the Princes of the several Nations of that World, she
desired that their Ships might fall back, which being
done, her own Fleet came into the Circle, without
any visible assistance of Sails or Tide; and her self being

into the bottom of the Seas, and left all the
Spectators in a deep amazement; neither would she
suffer any of her Ships to come above the Waters until
she arrived into the Blazing-world.

in their minds, fancies or imaginations. But if they cannot endure to be subjects, they may
create worlds of their own and govern themselves as they please.
