of_o less_o and_o less_o hability_n to_o resist_v the_o enemy_n when_o necessity_n shall_v require_v also_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o by_o the_o usual_a and_o unlawful_a eat_n of_o

this_o be_v a_o wonderful_a decay_n in_o a_o commonwealth_n and_o aught_o with_o christian_n charity_n of_o all_o man_n to_o be_v lament_v that_o for_o the_o satisfy_n of_o our_o lust_n contrary_a

call_v the_o eat_n up_o of_o god_n people_n like_o bread_n against_o who_o the_o psalmist_n earnest_o cry_v psal_n 14.35_o thus_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o by_o the_o unlawful_a eat_n of_o

there_o be_v the_o value_n of_o three_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n yearly_a abate_v by_o reason_n whereof_o three_o great_a damage_n and_o danger_n proceed_v that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o abate_v

further_n when_o the_o queen_n majesty_n have_v occasion_n to_o send_v forth_o and_o maintain_v her_o navy_n at_o the_o sea_n must_v she_o not_o be_v constrain_v either_o at_o the_o first_o set_v

another_o allegation_n or_o argument_n and_o sa_o the_o queen_n majesty_n be_v head_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o commonwealth_n which_o the_o lord_n for_o his_o mercy_n sake_n long_o continue_v the_o common_a

forasmuch_o as_o the_o navy_n be_v one_o of_o the_o principal_a force_n or_o leg_n that_o this_o commonwealth_n stand_v on_o which_o be_v the_o queen_n majesty_n seat_n &_o that_o the_o people_n do_v

they_o remember_v the_o abuse_n which_o in_o time_n past_a have_v be_v use_v in_o the_o observation_n of_o fish_n day_n and_o for_o that_o abuse_n sack_n utter_o contemn_v the_o same_o without_o
