as_o when_o he_o shall_v think_v fit_a he_o may_v do_v so_o without_o his_o disadvantage_n that_o this_o his_o arm_n at_o sea_n must_v be_v intend_v in_o emulation_n of_o his_o majesty_n lordship_n of_o the_o narrow_a sea_n to_o equal_v overtop_v he_o at_o sea_n be_v probable_a for_o against_o who_o else_o not_o against_o the_o hollander_n they_o be_v his_o obsequious_a friend_n desirous_a of_o his_o friendship_n fearful_a of_o his_o displeasure_n not_o against_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n for_o he_o can_v more_o easy_o invade_v he_o by_o land_n when_o he_o will_v as_o spain_n can_v he_o beside_o the_o french_a king_n show_v no_o disposition_n to_o enter_v into_o open_a war_n with_o he_o for_o have_v take_v on_o he_o the_o protection_n of_o mantua_n and_o not_o well_o deal_v with_o by_o he_o in_o the_o last_o treaty_n for_o italy_n make_v a_o peace_n in_o show_n and_o yet_o after_o take_v his_o advantage_n renew_v the_o war_n in_o the_o emperor_n name_n yet_o do_v he_o not_o

to_o match_v his_o majesty_n at_o sea_n but_o if_o he_o continue_v these_o his_o preparation_n and_o that_o his_o majesty_n out_o of_o hand_n prepare_v not_o also_o against_o it_o he_o will_v in_o

good_a harbour_n as_o his_o majesty_n have_v yet_o some_o he_o have_v not_o inferior_a to_o any_o of_o his_o majesty_n it_o may_v be_v also_o say_v that_o his_o subject_n be_v not_o so_o proper_a for_o the_o sea_n nor_o so_o affect_v to_o trade_n as_o his_o majesty_n be_v it_o be_v true_a but_o if_o he_o continue_v to_o encourage_v his_o merchant_n turn_v merchant_n himself_o will_v not_o his_o prince_n great_a lord_n and_o gentleman_n follow_v his_o example_n for_o sailor_n if_o he_o give_v great_a pay_n and_o pay_v well_o he_o will_v not_o want_v they_o of_o other_o nation_n nay_o if_o his_o majesty_n own_o subject_n have_v not_o the_o like_a great_a and_o good_a payment_n it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v he_o may_v draw_v many_o of_o his_o to_o his_o service_n at_o first_o until_o

as_o the_o hollander_n nay_o the_o
turk_n without_o either_o leave_n or_o knowledge_n of_o his_o majesty_n now_o if_o the_o french_a king_n shall_v come_v to_o be_v as_o powerful_a or_o more_o than_o his_o majesty_n at_o sea_n he_o will_v be_v a_o more_o dangerous_a and_o fearful_a neighbour_n to_o england_n then_o spain_n who_o hitherto_o this_o kingdom_n have_v of_o latter_o year_n only_o have_v cause_n to_o fear_v for_o that_o against_o spain_n the_o low-countries_n will_v ever_o be_v a_o good_a bulwark_n who_o if_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n at_o any_o time_n make_v any_o great_a preparation_n at_o sea_n will_v be_v ever_o jealous_a it_o be_v intend_v against_o they_o and_o so_o ever_o arm_v against_o he_o and_o be_v always_o ready_a to_o join_v with_o and_o to_o assist_v his_o majesty_n against_o spain_n which_o may_v be_v doubt_v they_o will_v not_o so_o ready_o do_v against_o france_n with_o who_o they_o be_v in_o league_n and_o not_o jealous_a off_o beside_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n have_v not_o so_o populous_a a_o country_n as_o he_o can_v easy_o prepare_v either_o a_o great_a fleet_n or_o land_n army_n and_o much_o less_o both_o without_o long_a time_n and_o so_o his_o majesty_n may_v have_v the_o more_o warning_n thereof_o then_o spain_n be_v further_o from_o england_n and_o so_o the_o journey_n be_v the_o long_o and_o from_o thence_o can_v come_v many_o horse_n which_o be_v the_o

foot_n as_o we_o may_v just_o be_v afraid_a of_o for_o old_a soldier_n both_o horse_n and_o foot_n france_n abound_v in_o and_o the_o french_a have_v a_o virtue_n proper_a to_o they_o that_o not_o a_o gentleman_n think_v himself_o any_o thing_n until_o he_o have_v see_v the_o war_n learn_v at_o least_o good_a and_o perfect_a use_n of_o his_o arm_n and_o natural_o they_o be_v all_o good_a horseman_n their_o land_n afford_v horse_n fit_a for_o service_n and_o every_o man_n almost_o know_v to_o use_v pistol_n and_o carabin_n whereas_o in_o england_n unless_o those_o which_o have_v be_v soldier_n

here_o present_v my_o poor_a and_o slender_a advice_n under_o correction_n and_o with_o submission_n to_o better_a judgement_n first_o and_o principal_o i_o will_v advise_v that_o his_o majesty_n will_v arm_v at_o sea_n for_o that_o be_v the_o sure_a defence_n for_o we_o can_v never_o be_v hurt_v by_o a_o foreign_a enemy_n by_o land_n till_o we_o be_v first_o beat_v at_o sea_n and_o therein_o i_o can_v give_v better_o advise_v then_o to_o do_v what_o the_o french_a king_n do_v as_o to_o repair_v and_o increase_v his_o own_o royal_a navy_n which_o be_v the_o great_a and_o best_a assure_a strength_n of_o england_n and_o to_o that_o end_n to_o set_v apart_o some_o certain_a large_a proportion_n of_o his_o revenue_n that_o his_o seaman_n may_v have_v good_a pay_n and_o well_o pay_v and_o if_o there_o be_v good_a and_o strict_a course_n take_v that_o there_o be_v no_o abuse_n in_o the_o muster_n victual_v consumption_n of_o ammunition_n which_o without_o good_a payment_n can_v well_o be_v execute_v his_o majesty_n will_v be_v a_o gainer_n thereby_o in_o matter_n of_o profit_n beside_o the_o reputation_n and_o advantage_n of_o his_o service_n and_o it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o no_o prince_n nor_o state_n but_o have_v better_o give_v 40_o in_o the_o hundred_o for_o money_n to_o pay_v his_o militia_n well_o than_o not_o to_o pay_v well_o then_o to_o encourage_v his_o merchant_n and_o other_o subject_n to_o trade_n and_o in_o make_v new_a plantation_n for_o his_o land-force_n that_o his_o majesty_n will_v take_v order_n that_o the_o number_n of_o train_a man_n be_v increase_v or_o rather_o that_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n from_o 18._o or_o 20._o to_o 35._o or_o 40._o as_o many_o man_n as_o be_v able_a of_o body_n be_v arm_v one_o three_o with_o pike_n and_o armour_n another_o with_o musket_n and_o the_o three_o with_o caliver_n that_o there_o be_v powder_n bullet_n and_o match_n through_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n magazine_n thereof_o in_o suncry_n place_n of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o such_o a_o quantity_n as_o if_o it_o be_v invade_v in_o one_o or_o divers_a part_n there_o be_v no_o want_n of_o ammunition_n in_o any_o place_n for_o it_o will_v be_v then_o too_o late_o to_o fetch_v it_o elsewhere_o and_o much_o worse_o then_o to_o make_v it_o or_o send_v over_o sea_n for_o it_o that_o there_o be_v care_n take_v that_o these_o man_n then_o arm_v may_v be_v well_o exercise_v and_o to_o that_o end_n that_o there_o be_v in_o every_o hundred_o or_o wapentake_n some_o old_a soldier_n sergeant_n or_o other_o inferior_a officer_n have_v out_o of_o the_o low-countries_n well_o choose_v t●at_a may_v teach_v man_n the_o use_n of_o their_o arm_n and_o that_o there_o be_v certain_a day_n set_v and_o appoint_v for_o the_o show_v their_o arm_n and_o exercise_v they_o and_o if_o the_o statute_n which_o be_v former_o for_o sport_v in_o the_o long_a bow_n be_v revive_v or_o convert_v with_o deliberation_n for_o the_o musket_n and_o caliver_n to_o

think_v it_o be_v much_o for_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o kingdom_n then_o that_o there_o be_v good_a choice_n make_v of_o the_o mustermaster_n none_o to_o be_v but_o such_o as_o have_v bear_v

land_n by_o a_o foreign_a enemy_n unless_o we_o be_v first_o beat_v at_o sea_n i_o think_v it_o not_o amiss_o to_o annex_v it_o to_o this_o of_o my_o brother_n and_o by_o that_o occasion_n read_v the_o whole_a discourse_n from_o which_o i_o have_v it_o i_o find_v in_o it_o beside_o what_o concern_v this_o point_n which_o be_v direction_n for_o the_o secure_n of_o this_o kingdom_n some_o such_o worthy_a expression_n which_o as_o they_o do_v much_o affect_v i_o in_o the_o read_n so_o i_o conceive_v they_o may_v be_v of_o some_o use_n also_o for_o these_o time_n as_o some_o for_o imitation_n other_o for_o other_o purpose_n i_o think_v it_o not_o amiss_o to_o revive_v and_o bring_v they_o again_o to_o light_v some_o thing_n be_v speak_v by_o that_o brave_a lord_n of_o himself_o some_o other_o be_v relate_v by_o he_o of_o those_o ancient_a and_o renown_a roman_n where_o we_o may_v see_v a_o braveness_n of_o spirit_n even_o in_o those_o that_o be_v but_o heathen_a now_o if_o there_o be_v such_o brave_a spirit_n in_o they_o that_o have_v nothing_o but_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n to_o direct_v they_o what_o shall_v be_v then_o in_o christian_n that_o have_v a_o sun_n to_o their_o candle_n shall_v they_o come_v short_a of_o they_o in_o love_n and_o affection_n to_o their_o country_n will_v it_o not_o one_o day_n rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o we_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v of_o tirus_n and_o sidon_n that_o have_v such_o principle_n and_o such_o encouragement_n of_o reward_n above_o they_o they_o have_v but_o honour_n and_o reputation_n i_o may_v say_v a_o vain_a and_o windy_a motive_n we_o have_v the_o command_n of_o god_n and_o a_o heavenly_a reward_n promise_v even_o a_o kingdom_n and_o that_o everlasting_a and_o shall_v we_o come_v so_o short_a of_o they_o as_o not_o to_o venture_v anything_o for_o god_n his_o gospel_n and_o our_o religion_n do_v a_o roman_a say_v he_o care_v not_o to_o leave_v to_o bury_v he_o so_o the_o commonwealth_n may_v flourish_v what_o shall_v a_o christian_a do_v for_o his_o country_n shall_v he_o not_o lay_v aside_o all_o private_a respect_n of_o his_o own_o and_o only_o seek_v god_n honour_n in_o his_o care_n of_o the_o

that_o still_o retain_v that_o ancient_a virtue_n in_o they_o and_o do_v even_o at_o this_o time_n practise_v it_o to_o such_o i_o will_v say_v go_v one_o noble_a lord_n and_o gentleman_n do_v

the_o lord_n either_o convert_v they_o or_o sudden_o confound_v they_o in_o this_o ensue_a relation_n i_o shall_v only_o use_v that_o honourable_a lord_n own_o word_n i_o leave_v their_o application_n to_o all_o true-hearted_a englishman_n the_o head_n be_v these_o first_o his_o advice_n for_o sea_n preparation_n which_o be_v not_o as_o i_o conceive_v unuseful_a for_o this_o present_a time_n

to_o the_o general_a good_a of_o this_o commonwealth_n first_o for_o his_o advice_n for_o sea-preparation_n it_o be_v this_o that_o if_o her_o majesty_n will_v be_v please_v but_o to_o raise_v up_o a_o sum_n of_o a_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o thousand_o pound_n a_o year_n and_o put_v it_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o honest_a and_o sufficient_a treasurer_n for_o the_o war_n and_o to_o be_v issue_v

and_o decay_v of_o his_o estate_n he_o have_v seek_v to_o purchase_v and_o when_o he_o be_v offer_v by_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n what_o tittle_n sum_n of_o money_n or_o pension_n he_o will_v desire_v so_o as_o he_o may_v be_v win_v to_o take_v their_o part_n he_o do_v profess_v that_o if_o god_n have_v not_o put_v he_o back_o and_o arrest_v he_o by_o contrary_a wind_n and_o tempest_n that_o summer_n he_o will_v have_v teach_v that_o proud_a king_n what_o effect_n his_o proffer_n have_v wrought_v in_o he_o and_o the_o long_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o his_o sovereign_n do_v restrain_v he_o with_o the_o great_a interest_n to_o hope_v to_o pay_v he_o in_o the_o end_n that_o have_v seek_v he_o out_o as_o a_o fit_a man_n to_o betray_v his_o queen_n and_o country_n three_o for_o his_o respect_n to_o soldier_n and_o man_n of_o war_n he_o profess_v he_o do_v entire_o love_v they_o first_o for_o his_o own_o sake_n for_o he_o find_v sweetness_n in_o their_o conversation_n strong_a assistance_n in_o their_o employment_n with_o he_o and_o happiness_n in_o their_o friendship_n that_o he_o love_v they_o for_o their_o virtue_n sake_n and_o for_o their_o greatness_n of_o mind_n for_o little_a mind_n though_o never_o so_o full_a of_o virtue_n can_v be_v but_o little_a virtuous_a and_o for_o their_o great_a understanding_n for_o to_o understand_v little_a thing_n or_o

for_o they_o be_v england_n best_a armour_n of_o defence_n and_o weapon_n of_o offence_n if_o we_o have_v peace_n they_o have_v purchase_v it_o if_o we_o shall_v have_v war_n they_o must_v manage_v
