will never feare them; so that we are secure enough, only
we will leave no way unassayed to prevent the one, and to attempt
our wicked practices and devises on the other. Be not deceived,
know this from me, that there is no such division in France,
but they can and will spare a sufficient Army of Men and Moneys
towards the forwarding of of so good and Charitable a work; and
Spaine will doe the like, all fearing, that as it is little ENGLANDS
part to day, so it may be theirs in Spaine and France to morrow;
they having tasted in part thereof already, so that they have now
promised to furnish our gracious King both with Men, Ammunition,
Shipping, and Money, and with such men as will be welcome
to England, men of their owne Nation; and likewise the Somer

some of their young Spawns may grow up to be as very knaves as
their Parents, which in my judgement is a thing as impossible, as for
them to make the late King alive againe.

no silly snotty Nose, seeke not to blind the world with lies,
and to boast of great Conquests and Victories there, as thou hast
done, by taking of some small castle that are of no consequence,
such as could hardy containe 50 or 60 men, little Cottages that
poore people made their habitation, these and such like have ever
been the glory or thy Victories there, and when thou wert possessed
of any great Towne it was Treachery, and poore Englands
purse them; No Noll thou hasty more worke to doe there, then
ever thou hadest in thy life, the greatest and strongest Cities in
that kingdome ar yet unreduced to thy yoake of Obedience thy
Treachery will not serve to betray them, nor thy Money to buy
