“La Reina de Inglaterra tiene más motivos para procurar la preservación de los Países Bajos en su antigua hacienda en obediencia a la casa de Borgoña que cualquier otro lugar ... Ahora, si los Países Bajos deberían ser sometidos a los españoles o poseídos por los franceses. , Inglaterra no puede continuar este tipo de liga. Porque si los españoles poseerán este país por conquista, como no pueden, entonces también deben gobernarlo como conquistadores, eso se construye en todos los países y ciudades especiales, fortalezas y castillos que se deben mantener y proteger con los españoles ... Para mantener estos el Rey debe continuar con los grandes impuestos ... y no habrá razón para detenerlo, pero establecerá qué impuesto escuchará sobre los productos de Inglaterra y así Inglaterra se volverá pobre para hacerlo rico. Y luego Inglaterra no tendrá remedio.”

William Cecil: Frases en inglés

“…for which I heartily thank you as she serveth me to great purpose. For she maketh my hunting very certain and speedy. She hath never failed me, for almost every day this week but brought me in the right way to a deer. And this last week she brought me to a stag which myself had stricken with my bow, being forced to the soil where, with the help of a greater water spaniel that forced him out of the water, your good brach helped to pluck him down.”

For ships of England, her Majesty is of her own proper ships so strong as the enemy shall not be able to land any power where her Majesty's navy shall be near to the enemy's navy. The ships of her subjects are also at this day both in number, in strength, in all captains and mariners, stronger than ever they were in memory of man.”

“The Queen of England has more cause to procure the preservation of the Low Countries in their ancient estate in the obedience of the house of Burgundy than any other place hath…Now if the Low Countries should either be subdued to the Spaniards or possessed by the French, England cannot continue this manner of league. For if the Spaniard shall possess this country by conquest, as otherwise they cannot, then must they also govern it as conquers—that is build in every country and special towns, forts and castles which must be kept and guarded with Spaniards…To maintain these the King must continue great taxes…and there will be no reason to stop him but he will set what tax he listeth upon the commodities of England and so shall England wax poor to make him rich. And then England will have no remedy.”
