succour_v of_o england_n that_o which_o have_v still_o supply_v fuel_n to_o the_o flame_n and_o fire_n of_o the_o rebellion_n for_o if_o england_n will_v but_o fail_v they_o it_o be_v clear_a they_o

itself_o consume_v but_o we_o determine_v to_o overcome_v it_o by_o the_o contrary_a it_o may_v fall_v out_o that_o instead_o of_o extinguish_v it_o the_o force_n of_o it_o may_v be_v much_o

before_o their_o eye_n the_o spanish_a force_n and_o so_o will_v still_o do_v if_o they_o do_v not_o know_v the_o english_a will_v always_o be_v ready_a to_o buckle_v with_o any_o one_o that_o with_o a_o mighty_a fleet_n shall_v pass_v by_o these_o part_n in_o this_o respect_n the_o athenian_n think_v themselves_o sure_a from_o phillip_n force_n while_o the_o town_n of_o ohinton_n stand_v out_o and_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o the_o olintons_n be_v overcome_v than_o see_v they_o no_o impediment_n that_o can_v keep_v the_o enemy_n from_o they_o even_o so_o if_o england_n shall_v fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o your_o majesty_n the_o whole_a foundation_n of_o the_o rebel_n obstinacy_n be_v shake_v the_o fortress_n and_o back_n be_v remove_v by_o favour_n of_o which_o they_o have_v daily_o nourish_v the_o spirit_n of_o pride_n and_o insolency_n so_o as_o the_o soul_n and_o spirit_n yield_v england_n be_v take_v away_o we_o may_v perceiu_n that_o the_o conquest_n of_o the_o

but_o even_o as_o inseparable_o as_o the_o shadow_n the_o body_n or_o nourishment_n the_o life_n as_o also_o this_o reason_n which_o i_o will_v now_o recite_v be_v infallible_o ground_v upon_o the_o direct_a rule_n of_o art_n military_a which_o be_v that_o you_o ought_v never_o to_o employ_v yourself_o in_o the_o assault_n of_o any_o place_n if_o there_o remain_v still_o at_o your_o back_n a_o a_o mighty_a mean_n of_o some_o disturbance_n wherefore_o it_o be_v no_o sound_a deliberation_n to_o fasten_v first_o on_o the_o enterprise_n of_o the_o netherlands_o when_o you_o leave_v one_o ill-affected_a on_o your_o back_n which_o peradventure_o may_v sudden_o assail_v and_o break_v through_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o catholic_a army_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o war_n with_o the_o netherlands_o charles_n the_o 5_o his_o attempt_n in_o province_n have_v unhappy_a success_n for_o no_o other_o cause_n but_o that_o he_o contemn_v the_o advice_n of_o the_o marquis_n masto_n which_o be_v that_o first_o before_o any_o thing_n he_o shall_v expugne_v the_o fortress_n but_o that_o resolution_n be_v not_o take_v by_o charles_n be_v no_o less_o pernicious_a to_o the_o imperialist_n then_o to_o the_o author_n of_o that_o council_n antonio_n de_fw-fr leva_n another_o reason_n be_v attempt_v the_o war_n upon_o the_o netherlands_o you_o come_v to_o buckle_v with_o brave_a experience_a soldier_n and_o man_n bring_v up_o in_o war_n as_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o english_a want_n art_n and_o discipline_n military_a i_o may_v give_v the_o same_o comparison_n that_o may_v be_v make_v between_o idleness_n and_o experience_n arm_v and_o unarm_v and_o how_o advantageous_a it_o be_v to_o fight_v with_o unskilful_a soldier_n among_o many_o other_o the_o example_n of_o meltiades_n in_o the_o field_n of_o manathon_n show_v evident_o who_o with_o less_o than_o ten_o thousand_o brave_a soldier_n put_v to_o flight_n the_o force_n of_o unhappy_a xerxes_n who_o have_v more_o than_o six_o hundred_o thousand_o with_o he_o a_o other_o be_v that_o the_o netherlands_o must_v be_v conquer_v by_o handful_n and_o have_v full_a or_o whole_a army_n employ_v in_o beleager_v this_o or_o that_o fort_n otherwise_o per-adventure_n of_o no_o great_a importance_n but_o as_o it_o may_v be_v a_o stop_n to_o his_o course_n of_o victory_n that_o go_v about_o to_o seize_v upon_o the_o country_n whereas_o contrary_o england_n have_v no_o strong_a tower_n or_o fortress_n as_o well_o within_o as_o without_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n of_o that_o enterprise_n and_o be_v as_o much_o more_o easy_a than_o this_o as_o it_o be_v a_o less_o matter_n to_o overcome_v they_o that_o do_v not_o resist_v than_o those_o that_o do_v fight_v upon_o warlike_a advantage_n there_o be_v no_o better_a example_n to_o be_v produce_v to_o your_o highness_n then_o of_o the_o self_n same_o country_n of_o the_o netherlands_o in_o which_o notwithstanding_o that_o your_o majesty_n have_v place_v such_o strong_a garrison_n yet_o at_o every_o step_n such_o prevailent_a accident_n do_v occur_v that_o oftentimes_o the_o assailant_n be_v overcome_v by_o the_o often_o opposition_n that_o these_o fortress_n use_v towards_o they_o even_o as_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o kingdom_n of_o portugal_n there_o be_v no_o convenient_a fortress_n to_o give_v impediment_n to_o the_o force_n of_o the_o soldier_n be_v suffer_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o very_a heart_n of_o the_o land_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v any_o manner_n of_o defence_n to_o defend_v the_o same_o another_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o the_o fortress_n be_v as_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o assailant_n after_o they_o have_v obtain_v they_o as_o they_o be_v before_o by_o reason_n the_o conqueror_n be_v force_v to_o distribute_v his_o army_n into_o many_o member_n by_o which_o they_o be_v great_o weaken_v so_o that_o by_o this_o that_o have_v be_v speak_v it_o may_v appear_v that_o it_o be_v much_o more_o convenient_a nay_o as_o it_o seem_v much_o more_o easy_a for_o your_o highness_n to_o push_v at_o england_n then_o the_o netherlands_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v discourse_v of_o that_o enterprise_n not_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o other_o as_o heretofore_o i_o have_v do_v but_o in_o respect_n of_o itself_o manifest_v certain_a principle_n which_o do_v better_a declare_v and_o make_v manifest_a the_o opportunity_n &_o facility_n thereof_o in_o my_o opinion_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n not_o to_o be_v doubt_v if_o medicine_n be_v then_o true_o to_o call_v wholesome_a when_o it_o have_v reference_n not_o only_o to_o the_o offend_a part_n or_o member_n but_o further_o to_o cut_v off_o the_o root_n of_o the_o evil_a and_o therefore_o if_o your_o majesty_n shall_v enter_v into_o the_o conquest_n of_o the_o netherlands_o you_o but_o peradventure_o cure_v the_o wound_n of_o that_o rebellion_n but_o you_o shall_v not_o evacuate_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o beginning_n of_o these_o ill_a humour_n which_o have_v daily_o send_v nourishment_n to_o the_o disease_n consider_v england_n be_v the_o place_n which_o have_v give_v sustenance_n to_o the_o rebellious_a state_n and_o though_o these_o province_n be_v you_o of_o this_o present_a disposition_n yet_o what_o can_v that_o be_v in_o a_o body_n subject_a to_o continual_a suggestion_n of_o matter_n which_o in_o it_o own_o nature_n present_v in_o the_o stomach_n some_o portion_n of_o offensive_a humour_n your_o majesty_n must_v therefore_o necessary_o assault_v england_n to_o the_o end_n you_o may_v afterward_o either_o secure_o digest_v or_o evacuate_v these_o concourse_n but_o to_o discourse_v more_o at_o large_a of_o the_o facility_n of_o the_o enterprise_n i_o deny_v not_o true_o but_o that_o england_n be_v a_o very_a mighty_a kingdom_n and_o the_o great_a island_n that_o ever_o we_o find_v any_o mention_n make_v of_o by_o the_o ancient_n see_v it_o contain_v scotland_n
