land_n who_o when_o they_o be_v assemble_v together_o in_o a_o body_n be_v call_v in_o their_o language_n the_o parliament_n carry_v a_o great_a sway_n with_o they_o and_o have_v very_o great_a

for_o all_o northern_a nation_n be_v natural_o impatient_a of_o monarchy_n or_o absolute_a power_n in_o prince_n and_o the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v always_o keep_v under_o by_o the_o parliament_n till_o that_o now_o of_o late_a time_n under_o pretext_n of_o introduce_v a_o new_a religion_n they_o have_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o exercise_v a_o more_o absolute_a power_n over_o their_o subject_n

we_o can_v say_v so_o of_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n who_o in_o such_o a_o case_n will_v present_o be_v furnish_v with_o aide_n from_o the_o pope_n and_o the_o prince_n of_o italy_n and_o that_o by_o

a_o one_o as_o the_o great_a turk_n be_v who_o yet_o lie_v so_o very_o far_o remote_a from_o he_o as_o alexander_n the_o great_a of_o old_a do_v from_o the_o roman_n can_v so_o quick_o ruin_v he_o whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a any_o peaceable_a agreement_n of_o the_o christian_n among_o themselves_o if_o so_o be_v it_o be_v but_o firm_a and_o last_a will_v utter_o confound_v the_o turk_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o although_o king_n philip_n kingdom_n lie_v scatter_v far_o and_o near_o yet_o his_o enemy_n also_o lie_v far_o asunder_o one_o from_o another_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o his_o emulator_n the_o italian_n tuscan_n and_o venetian_n will_v never_o enter_v into_o a_o combination_n against_o he_o unless_o he_o first_o give_v they_o some_o evident_a

be_v also_o most_o certain_a that_o the_o catholic_n prince_n both_o out_o of_o fear_n of_o the_o heretic_n and_o also_o of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o pope_n will_v never_o attempt_v any_o such_o

and_o also_o in_o the_o pope_n himself_o although_o his_o own_o papal_a authority_n restore_v he_o again_o and_o therefore_o the_o spaniard_n have_v no_o need_n to_o fear_v the_o king_n of_o france_n much_o and_o as_o for_o the_o english_a he_o have_v much_o less_o reason_n to_o stand_v in_o fear_n of_o they_o see_v they_o be_v shut_v up_o within_o a_o island_n and_o we_o seldom_o see_v islander_n get_v any_o sure_a foot_n and_o make_v themselves_o master_n of_o any_o part_n of_o a_o foreign_a continent_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o they_o if_o they_o can_v keep_v their_o

but_o this_o he_o must_v make_v his_o chief_a business_n namely_o to_o weaken_v the_o power_n of_o the_o english_a for_o the_o effect_n of_o which_o design_n it_o will_v 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 this_o 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 spanish_a fleet_n shall_v return_v from_o the_o indies_n they_o may_v serve_v as_o convoy_n to_o it_o and_o may_v bring_v it_o home_o safe_o or_o else_o they_o may_v be_v send_v forth_o either_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 lord_n of_o the_o sea_n it_o be_v very_o necessary_a that_o he_o build_v himself_o many_o wooden_a city_n that_o be_v to_o say_v great_a navy_n for_o the_o secure_n of_o his_o treasure_n that_o he_o recieve_v out_o of_o the_o new_a world_n it_o will_v also_o be_v a_o very_a good_a course_n for_o he_o to_o hire_v those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o great_a strength_n among_o the_o hollander_n though_o it_o cost_v he_o a_o million_o of_o
