effect_n in_o the_o three_o place_n the_o thing_n propose_v be_v feasable_a and_o easy_a and_o hardly_o possible_a to_o miscarry_v it_o be_v hardly_o possible_a that_o the_o french_a shall_v hinder_v our_o land_n it_o be_v hardly_o possible_a they_o shall_v hinder_v our_o fortify_v or_o shall_v take_v from_o we_o the_o place_n we_o fortify_v i_o shall_v speak_v first_o to_o our_o land_n and_o here_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v resolve_v to_o land_n at_o one_o place_n precise_o and_o the_o french_a shall_v discover_v our_o design_n some_o month_n before_o hand_n and_o shall_v according_o provide_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o that_o place_n with_o a_o great_a body_n of_o horse_n and_o foot_n with_o fort_n and_o intrenchment_n and_o with_o bomb_n and_o cannon_n and_o we_o know_v all_o this_o shall_v attempt_v that_o place_n notwithstanding_o we_o may_v fair_o be_v repulse_v and_o baffle_v as_o we_o be_v at_o camaret_n bay_n but_o if_o we_o be_v at_o large_a to_o land_n where_o we_o see_v convenient_a there_o be_v no_o such_o danger_n when_o we_o sail_v from_o that_o bay_n towards_o flanders_n along_o by_o the_o french_a shore_n the_o whole_a country_n be_v in_o a_o high_a alarm_n and_o they_o bring_v down_o all_o their_o force_n to_o guard_n their_o coast_n but_o yet_o as_o i_o have_v it_o from_o those_o who_o see_v it_o with_o their_o eye_n there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o place_n convenient_a for_o land_v that_o have_v no_o guard_n at_o all_o either_o upon_o they_o or_o near_o they_o we_o see_v far_o and_o wide_a that_o the_o coast_n be_v

find_v any_o opposition_n sir_n walter_n raleigh_n do_v full_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o land_n upon_o a_o enemy_n coast_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v hinder_v provide_v the_o assailant_n be_v

find_v in_o history_n that_o ever_o any_o attempt_n of_o this_o kind_n miscarry_v except_o we_o which_o i_o mention_v but_o now_o and_o reason_n tell_v we_o that_o our_o land_n upon_o france_n to_o

to_o defend_v it_o their_o coast_n upon_o our_o channel_n for_o that_o must_v be_v the_o scene_n of_o these_o action_n be_v five_o hundred_o mile_n in_o length_n so_o that_o here_o be_v a_o thousand_o

five_o mile_n of_o ground_n all_o will_v be_v find_v too_o few_o to_o oppose_v our_o land_n i_o hope_v i_o have_v make_v out_o that_o our_o land_n can_v be_v hinder_v by_o the_o french_a i_o must_v now_o show_v that_o they_o can_v hinder_v our_o fortify_v it_o will_v be_v very_o strange_a if_o such_o a_o body_n of_o man_n have_v the_o sea_n and_o a_o fleet_n behind_o they_o and_o have_v at_o

not_o to_o fear_v the_o insult_v of_o any_o enemy_n the_o work_v we_o cast_v up_o at_o landen_n in_o one_o short_a night_n the_o french_a line_n in_o flanders_n and_o several_a late_a

they_o will_v do_v it_o cheerful_o if_o those_o that_o labour_n have_v some_o pay_v extraordinary_a which_o be_v the_o way_n of_o the_o old_a prince_n of_o orange_n the_o grandfather_n and_o great_a

hardly_o possible_a that_o the_o french_a shall_v take_v these_o garrison_n from_o we_o and_o this_o be_v evident_a of_o itself_o if_o the_o place_n be_v as_o they_o ought_v relievable_a by_o sea_n and_o not_o command_v by_o land_n a_o place_n that_o be_v complete_o fortify_v that_o have_v a_o great_a garrison_n with_o great_a store_n of_o cannon_n and_o have_v room_n for_o great_a

upon_o the_o coast_n of_o france_n there_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v do_v the_o rest_n will_v do_v itself_o and_o as_o i_o have_v say_v elsewhere_o england_n will_v then_o be_v glorious_a when_o we_o

he_o and_o have_v settle_v a_o rampant_a garrison_n there_o will_v not_o the_o whole_a county_n of_o devon_n and_o cornwall_n to_o boot_v have_v be_v dismember_a by_o it_o and_o have_v not_o deal_v

and_o confound_v by_o it_o that_o they_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o resist_v the_o confederate_n assail_a they_o in_o all_o quarter_n we_o may_v then_o hope_v for_o a_o good_a and_o speedy_a end_n of_o this_o war_n whereas_o by_o keep_v our_o army_n in_o flanders_n there_o be_v no_o hope_n of_o it_o for_o as_o thing_n go_v there_o though_o our_o force_n be_v never_o so_o great_a though_o

a_o end_n of_o the_o war_n at_o this_o rate_n we_o may_v be_v twenty_o year_n in_o recover_a flanders_n and_o we_o for_o our_o part_n shall_v be_v ruin_v in_o the_o ten_o part_n of_o that_o time_n for_o if_o our_o foreign_a payment_n continue_v two_o year_n long_o they_o will_v entire_o ruin_n we_o and_o i_o doubt_v one_o year_n will_v do_v it_o if_o from_o flanders_n we_o can_v carry_v the_o

at_o frontier_n garrison_n but_o break_v into_o the_o country_n we_o shall_v never_o see_v a_o good_a conclusion_n of_o this_o war_n till_o the_o war_n be_v carry_v into_o france_n and_o since_o that_o can_v be_v do_v by_o land_n we_o must_v do_v it_o by_o sea_n which_o be_v the_o end_n and_o drift_n of_o the_o design_n here_o propose_v some_o loose_a thing_n be_v here_o add_v relate_v to_o the_o discourse_n above-written_a 1._o no_o great_a number_n of_o horse_n be_v require_v for_o this_o service_n for_o they_o be_v not_o useful_a either_o in_o land_v or_o fortify_v which_o be_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v it_o seem_v therefore_o sufficient_a that_o a_o thousand_o or_o two_o of_o they_o be_v embark_v at_o first_o and_o about_o twice_o as_o many_o lie_v ready_a in_o england_n till_o there_o be_v occasion_n for_o they_o that_o be_v till_o some_o garrison_n be_v settle_v to_o which_o they_o may_v go_v for_o to_o have_v they_o all_o on_o shipboard_n while_o the_o fleet_n and_o army_n be_v upon_o wing_n and_o may_v be_v ply_v to_o and_o again_o for_o several_a day_n will_v be_v too_o chargeable_a and_o cumbersome_a 2._o it_o be_v no_o way_n necessary_a that_o the_o place_n we_o fortify_v shall_v be_v good_a port_n the_o french_a have_v few_o such_o upon_o this_o coast_n and_o for_o these_o place_n it_o be_v sufficient_a if_o they_o be_v relievable_a by_o sea_n and_o can_v receive_v and_o secure_v small_a vessel_n for_o the_o business_n of_o these_o garrison_n be_v that_o we_o may_v harrass_n and_o torment_v the_o french_a from_o these_o garrison_n perhaps_o another_o year_n when_o the_o french_a be_v weaken_a and_o humble_v we_o may_v think_v of_o attacking_z their_o best_a port_n and_o of_o a_o voyage_n royal._n but_o at_o present_a we_o shall_v attempt_v nothing_o but_o what_o we_o be_v sure_o we_o can_v do_v for_o what_o we_o be_v sure_o we_o can_v do_v will_v sufficient_o ruin_v the_o french_a king_n it_o will_v cost_v we_o some_o labour_n but_o we_o shall_v run_v no_o hazard_n 3._o a_o voyage_n royal_a or_o a_o main_a invasion_n will_v not_o be_v of_o that_o advantage_n as_o the_o desultory_a sea_n war_n here_o propose_v in_o that_o

shall_v be_v sure_a to_o do_v something_o and_o to_o gain_v our_o point_n though_o the_o enemy_n force_v shall_v be_v much_o superior_a to_o we_o by_o the_o first_o way_n we_o shall_v only_o divide_v the_o enemy_n force_v by_o divide_v our_o own_o without_o any_o further_a advantage_n 4._o forty_o thousand_o of_o our_o man_n on_o shipboard_n will_v do_v more_o service_n to_o flanders_n by_o the_o

money_n to_o piedmont_n whence_o it_o will_v never_o return_v it_o be_v better_o for_o we_o to_o expend_v twice_o or_o thrice_o as_o much_o in_o our_o own_o sea_n for_o that_o money_n will_v return_v or_o rather_o will_v never_o go_v from_o we_o and_o this_o powerful_a revulsive_a will_v be_v feel_v in_o piedmont_n to_o its_o great_a ease_n and_o benefit_n but_o let_v it_o be_v as_o it_o will_v we_o must_v send_v away_o no_o more_o money_n 6._o our_o silver_n coin_n that_o be_v leave_v as_o mr._n lowndes_n compute_v it_o may_v be_v about_o five_o million_o and_o a_o half_a but_o some_o

beside_o great_a debt_n that_o must_v be_v satisfy_v and_o either_o the_o payment_n must_v be_v there_o make_v by_o money_n in_o specie_fw-la or_o they_o must_v be_v make_v by_o bill_n with_o most_o

by_o our_o great_a payment_n abroad_o be_v a_o infinite_a disadvantage_n to_o our_o merchant_n and_o will_v continue_v as_o long_o as_o those_o payment_n do_v to_o the_o ruin_n of_o our_o trade_n and_o consequent_o of_o our_o nation_n as_o for_o our_o clip_v money_n that_o have_v no_o effect_n upon_o the_o exchange_n till_o guineas_n do_v rise_v which_o be_v less_o than_o a_o year_n since_o and_o when_o our_o coin_n be_v reform_v that_o effect_n will_v cease_v but_o our_o foreign_a payment_n be_v the_o more_o durable_a and_o substantial_a cause_n it_o be_v these_o payment_n that_o make_v silver_n more_o valuable_a and_o better_o and_o dear_a in_o other_o part_n than_o it_o be_v in_o england_n we_o can_v have_v weight_n for_o weight_n nor_o receive_v so_o many_o ounce_n there_o as_o we_o pay_v here_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o our_o money_n never_o fly_v from_o we_o but_o when_o silver_n be_v more_o valuable_a in_o other_o place_n than_o in_o england_n now_o silver_n as_o
