of_o the_o principal_a element_n of_o advance_v a_o commonwealth_n and_o be_v much_o make_v use_n of_o by_o the_o roman_n it_o will_v do_v very_o well_o also_o if_o a_o law_n be_v make_v that_o the_o

to_o provide_v well_o enough_o against_o all_o these_o thing_n three_o let_v the_o king_n give_v leave_v to_o his_o soldier_n to_o seize_v upon_o woman_n in_o the_o low-countries_n england_n and_o

all_o these_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v so_o order_v that_o the_o dutch_a woman_n be_v marry_v to_o spaniard_n and_o the_o african_a woman_n either_o to_o german_n or_o low-dutch_a and_o the_o spanish_a woman_n to_o italian_n for_o this_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n seem_v to_o require_v that_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o spaniard_n shall_v be_v render_v more_o fruitful_a by_o the_o german_a juycinesse_n and_o that_o the_o fiery_a temper_n of_o the_o african_a shall_v be_v attemper_v and_o allay_v by_o the_o cold_a and_o moist_a constitution_n of_o the_o netherlander_n that_o so_o both_o venereal_a

good_a for_o both_o and_o from_o hence_o will_v arise_v two_o advantage_n the_o first_o whereof_o be_v that_o these_o woman_n will_v embrace_v the_o christian_a faith_n for_o a_o woman_n will_v never_o be_v of_o any_o other_o religion_n then_o that_o which_o her_o husband_n who_o she_o love_v so_o dear_o be_v of_o as_o your_o northern_a woman_n who_o be_v natural_o cold_a love_v their_o

the_o contrary_n the_o second_o advantage_n be_v that_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o king_n shall_v never_o be_v without_o good_a store_n of_o soldier_n while_o he_o shall_v always_o have_v his_o soldier_n son_n also_o to_o make_v soldier_n of_o when_o therefore_o he_o shall_v once_o come_v to_o abound_v in_o soldier_n by_o reason_n of_o this_o course_n take_v to_o promote_v fructification_n which_o i_o have_v now_o lay_v down_o it_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o inflame_v the_o soldier_n mind_n and_o will_v exceed_o encourage_v they_o to_o go_v on_o against_o any_o garrison_n or_o

be_v a_o secret_a of_o plato_n find_v out_o that_o soldier_n shall_v be_v stir_v up_o and_o encourage_v to_o fight_v for_o love_n i_o will_v also_o have_v a_o law_n make_v that_o such_o soldier_n as_o

where_o they_o can_v in_o a_o enemy_n country_n which_o they_o may_v make_v their_o wife_n and_o this_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o encourage_v poor_a people_n to_o get_v child_n as_o fast_o as_o
