man may see through euery streete into the fields The dwelling is meruailous healthfull because it standeth in a temperate climate not afflicted too much with extremities of heate and colde the hottest season of the yeare being more temperate then that of Spaine For in the time of their Summer heate there falleth euery day in the morning a sweete and cooling dewe which is not hurtfull but rather profitable for the health of man For it being vsed by way of Lotion it is good for the head aches and other diseases All Spanish fruit groweth and prospereth well in this soile especially Orenges Lemonds Figges Pomgranates and Vines wherof there had beene great abundance if the frequent broyles and tumults betweene the Spanish Souldiers had not hindred the labour and Plantation of the Husbandmen This Citie is iudged to be the most pleasant dwelling of all the Land in respect of the commodity of the harbour the great contractation of Marchants and the generall resort of the people of the maine Land who come thither from all parts and buy their furniture and prouision From the Mines of this Prouince is brought great store of gold and siluer The scituation of it is neere the midst of the Land as yet discouered for which cause the Emperour Charles the fifth placed there a Chauncerie royall and Iudges to decide his subiects causes which also doth encrease the confluence of the people It is seated two leagues from the Roade commonly called Callee de Lima or the Port of Lima. Le Hermite Generall of a Fleete vnder the States of the vnited Prouinces knowing how much the gaining of this place might accommodate the Hollanders and incommodate the Spaniards resolues vpon the attempt And being furnished with a sufficient number of shipping and men befitting such an enterprise he sets saile from the Netherlands and after a tedious Nauigation through the Straights of Magellan arriues at last in the South Sea opposite vnto Lima where hee makes his intention knowne to the Companie and then aduentures vpon the exploit wherein Fortune shewed her selfe so fauourable that with little or no losse he made himselfe Master of the Callee de Lime to the great terrour of the Citie which as some men report hath since yeelded it selfe to the mercy of the Hollanders The Conquerours got a great spoile in Shipping Treasure and other rich commodities and haue since gotten two other places in the Prouince of Peruana Thus you haue seene a true Suruay of those most remarkable losses and victories which haue hapned betweene the Hollanders and the Spaniards since the last truce which ended with the beginning of the yeare 1621. It followes that after their expression we should iustly counterpoise and ballance them which if wee doe without nationall respect or partiall inclination wee shall see the Dutch Acquisitions to exceede the Spanish and yet their losses to be farre inferiour vnto the others For leauing out Ormus out of the ballance because it is now peculiariz'd vnto the Persian although it were won by the succours of the Dutch and English if wee counterpoize the Conquest of Saint Saluador and the part of Lima omitting that of the Cities as doubtfull with al the new Acquisitions of Spaine we shall behold these to ouerway all those which this Nation hath of late acquired in Cleeue and Iuliers and this aduantage doth proceede not from one but from diuers conditions and respects For first of all the profits of Gulicke of the Dutchie with their extraordinarie Fees and Contributions will not amount to aboue an hundred thousand Duckats yearely and allowing two thousand Souldiers for the Garrison of that Signeurie and euery man to haue fiue Shillings a weeke for his pay the annuall reuenue will hardly quit the charges wheras rating the reuenues of Brasilia at three millions of Duckats and allowing one third of this accrument to rise from Fernambuco another from Ascensio Todos los Sanctos with the territorie thereto adioyning shall by this account bring a million yearely to the Cantors of the Netherlands 2. Papenmuch with the tolage of the Rhine and Goffe with the contribution money drawne from the Boores of West Cleaueland did hardly pay their owne Garisons but the keeping of the Port of Lima may draw perhaps a plentifull Contribution from the golden Mines of Chili and Potosi besides those spoiles that Le Hermite hath already gotten esteemed to bee an inestimable Masse and worth many Tuns of gold 3. The Catholicke King payes fourescore thousand Duckats vnto the Prince of Newenburge by Composition for the resignation of these two Dutchies but the States holde those new Acquisitions in America by the tenure of their Sword and by that ius acquisitum which power and fortune haue giuen to the stronger 4. The Spanish King hath other competitours in Cleaue Iuliers besides the Confederates of the seauen Prouinces as the house of Brandeburge and perhaps the posterity of the Newenburger may rowse themselues out of that Lethargie wherein the Spanish Pistolets haue put their sencelesse Father and lay clayme to that Inheritance which doth belong to them or the Brandeburger Iure gentium but the Hollanders haue no other titular pretenders to their new purchases in Peruana and Brasilia but the house of Spaine vnto whom they haue seldome lost any thing which they were once possest of and whereas the Sea could helpe them for many yeares together 5. The losse of Gulicke Goffe and Papenmuch giues no other disaduantage to the States they hauing Rees Embricke and Skenkes Sconce betweene that and their neerest frontier but the possessing of these two places in the West Indies the one vpon the North the other vpon the South Sea doe euen wast in the intermediate Continent of America and giue an entrance vnto those Prouinces whose golde hath battered the walls and opened the gates of the strongest Townes of Christendome for the Spaniards 6. And lastly the Inhabitants of Cleaue and Iuliers doe not well like the hard and heauy hand of your Castilian gouernment no more then doe all the lower circles of the Empire as well knowing how these Intruders haue impaired the Germane liberty and spur-gall'd Bohemia and the Palatinate almost to death but the Brasilians and Peruuians yea the very Portugals themselues would willingly receiue the law from the Dutch-men whom they admire as much for their faire and gentle gouernement as they hate the others for their rigour tiranny and oppression The Mansfeldian Motiues directed vnto all Colonels Liuetenant-Colonels Captaines Inferiour Officers and other Souldiers which either as Voluntiers or by way of Imprest are ingaged to serue in this next Expedition intended by the grace of God vnder the conduct and commaund of the most Illustrous and Warlike Prince ERNESTVS Earle of Mansfield HOnourable Professors of Armes you may see in this Dutch Suruay or ballance the swelling fortune of a triumphant State You may beholde also a handful of Netherlanders with some few Mercinary French and
