Note 14 — MARLBOROUGH. No. II.[1]
Reading edition
"The consequences of this battle are likely to be greater than that of Blenheim; for we have now the whole summer before us, and, with the blessing of God, I will make the best use of it. For as I have had no council of war before this battle, so I hope to have none during the whole campaign; and I think we may make such work of it as may give the Queen the glory of making a safe and honourable peace, for the blessing of God is certainly with us."—Marlborough to Lord Godolphin, May 27, 1706. Coxe, II. 365.
