     summary: But when they came to understand the kindness and behaviour of the English to them , they had a very great love for them , and did much Honour the King of England : the Orankies being often heard to say , that the King of England was a good King , and his God a good God ; but their Tanto and the Hollanders were naught . yet they endeavoured nothing more during their short stay , then to make the Natives disaffected to the English ; affronting their persons , and defaming the Grandeur and Power of the Kings of England .

     summary: These and the former Reasons strangely satisfied the multitude , yet many an honest man cryed that we had been mistaken in our measures last war , that Kings find expedients when others little dream of them : That your Kingdom was a place whose Maxims and Secrets were not to be guessed at ; for when we thought our selves wholly sure , & that you wanted either mony or men , Allies abroad , or Uuity at home , and the like , still some accident or other happened to deceive and ruine us . But their private resolution was ( as I said before ) to give you no Reparation , and to sink sooner than to have your Protection , assuring one another that no Demand of France ( though victorious ) could be so destructive to their particular Interest as yours ; nor is this kind of self ends any news to Christendom , since we daily see there are men in Authority that will rather submit to the Turk himself than miss of their aimes , or fall into the hand of a Neighbour , whom they hate or envy .

     summary: And that when ever France should be desirous of Peace , there might be those in the Imperial Councils and Court , whose Interest would oblige them to desire and procure it , in order to their restoration and re-establishment in their Estates , and to free themselves from the necessity of begging their Bread elsewhere . Therefore 't is not strange , that the Ministers of France ( though perhaps in this particular against the intention and without the order of his most Christian Majesty ) leave no stone unturned for the destruction of his Highness of Lorrain : But it may surprize any man to find that the Imperial Governour of Phillipsbourgh , should ( so openly and notoriously , as he did ) have attempted the destruction of that Prince , by the trap he caused cunningly to be made in the bridge of that place , for that purpose , through which the good Prince fell headlong to the bottom of the Ditch :

     summary: yet , it hath not to this day , been further recognosced , even in the Channel , ( it 's principal seat and subject , and where it hath alwayes affected it's maine Parad : for as to the other brittish seas , which are onely , the neerest circumambient parts of the wide Ocean , the Law of nations doth onely attribut to England its common priviledge ) then by the bare ceremony of the first salute ; neither in the last Treaty , wherein the King of England was greatly concerned , and no lesse solicitous to cleare this title , was there any thing else agreed unto , as I have already marked ; and without all peradventure , if his Majesty in the conceit of his dominion , should once offer to exert it , though but in very ordinary effects , such as the assuming of jurisdiction , or imposing of tribute , whereof the Sound and Adriatick do exhibit cleare precedents ; he would soone be made to understand his error , not onely by the reclaming dissent , but also , by the vigourous opposition of all his neighbours : I might insist to disprove this pretense of an indefinit dominion , from the far more rational judgement , of the ancient Romans , who not only reckoned the sea with the air , Inter ea quae sunt nullius ; but , though by reason of the encircling of their vast Empire , they might have acclaimed , even the whole Mediterranean Sea , jure diverticuli , & in many parts thereof , had indeed several powers , and priviledges ; yet , were they so far from captating this vaine and groundlesse title , that one of the greatest Emperours , begins a rescript , with relation to this same subject , in these words , Ego quidem munai dominus , lex vero maris : thereby manifestly holding forth , that , as he judged it incapable of dominion , so it 's unstable nature , and common destination , could only be regulat , as to humane concernes , in so far , as Law , and consequently , condition or consent , did determine : from all which , I conclude , that as the Dutch , doe fully satisfie , all that in justice , the King of England can demand , by their offering to strike , conforme to the last Treatie , and have good reason to repugne , either to his indefinit soveraignity , or any further preheminence , for which nothing anterior to the said last Treaty , can in reason be obtruded ; so , his pressing them further , in this affair , is , both captious , and unjust , and he might upon as good grounds , refuse them the liberty , of a free passage in the channel , as exspect of them a consent , to adominion , which if not cautioned , by a particular explication , might assuredly be thereto extended . And here lyes the great discovery , the right of the Flage is all , that is drectly pretended ; but , dominion of the narrow seas , under the colour of a sophistical equipollency , is the thing mainely intended : I shall not repeat what I have above adduced , for distinguishing , this prerogative , from the dominion aimed at , and explicating this whole matter ; but as his Majesties covert insinuation , doth aboundantly verify , even his own diffidence , of his absurd and insupportable claime ; so , if we go about , thus to renverse nature , and subvert humane liberty , the Dutch are the first ; but neither the greatest , nor the last enemy , which we are to apprehend : As to the license to fish , here instanced ; since I cannot set down what is truth , in matter of fact , considering the confidence , wherewith it is asserted , without a reflexion , which I by choice forbeare , I leave that to the Stats their vindication : But , suppose it had been sought , and graunted , within that space of distance , from our coast , which the positive law of nations , and consent of mankinde , hath in a manner every where appropriat , to the countreyes respectively adjacent , it signifieth nothing to his Majestie 's purpose : What is then the Dutch their ingratitude , and insolence , that provoks his Majesty , to an exclamation ? let all men judge : It 's said , they owe their being and wealth to our protection and valour :
