both_o lose_v our_o capital_a &_o benefit_n all_o together_o in_o trust_v to_o the_o venture_n of_o the_o sea_n i_o believe_v the_o last_o well_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v lose_v both_o capital_a

the_o west_n indies_n will_v far_o surpass_v other_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v plant_v some_o colony_n there_o as_o we_o hope_v we_o shall_v and_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o many_o thousand_o indian_n will_v join_v with_o we_o and_o deliver_v the_o hill_n of_o potosy_n and_o other_o place_n where_o the_o mine_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n be_v unto_o we_o yet_o if_o this_o at_o the_o

wherewith_o those_o country_n above_o all_o other_o be_v rich_o furnish_v as_o we_o at_o large_a have_v already_o show_v this_o be_v that_o which_o i_o think_v good_a to_o write_v for_o a_o answer_n unto_o your_o question_n aforesaid_a and_o other_o doubt_n by_o you_o make_v nothing_o doubt_v but_o that_o all_o good_a patriot_n that_o desire_n the_o good_a benefit_n and_o prosperity_n of_o our_o native_a country_n will_v not_o at_o any_o time_n take_v on_o they_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n to_o speak_v or_o give_v counsel_n to_o leave_v off_o the_o east_n and_o west_n indian_a trade_n that_o we_o may_v hold_v and_o enjoy_v a_o uncertain_a spanish_a trade_n not_o that_o we_o do_v not_o in_o any_o sort_n long_o and_o wish_v after_o a_o godly_a upright_o general_a and_o continual_a peace_n but_o because_o we_o desire_v not_o under_o the_o show_n thereof_o to_o be_v deceive_v always_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o say_v indian_a trade_n for_o two_o reason_n be_v special_o think_v convenient_a the_o first_o that_o the_o free_a netherlands_o confider_v their_o cituation_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o live_v use_v by_o the_o inhabitant_n thereof_o can_v continue_v in_o their_o flourish_a state_n and_o welfare_n wherein_o notwithstanding_o the_o war_n they_o now_o be_v if_o their_o ship_n rich_a haven_n and_o seafaring_a man_n and_o rich_a merchant_n town_n have_v not_o free_a trade_n and_o traffic_v at_o sea_n the_o second_o consider_v the_o king_n of_o spain_n might_n and_o riches_n in_o all_o respect_n the_o netherlands_n province_n must_v be_v persuade_v that_o there_o be_v no_o better_a mean_n in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v find_v whereby_o to_o be_v release_v of_o that_o continual_a fear_n then_o to_o undermine_v the_o foundation_n of_o his_o great_a riches_n to_o bereave_v he_o of_o a_o good_a deal_n of_o his_o east_n and_o west_n indian_a trade_n in_o such_o manner_n that_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o fire_n in_o the_o east_n and_o west_n indies_n so_o kindle_v the_o spaniard_n shall_v in_o such_o manner_n decline_v that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v warm_v itself_o by_o that_o fire_n for_o that_o the_o merchant_n thereby_o upon_o the_o eclipse_n of_o the_o spanish_a trade_n will_v disburse_v no_o money_n before_o hand_n and_o although_o the_o first_o necessity_n of_o the_o traffic_n beyond_o sea_n may_v be_v some_o be_v contradict_v and_o answer_v in_o this_o manner_n that_o it_o follow_v not_o thereupon_o that_o we_o must_v of_o force_n traffic_n into_o india_n but_o rather_o if_o we_o have_v peace_n we_o may_v again_o have_v and_o use_v our_o old_a trade_n into_o spain_n whereunto_o although_o before_o i_o make_v answer_v to_o the_o same_o yet_o for_o some_o pregnant_a reason_n i_o will_v again_o repeat_v they_o that_o it_o may_v the_o better_o be_v understand_v and_o brief_o say_v first_o that_o the_o spanish_a trade_n can_v not_o be_v assure_v unto_o we_o for_o that_o the_o spaniard_n by_o a_o hundred_o way_n will_v find_v mean_n whereunto_o they_o will_v not_o want_v pretence_n to_o make_v it_o unprofitable_a for_o we_o as_o by_o his_o imposition_n toll_n and_o proclamation_n as_o of_o late_a year_n it_o appear_v second_o it_o be_v altogether_o dangerous_a for_o that_o if_o the_o enemy_n have_v any_o great_a enterprise_n in_o hand_n by_o that_o mean_n we_o have_v put_v ourselves_o into_o the_o hand_n and_o power_n of_o our_o reconcile_a enemy_n he_o may_v not_o only_o have_v many_o hundred_o thousand_o mean_n to_o hinder_v we_o but_o aid_v himself_o by_o our_o ship_n ordinance_n and_o sailor_n in_o great_a number_n to_o our_o great_a detriment_n which_o spanish_a trade_n also_o notwithstanding_o in_o time_n of_o war_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o english_a and_o frenchmen_n we_o have_v use_v with_o indifferent_a good_a gain_n therefore_o it_o be_v altogether_o to_o be_v dislike_v and_o not_o convenient_a for_o we_o upon_o such_o term_n to_o treat_v with_o the_o spaniard_n but_o now_o my_o lord_n the_o state_n general_a upon_o premeditate_a ripe_a deliberation_n and_o good_a advice_n without_o doubt_n by_o the_o good_a providence_n of_o god_n have_v general_o grant_v the_o west_n indian_a trade_n to_o go_v forward_o and_o have_v endow_v the_o same_o with_o notable_a privilege_n whereunto_o many_o good_a patriot_n according_a to_o their_o mean_n have_v willing_o begin_v to_o contribute_v the_o spaniard_n will_v not_o cease_v to_o use_v a_o thousand_o practice_n to_o frustrate_v and_o make_v void_a the_o say_a state_n good_a resolution_n either_o by_o some_o merchant_n or_o other_o favourite_n who_o they_o will_v seek_v to_o stroke_n with_o the_o golden_a staff_n of_o peru_n yet_o with_o those_o that_o be_v good_a and_o honest_a
