Note

"Two books : in the first, is shew'd, that the sea, by the law of nature, or nations, is not common to all men, but capable of private dominion or proprietie [sic], as well as the land : in the second, is proved, that the dominion of the British sea, or that which incompasseth the isle of Great Britain, is, and ever hath been, a part or appendant of the empire of that island : written at first in Latin and entituled [sic], Mare clausum, seu, De dominio maris."

Originally published: London : William Du-Gard, 1652
