that_o of_o the_o netherlands_o i_o will_v prove_v say_v he_o that_o the_o difficulty_n be_v the_o same_o to_o invade_v england_n and_o the_o netherlands_o first_o of_o all_o i_o presuppose_v that_o 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

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 shall_v let_v the_o king_n of_o spain_n understand_v in_o his_o passage_n that_o neither_o friend_n nor_o foe_n be_v welcome_a when_o they_o come_v with_o a_o great_a power_n wherefore_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n that_o whosoever_o will_v muade_v the_o netherlands_o he_o must_v break_v this_o bar_n or_o make_v plain_a this_o mountain_n of_o england_n which_o cross_v he_o in_o his_o passage_n my_o three_o reason_n say_v he_o be_v ground_v upon_o a_o firm_a maximy_n of_o the_o art_n of_o war_n that_o thou_o must_v never_o seek_v to_o invade_v any_o place_n and_o leave_v any_o thing_n behind_o 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 use_v so_o as_o say_v he_o there_o be_v the_o like_a comparison_n to_o be_v make_v betwixt_o the_o english_a and_o the_o dutch_a soldier_n as_o be_v betwixt_o idleness_n and_o exercise_n or_o a_o arm_a and_o disarm_v man_n and_o what_o a_o advantage_n it_o be_v to_o fight_v with_o unskilful_a soldier_n it_o it_o apparent_a by_o the_o example_n of_o miltiades_n in_o the_o field_n of_o

be_v employ_v in_o the_o siege_n of_o a_o town_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n the_o which_o happy_o will_v be_v of_o no_o great_a importance_n but_o that_o they_o will_v stay_v in_o course_n of_o his_o victory_n that_o seek_v the_o win_v they_o but_o contrariwise_o england_n have_v not_o any_o town_n to_o stay_v the_o violence_n a_o victorious_a enemy_n have_v once_o set_v footing_n into_o the_o island_n the_o which_o will_v be_v not_o difficult_a thing_n for_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n to_o effect_v so_o as_o england_n be_v without_o any_o fort_n but_o upon_o the_o frontier_n and_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 much_o weaken_v the_o seven_o reason_n say_v he_o seem_v sufficient_a in_o this_o case_n to_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o my_o opinion_n if_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n send_v a_o army_n to_o purge_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

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
