only_o by_o the_o small_a mean_n of_o few_o person_n undertake_v and_o be_v now_o grow_v so_o rich_a and_o strong_a certain_o the_o voyage_n be_v not_o so_o great_a but_o half_o so_o big_a only_o as_o that_o of_o the_o east_n indies_n the_o coast_n be_v not_o unknown_a to_o our_o mariner_n for_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o traffic_n which_o some_o particular_a person_n have_v use_v in_o diverse_a part_n and_o place_n thereabouts_o they_o be_v as_o skilful_a and_o as_o well_o acquaint_v with_o they_o as_o with_o any_o other_o in_o the_o world_n yea_o they_o be_v as_o skilful_a of_o those_o part_n as_o they_o be_v of_o our_o own_o coast_n can_v particular_a person_n traffic_v and_o trade_n thither_o in_o former_a time_n what_o shall_v be_v the_o reason_n i_o wonder_v why_o a_o settle_a company_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o the_o traffic_n of_o guinea_n puncto_fw-la del_fw-it rey_n and_o diverse_a other_o place_n be_v already_o in_o daily_a use_n and_o practice_n i_o pray_v you_o what_o may_v hinder_v we_o not_o only_o to_o continue_v they_o but_o also_o to_o increase_v they_o with_o the_o traffic_n upon_o many_o other_o place_n which_o lie_v at_o large_a about_o they_o shall_v we_o want_v ship_n where_o be_v there_o a_o country_n vader_fw-mi the_o sun_n that_o be_v rich_a in_o ship_v then_o this_o land_n or_o in_o which_o there_o may_v yet_o daily_o so_o many_o lusty_a and_o strong_a ship_n be_v build_v in_o less_o time_n and_o with_o lesser_a charge_n shall_v we_o be_v destitute_a of_o mariner_n we_o have_v already_o far_o more_o of_o they_o then_o we_o know_v how_o to_o employ_v so_o that_o this_o point_n be_v one_o of_o the_o chief_a reason_n which_o may_v and_o indeed_o aught_o to_o move_v we_o to_o the_o advancement_n and_o further_a of_o this_o company_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o they_o may_v have_v employment_n and_o not_o be_v idle_a but_o some_o miserable_a hollander_n which_o will_v fain_o lay_v their_o thumb_n upon_o all_o that_o they_o have_v shall_v be_v afraid_a for_o loss_n at_o sea_n and_o will_v therefore_o rather_o buy_v and_o purchase_v land_n rent_n and_o lease_n in_o these_o country_n o_o poor_a foolish_a man_n who_o look_v only_o unto_o the_o hen_n egg_n as_o the_o proverb_n be_v and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n lose_v the_o goose_n nest_n have_v you_o then_o all_o get_v when_o you_o peserue_v your_o own_o particular_a good_n and_o so_o suffer_v the_o commonwealth_n to_o receive_v damage_n and_o loss_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n but_o if_o do_v well_o consider_v even_o your_o own_o particular_a good_a be_v thereby_o not_o your_o money_n in_o danger_n which_o you_o have_v bestow_v on_o land_n and_o rent_n in_o these_o unite_a province_n do_v there_o not_o daily_o happen_v bankrupt_n and_o

in_o such_o manner_n and_o place_n that_o it_o may_v yield_v both_o particular_a and_o general_a profit_n but_o some_o shall_v perhaps_o say_v the_o danger_n be_v too_o great_a in_o this_o traffic_n for_o there_o be_v both_o peril_n at_o sea_n and_o of_o a_o mighty_a potentate_n the_o king_n of_o spain_n his_o power_n be_v not_o unknown_a unto_o we_o his_o riches_n which_o he_o get_v out_o of_o the_o west_n indies_n be_v almost_o unualuable_a and_o he_o shall_v employ_v they_o to_o his_o uttermost_a power_n to_o keep_v we_o out_o of_o the_o west_n indies_n for_o this_o be_v the_o best_a pearl_n which_o he_o have_v on_o his_o crown_n and_o his_o only_a mean_n and_o pillar_n which_o uphold_v he_o in_o his_o chair_n he_o will_v use_v all_o mean_n he_o can_v to_o bereave_v we_o of_o the_o trade_n which_o we_o have_v through_o the_o straight_a of_o gibraltar_n in_o italy_n where_o he_o have_v no_o command_n what_o shall_v he_o then_o do_v in_o this_o case_n certain_o this_o be_v a_o point_n of_o great_a consideration_n but_o it_o will_v both_o the_o difficulty_n and_o the_o necessity_n set_v before_o our_o eye_n for_o if_o the_o west_n indies_n be_v so_o dear_a unto_o he_o that_o will_v venture_v all_o that_o he_o have_v before_o he_o will_v lose_v it_o we_o have_v the_o more_o reason_n to_o venture_v for_o they_o a_o blue_a eye_n and_o if_o we_o become_v master_n of_o all_o or_o of_o some_o part_n as_o we_o be_v now_o in_o the_o east_n indies_n we_o shall_v shorten_v his_o wing_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o easy_o trouble_v we_o nor_o our_o good_a friend_n so_o much_o as_o he_o have_v do_v moreover_o i_o say_v that_o the_o danger_n be_v not_o so_o great_a that_o it_o ought_v to_o discourage_v we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o conceive_v that_o these_o voyage_n will_v not_o be_v make_v with_o good_a success_n look_v upon_o the_o former_a time_n and_o you_o shall_v perceive_v that_o our_o honest_a predecessor_n have_v not_o only_o resist_v the_o power_n of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n in_o these_o country_n but_o have_v likewise_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o wage_v battle_n with_o he_o when_o he_o be_v more_o powerful_a than_o he_o be_v now_o and_o have_v be_v the_o occasion_n that_o we_o live_v now_o in_o liberty_n and_o enjoy_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o labour_n but_o consider_v once_o if_o we_o may_v not_o right_o be_v blame_v if_o we_o live_v now_o at_o ease_n shall_v loose_v that_o which_o they_o have_v get_v with_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o own_o blood_n and_o by_o the_o death_n of_o so_o many_o brave_a soldier_n which_o be_v send_v to_o aid_v they_o by_o several_a prince_n and_o state_n of_o europe_n but_o especial_o by_o her_o majesty_n of_o england_n of_o happy_a memory_n and_o that_o only_a through_o a_o base_a fear_n imprudencie_n covetousness_n or_o through_o any_o other_o ill_a passion_n if_o our_o ancestor_n have_v have_v such_o heavy_a head_n in_o what_o case_n shall_v we_o now_o be_v where_o be_v our_o liberty_n and_o welfare_n the_o enemy_n have_v now_o so_o many_o year_n make_v a_o heavy_a war_n upon_o these_o land_n but_o they_o with_o their_o power_n and_o the_o aid_n of_o their_o confederate_n reresisted_a he_o brave_o through_o the_o favour_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o almighty_a these_o two_o last_o year_n have_v the_o enemy_n set_v very_o fierce_o upon_o these_o unite_a province_n but_o what_o have_v he_o get_v in_o a_o manner_n to_o speak_v but_o damage_n and_o shame_n can_v we_o do_v so_o much_o by_o land_n we_o may_v do_v much_o more_o by_o water_n this_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o sea_n fight_v which_o be_v in_o the_o strait_a of_o gibaltar_n betwixt_o our_o fleet_n that_o be_v command_v by_o the_o valiant_a admiral_n heemskerke_n and_o the_o spanish_a navy_n which_o try_v there_o what_o the_o mariner_n of_o holland_n can_v do_v i_o will_v not_o boast_v idle_o know_v that_o all_o thing_n happen_v according_a to_o god_n blessing_n but_o i_o speak_v only_o in_o manner_n of_o discourse_n according_a to_o nature_n to_o show_v what_o mean_v the_o almighty_a have_v grant_v we_o for_o our_o defence_n we_o have_v ship_n enough_o and_o we_o want_v neither_o mariner_n soldier_n munition_n and_o victual_n but_o you_o will_v say_v we_o want_v money_n this_o be_v the_o main_a point_n i_o intend_v to_o speak_v of_o and_o will_v show_v that_o this_o shall_v neither_o want_n if_o every_o one_o will_v do_v his_o best_a to_o bring_v a_o good_a capital_a or_o stock_n in_o the_o company_n and_o therefore_o let_v every_o one_o go_v on_o with_o a_o good_a resolution_n and_o he_o shall_v find_v this_o matter_n easy_o to_o be_v perform_v but_o some_o shall_v perhaps_o reply_v there_o be_v daily_o so_o much_o to_o be_v give_v to_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o war_n
