But, in the present case, I look upon the War to be so much already declared by France against England, that it is not so properly an act of choice, as an inevitable necessity, in our defence.--I shall only tell you, that, as I have ventured myself, and all that is dear to me, to secure this nation from what it suffered, I am ready still to do the same, in order to the preserving it from all its enemies; and, as I cannot doubt of such assistance from you, as shall be suitable to your advice to me to declare War against a powerful enemy, so you may rely upon me, that no part of that which you shall give for the carrying it on with success, shall be diverted by me, to any other use."
