their influence all over Europe, & I should rejoice

prouduce his Royal Highness upon that stage
where his great & extraordinary talents
are rendring such high & important ser
vices to these Kingdoms. I hope these are be
ginnings of greater prosperity in which
you will have a large part, & which will
lead us to a safe & honorable Peace. I wish
for occasions of approving my self
