Of the same fashion he had provided 200. other vessels at Neiuport, but not so great. And at Dunkerk hee procured 28. ships of warre, such as were there to be had, and caused a sufficient number of Mariners to be levied at Hamburgh, Breme , Emden , and at other places.

The same day & the day folowing we met with some other ships, whom (when after some conference had with them, we perceived plainly to bee of Roterodam and Emden , bound for Rochell) we dismissed. The 28 and 29 dayes we met divers of our English ships, returning from the Portugall voiage which my lord relieved with victuals. The 13 day of July being Sonday in the morning, we espied 11 ships without sight of ye coast of Spaine, in the height of 39 degrees, whom wee presently prepared for, & provided to meet them, having first set forth captaine Mounson in the Meg, before us, to descry whence they were.

in their favor the North Sea, forming the third side, and that consequently they had only to gain the side Bd by manoeuvres, in order to be masters of the four faces, that is to say, the base and all the communications of the enemy, as the above figure shows. The French Army E, departing from the base Cd, to gain the front of operations Fgh, cut off the allied Army J, from the side Bd, which formed its base; this latter would then have been thrown back upon the angle L, A, M, formed near Emden, by the lines of the Rhine, the Ems and the North Sea; whilst the French army, E, could always communicate with its bases of the Main and Rhine. The manoeuvre of Napoleon upon the Saale in 1806, was combined absolutely in the same manner; he occupied at Jena and at Naumburg the line Fgh, and marched afterwards by Halle and Dessau, in order to throw back the Prussian Army J, upon the side Ab, formed by the sea. The result is sufficiently well known. The great art of directing properly o
