england_n be_v think_v in_o france_n so_o inconsiderable_a by_o reason_n of_o her_o domestic_a feud_n fear_n and_o incurable_a jealousy_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v fear_v or_o hope_v from_o it_o whereas_o pension_n be_v to_o be_v employ_v in_o potent_a and_o unite_a state_n i_o do_v not_o design_n by_o this_o to_o prove_v that_o no_o french_a pensioner_n be_v now_o maintain_v in_o

that_o they_o shall_v be_v such_o fool_n as_o to_o conspire_v with_o france_n to_o ruin_n england_n for_o nothing_o or_o that_o which_o be_v next_o to_o it_o and_o it_o be_v as_o silly_a a_o

he_o be_v of_o the_o king_n speech_n i_o can_v say_v because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o my_o power_n to_o examine_v those_o article_n but_o his_o mention_v our_o obligation_n to_o assist_v spain_n in_o

have_v with_o spain_n consist_v of_o mutual_a obligation_n of_o succour_n and_o defence_n now_o the_o account_n my_o author_n give_v of_o it_o be_v in_o part_n so_o impossible_a and_o in_o the_o

of_o the_o nation_n to_o give_v aid_n to_o so_o pious_a a_o design_n and_o to_o make_v war_n upon_o their_o majesty_n the_o people_n with_o all_o his_o force_n both_o by_o land_n and_o sea_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o the_o minister_n be_v not_o forward_o in_o show_v this_o league_n to_o the_o parliament_n who_o will_v have_v soon_o observe_v all_o these_o inconvenience_n
