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)
