kingdom_n for_o do_v not_o at_o this_o present_a many_o hundred_o i_o may_v say_v thousand_o of_o his_o majesty_n subject_n serve_v other_o state_n at_o sea_n as_o the_o hollander_n nay_o the_o turk_n without_o either_o leave_n or_o knowledge_n of_o his_o majesty_n now_o if_o the_o french_a king_n shall_v come_v to_o be_v as_o powerful_a or_o more_o than_o his_o majesty_n at_o sea_n he_o will_v be_v a_o more_o dangerous_a and_o fearful_a neighbour_n to_o england_n then_o spain_n who_o hitherto_o this_o kingdom_n have_v of_o latter_o year_n only_o have_v cause_n to_o fear_v for_o that_o against_o spain_n the_o low-countries_n will_v ever_o be_v a_o good_a bulwark_n who_o if_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n at_o any_o time_n make_v any_o great_a preparation_n at_o sea_n will_v be_v ever_o jealous_a it_o be_v intend_v against_o they_o and_o so_o ever_o arm_v against_o he_o and_o be_v always_o ready_a to_o join_v with_o and_o to_o assist_v his_o majesty_n against_o spain_n which_o may_v be_v doubt_v they_o will_v not_o so_o ready_o do_v against_o france_n with_o who_o they_o be_v in_o league_n and_o not_o jealous_a off_o beside_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n have_v not_o so_o populous_a a_o country_n as_o he_o can_v easy_o prepare_v either_o a_o great_a fleet_n or_o land_n army_n and_o much_o less_o both_o without_o long_a time_n and_o so_o his_o majesty_n may_v have_v the_o more_o warning_n thereof_o then_o spain_n be_v further_o from_o england_n and_o so_o the_o journey_n be_v the_o long_o and_o from_o thence_o can_v come_v many_o horse_n which_o be_v the_o force_n most_o to_o be_v fear_v in_o england_n whereas_o france_n be_v so_o near_o we_o and_o so_o full_a of_o soldier_n both_o horse_n and_o foot_n if_o it_o once_o come_v to_o be_v able_a to_o equal_a england_n at_o sea_n by_o sudden_a and_o quick_a preparation_n steal_v opportunity_n he_o may_v overtop_v england_n at_o sea_n and_o then_o transport_v such_o a_o army_n of_o horse_n and_o foot_n as_o we_o may_v just_o be_v afraid_a of_o for_o old_a soldier_n both_o horse_n and_o foot_n france_n abound_v in_o and_o the_o french_a have_v a_o virtue_n proper_a to_o they_o that_o not_o a_o gentleman_n think_v himself_o any_o thing_n until_o he_o have_v see_v the_o war_n learn_v at_o least_o good_a and_o perfect_a use_n of_o his_o arm_n and_o natural_o they_o be_v all_o good_a horseman_n their_o land_n afford_v horse_n fit_a for_o service_n and_o every_o man_n almost_o know_v to_o use_v pistol_n and_o carabin_n whereas_o in_o england_n unless_o those_o which_o have_v be_v soldier_n few_o or_o none_o can_v use_v their_o arm_n and_o of_o those_o which_o have_v be_v soldier_n it_o may_v be_v not_o all_o can_v well_o use_v their_o arm_n especial_o the_o musket_n which_o be_v of_o most_o offence_n which_o our_o nation_n be_v not_o natural_o so_o prompt_a to_o learn_v the_o use_n of_o as_o the_o french_a be_v and_o for_o horse_n this_o kingdom_n be_v so_o deficient_a as_o it_o be_v a_o question_n whether_o or_o not_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n can_v make_v 2000_o good_a horse_n that_o may_v equal_v 2000_o french_a to_o redress_n these_o deficience_n in_o all_o humility_n i_o here_o present_v my_o poor_a and_o slender_a advice_n under_o correction_n and_o with_o submission_n to_o better_a judgement_n first_o and_o principal_o i_o will_v advise_v that_o his_o majesty_n will_v arm_v at_o sea_n for_o that_o be_v the_o sure_a defence_n for_o we_o can_v never_o be_v hurt_v by_o a_o foreign_a enemy_n by_o land_n till_o we_o be_v first_o beat_v at_o sea_n and_o therein_o i_o can_v give_v better_o advise_v then_o to_o do_v what_o the_o french_a king_n do_v as_o to_o repair_v and_o increase_v his_o own_o royal_a navy_n which_o be_v the_o great_a and_o best_a assure_a strength_n of_o england_n and_o to_o that_o end_n to_o set_v apart_o some_o certain_a large_a proportion_n of_o his_o revenue_n that_o his_o seaman_n may_v have_v good_a pay_n and_o well_o pay_v and_o if_o there_o be_v good_a and_o strict_a course_n take_v that_o there_o be_v no_o abuse_n in_o the_o muster_n victual_v consumption_n of_o ammunition_n which_o without_o good_a payment_n can_v well_o be_v execute_v his_o majesty_n will_v be_v a_o gainer_n thereby_o in_o matter_n of_o profit_n beside_o the_o reputation_n and_o advantage_n of_o his_o service_n and_o it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o no_o prince_n nor_o state_n but_o have_v better_o give_v 40_o in_o the_o hundred_o for_o money_n to_o pay_v his_o militia_n well_o than_o not_o to_o pay_v well_o then_o to_o encourage_v his_o merchant_n and_o other_o subject_n to_o trade_n and_o in_o make_v new_a plantation_n for_o his_o land-force_n that_o his_o majesty_n will_v take_v order_n that_o the_o number_n of_o train_a man_n be_v increase_v or_o rather_o that_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n from_o 18._o or_o 20._o to_o 35._o or_o 40._o as_o many_o man_n as_o be_v able_a of_o body_n be_v arm_v one_o three_o with_o pike_n and_o armour_n another_o with_o musket_n and_o the_o three_o with_o caliver_n that_o there_o be_v powder_n bullet_n and_o ma●ch_n through_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n magazine_n thereof_o in_o sundry_a place_n of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o such_o a_o quantity_n as_o if_o it_o be_v ●nvaded_v in_o one_o or_o divers_a part_n there_o be_v no_o want_n of_o ammunition_n in_o any_o place_n for_o it_o will_v be_v then_o too_o late_o to_o fetch_v it_o elsewhere_o and_o much_o worse_o then_o to_o make_v it_o or_o send_v over_o sea_n for_o it_o that_o there_o be_v care_n take_v that_o these_o man_n then_o arm_v may_v be_v well_o exercise_v and_o to_o that_o end_n that_o there_o be_v in_o every_o hundred_o or_o wapentake_n some_o old_a soldier_n sergeant_n or_o other_o inferior_a officer_n have_v out_o of_o the_o low-countries_n well_o choose_v t●at_a may_v teach_v man_n the_o use_n of_o their_o arm_n and_o that_o there_o be_v certain_a day_n set_v and_o appoint_v for_o the_o show_v their_o arm_n and_o exercise_v they_o and_o if_o the_o statute_n which_o be_v former_o for_o sport_v in_o the_o long_a bow_n be_v revive_v or_o convert_v with_o deliberation_n for_o the_o musket_n and_o caliver_n to_o practise_v by_o shoot_v at_o mark_n on_o ordinary_a holiday_n and_o such_o like_a time_n and_o at_o some_o time_n some_o small_a prize_n for_o they_o that_o shoot_v near_a under_o correction_n i_o think_v it_o be_v much_o for_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o kingdom_n then_o that_o there_o be_v good_a choice_n make_v of_o the_o mustermaster_n none_o to_o be_v but_o such_o as_o have_v bear_v office_n in_o some_o actual_a war_n of_o reputation_n for_o better_o there_o be_v none_o and_o their_o allowance_n divide_v unto_o sundry_a inferior_a man_n then_o for_o one_o to_o draw_v a_o great_a pay_n that_o either_o know_v not_o to_o do_v or_o do_v not_o any_o thing_n for_o it_o and_o because_o there_o be_v or_o may_v be_v such_o as_o have_v bear_v office_n in_o the_o war_n and_o yet_o discontinue_v so_o long_o as_o they_o have_v forget_v their_o trade_n or_o that_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o war_n and_o exercise_v be_v change_v since_o he_o be_v last_o a_o soldier_n that_o every_o mustermaster_n shall_v not_o only_o at_o his_o first_o entrance_n be_v approve_v by_o such_o as_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v he_o to_o be_v fit_a for_o that_o charge_n but_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v continue_v so_o he_o be_v enjoin_v once_o in_o 4_o or_o 5._o year_n to_o go_v personal_o for_o the_o summer_n time_n into_o some_o actual_a war_n abroad_o if_o any_o bee_n to_o retain_v and_o renew_v his_o knowledge_n that_o the_o captain_n of_o the_o train_a band_n be_v enjoin_v themselves_o to_o pass_v the_o sea_n to_o learn_v the_o duty_n of_o their_o place_n or_o at_o least_o to_o keep_v of_o his_o own_o charge_n one_o that_o can_v discharge_v his_o place_n and_o if_o neither_o to_o quite_v their_o command_n to_o such_o as_o will_v do_v the_o one_o or_o other_o by_o this_o mean_n his_o majesty_n may_v have_v a_o army_n of_o foot_n on_o a_o sudden_a in_o any_o part_n of_o england_n to_o answer_v all_o occasion_n without_o draw_v his_o force_n much_o far_o out_o of_o their_o proper_a country_n for_o a_o enemy_n may_v make_v show_v of_o land_v in_o one_o place_n and_o have_v draw_v the_o great_a strength_n of_o the_o kingdom_n thither_o wind_n erve_v for_o it_o sudden_o transport_v himself_o to_o another_o before_o that_o army_n can_v by_o land_n come_v there_o now_o for_o horse_n wherein_o this_o kingdom_n be_v more_o defective_a than_o i_o think_v be_v any_o other_o it_o be_v a_o work_n worthy_a of_o his_o majesty_n serious_o to_o take_v it_o into_o consideration_n how_o to_o amend_v it_o and_o though_o on_o a_o sudden_a it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v hope_v to_o bring_v
