AS CONCERNING SHIPS
It is that which everyone knoweth and can say
They are our Weapons
They are our Armaments
They are our Strength
They are our Pleasures
They are our Defence
They are our Profit
The Subject by them is made rich
The Kingdom through them, strong
The Prince in them is mighty
In a word: By them in a manner we live
The Kingdom is, the King reigneth.
(From The Trades Increase, London, 1615)
