a_o sufficient_a army_n be_v levy_v a_o royal_a enterprise_n be_v soon_o bring_v to_o perfection_n when_o as_o they_o be_v attempt_v both_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n the_o which_o king_n philip_n may_v do_v with_o great_a advantage_n in_o the_o enterprise_n of_o england_n then_o in_o that_o of_o the_o nertherlands_n for_o as_o the_o voyage_n by_o sea_n be_v short_a and_o more_o easy_a so_o he_o may_v more_o commodious_o invade_v england_n by_o land_n have_v mean_n to_o land_n part_n of_o his_o army_n safe_o in_o scotland_n as_o we_o will_v hereafter_o show_v whereas_o if_o he_o shall_v

and_o dangerous_a the_o second_o reason_n be_v that_o it_o be_v more_o commodious_a near_a and_o more_o safe_a to_o pass_v into_o england_n for_o that_o from_o the_o straight_o of_o gibraltar_n thither_o be_v all_o open_a sea_n without_o any_o let_v but_o to_o go_v into_o the_o low_a country_n he_o must_v of_o necessity_n pass_v by_o england_n the_o which_o by_o all_o reason_n of_o state_n

to_o disturb_v thou_o wherefore_o it_o be_v a_o rash_a enterprise_n to_o attempt_v the_o low_a country_n and_o leave_v england_n behind_o who_o be_v full_a of_o jealousy_n may_v sudden_o set_v upon_o the_o catholic_a king_n army_n in_o the_o hot_a of_o their_o war_n against_o the_o netherlander_n the_o forth_o that_o go_v to_o conquer_v the_o low_a country_n they_o must_v fight_v with_o brave_a old_a soldier_n breed_v up_o in_o the_o war_n ignorance_n see_v here_o his_o error_n and_o ignorance_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o english_a be_v without_o art_n or_o practice_n of_o war_n they_o can_v use_v the_o harguebuse_n nor_o any_o other_o offensive_a arm_n but_o only_a bow_n and_o arrow_n the_o which_o be_v of_o no_o force_n against_o corselet_n and_o head-piece_n as_o we_o

the_o low_a country_n full_a of_o fort_n both_o within_o and_o without_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o the_o enterprise_n of_o that_o be_v more_o easy_a than_o this_o as_o it_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o vanquish_v they_o that_o make_v no_o resistance_n whereof_o the_o low_a country_n be_v a_o familiar_a example_n where_o notwithstanding_o that_o the_o king_n have_v great_a garrison_n yet_o

of_o strength_n be_v to_o a_o invade_a army_n but_o encumber_n after_o they_o be_v win_v for_o that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o army_n be_v draw_v away_o into_o garrison_n whereby_o it_o be_v

the_o rebellious_a humour_n of_o the_o netherlander_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o this_o physic_n will_v rather_o stir_v up_o the_o good_a humour_n then_o evacuat_a the_o bad_a breed_v a_o

to_o bear_v that_o great_a burden_n of_o the_o war_n and_o the_o reward_n which_o they_o expect_v from_o his_o majesty_n but_o they_o will_v fear_v to_o loose_v their_o previledge_n and_o liberty_n in_o regard_n whereof_o they_o have_v make_v cruel_a war_n against_o themselves_o by_o this_o then_o and_o many_o other_o reason_n it_o apeere_v how_o dangerous_a it_o be_v to_o exasperate_v the_o

by_o way_n of_o comparison_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o itself_o how_o much_o it_o do_v import_v the_o catholic_a king_n and_o how_o easy_a it_o be_v for_o he_o to_o invade_v england_n it_o be_v not_o
