To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The king of England's council having many strong rea- sons for rejecting this alliance, made no scruple to con- fess, that it was the interest of their crown to support Holland, instead of openly taking part with her enemies. It was now absolutely believed, that the Spaniards^ had nothing to hope for from England: Beaumont was the only one who was of a contrary opinion, and he fore- told, that notwithstanding ail these apparent obstacles, they would come to an agreement, which in effect they di...d. The Spaniards, sometime afterwards^ returned to the charge, still lessening their demands, according to their subtile maxims of policy, and commissioners were appointed on both sides; the disputes ran so high, that they were many times upon the point of breaking off the conference. The affair imperceptibly turned into a more peaceable negociation; the English commission- ers reduced the Spanish ones not only to express no re- sentment against France, but they were the first to say, that she ought not in any manner to be excluded.
