Spaniardes and 2000. horsemen so that if these two Armies might haue ioyned togeather that it should haue béene the greatest number of naturall Spanyards that euer came out of Spayne with any King or without and where more men of great quality were Saith that they could not come to fight with the English fléete because their ships were light easie to turne and could turne about foure or fiue times before theyrs once but if that they might haue come together that they were sure of the victorie because their shippes are very high and the English very lowe and that one Spanyshe shyp was able to spoyle foure or fiue English ships and that their shyps are one English Elle thicke of Tymber so that no great bollet coulde goe through except it had béene shot off very neere That of all the yron bollets that were shotte vpon his ship there were not twentie that were gone through That the vpper part of his ship was strong enough against a Muskets shot Saith that they were determined to iuuade the whole Kingdome of Englande to kéepe the Queenes grace in pryson and to serue her as a Quéene ought to be serued vntill their King shoulde haue appointed any other waie with her and that this was but as he did thinke Saith that they were assured hauing 50000. men on land to bring that Kingdome very easily vnder their subiection because that the English nation is vsed to liue verie delicatly hauing likewise no experience of war that therfore they shold easily haue brought them vnder their feete with their continual trauels troubles the which they had not béene able to endure as their Spanish nation would haue doone the which is vsed to suffer hunger thirst hardly to lie not to sléepe and yet neuerthelesse alwaies ready to their worke That they had vnderstanding that there were many Catholiques in England but that they made no account of them because they knewe very well that the Quéene had so prouided therein that they were not able to stir neither to come to their helpe and that likewise the most part of thē would haue fought for their natiue Countrey Being asked what they had determined to doo if so bee that y e Duke of Parma could not come to their helpe saith that they neuer thought that y e said Duke hauing a hundred ships so great a number of boates and Lighters and an Armie of about forty thousand men shold not alwaies haue come out at his owne pleasure and that he thought it very strange that the said Duke hauing such a power was not come forth Or at least to haue set forth so many of his boates and Musketters that they might haue kept his enemies so busie that in the meane time his shyps of warre might haue come forth Being asked if they had no intelligence in anie other place or Hauen of the Lowe Countries or of their neighbour Townes Saith that therof was not once spoken among them and that their intention deliberation was neuer otherwise then to land in Englande Saith that these two Armies so to water as to lande did stand the King euery day in thirty thousand duckets Being asked if there might not be made a good peace betweene Spayne and England he sayth no or very hardly except it were vpon such condition that the King might so bridle the Queene of England that she shoulde stirre no more therafter and that so it were better as he thought to haue a sure peace then that the King should continuallie keepe such an Armie for to kéepe frée the passage of the Indies as hee hath prepared nowe for to subdue and to ouercome the whole Kingdome of England Asking him if theyr deliberation was not that after that they had beene the Maisters of Englande that then they would haue come to subdue these Countries by force of Armes Saith that thereof was not anie remembring or speaking Saith that the occasions which made the King to vndertake these wars were that it was not conuenient vnto vnto the King to suffer and forbeare that one Drake with two or three rotten Ships shoulde come alwayes and at his pleasure to spoyle the Hauens of Spayne and to robbe the best Townes thereof and so to hinder the negotiation of the Indies And that he did thinke with lesser charge to subdue and to inuade England then yéerelie to entertaine such an Armie as this to defende himselfe of such inuasions and that if so bee that this Fléete doth not spéede at this time vpon England that the King doth intende to sende the same there againe against next Lent Béeing asked if he knew not what the Duke of Parma woulde doo now when he did sée that this Armie and his could not ioyne together Saith that hee will kéepe his men close together in good Garisons and that he will not be so bolde to separate them in any wise neither to vndertake with them any other enterprise saying he knoweth that the King is resolued to continue and to pursue this warre vpon England FINIS Examined in the presence of my Lordes The President Vander Mylen President of the Prouinciall Counsell of Holland D.
