War weariness and taxes in the Dutch War debate
The text discusses the Pension of the Council of State to the States-General, arguing that taxes burden both general and provincial inhabitants. It warns that war fatigue should not justify impossibility claims, notes past failures like the Twelve Years Truce, and calls for unity to sustain war efforts while questioning which tax plans truly serve the war and peace balance. The discussion references the Treaty of Nijmegen and ongoing resistance to peace or truce terms, with a promise of further conclusions in the next issue.
