ever full of encumber In a well conditioned Ship these things are chiefly required 1. That she be strong built 2. Swift it sail 3. Stout-sided 4. That her Ports be so laid as that she may carry out her Guns all weathers 5. That she hull and trie well 6. That she stay well when boarding or turning on a wind is required To make her strong consisteth in the care and truth of the work-man to make her swift is to give her a large Run or way forward and so aftward done by art and just proportion and that in laying out of her bowes before and quarters behind the Ship-wright be sure that she neither sink nor hang into the water but lie clear and above it wherein Ship-wrights do often fail and then is the speed in sailing utterly spoiled That she be stout-sided the same is provided by a long bearing floar and by sharing off from above water to the lower edge of the Ports which done then will she carry out her Ordinance all weathers To make her to hull and to trie well which is called a good sea-Ship there are two things principally to be regarded the one that she have a good draught of water the other that she be not overcharged And this is seldom done in the Kings Ships and therefore we are forced to lye or trie in them with our main Course and mizen which with a deep keel and standing streak she would perform The extream length of a Ship makes her unapt to stay especially if she be floatie and want sharpness of way forward And it is most true that such over-long Ships are fitter for the narrow Seas in summer than for the Ocean or long voyages and therefore an hundred foot by the Keel and thirtie five foot broad is a good proportion for a great Ship It is to be noted that all Ships sharp before not having a long floar will fall rough into the sea from a billow and take in water over head and ears and the same qualitie have all narrow-quartered ships to sink after the tail The high Cargeing of ships is that that brings many ill qualities it makes them extream Lee-ward makes them sink deep into the seas makes them labour sore in foul weather and oft-times overset Safetie is more to be respected than shews or niceness for ease in sea-journeys both cannot well stand together and therefore the most necessarie is to be chosen Two Decks and an half is enough and no building at all above that but a low Masters Cabbin Our Masters and Mariners will say that the ships will bear more well enough and true it is if none but ordinarie Mariners served in them But men of better sort unused to such a life cannot so well endure the rowling and tumbling from side to side where the seas are never so little grown which comes by high Cargeing Besides those high Cabbin-works aloft are very dangerous in fight to tear men with their splinters Above all other things have care that the great Guns be four foot clear above water when all lading is in or else these best pieces are idle at sea for if the Ports lie lower and be open it is dangerous and by that default was a goodly Ship and many gallant Gentlemen lost in the days of Henry the Eigth before the Isle of Wight in a Ship called by the name of Mary-Rose Sir Walter Releigh's PILGRIMAGE GIve me my Scallop shell of Quiet My Staff of Faith to walk upon My Scrip of Joy immortal Diet My Bottle of Salvation My Gown of Glorie Hopes true gage And thus I le take my Pilgrimage Bloud must be my Bodies onely Balmer No other Balm will there be given Whil'st my Soul like a quiet Palmer Travelleth towards the Land of Heaven Over the silver Mountains Where springs the Nectar Fountains There I will kiss the Bowl of Bliss And drink mine everlasting fill Upon every Milken hill My soul will be adrie before But after it will thirst no more I le take them first to quench my Thirst And tast of Nectars suckets At those clear Wells Where sweetness dwells Drawn up by Saints in Chrystal Buckets Then by that happy blestfull day More peacefull Pilgrimes I shall see That have cast off their rags of clay And walk apparelled fresh like me And when our Bottles and all we Are fill'd with Immortalitie Then the blessed Paths wee 'l travel Strow'd with Rubies thick as gravel Sealings of Diamonds Saphire flowers High walls of Coral and Pearly Bowers From thence to Heavens bribeless Hall Where no corrupted voices brawl No Conscience molten into Gold No forg'd Accuser bought or sold No cause deferr'd no vain-spent Journey For there CHRIST is the Kings Attorney Who pleads for all without degrees And he hath Angels but no Fees And when the twelve Grand-million Jurie Of our Sins will direfull Jurie 'Gainst our Souls black Verdicts give Christ pleads his Death and then we Live Be thou my Speaker taintless Pleader Unblotted Lawyer true Proceeder Thou would'st Salvation even for Alms Not with a bribed Lawyers Palms And this is mine eternal Plea To him that made Heaven Earth and Sea That since my Flesh must die so soon And want a Head to dine next noon Just at the stroak when my Veins start and spread Set on my Soul an everlasting Head Then am I readie like a Palmer fit To tread those blest Paths which before I writ Of Death and Iudgement Heaven and Hell Who oft doth think must needs Die well Sir Walter Raleigh's VERSES Found in his Bible in the Gate-house at Westminster EVen such is Time which takes in trust Our Youth our Joys and all we have And pays us nought but Age and Dust When in the dark and silent Grave When we have wandred all our ways Shuts up

RALEIGH On the Snuff of a Candle the night before he died Cowards fear to Die but Courage stout Rather than Live in Snuff will be put out Sir WALTER RALEIGH'S SPEECH Immediately before he was beheaded UPon Simon and Iudes day the Lieuetenant of the Tower had a Warrant to bring his Prisoner to the Kings-Bench in Westminster-Hall where the Attorney General demanded Execution according to the Judgement pronounced against him at Winchester the Lord Chief Justice caused the Indictment Verdict and Judgement to be read and after asked him what he could say Why he should not die according to the Law his answer was That this fifteen years he had lived by the meer mercy of the King and did now wonder how his Mercy was turned into Justice he not knowing any thing wherein he had provoked his Majesties displeasure and did hope that he was clear from that Judgement by the Kings Commission in making him General of the Voyage to Guiana for as he conceived the words To his trustie and welbeloved subject c.

repell force by force we may justly say O miserable English If Parker and Metham took Campeach and other places in the Honduraes seated in the heart of the Spanish Indies burnt Towns and killed the Spaniards and had nothing said unto them at their return and my self forbore to look into the Indies because I would not offend I may as justly say O miserable Sir Walter Raleigh If I have spent my poor estate lost my son suffered by sickness and otherwise a world of miseries if I have resisted with manifest hazard of my life the Robberies Spoils with which my Companions would have made me rich if when I was poor I would have made my self rich if when I have gotten my libertie which all men and nature it self do much prize I voluntarily lost it if when I was sure of my life I rendered it again if I might elsewhere have sold my ship and goods and put five or six thousand pounds in my purss and yet brought her into England I beseech your Majestie to believe that all this I have done because it should not be said to your Majestie that your Majestie had given libertie and trust to a man whose end was but the recoverie of his libertie and who had betrayed your Majesties trust My

self yet hath embraced povertie and peril And as sure I am that my example shall make me the last but your Majesties wisdom and goodness I have made my judges who have ever been and shall ever be Your

excellent Prince IF the Ship your Highness intends to build be bigger than the Victorie then her beams which are laid overthwart from side to side will not serve again and many other of her timbers and other stuff will not serve whereas if she be a size less the timber of the old Ship will serve well to the building of a new If she be bigger she will be of less use go very deep to water and of mightie charge our Channels decaying every year less nimble less mannyable and seldom to be used Grande Navio grande fatica saith the Spaniard A Ship of six hundred Tuns will carrie as good Ordinance as a Ship of twelve hundred Tuns and where the greater hath double her Ordinance the less will turn her broad side twice before the great Ship can wind once and so no advantage in that over-plus of Guns The lesser will go over clear where the greater shall stick and perish the lesser will come and go leave or take and is yare whereas the greater is flow unmanyable and
