A11774	The Belgicke pismire stinging the slothfull sleeper, and avvaking the diligent to fast, watch, pray; and worke out their owne temporall and eternall salvation with feare and trembling.	Scott, Thomas, 1580?-1626.	1622 (1622)	STC 22069; ESTC S116957	66,236	114

and_o last_o we_o have_v no_o land_n or_o a_o very_a little_a in_o those_o part_n and_o so_o not_o the_o like_a mean_n from_o our_o own_o annual_a crop_n to_o lade_v our_o own_o ship_n or_o the_o like_a liberty_n and_o opportunity_n to_o furnish_v ourselves_o by_o trade_v with_o those_o several_a nation_n as_o they_o have_v but_o now_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o unite_v our_o trade_n there_o and_o to_o bring_v both_o nation_n into_o one_o corporation_n it_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o strengthen_v and_o assure_v both_o part_n here_o and_o there_o and_o to_o enrich_v both_o part_n without_o fear_n of_o any_o three_o or_o fall_v out_o among_o ourselves_o for_o i_o very_o believe_v that_o that_o disgust_v betwixt_o the_o two_o nation_n in_o the_o east_n indies_n be_v not_o send_v thither_o without_o a_o romish_a practice_n nor_o can_v i_o believe_v that_o those_o many_o delay_n and_o dallying_n since_o use_v in_o the_o composition_n of_o those_o grievance_n and_o in_o not_o satisfy_v his_o majesty_n just_a demand_n proceed_v altogether_o from_o free_a and_o loyal_a thought_n to_o their_o own_o state_n but_o have_v the_o corrupt_a mixture_n of_o spanish_a lees_n in_o the_o bottom_n which_o may_v teach_v we_o to_o be_v more_o charitable_a then_o to_o censure_v the_o whole_a nation_n for_o the_o practice_n of_o some_o few_o since_o we_o may_v consider_v this_o state_n be_v compound_v of_o member_n diverse_o affect_v and_o that_o the_o good_a and_o honest_a people_n do_v suffer_v in_o our_o suffering_n while_o they_o see_v the_o other_o offer_v we_o injury_n upon_o purpose_n to_o make_v we_o break_v off_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o their_o grand_a signior_n thus_o we_o have_v see_v a_o glimpse_n of_o that_o profit_n which_o the_o unite_a province_n make_v of_o their_o land-enemy_n their_o other_o enemy_n be_v the_o water_n both_o salt_n and_o fresh_a of_o this_o likewise_o they_o make_v a_o profitable_a friend_n as_o i_o will_v labour_v brief_o to_o manifest_v the_o sea_n lie_v continual_o rage_v upon_o their_o coast_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o if_o it_o will_v hourly_o eat_v they_o up_o and_o swallow_v all_o at_o a_o mouthful_n it_o overlooke_n they_o and_o they_o seem_v to_o lie_v under_o it_o yet_o they_o keep_v out_o this_o strong_a enemy_n at_o the_o arm_n end_n by_o art_n and_o industry_n have_v nothing_o but_o rampier_n and_o fortification_n of_o sand_n to_o oppose_v it_o to_o make_v these_o strong_a therefore_o and_o to_o unite_v they_o that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v blow_v away_o with_o the_o violence_n of_o every_o stormy_a wind_n it_o be_v incredible_a what_o pain_n they_o take_v set_v a_o kind_n of_o long_a grass_n upon_o the_o same_o barren_a sand_n as_o curious_o and_o careful_o as_o we_o set_v flower_n and_o herb_n in_o our_o garden_n which_o grass_n once_o get_v root_n bind_v the_o earth_n together_o that_o the_o wind_n can_v ready_o come_v to_o blow_v it_o away_o and_o teach_v they_o by_o the_o like_a combination_n to_o turn_v their_o weakness_n into_o the_o like_a strength_n now_o this_o be_v nothing_o if_o they_o have_v but_o a_o little_a bank_n to_o keep_v but_o consider_v what_o a_o large_a coast_n they_o be_v to_o guard_v and_o make_v good_a in_o this_o manner_n want_v our_o natural_a wall_n of_o rock_n it_o be_v a_o miracle_n that_o they_o shall_v have_v so_o much_o courage_n as_o to_o undertake_v it_o and_o so_o much_o constancy_n as_o to_o pursue_v it_o and_o so_o much_o cunning_a as_o to_o effect_v it_o i_o make_v no_o question_n if_o some_o nation_n who_o bear_v their_o head_n aloft_o have_v the_o like_a work_n in_o hand_n they_o will_v either_o never_o attempt_v it_o or_o faint_a and_o give_v over_o in_o the_o midst_n &_o rather_o with_o the_o heluetian_o com._n caes_n com._n seek_v new_a country_n to_o inhabit_v then_o be_v at_o such_o a_o continual_a cost_n and_o care_n to_o defend_v their_o own_o against_o two_o such_o enemy_n at_o once_o when_o these_o notwithstanding_o do_v not_o only_o keep_v their_o ground_n but_o as_o they_o have_v deal_v with_o spain_n for_o his_o intrusion_n upon_o their_o ancient_a liberty_n right_n and_o privilege_n so_o here_o they_o have_v win_v upon_o the_o ocean_n and_o recover_v a_o great_a part_n from_o the_o sea_n usurpation_n part_v whereof_o have_v neither_o sand_n not_o other_o soil_n to_o help_v they_o they_o defend_v with_o stupendous_a heap_n of_o stone_n which_o with_o incredible_a cost_n they_o fetch_v from_o their_o neighbour_n prince_n even_o in_o place_n far_o remote_a for_o money_n and_o with_o a_o continual_a supply_n of_o these_o from_o time_n to_o time_n keep_v out_o the_o entrance_n of_o so_o furious_a a_o adversary_n the_o assault_n and_o battery_n which_o the_o sea_n make_v in_o this_o one_o place_n that_o i_o have_v see_v be_v about_o a_o english_a mile_n long_o or_o more_o which_o they_o defend_v and_o maintain_v with_o huge_a pile_n of_o timber_n bring_v likewise_o from_o foreigne_a part_n inter-lined_n with_o those_o heap_n of_o stone_n forementioned_a about_o the_o breadth_n of_o two_o or_o three_o acre_n all_o that_o way_n otherwise_o the_o sea_n will_v break_v in_o over_o all_o and_o soon_o determine_v the_o controversy_n betwixt_o they_o and_o spain_n take_v possession_n of_o all_o from_o both_o of_o they_o by_o force_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o this_o people_n maintain_v their_o own_o both_o against_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n and_o the_o ocean_n by_o help_n which_o they_o fetch_v from_o foreign_a nation_n while_o both_o their_o

these_o water_n work_n for_o they_o continual_o as_o faithful_a servant_n convey_v their_o carriage_n by_o this_o mean_n to_o and_o fro_o in_o a_o cheap_a easy_a and_o safe_a manner_n and_o such_o

wheresoever_o it_o blow_v it_o blow_v good_a to_o some_o of_o they_o and_o it_o be_v remarkable_a &_o wonderful_a that_o though_o there_o be_v many_o of_o these_o mill_n in_o every_o town_n yet_o
