  A vindication of a national-fishery wherein is asserted that the glory, wealth, strength, safety, and happiness of this kingdom, with the flourishing of trade, and growth of navigation, as also the employing of the poor of this realm, doth depend (under God) upon a national-fishery : and all the general, vulgar, (tho' erroneous) objections against encouraging the fishery of England, answer'd, and confuted : to which is added the sovreignty of British-seas.

summary:
  Rich. 2. The Tribute called Danegelt , was paid in the time of the English Saxons , which amounted to four Shillings upon every Hide of Land , for the Defending the Dominion by Sea. Roger Hoverden asserteth it was paid until the Reign of King Stephen ; and in the Parliament Records of King Richard the Second , it is Observable that a Custom was Imposed upon every thing that passed thro' the Northern Admiralty ; that is , from the , Thames along the Eastern-Shoar of England , towards the North-East , for the Maintaining a Guard for the Seas . And beyond all Dispute , the Fishery of England , is the Main Trade of this Kingdom , rightly Managed ; The good Patriots of our Country are to weigh the Matter : And it is so comprehensive a Blessing , that were those Advantages but Industriously improved , that Providence hath bestowed on this Island , we might consequently be the most Flourishing People in the whole World , both by Sea and Land. And seeing by the Decay of the Fishing Trade , we have lain open to France , and Holland , by neglecting our own Preservation , and ill Management of the Fishery amongst our selves , it may be supposed , it is high time to look to it .

The jurisdiction , albeit it bee most faithfully and diligently exercised , and namely in England by Sir Daniel Dunn , and Doctor Trevor , most learned , sincere , and worthy collegues , Iudges in the high court there : yet the daily thwarting and curbing of the processe of the Iudicature , urges a clearing or designing of the limits and marches , to a better distinguishing thereof from all other jurisdictions ordinary ; without which , due justice can neither be administred , concerning the sea customes ( of which no court else can take knowledge ) for strangers traffiquing here ( importing no small staine to the King his justice ) nor yet for his M. lieges traffiquers on sea , whose contracts and charter-parties ordinarily beare the clause of ruling by law of Olero● ; a forraine law , as all the other lawes of the Admirall court commonly are , whereof no other Iudicature here can take cognissance .

  His Majesties propriety and dominion on the Brittish seas asserted together with a true account of the Neatherlanders insupportable insolencies and injuries they have committed, and the inestimable benefits they have gained in their fishing on the English seas : as also their prodigious and horrid cruelties in the East and West-Indies, and other places : to which is added an exact mapp, containing the isles of Great Brittain and Ireland, with the several coastings, and the adjacent parts of our neighbours / by an experienced hand.

summary:
  THe Combinations and Endeavours of the States General of the United Provinces against His Majesty , and this Nation have been so insupportably Insolent , that the Parliament not long since , upon the Cry of the whole Nation , did sollicite him to take some extraordinary way to give Redress unto his Subjects for the many and daily Injuries they sustained from them by their Depredations at Sea , for the Horrid and Barbarous Cruelties inflicted on them in the East and West-Indies , which being as odious in their Nature , as they are remarkable in their Number , have been the onely Cause that these pains are taken to give a general satisfaction to the World , by exhibiting this Brief , but most true Account of His Majesties Undoubted Right , and sole Propriety in the English , Scottish , and the Irish Seas : A truth as Antient , as it is Eminent , and not only held forth and attested by the Laws of our Land , and the Records of the Tower , and the High Courts of Parliament , but heretofore confessed also by divers of their own Nation , as in this Book you shall find it faithfully represented to you ; And that the Dominion of the Seas , is properly in the Power and Jurisdiction of the King , may appear by those Tributes and Customes that were Imposed and Payed for the Guard and Protection of them ; The Tribute called the Danegeld , was paid in the Time of the English Saxons , which amounted to four shillings upon every Hide of Land , for the defending of the Dominion by Sea. Roger Houerden affirmeth , that this was paid until the Time of King Stephen .

summary:
  Reader , it seems something difficult to determine whether the Sophistication of Truths , or the Fucus of Errors hath of late years been the more Epidemical cheat in Print , it being sufficiently notorious how that adulterous generation went a whoring after the Press , and what a noisome spawn of illegitimate Brats were then generated of the froth of the brain , not less numerous then spurious , that neither their male-content Parents , nor Religion , Law , Reason , nor Charity are able to maintain . He that writes Politicks without prefixing his Principles , comes short of his Duty ; But he that writes Law without quoting his Authority , presumes beyond his Line ; he that blushes to be ingenious , is ashamed of his own modesty ; Plato borrowed many things from Pythagoras ; Aristotle from Plato , and Theophrastus from Aristotle ; This Treatise hath borrowed nothing but what it intends to pay , here 's the acknowledgement of the debt , full satisfaction with interest may be expected elsewhere , sufficient Caution being given in the subsequent Elenchus of the Creditours .
