was of vo longer continuance than fuited 
the neceflities of their treafury, or the ca- 
prices of their will. In aftertimes ay 
eyes of princes were opened to their tr 
interefts, and the Jews began tobe oo 
ed with more moderation. The fovereigns 
of Europe from north to fouth, found 
them a ufeful body of people, whom they 
could not wel! do without. To fay no- 
thing of the Grand Duke of Tulcany, 
England and Holland granted them the 
protection of their government, with the 
free exercile of their religion. Spain has 
found the-bad policy of driving them out 
of that country, as France has done of 
the perfecution of the Protefiants. Thus 
the fews are at prefent {pread over all Eu- 
rope, living in eafe and fecurity and are 
become the. inftruments, by means of which 
nations at the greateft ditance communi- 
cate with each other, and. thereby become 
connected; in which ref{pect, the_Jews re- 
femble the nails and- wooden pegs -where- 
by a vakt edifice is held together: and 
this toleration is certainly agreeable to 
the principles and doctrine of Chriffianity, 
which inculcates love and charity towards 
all mankind.

Ge The Swedes begin now to abate fomes 
what of their great expectation of a new 
rupture between the Port and the Czar of 
Mulcovy ; but till flatter themfelves that 
they will be powerfully affifted again& king 
Auguft: what ground they have for fuck 
hopes I can’t comprehend, efpecially fince 
the Turks have declar’d they will not 
engage in any warr againft Poland; ands 
finie they fo much negle@led the intereft 
of the Swedes, when they might with one 
word have procur’d them all the advan- 
tages they reafonably could: have defir'd ¢ 
As to the ro™Spahis and fome thoufand 
Tartars, which °tis faid the Grand- Vis 
zier has offered the king of Sweden, I 
do not hear tis with any other defign than 
to conduct him to lake place. of fafetys. 
whence he may with cafe come to his own. 
dominions. In fhort, had the king. of. 
Sweden a fumm of money to throw away 
among thefe people, fomewhat might be 
hop’d for from them; but I affure your: 
lordfhip that xerwus rerum ger. fails us to. 
fuch a degree, the Swedes are themfelves 
fo miferably poor that unlefs the Swedes 
gett fupplys from the Port they will:not. 
be able to ftirr one ftepp from Bender.» I 
have taken’ occafion, from the ill ufage the 
king has mett with here, to infinuate to 
thefe Minifters how much more it would- 
be for his Majefty’s advantage ta rely 
upon his Chriftian allys, and to give them 
alfurances not.to invade Saxony, then to 
{pene his time in courting the 168, by 
whom he may be fare to be xy wycox at 
laf, but having no orders from England 
to advance any fuch propofition, and find= 
ing the Swedes ftill infift on obligations. 
and treatys without giving us.any_hepes 
of the oa ‘d affurance, I have defifted to 
urge it farther. 
““Yefterday a letter from theGrandVizir 
to the king of Sweden was communicated 
to me, which: was conceiv’d -in very-un« 
becoming terms, viz. That his Majeft

out of the country ; t that he had rather res 
pair to his own dommmions, where his pres
