name_n i_o must_v cover_v both_o your_o kinswoman_n and_o your_o own_o greatness_n and_o to_o you_o in_o this_o epistle_n give_v a_o brief_a account_n of_o those_o especial_a motive_n which_o have_v stir_v i_o up_o to_o undertake_v and_o perform_v this_o labour_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o it_o be_v here_o though_o blunt_o and_o plain_o yet_o with_o all_o truth_n and_o care_n faithful_o effect_v i_o must_v confess_v i_o neither_o expect_v nor_o wish_v for_o great_a privilege_n than_o other_o have_v find_v which_o have_v run_v before_o i_o in_o tract_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n but_o ever_o stand_v ready_a to_o receive_v the_o battery_n of_o censure_n and_o opinion_n only_o from_o the_o dare_a ignorant_a pray_v hearty_o for_o some_o help_n and_o assistance_n for_o they_o never_o hold_v fair_a quarter_n but_o still_o carry_v poison_n in_o their_o weapon_n whereas_o judgement_n and_o learning_n be_v ever_o noble_a and_o like_a achilles_n if_o they_o hurt_v yet_o cure_v again_o in_o the_o same_o instant_n i_o think_v i_o hear_v one_o question_n how_o a_o man_n unlearned_a and_o have_v spend_v so_o long_a a_o time_n in_o the_o war_n can_v find_v leisure_n to_o arm_v himself_o for_o other_o instruction_n or_o how_o where_o few_o or_o no_o book_n be_v yet_o book_n shall_v thus_o be_v daily_o create_v another_o object_n how_o i_o have_v attain_v no_o great_a place_n than_o the_o title_n of_o private_a captain_n can_v find_v out_o rule_n by_o which_o to_o direct_v and_o govern_v more_o public_a and_o powerful_a officer_n and_o the_o last_o though_o not_o the_o least_o in_o the_o bundle_n of_o envy_n demand_v how_o i_o dare_v profess_v this_o trade_n of_o make_v booke-souldior_n as_o if_o the_o art_n of_o war_n be_v not_o better_o attain_v by_o practice_n than_o contemplation_n to_o all_o which_o i_o must_v return_v this_o one_o joint_n and_o entire_a answer_n first_o it_o be_v not_o unknown_a to_o those_o which_o best_a know_v i_o that_o i_o be_v ever_o a_o lover_n of_o the_o muse_n and_o as_o i_o spend_v my_o summer_n progress_n in_o the_o war_n so_o i_o consume_v my_o winter_n quiet_a in_o the_o wholesome_a delight_n of_o foreign_a academy_n and_o if_o i_o be_v any_o way_n short_a in_o scholarlike_a perfection_n questionless_a the_o defect_n proceed_v much_o rather_o from_o my_o own_o dulness_n than_o desire_v to_o rest_v at_o that_o point_n which_o may_v in_o some_o sort_n express_v i_o a_o scholar_n thirty_o and_o odd_a year_n i_o have_v spend_v abroad_o in_o these_o employment_n and_o sure_o the_o prenticeship_n be_v so_o sufficient_a that_o a_o very_a dull_a mechanic_n may_v in_o that_o space_n have_v write_v himself_o master_n of_o his_o occupation_n and_o the_o great_a truant_n much_o soon_o a_o willing_a mind_n may_v without_o wonder_n in_o that_o time_n attain_v to_o the_o high_a degree_n in_o the_o grave_a study_n and_o questionless_a this_o i_o must_v say_v for_o the_o war_n that_o even_o in_o garrison_n and_o camp_n i_o have_v profit_v more_o by_o conference_n with_o noble_a spirit_n than_o by_o any_o private_a meditation_n though_o pen_v with_o the_o great_a lustre_n so_o that_o join_v together_o practice_n and_o observation_n have_v i_o be_v dull_a than_o malice_n can_v wish_v i_o yet_o i_o can_v not_o but_o have_v make_v much_o use_n of_o my_o deserve_n and_o find_v it_o honestum_fw-la utile_fw-la

of_o man_n which_o never_o see_v the_o war_n pass_v with_o that_o applause_n and_o reverence_n that_o i_o imagine_v although_o my_o survey_v be_v never_o so_o little_a yet_o i_o may_v more_o free_o
