They want hearts but have crafty heads BUt though they want hearts yet they have crafty heads dull to apprehend but subtile to execute their covetous craftinesse and crafty covetousnesse do exceed the Lombard Masters though they be Jewes their whole trading is but defrauding you may live 20. years there and yet never see any English Silver or Gold except your selfe changes it and then you may bid it farwell for ever seeing it again their practice in the East and West Indies and in the South Seas is to decry and frustrate any other Nation or Commodities to enhance themselves and their own when Wars was betwixt England and Spain many of our Colliers from Newcastle came short home the Dunkerkers bore the fault but 't is too much suspected the Hollander did the mischiefe witnesse also their planting in our Fens and Marshes and their Herring fishing full of subtilty deceit and covetousnesse like Spunges suck in but part with nothing except squeezed from them the Nation hath been the Horse-Leaches of Europe and are the very Mountebankes to cry up themselves and despise all others Next follows 8. Their Vnjustice and Ingratitude THey should be thankfull at least to them who saved their Country their lives Wives and Children too But to kill them and shoot bullets into their brests is unheard off and unparalleld unjustice this hath been their practice As Vipers eat out their Mothers bowels so do these had England left them or let them lye open they had not had a Sluce to shut up for ere this time their best Town to put into had been Dam or Scichterdam for as for Minichedam they could not have dared to hold it when the Spanyard had the power of their Wives and their lives too they deale with England as the Lawyer did with two men about the Oyster eat out the meat and gave them the shell we may say of their Courtesie as 't is in the Proverb save a Thiefe from the Gallows and hee 'l be the first to help to hang him 9.

Their Prophannesse THey pretend to their Beeden-Dagen their Fast-daies and Sabboath keeping but however they will not forgoe the keeping of their Carmishen that is their drunken Fairs though in Sermon-time upon those very daies when they meet their zeal is more upon their Brand-wine than upon their Doome of Utrecht or their neat Church of Tergo they●l swear Godts Sacramenten and by 10000. Tun of Divelen that Gods word is heele goodt and seer Vraectick yet they must not they say trust onely unto that or alwayes be at prayers in their Cups they neither fear damning nor doubt it if HENRICK VAN DUNNS and CORNELIUS VAN DER DOLTEN and Captain JORIS SUNDER BROECKEN with that extravagant Myn heere Van de Boors Schancen meet as they usually do with the stout Beer of the swaet perdt or black Horse of Rotterdam 't is not four Brigad's of Divels nor four Regiments of Spaniards whom they fear as bad as Divels nor yet a double Jury of their Elders though they shew a Geneva Commission can rouse or remove them then Broders ought Sistern oft Kindern oft Diabolos are all alike for Heaven there is so much holinesse there that they say there 's no hopes nor need of their Company for Hell they know most of their Countrey men live and love to live in such low places and therefore they had rather be there with their acquaintance and Ancestors then to strive to go thither where they doubt both acquaintance and entertainment Let their Preachers say what they will these will do what they list they are hardly got to Church and are glad when t is done for as they go out you shall hear them usually swear and curse 11. Their Time-serving FOr the advancement whereof they have neither wanted opportunity or Machivilian policy they have been such Staten Heeren that if some other States had not been as wise as they have been subtle and knavish we should scarce have known what a clock it had been in England how have they for many years deluded the French Italian Genoways Venetians Wallons Switzers Irish Friezlanders Highlanders nay have suck'd advantages and gull'd even the great Mogull the Turks Persians Indians Tartars Muscovites Russians Prussians Polanders Norwegians Sweeds Danes Germanes Vandelopians North Indians or South-landers Guineans Diabolands Calecutians nay their old enemies the Spaniolos and who sooner Cajold with the Portugals then these flegmatick Dutch who knowes not that though King JAMES of England was
