eyond the Isles of Orkney, the Place being above 60 Leagues North
Latitude (as already mentioned) a very unaccustomed climate for the
Young Gallants of Spain, who did never before feel Storms on the Sea
nor cold weather in August. And about those Northern Islands their
Mariners and Soldiers died daily by Multitudes, as by their Bodies cast
on land did appear. And after twenty Days or more, having passed their
Time in great Miseries, they being desirous to return Home to Spain,
sailed very far Southward into the Ocean to recover Spain.

"But the Almighty, who always avenges the Cause of his afflicted People
who put their Confidence in Him, and brings down his Enemies who exalt
