Note 11 — MARLBOROUGH. No. II.[1]
Reading edition
"This vast addition of renown which your Grace has acquired, and the wonderful preservation of your life, are subjects upon which I can never express a thousandth part of what I feel. France and faction are the only enemies England has to fear, and your Grace will conquer both; at least, while you beat the French, you give a strength to the Government which the other dares not contend with."—Bolingbroke to Marlborough, May 28, 1706. Coxe, II. 358.
