guard_n upon_o all_o such_o place_n of_o his_o dominion_n as_o lie_v open_a to_o their_o incursion_n lest_o otherwise_o the_o english_a shall_v chance_v to_o seize_v upon_o they_o and_o such_o be_v the_o haven_n corugna_fw-la and_o all_o the_o sea_n coast_n of_o galicia_n leon_n biscay_n and_o all_o the_o kingdom_n that_o lie_v in_o the_o other_o hemisphere_n as_o shall_v be_v show_v hereafter_o but_o this_o he_o must_v make_v his_o chief_a business_n namely_o to_o weaken_v the_o power_n of_o the_o english_a for_o the_o effect_n of_o which_o design_n it_o will_v be_v sufficient_a if_o he_o can_v but_o bring_v it_o about_o that_o the_o hollander_n and_o the_o freezlander_n shall_v with_o their_o fleet_n fall_v upon_o the_o english_a force_n at_o sea_n as_o i_o shall_v by_o and_o by_o make_v it_o plain_o appear_v but_o see_v he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o do_v this_o that_o his_o own_o navy_n be_v very_o often_o damage_v by_o the_o english_a ship_n the_o only_a remedy_n that_o be_v leave_v he_o be_v to_o provide_v himself_o of_o some_o vast_a fleet_n of_o ship_n which_o shall_v lie_v at_o corugna_fw-la and_o lisbon_n that_o when_o ever_o the_o spanish_a fleet_n shall_v return_v from_o the_o indies_n they_o may_v serve_v as_o convoy_n to_o it_o and_o may_v bring_v it_o home_o safe_o or_o else_o they_o may_v be_v send_v forth_o either_o against_o ireland_n or_o england_n and_o so_o may_v divert_v they_o from_o lie_v in_o wait_n for_o and_o infest_v of_o the_o spanish_a navy_n and_o because_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n be_v to_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o sea_n it_o be_v very_o necessary_a that_o he_o build_v himself_o many_o wooden_a city_n that_o be_v to_o say_v great_a navy_n for_o the_o secure_n of_o his_o treasure_n that_o he_o recieve_v out_o of_o the_o new_a world_n it_o will_v also_o be_v a_o very_a good_a course_n for_o he_o to_o hire_v those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o great_a strength_n among_o the_o hollander_n though_o it_o cost_v he_o a_o million_o of_o money_n to_o guard_v such_o fleet_n of_o he_o as_o be_v to_o pass_v to_o and_o fro_o in_o the_o northern_a sea_n and_o to_o deal_v in_o the_o like_a manner_n with_o such_o nation_n as_o be_v better_o skill_v in_o nautical_a affair_n than_o the_o english_a themselves_o be_v as_o namely_o the_o danzioker_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o king_n of_o poland_n who_o be_v ally_v to_o the_o house_n of_o austria_n likewise_o with_o the_o gutlander_n swede_n finlander_n and_o the_o rest_n that_o be_v of_o scandinavia_n denmark_n pomerania_n and_o borussia_n procure_v they_o to_o declare_v against_o the_o english_a and_o either_o to_o set_v upon_o some_o of_o their_o island_n or_o else_o to_o invade_v england_n itself_o that_o so_o they_o may_v divert_v they_o from_o fall_v upon_o the_o spanish_a fleet_n or_o else_o if_o the_o king_n shall_v think_v it_o better_o to_o set_v upon_o the_o english_a navy_n itself_o if_o i_o say_v he_o will_v but_o be_v at_o so_o great_a a_o charge_n as_o to_o hire_v the_o say_a nation_n to_o fall_v upon_o the_o english_a and_o will_v beside_o but_o give_v they_o all_o the_o booty_n that_o they_o shall_v take_v from_o the_o english_a he_o may_v compass_v all_o his_o desire_n and_o beside_o the_o seed_n of_o such_o a_o feud_n once_o sow_o will_v spread_v far_o and_o near_o and_o will_v never_o be_v kill_v and_o choke_v again_o and_o therefore_o i_o

stand_v in_o fear_n of_o no_o other_o nation_n so_o much_o as_o of_o those_o above_o name_v because_o they_o be_v both_o more_o fierce_a and_o more_o populous_a nation_n and_o also_o more_o powerful_a at_o sea_n than_o the_o english_a themselves_o be_v for_o spain_n can_v itself_o make_v any_o considerable_a opposition_n against_o the_o english_a unless_o it_o be_v by_o makig_a use_n of_o some_o such_o artifice_n see_v that_o they_o be_v better_o acquaint_v with_o those_o northern_a sea_n than_o the_o spanish_a be_v and_o then_o england_n be_v a_o island_n who_o inhabitant_n be_v both_o very_a numerous_n and_o they_o be_v also_o a_o diligent_a and_o subtle_a people_n and_o it_o be_v beside_o very_o strong_o fortify_v both_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n and_o withal_o a_o deadly_a enemy_n to_o spain_n partly_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o different_a religion_n and_o partly_o because_o the_o english_a claim_n a_o kind_n of_o right_n to_o that_o crown_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o castilian_a line_n which_o be_v derive_v by_o the_o house_n of_o lancaster_n beside_o diverse_a of_o the_o former_a king_n of_o england_n of_o the_o family_n of_o york_n and_o other_o have_v be_v

themselves_o and_o by_o continual_o keep_v up_o the_o same_o which_o will_v quick_o furnish_v the_o spaniard_n with_o better_a and_o more_o advantageous_a opportunity_n and_o as_o for_o the_o religion_n of_o that_o people_n it_o be_v that_o of_o calvin_n though_o very_o much_o moderate_v and_o not_o so_o rigid_a and_o austere_a as_o it_o be_v at_o geneva_n which_o yet_o can_v so_o easy_o

of_o scotland_n who_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o lie_v so_o near_o to_o each_o other_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n continual_o at_o war_n and_o invade_v one_o another_o territory_n for_o their_o kingdom_n
