May it please Your Majesty,
IT is not a Desire to appear in Print hath made me to write, or a fond Opinion of what I have written, to affix Your Great Name to these Papers, but a true Affection to my Native Country,and the Cause Your Majesty is now engag'd in; A War, on whose good Success depends theSecurity of Religion, Liberty, and Property, both to Your own Subjects, and likewise to all theProtestant Interest in Europe; A War, as it is absolutely necessary, and must be carried on withVigour, so it is like to be long and chargeable, and so much longer, as we abate in OurVigorous Prosecution; A War, which may strain the Nerves and Sinews of our Treasure beforeit be ended, and therefore as in Martial Discipline great Wisdom must be used to secure thosePosts where the Enemy bends most of his Forces, so here 'tis Prudence to strengthen ourTreasure, by advancing and securing our Trade which must bring it in; If this was done, Taxeswould be easily paid, and little felt, and without it this Nation will at last become Bankrupt,when its Expences exceed its Profits.
