The History of the Spanish Armada, which had been preparing three years for the invasion and conquest of England, and which in the year 1588 came upon the English Coast to effect it. Containing the truest and most particular lists ever yet published, of its ships, land forces, mariners, guns, ammunition, and military stores of all sorts. And also of the land forces raised, as well as the ships fitted out by Queen Elizabeth, and her nobility and gentry, for the defence of this realm. Concluding with a summary account of the defeat and distress of that mighty armament, which the spaniards boasted to be invincible, but which divine providence, and the bravery of the English commanders in the channel, proved to be no more so than the Popes, who gave their blessing to King Philip, and their curse to Queen Elizabeth, were infallible. To which is prefixed, a map of the beacons then erected in Kent.
