A11786 An Experimentall discoverie of Spanish practises, or, The Counsell of a well-wishing souldier, for the good of his prince and state wherein is manifested from known experience, both the cruelty, and policy of the Spaniard, to effect his own ends : chiefly swelling with multiplicity of glorious titles, as one of the greatest monarchs of the earth, that being admired of all, his greatnesse might amaze all, and so by degrees seeking covertly to tyrannize over all, when as indeed and truth, the greatest part of his pretended greatnesse is but a windy crack of an ambitious minde.

these_o of_o england_n have_v be_v which_o from_o the_o height_n of_o religion_n throw_v itself_o headlong_o into_o the_o depth_n of_o infidelity_n from_o whence_o rise_v again_o into_o the_o

which_o we_o may_v plain_o see_v the_o effect_n if_o we_o do_v but_o observe_v she_o have_v lose_v the_o foundation_n whereupon_o no_o less_o her_o reputation_n than_o security_n be_v ground_v that_o be_v she_o have_v lose_v the_o power_n and_o authority_n which_o sometime_o she_o have_v in_o sea-affaire_n for_o in_o time_n past_o this_o island_n maintain_v a_o great_a number_n of_o ship_n and_o keep_v a_o continual_a fleet_n of_o arm_n whereupon_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o mind_v to_o try_v the_o strength_n of_o her_o own_o force_n the_o preparation_n be_v admirable_a among_o other_o we_o may_v see_v that_o when_o henry_n the_o six_o of_o england_n go_v against_o charles_n the_o six_o of_o france_n with_o near_o eight_o hundred_o great_a ship_n which_o make_v a_o bridge_n over_o the_o ocean_n but_o the_o quantity_n of_o that_o island_n be_v so_o diverse_a and_o change_v that_o since_o the_o day_n of_o henry_n seven_o and_o eight_o it_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o maintain_v one_o hundred_o ordinary_a ship_n which_o it_o be_v wont_a to_o weigh_v and_o have_v in_o readiness_n for_o the_o security_n of_o the_o state_n and_o further_o this_o island_n have_v be_v put_v to_o such_o pinch_n that_o they_o have_v not_o only_o be_v constrain_v to_o diminish_v but_o to_o sell_v outright_o a_o great_a part_n of_o their_o ship_n which_o both_o be_v and_o be_v their_o only_a security_n from_o foreign_a danger_n so_o much_o more_o urgent_a in_o prince_n be_v fear_n of_o present_a poverty_n than_o the_o respect_n of_o their_o future_a safety_n so_o that_o now_o come_v to_o resolve_v on_o the_o point_n of_o facility_n that_o your_o majesty_n shall_v now_o find_v in_o that_o enterprise_n against_o this_o island_n i_o will_v offer_v to_o your_o highness_n two_o principal_a head_n the_o one_o of_o the_o defendant_n the_o other_o of_o the_o assailant_n whereby_o i_o will_v show_v that_o the_o assail_v be_v as_o unable_a to_o defend_v as_o the_o defendant_n be_v to_o assail_v as_o for_o the_o defendant_n which_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n it_o may_v certain_o be_v aver_v that_o it_o can_v stand_v out_o in_o defensive_a war_n against_o the_o force_n of_o your_o majesty_n if_o you_o will_v but_o invade_v it_o with_o the_o provision_n which_o be_v easy_a for_o you_o to_o compass_v and_o such_o as_o the_o enterprise_n and_o importance_n of_o the_o action_n require_v the_o which_o i_o will_v clear_o show_v for_o diverse_a respect_n the_o first_o be_v because_o as_o i_o have_v say_v the_o i_o will_v of_o england_n be_v poor_a and_o therefore_o be_v her_o debility_n such_o as_o if_o she_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o manage_v a_o defensive_a be_v against_o so_o mighty_a and_o potent_a as_o your_o catholic_a majesty_n she_o may_v as_o well_o go_v about_o to_o sustain_v heaven_n on_o her_o shoulder_n be_v neither_o alcides_n nor_o atlas_n the_o second_o be_v for_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o necessity_n which_o possess_v there_o the_o state_n of_o england_n have_v no_o more_o in_o readiness_n such_o number_n of_o ship_n as_o be_v sometime_o maintain_v for_o the_o protection_n and_o security_n of_o their_o kingdom_n the_o three_o be_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n by_o carelessness_n neglect_v or_o by_o poverty_n omit_v to_o have_v always_o in_o readiness_n prepare_v or_o practise_v man_n arm_n or_o provision_n as_o all_o other_o prince_n have_v to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v a_o present_a remedy_n to_o all_o sudden_a insurrection_n which_o grow_v either_o at_o home_n or_o abroad_o the_o four_o be_v because_o the_o desire_n of_o innovation_n be_v proper_a to_o the_o kingdom_n who_o mind_n do_v always_o aspire_v after_o change_n and_o whosoever_o do_v not_o observe_v former_a history_n will_v judge_v that_o her_o seditious_a conspiracy_n and_o every_o other_o effect_n of_o a_o disturb_a and_o move_a mind_n have_v have_v their_o proper_a nest_n be_v stir_v up_o with_o consideration_n which_o be_v accompany_v with_o the_o ordinary_a disposition_n of_o the_o people_n to_o be_v always_o attempt_v of_o new_a thing_n may_v easy_o of_o a_o sudden_a if_o it_o be_v assault_v put_v the_o realm_n into_o confusion_n especial_o when_o the_o army_n of_o so_o mighty_a a_o enemy_n as_o your_o majesty_n shall_v present_v itself_o whereby_o rebel_n may_v liberal_o discover_v their_o heart_n without_o be_v
