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

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

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

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

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

and_o territory_n this_o part_n of_o the_o first_o principal_a conclusion_n many_o need_v little_a proof_n forasmuch_o as_o one_o acre_n of_o land_n may_v bear_v as_o much_o corn_n and_o feed_v as_o many_o cattle_n as_o twenty_o by_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o soil_n some_o parcel_n of_o ground_n be_v natural_o so_o defensible_a as_o that_o a_o hundred_o man_n be_v possess_v thereof_o can_v

difference_n in_o land_n and_o people_n arise_v principal_o from_o their_o situation_n trade_n and_o policy_n to_o clear_v this_o i_o shall_v compare_v holland_n france_n and_o zealand_n with_o the_o kingdom_n of_o france_n viz._n holland_n and_o zealand_n do_v not_o contain_v above_o one_o million_o of_o english_a acre_n whereas_o the_o kingdom_n of_o france_n contain_v above_o 80._o now_o the_o original_a and_o primitive_a difference_n hold_v proportion_n as_o land_n to_o land_n for_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o say_v that_o when_o these_o place_n be_v first_o plant_v whether_o a_o acre_n in_o
