for_o a_o ground_n that_o for_o the_o render_n of_o any_o dominion_n whatsoever_o firm_a and_o durable_a it_o be_v necessary_o require_v that_o there_o be_v first_o a_o naturâ—l_a sociableness_n and_o

have_v declare_v former_o in_o the_o forementioned_a treatise_n and_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n if_o he_o but_o declare_v himself_o for_o and_o stand_v up_o in_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o pope_n

to_o speak_v of_o the_o turk_n the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o turk_n have_v be_v in_o his_o war_n against_o the_o christian_n never_o to_o maintain_v any_o long_a war_n with_o any_o one_o

be_v sufficient_a if_o he_o can_v but_o bring_v it_o about_o that_o the_o hollander_n and_o the_o freezlander_n shall_v with_o their_o fleet_n fall_v upon_o the_o english_a force_n at_o sea_n as_o i_o shall_v by_o and_o by_o make_v it_o plain_o appear_v but_o see_v he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o do_v thisâ—_n that_o his_o own_o navy_n be_v very_o often_o damage_v by_o the_o english_a ship_n the_o only_a remedy_n that_o be_v leave_v he_o be_v to_o provide_v himself_o of_o some_o vast_a fleet_n of_o ship_n which_o shall_v lie_v at_o corugna_fw-la and_o lisbon_n that_o when_o ever_o the_o

against_o ireland_n or_o england_n and_o so_o may_v divert_v they_o from_o lie_v in_o wait_n for_o and_o infest_v of_o the_o spanish_a navy_n and_o because_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n be_v to_o be_v

it_o cost_v he_o a_o million_o of_o money_n to_o guard_v such_o fleet_n of_o he_o as_o be_v to_o pass_v to_o and_o fro_o in_o the_o northern_a sea_n and_o to_o deal_v in_o the_o like_a manner_n with_o

and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o england_n stand_v in_o fear_n of_o no_o other_o nation_n so_o much_o as_o of_o those_o above_o name_v because_o they_o be_v both_o more_o fierce_a and_o more_o
