marry_v to_o spaniard_n and_o the_o african_a woman_n either_o to_o german_n or_o low-dutch_a and_o the_o spanish_a woman_n to_o italian_n for_o this_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n seem_v to_o require_v that_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o spaniaâ—d_n shall_v be_v render_v more_o fruitful_a by_o the_o german_a juycinesse_n and_o that_o the_o fiery_a temper_n of_o the_o african_a shall_v be_v attemper_v

as_o i_o have_v former_o show_v in_o my_o philosophy_n and_o as_o concern_v this_o temperament_n the_o italian_n be_v good_a for_o both_o and_o from_o hence_o will_v arise_v two_o advantage_n the_o first_o whereof_o be_v that_o these_o woman_n will_v embrace_v the_o christian_a faith_n for_o a_o woman_n will_v never_o be_v of_o any_o other_o religion_n then_o that_o which_o her_o husband_n who_o

paul_n say_v that_o the_o unbelieving_a wife_n be_v sanctify_v by_o her_o believe_a husband_n and_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_n the_o second_o advantage_n be_v that_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o king_n shall_v never_o be_v without_o good_a store_n of_o soldier_n while_o he_o shall_v always_o have_v his_o soldier_n son_n also_o to_o make_v soldier_n of_o when_o therefore_o he_o shall_v once_o come_v to_o abound_v in_o soldier_n by_o reason_n of_o this_o course_n take_v to_o promote_v fructification_n which_o i_o have_v now_o lay_v down_o it_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o inflame_v the_o soldier_n

to_o fight_v for_o love_n i_o will_v also_o have_v a_o law_n make_v that_o such_o soldier_n as_o have_v take_v away_o more_o woman_n than_o one_o shall_v be_v place_v in_o some_o strong_a hold_n and_o

and_o it_o will_v do_v very_o well_o if_o such_o be_v send_v away_o into_o some_o new_a colony_n of_o the_o new_a world_n four_o let_v he_o cause_n to_o be_v erect_v in_o each_o of_o his_o several_a

not_o say_v that_o a_o king_n whole_a strength_n consist_v only_o in_o his_o money_n but_o he_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o money_n alone_o will_v do_v little_a towards_o the_o subdue_a of_o a_o
