An experimentall discoverie of Spanish practises, or, The counsell of a well-wishing souldier, for the good of his prince and state : wherein is manifested from known experience both the cruelty and policy of the Spaniard, to effect his own ends : chiefly swelling with multiplicity of glorious titles, as one of the greatest monarchs of the earth, that being admired of all, his greatnesse might amaze all, and so by degrees seeking covertly to tyrannize over all : when as indeed and truth, the greatest part of his pretended greatnesse is but a windy crack of an ambitious minde.
