Addressing Englishmen directly, the Frenchman thus counsels:--

“Englishmen! you must needs submit to your destiny, and

renounce a people who do not wish longer to recognize you. To

avoid giving them any uneasiness, and to prevent all dispute

in the future, _have the courage to abandon to them all the

neighboring countries which have not yet shaken off your

yoke_.”[571]
