quam_fw-la loquor_fw-la here_o i_o will_v pass_v over_o from_o matter_n of_o experience_n be_v it_o not_o that_o i_o hold_v it_o necessary_a to_o discover_v a_o wonderful_a erroneous_a observation_n that_o walk_v about_o and_o be_v common_o receive_v contrary_a to_o all_o the_o account_n of_o time_n and_o experience_n it_o be_v that_o the_o spaniard_n where_o he_o once_o get_v in_o will_v seldom_o or_o never_o be_v get_v out_o again_o but_o nothing_o be_v less_o true_a than_o this_o not_o long_o since_o they_o get_v foot_v at_o breast_n and_o some_o other_o part_n in_o french_a britain_n and_o after_o quit_v they_o they_o have_v calais_n ardes_fw-la and_o amiens_n and_o render_v they_o or_o be_v beat_v out_o they_o have_v since_o verseilles_n &_o fair_o leave_v it_o they_o have_v the_o other_o day_n the_o valtoline_n and_o now_o have_v put_v it_o in_o deposit_v what_o they_o will_v do_v with_o ormus_n which_o the_o persian_a have_v take_v from_o they_o we_o shall_v see_v so_o that_o to_o speak_v true_o of_o late_a time_n they_o have_v rather_o poch_v and_o offer_v at_o a_o number_n of_o erterprise_n than_o maintain_v any_o constant_o quite_o contrary_a to_o that_o idle_a tradition_n in_o more_o ancient_a time_n leave_v their_o purchase_n in_o africa_n which_o they_o after_o abandon_v when_o their_o great_a emperor_n charles_n have_v clasp_v germany_n almost_o in_o his_o fist_n he_o be_v force_v in_o the_o end_n to_o go_v from_o isburg_n and_o as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v in_o a_o masque_n by_o torchlight_n and_o to_o quit_v every_o foot_n in_o germany_n round_a that_o he_o have_v get_v which_o i_o doubt_v not_o will_v be_v the_o hereditary_a issue_n of_o this_o late_a purchase_n of_o the_o palatinate_n and_o so_o i_o conclude_v the_o ground_n that_o i_o have_v to_o think_v that_o spain_n will_v be_v no_o over-match_n to_o great_a britain_n if_o his_o majesty_n shall_v enter_v into_o a_o war_n out_o of_o experience_n &_o record_n of_o time_n for_o ground_n of_o reason_n they_o be_v many_o i_o will_v extract_v the_o principal_a and_o open_v they_o brief_o and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o bud._n for_o situation_n i_o pass_v it_o over_o though_o it_o be_v no_o small_a point_n england_n scotland_n ireland_n and_o our_o good_a confederate_n the_o unite_a province_n lie_v all_o in_o a_o plump_a together_o not_o accessible_a but_o by_o sea_n or_o at_o least_o by_o pass_v of_o great_a river_n which_o be_v natural_a fortification_n as_o for_o the_o dominion_n of_o spain_n they_o be_v so_o scatter_v as_o it_o yield_v great_a choice_n of_o the_o scene_n of_o the_o war_n and_o promise_v slow_a succour_n unto_o such_o part_n as_o shall_v be_v attempt_v there_o be_v three_o main_a part_n of_o military_a puissance_n man_n money_n and_o confederate_n for_o man_n there_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v valour_n and_o number_n of_o valour_n i_o speak_v not_o take_v it_o from_o the_o witness_n that_o have_v be_v produce_v before_o yet_o the_o old_a observation_n be_v not_o untrue_a that_o the_o spaniard_n valour_n lie_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o looker_n on_o but_o the_o english_a valour_n lie_v about_o the_o soldier_n heart_n a_o valour_n of_o glory_n and_o a_o valour_n of_o natural_a courage_n be_v two_o thing_n but_o let_v that_o pass_v and_o let_v we_o speak_v of_o number_n spain_n be_v a_o nation_n thin_a sow_v of_o people_n partly_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o sterility_n of_o the_o soil_n and_o partly_o because_o their_o native_n be_v exhaust_v by_o so_o many_o employment_n in_o such_o vast_a territory_n as_o they_o possess_v so_o that_o it_o have_v be_v account_v a_o kind_n of_o miracle_n to_o see_v ten_o or_o twelve_o thousand_o native_a spaniard_n in_o a_o army_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a as_o we_o have_v touch_v it_o a_o little_a before_o in_o passage_n that_o the_o secret_a of_o the_o power_n of_o spain_n consist_v in_o a_o veterane_n army_n compound_v of_o miscellany_n force_n of_o all_o nation_n which_o for_o many_o year_n they_o have_v have_v on_o foot_n upon_o one_o occasion_n or_o other_o and_o if_o there_o shall_v happen_v the_o misfortune_n of_o a_o battle_n it_o will_v be_v a_o long_a work_n to_o draw_v on_o supply_n they_o tell_v a_o tale_n of_o a_o spanish_a ambassador_n that_o be_v bring_v to_o see_v the_o treasury_n of_o st._n mark_v at_o venice_n and_o still_o he_o look_v down_o to_o the_o ground_n and_o be_v ask_v why_o he_o so_o look_v down_o say_v he_o be_v look_v to_o see_v whether_o their_o treasure_n have_v any_o root_n so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v spend_v it_o will_v grow_v again_o as_o his_o master_n have_v but_o howsoever_o it_o be_v of_o their_o treasure_n certain_o the_o force_n have_v scarce_o any_o root_n or_o at_o least_o such_o a_o root_n as_o bud_v forth_o poor_o &_o slow_o it_o be_v true_a they_o have_v the_o walloon_n who_o be_v tall_a soldier_n but_o that_o be_v but_o a_o spot_n of_o ground_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n there_o be_v not_o in_o the_o world_n again_o such_o a_o spring_n and_o seminary_n of_o brave_a military_a people_n as_o in_o england_n scotland_n ireland_n and_o the_o unite_a province_n so_o as_o if_o war_n shall_v mow_v they_o down_o never_o so_o fast_o yet_o they_o may_v be_v sudden_o supply_v and_o come_v up_o again_o for_o money_n no_o doubt_n it_o be_v the_o principal_a part_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o spain_n for_o by_o that_o they_o maintain_v a_o veterane_n army_n and_o spain_n be_v the_o only_a state_n of_o europe_n that_o be_v a_o money_n grower_n but_o in_o this_o part_n of_o all_o other_o be_v most_o to_o be_v consider_v the_o tick_n lish_o and_o brittle_a state_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o spain_n their_o greatness_n consist_v in_o their_o treasure_n their_o treasure_n in_o their_o indies_n and_o their_o indies_n if_o it_o be_v well_o weigh_v be_v indeed_o but_o a_o accession_n to_o such_o as_o be_v master_n by_o sea_n so_o as_o this_o axletree_n whereupon_o their_o greatness_n turn_v be_v soon_o cut_v in_o two_o by_o any_o that_o shall_v be_v strong_a than_o they_o by_o sea_n herein_o therefore_o i_o refer_v i_o to_o the_o opinion_n of_o all_o man_n enemy_n or_o whosoever_o whether_o that_o the_o maritime_a force_n of_o great_a britain_n and_o the_o unite_a province_n be_v not_o able_a to_o beat_v the_o spainard_n at_o sea_n for_o if_o that_o be_v so_o the_o link_n of_o that_o chain_n whereby_o they_o hold_v their_o greatness_n be_v dissolve_v now_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o admit_v the_o case_n of_o spain_n be_v such_o as_o we_o have_v make_v it_o yet_o we_o ought_v to_o descend_v into_o our_o own_o case_n which_o we_o shall_v find_v perhaps_o not_o to_o be_v in_o state_n for_o treasure_n to_o enter_v into_o a_o war_n with_o spain_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v i_o know_v no_o such_o thing_n the_o mint_n beat_v well_o and_o the_o pulse_n of_o the_o people_n heart_n beat_v well_o but_o there_o be_v another_o point_n that_o take_v away_o quite_o this_o objection_n for_o whereas_o war_n be_v general_o cause_n of_o poverty_n or_o consumption_n on_o the_o contrary_a part_n the_o special_a nature_n of_o this_o war_n with_o spain_n if_o it_o be_v make_v by_o sea_n be_v like_a to_o be_v a_o lucrative_n and_o restorative_n war._n so_o that_o if_o we_o go_v roundly_o on_o at_o the_o first_o the_o war_n in_o continuance_n will_v find_v itself_o and_o therefore_o you_o must_v make_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o hercules_n labour_n by_o land_n and_o jason_n voyage_n by_o sea_n for_o the_o golden_a fleece_n for_o confederate_n i_o will_v not_o take_v upon_o i_o the_o knowledge_n how_o the_o prince_n state_n and_o counsel_n of_o europe_n at_o this_o day_n stand_v affect_v towards_o spain_n for_o that_o trench_v into_o the_o secret_a occurrent_n of_o the_o present_a time_n wherewith_o in_o all_o this_o treatise_n i_o have_v forbear_v to_o meddle_v but_o to_o speak_v of_o that_o which_o lie_v open_a and_o in_o view_n i_o see_v much_o matter_n of_o quarrel_n and_o jealousy_n but_o little_a of_o amity_n and_o trust_n towards_o spain_n almost_o in_o all_o other_o estate_n i_o see_v france_n be_v in_o competition_n with_o they_o for_o three_o noble_a portion_n of_o their_o monarchy_n navarre_n naples_n and_o milan_n and_o now_o fresh_o in_o difference_n with_o they_o about_o the_o
