His Maties Kingdomes, being Ilandes whose traffique is to be mainteyned by Navigation of strong and fortified Shipps, with nomber of able Marriners, being otherwise secluded from all comerce with those of the mayne continent from exporting and importing of Marchandize, the furniture of Shipping consisting in many things wch England wants, as Masts, pitch, Tarr, Rosen, and cordage, wch now we enioy by ye favor of forraigne Pottentates.

The life of Navigation consisteth in ffishermen to begett shipps and Marriners : in Marchants to breed and mainteyne them : and in Chieftaines to enable and encourage them: Otherwise, in Iland Kingdomes, the Citties, Burrowes, Port Townes, and Havens decay, wth all the whole people, where trade and traffique to proffitt is neglected.
