The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
132
In
the
mean
time,
the
General
of
all
their
Naval
Forces,
sent
to
their
soveraign
to
acquaint
him
with
their
miraculous
Delivery
and
Conquest,
and
with
the
Empress's
design
of
making
him
the
most
powerful
Monarch
of
all
that
World.
After
a
short
time,
the
Empress
sent
her
self,
to
the
soveraign
of
that
Nation
to
know
in
what
she
could
be
serviceable
to
him;
who
returning
her
many
thanks,
both
for
her
assistance
against
his
Enemies,
and
her
kind
proffer
to
do
him
further
service
for
the
good
and
benefit
of
his
Nations
(for
he
was
King
over
several
Kingdoms)
sent
her
word,
that
although
she
did
partly
destroy
his
Enemies
by
Sea,
yet,
they
were
so
powerful,
that
they
did
hinder
the
Trade
and
Traffick
of
his
Dominions.
To
which
the
Empress
returned
this
answer,
That
she
would
burn
and
sink
all
those
Ships
that
would
not
pay
him
Tribute;
and
forthwith
sent
to
all
the
Neighbouring
Nations,
who
had
any
Traffick
by
Sea,
desiring
them
to
pay
Tribute
to
the
King
and
soveraign
of
that
Nation
where
she
was
born;
But
they
denied
it
with
great
scorn.
Whereupon,
she
immediately
commanded
her
Fish-men,
to
destroy
all
strangers
Ships
that
traffick'd
on
the
Seas;
which
they
did
according
to
the
Empress's
Command;
and
when
the
Neighbouring
Nations
and
Kingdoms
perceived
her
power,
they
were
so
discomposed
in
their
affairs
and
designs,
that
they
knew
not
what
to
do:
At
last
they
sent
to
the
Empress,
and
desired
to
treat
with
her,
but
could
get
no
other
conditions
then
to
submit
and
pay
Tribute
to
the
said
King
and
soveraign
of
her
Native
Country,
otherwise,
she
was
resolved
to
ruin
all
their
Trade
and
Traffick
by
burning
their
Ships.
Long
was
this
Treaty,
but
in
fine,
they
could
obtain
nothing,
so
that
at
last
they
were
inforced
to
submit;
by
which
the
King
of
the
mentioned
Nations
became
absolute
Master
of
the
Seas,
and
consequently
of
that
World;
by
reason,
as
I
mentioned
heretofore,
the
several
Nations
of
that
World
could
not
well
live
without
Traffick
and
Commerce,
by
Sea,
as
well
as
by
Land.
