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.

in_o that_o so_o importunate_a affiaire_n shall_v we_o seek_v occasion_n so_o light_a but_o to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v appear_v evident_o that_o in_o every_o respect_n your_o majesty_n be_v bind_v

to_o obtain_v as_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o my_o first_o foundation_n i_o betake_v myself_o to_o these_o principal_a head_n the_o first_o be_v if_o the_o netherlands_o have_v not_o maintain_v war_n so_o many_o year_n but_o by_o the_o aid_n and_o 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

extinguish_v by_o take_v away_o the_o maintenance_n and_o nourishment_n thereof_o then_o by_o strive_v to_o quench_v it_o by_o his_o contrary_n for_o have_v no_o nourishment_n at_o all_o the_o violent_a heat_n be_v use_v against_o itself_o and_o so_o by_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 increase_v if_o the_o contrary_n be_v subdue_v by_o the_o same_o and_o therefore_o the_o florentine_n then_o and_o not_o before_o quench_v the_o fire_n of_o the_o pison_n rebellion_n when_o they_o take_v away_o the_o fuel_n and_o nourishment_n from_o it_o which_o come_v from_o stranger_n by_o cut_v off_o prince_n their_o collegate_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 ohintons_n be_v overcome_v than_o see_v they_o no_o impediment_n that_o can_v keep_v the_o

we_o may_v perceive_v that_o the_o conquest_n of_o the_o netherlands_o be_v easy_o bring_v forth_o by_o the_o victory_n as_o her_o lawful_a daughter_n and_o that_o the_o end_n follow_v not_o as_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

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
