A11786	An Experimentall discoverie of Spanish practises, or, The Counsell of a well-wishing souldier, for the good of his prince and state wherein is manifested from known experience, both the cruelty, and policy of the Spaniard, to effect his own ends : chiefly swelling with multiplicity of glorious titles, as one of the greatest monarchs of the earth, that being admired of all, his greatnesse might amaze all, and so by degrees seeking covertly to tyrannize over all, when as indeed and truth, the greatest part of his pretended greatnesse is but a windy crack of an ambitious minde.

your_o majesty_n if_o you_o will_v but_o invade_v it_o with_o the_o provision_n which_o be_v easy_a for_o you_o to_o compass_v and_o such_o as_o the_o enterprise_n and_o importance_n of_o the_o action_n require_v the_o which_o i_o will_v clear_o show_v for_o diverse_a respect_n the_o first_o be_v because_o as_o i_o have_v say_v the_o i_o will_v of_o england_n be_v poor_a and_o therefore_o be_v her_o debility_n such_o as_o if_o she_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o manage_v a_o defensive_a be_v against_o so_o mighty_a and_o potent_a as_o your_o catholic_a majesty_n she_o may_v as_o well_o

state_n of_o england_n have_v no_o more_o in_o readiness_n such_o number_n of_o ship_n as_o be_v sometime_o maintain_v for_o the_o protection_n and_o security_n of_o their_o kingdom_n the_o three_o be_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n by_o carelessness_n neglect_v or_o by_o poverty_n omit_v to_o have_v always_o in_o readiness_n prepare_v or_o practise_v man_n arm_n or_o provision_n as_o all_o other_o prince_n have_v to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v a_o present_a remedy_n to_o all_o sudden_a insurrection_n which_o grow_v either_o at_o home_n or_o abroad_o the_o four_o be_v because_o
