seaman_n be_v such_o as_o have_v another_o trade_n beside_o wherewith_o to_o maintain_v themselves_o when_o they_o be_v not_o employ_v at_o sea_n and_o the_o charge_n of_o maintain_v they_o though_o

and_o pay_v to_o themselves_o as_o we_o propound_v that_o ireland_n scotland_n shall_v be_v tax_v with_o flax_n and_o england_n by_o linen_n and_o other_o manufacture_n of_o the_o same_o i_o conceive_v that_o scotland_n also_o may_v be_v tax_v as_o much_o to_o be_v pay_v in_o herring_n as_o ireland_n in_o flax_n now_o the_o three_o tax_n viz._n of_o flax_n linen_n and_o herring_n and_o

service_n wherefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v examine_v 1._o whether_o the_o king_n of_o france_n have_v port_n in_o the_o northern_a sea_n where_o he_o have_v most_o occasion_n for_o his_o fleet_n of_o

will_v bring_v to_o sea_n a_o equal_a number_n of_o fight_a man_n with_o the_o english_a and_o hollander_n in_o small_a floaty_n leeward_n vessel_n he_o will_v certain_o be_v of_o the_o weak_a side_n for_o a_o vessel_n of_o one_o thousand_o tun_n man_v with_o five_o hundred_o man_n fight_v with_o five_o vessel_n of_o two_o hundred_o tun_n each_o man_v with_o one_o hundred_o man_n apiece_o shall_v in_o common_a reason_n have_v the_o better_a offensive_o and_o defensive_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o great_a ship_n can_v carry_v such_o ordnance_n as_o can_v reach_v the_o small_a one_o at_o a_o far_o great_a distance_n than_o those_o can_v reach_v or_o at_o least_o hurt_v the_o other_o and_o can_v batter_v and_o sink_v at_o a_o distance_n when_o small_a one_o can_v scarce_o pierce_v moreover_o it_o be_v more_o difficult_a for_o man_n out_o of_o a_o small_a vessel_n to_o enter_v a_o tall_a ship_n then_o for_o man_n from_o a_o high_a place_n to_o leap_v down_o into_o a_o low_a nor_o be_v small_a shot_n so_o effectual_a upon_o a_o tall_a ship_n as_o vice_n versa_fw-la and_o as_o for_o vessel_n draw_v much_o water_n and_o consequent_o keep_v a_o good_a wind_n they_o can_v take_v or_o leave_v leeward_n vessel_n at_o pleasure_n and_o secure_v themselves_o from_o be_v board_v by_o they_o moreover_o the_o windward_n ship_n have_v a_o fair_a mark_n at_o a_o leeward_n ship_n than_o vice_n versa_fw-la and_o can_v place_v her_o shot_n upon_o such_o part_n of_o the_o leeward_n vessel_n as_o upon_o the_o next_o tack_v will_v be_v under_o water_n now_o than_o the_o king_n of_o france_n have_v no_o port_n able_a to_o receive_v large_a windward_n vessel_n between_o dunkirk_n and_o ushant_n what_o other_o ship_n he_o can_v bring_v into_o those_o sea_n will_v not_o be_v considerable_a as_o for_o the_o wide_a ocean_n which_o his_o harbour_n of_o breast_n and_o charente_n do_v look_v into_o it_o afford_v he_o no_o advantage_n upon_o a_o enemy_n there_o be_v so_o great_a a_o latitude_n of_o engage_v or_o not_o even_o when_o the_o party_n be_v in_o sight_n of_o each_o other_o wherefore_o although_o the_o king_n of_o france_n be_v immense_o rich_a and_o can_v build_v what_o ship_n he_o please_v both_o for_o number_n and_o quality_n yet_o if_o he_o have_v not_o port_n to_o receive_v and_o shelter_n that_o sort_n and_o size_n of_o ship_n which_o be_v fit_a for_o his_o purpose_n the_o say_v riches_n will_v in_o this_o case_n be_v fruitless_a and_o a_o mere_a expense_n without_o any_o return_n or_o profit_n some_o will_v say_v that_o other_o nation_n can_v build_v so_o good_a ship_n as_o the_o english_a i_o do_v indeed_o hope_v they_o can_v but_o because_o it_o seem_v too_o possible_a that_o they_o may_v soon_o or_o late_a by_o practice_n and_o experience_n i_o shall_v not_o make_v use_n of_o that_o argument_n have_v bind_v myself_o to_o show_v that_o the_o impediment_n of_o france_n as_o to_o this_o purpose_n be_v natural_a and_o perpetual_a ship_n and_o gun_n do_v not_o fight_v of_o themselves_o but_o man_n who_o act_n and_o manage_v they_o wherefore_o it_o be_v more_o material_a to_o show_v that_o the_o king_n of_o france_n neither_o have_v nor_o can_v have_v man_n sufficient_a to_o man_n a_o fleet_n of_o equal_a strength_n to_o that_o of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n viz._n the_o king_n of_o england_n navy_n consist_v defence_n of_o about_o seventy_o thousand_o tun_n of_o ship_n which_o require_v thirty_o six_o thousand_o man_n to_o man_n it_o these_o man_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v divide_v into_o eight_o part_n i_o conceive_v that_o one_o eight_o part_n must_v be_v person_n of_o great_a experience_n and_o reputation_n in_o sea_n service_n another_o eight_o part_n must_v be_v such_o as_o have_v use_v the_o sea_n seven_o year_n and_o upward_o half_o of_o they_o or_o 4_o 8_o part_n more_o must_v be_v such_o as_o have_v use_v the_o sea_n above_o a_o twelvemonth_n viz._n two_o three_o four_o five_o or_o six_o year_n allow_v but_o one_o quarter_n of_o the_o whole_a compliment_n to_o be_v such_o as_o never_o be_v at_o sea_n at_o all_o or_o at_o most_o but_o one_o voyage_n or_o upon_o one_o expedition_n so_o that_o at_o a_o medium_n i_o reckon_v that_o the_o whole_a fleet_n must_v be_v man_n of_o three_o or_o four_o year_n growth_n one_o with_o another_o fournier_n a_o late_a judicious_a writer_n make_v france_n it_o his_o business_n to_o persuade_v the_o world_n how_o considerable_a the_o king_n of_o france_n be_v or_o may_v be_v at_o sea_n in_o the_o ninety_o second_o and_o ninety_o three_o page_n of_o his_o hydrography_n say_v that_o there_o be_v one_o place_n in_o brittany_n which_o have_v furnish_v the_o king_n with_o one_o thousand_o four_o hundred_o seaman_n and_o that_o perhaps_o the_o whole_a sea-coast_n of_o france_n may_v have_v furnish_v he_o with_o fifteen_o time_n as_o many_o now_o suppose_v his_o whole_a allegation_n be_v true_a yet_o the_o say_a number_n amount_v but_o to_o twenty_o one_o thousand_o all_o which_o if_o the_o whole_a trade_n of_o ship_n in_o france_n be_v quite_o and_o clean_o abandon_v will_v not_o by_o above_o a_o three_o man_n out_o a_o fleet_n equivalent_a to_o that_o of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n and_o if_o the_o trade_n be_v but_o bare_o keep_v alive_a there_o will_v not_o be_v one_o three_o par●_n man_n enough_o to_o man_n the_o say_v

fish_n trade_n to_o the_o bank_n of_o newfoundland_n be_v not_o peculiar_a nor_o fix_v to_o the_o french_a then_o i_o say_v that_o if_o the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v power_n to_o press_n man_n can_v under_o two_o or_o three_o month_n time_n man_n his_o fleet_n then_o the_o king_n of_o france_n with_o less_o than_o a_o quarter_n of_o the_o same_o help_n can_v never_o do_v it_o at_o all_o

and_o when_o they_o have_v no_o occasion_n to_o depend_v upon_o the_o wind_n wether_n and_o all_o the_o accident_n of_o the_o sea_n a_o second_o impediment_n to_o the_o greatness_n etc._n of_o

the_o honour_n and_o benefit_n of_o england_n the_o three_o impediment_n be_v that_o ireland_n transplantation_n be_v a_o conquer_a country_n and_o contain_v not_o the_o ten_o part_n as_o many_o
