(Never before now,) published for the good of Englands common-wealth, by Andrevves Burrell. Gent. Or, a narrative of all the principall passages which were trans-acted in the Downes, in the year, 1639. betweene Antonio Oquendo, Admirall of the Spanish Armado, and Martin Van Tromp, Admirall for the states of Holland. Wherein (by a similary illustration) Englands (present) sluggish navie is proved to be unservicable, and in a like condition with the Spanish fleet.
