will_v speak_v no_o more_o of_o she_o as_o not_o esteem_v her_o worthy_a to_o be_v account_v of_o in_o man_n affair_n rather_o i_o judge_v that_o the_o divine_a providence_n for_o some_o grievous_a offence_n of_o we_o have_v lay_v this_o plague_n upon_o we_o and_o therefore_o to_o strive_v further_o against_o the_o god_n i_o think_v you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v madness_n what_o shall_v we_o say_v the_o commons_o cry_v out_o for_o the_o grievous_a taxation_n raise_v upon_o they_o to_o maintain_v the_o war_n which_o sort_v to_o so_o unwelcome_a a_o end_n can_v choose_v but_o be_v a_o great_a grief_n to_o all_o the_o treasury_n be_v draw_v dry_a the_o navy_n be_v unfurnished_v widow_n in_o every_o place_n lament_v the_o loss_n of_o their_o husband_n father_n and_o mother_n sit_v weep_v and_o wail_v for_o the_o untimely_a loss_n of_o their_o dear_a child_n mariabdela_n laugh_v at_o our_o tear_n and_o make_v the_o misery_n of_o our_o loss_n the_o trophy_n to_o renown_n his_o victory_n and_o for_o all_o these_o expense_n not_o only_o the_o first_o indignity_n be_v not_o revenge_v but_o also_o it_o be_v make_v great_a by_o many_o new_a and_o latter_a misfortune_n they_o be_v enrich_v with_o our_o loss_n and_o make_v provision_n for_o themselves_o of_o our_o store_n my_o advice_n therefore_o to_o your_o majesty_n be_v that_o you_o will_v find_v out_o some_o honourable_a condition_n of_o peace_n to_o be_v offer_v the_o barbarian_n rather_o than_o to_o continue_v the_o war_n that_o have_v hitherto_o sort_v so_o unlucky_o on_o our_o side_n and_o therewith_o he_o cease_v whereupon_o the_o duke_n of_o midnia_n who_o valour_n fortune_n can_v never_o diminish_v though_o she_o may_v frown_v upon_o his_o action_n hear_v he_o rise_v and_o make_v due_a

to_o fight_v i_o grant_v this_o have_v be_v good_a counsel_n at_o first_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o a_o kingdom_n have_v be_v engage_v upon_o the_o enterprise_n but_o now_o since_o it_o have_v proceed_v so_o far_o as_o to_o the_o stern_a decide_n of_o the_o sword_n i_o hold_v it_o no_o way_n honourable_a for_o a_o little_a loss_n to_o hazard_v the_o perpetual_a honour_n of_o a_o mighty_a kingdom_n which_o can_v be_v avoid_v if_o we_o give_v over_o now_o so_o faint_o what_o we_o begin_v with_o such_o alacrity_n what_o though_o we_o have_v lose_v the_o fortune_n of_o a_o day_n or_o two_o be_v that_o of_o force_n to_o impoverish_v a_o whole_a kingdom_n as_o you_o my_o lord_n of_o santa_n crux_fw-la will_v make_v we_o believe_v can_v the_o expense_n of_o a_o million_o be_v it_o two_o empty_a the_o coffer_n of_o this_o spain_n you_o much_o undervalue_v the_o revenue_n of_o this_o rich_a kingdom_n to_o think_v so_o poor_o of_o it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o these_o

no_o friend_n to_o help_v she_o in_o a_o extremity_n so_o urgent_a what_o be_v become_v of_o italy_n the_o ancient_a friend_n of_o spain_n where_o be_v spacious_a france_n be_v sicily_n vanish_v be_v rhodes_n perish_v be_v malta_n drown_v in_o the_o sea_n or_o be_v the_o famous_a greece_n sink_v into_o the_o earth_n can_v it_o be_v that_o none_o of_o these_o shall_v yield_v we_o succour_v be_v it_o possible_a that_o mariabdela_n shall_v have_v do_v no_o wrong_n to_o any_o of_o they_o do_v not_o the_o fierce_a martoll_n wage_v by_o the_o king_n of_o tunis_n rescue_v the_o ship_n of_o candy_n force_v the_o fleet_n of_o malta_n spoil_v the_o navy_n of_o rhodes_n and_o ransom_n certain_a syrian_n bind_v for_o greece_n never_o spare_v to_o do_v any_o villainy_n till_o myself_o with_o the_o

merchant_n dare_v pass_v to_o and_o fro_o in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o strait_n and_o do_v you_o think_v that_o all_o these_o injury_n can_v be_v put_v in_o silence_n as_o will_v be_v if_o these_o petty_a king_n and_o prince_n have_v but_o the_o countenance_n of_o the_o great_a king_n of_o spain_n to_o animate_v they_o perhaps_o you_o will_v have_v they_o come_v and_o offer_v their_o service_n unto_o you_o unsent_a for_o small_a reason_n for_o that_o when_o you_o have_v not_o send_v they_o any_o notice_n of_o your_o purpose_n which_o if_o you_o neglect_v as_o scorn_v to_o use_v the_o power_n of_o your_o inferior_n it_o be_v ill_o do_v if_o as_o trust_v to_o your_o own_o force_n to_o go_v through_o with_o the_o enterprise_n you_o see_v you_o be_v too_o fond_a in_o that_o but_o never_o can_v it_o be_v too_o late_o to_o learn_v wisdom_n and_o to_o put_v in_o practice_v any_o honourable_a action_n it_o can_v be_v that_o if_o your_o majesty_n send_v your_o ambassador_n to_o these_o prince_n to_o crave_v their_o aid_n they_o shall_v be_v deny_v nay_o rather_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o they_o will_v more_o than_o willing_o embrace_v the_o motion_n whereby_o they_o shall_v not_o only_o redeem_v their_o own_o particular_a loss_n but_o also_o bind_v the_o great_a king_n of_o spain_n to_o be_v their_o friend_n with_o the_o aid_n of_o they_o you_o may_v furnish_v out_o another_o army_n which_o shall_v not_o only_o beat_v the_o proud_a barbarian_a but_o also_o full_o redeem_v the_o dishonour_n and_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o former_a battle_n you_o urge_v the_o tear_n of_o orphan_n the_o cry_n of_o widow_n the_o lament_n of_o parent_n and_o the_o wail_n of_o friend_n as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o incident_a to_o the_o war_n can_v it_o be_v i_o pray_v you_o that_o a_o battle_n shall_v be_v fight_v and_o not_o one_o slay_v and_o if_o some_o be_v slay_v can_v it_o be_v there_o shall_v be_v none_o to_o bemoan_v they_o or_o do_v you_o think_v there_o be_v no_o wet_a eye_n in_o barbary_n as_o well_o as_o here_o in_o spain_n mariabdela_n i_o be_o sure_o buy_v not_o his_o victory_n so_o cheap_a nor_o be_o i_o a_o man_n so_o note_v for_o cowardice_n to_o give_v over_o the_o fight_n for_o nothing_o i_o never_o flee_v before_o i_o meet_v with_o mariabdela_n and_o then_o i_o think_v i_o be_v vanquish_v mere_o and_o sole_o by_o the_o overpresse_v of_o

like_o hydraes-head_n when_o one_o be_v lop_v off_o two_o arise_v in_o their_o place_n so_o that_o if_o i_o may_v speak_v it_o without_o be_v tax_v of_o boast_v i_o think_v we_o be_v overcome_v only_o by_o be_v weary_a of_o conquer_a and_o i_o suppose_v that_o the_o conqueror_n lose_v more_o than_o we_o that_o be_v vanquish_v and_o well_o may_v they_o say_v with_o their_o countryman_n hannibal_n many_o such_o victory_n will_v undo_v they_o consider_v i_o pray_v we_o go_v as_o you_o know_v not_o past_a fifty_o galley_n strong_a when_o as_o mariabdela_n meet_v we_o with_o about_o two_o hundred_o and_o yet_o against_o such_o we_o hold_v out_o fight_v for_o the_o space_n of_o five_o year_n without_o any_o sign_n of_o disadvantage_n imagine_v what_o we_o can_v have_v do_v have_v we_o be_v of_o any_o equality_n these_o thing_n consider_v my_o gracious_a lord_n it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v best_o for_o your_o majesty_n to_o send_v your_o messenger_n to_o the_o mighty_a
