because_o the_o enemy_n do_v in_o very_o short_a space_n wax_v very_o strong_a and_o mighty_a by_o the_o great_a conquest_n that_o he_o make_v both_o by_o sea_n and_o by_o land_n by_o mean_n whereof_o

unto_o it_o the_o second_o because_o the_o empire_n of_o persia_n have_v no_o fence_a city_n that_o be_v able_a to_o hold_v out_o or_o maintain_v themselves_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o as_o van_n be_v one_o it_o be_v because_o they_o know_v not_o how_o to_o find_v the_o mean_n either_o to_o maintain_v or_o to_o recover_v themselves_o and_o who_o know_v not_o that_o the_o country_n lie_v open_a without_o any_o resistance_n not_o only_o the_o huge_a force_n of_o the_o turk_n but_o also_o far_o less_o force_n have_v be_v able_a to_o work_v these_o mischief_n yea_o and_o far_o great_a than_o these_o be_v the_o three_o be_v the_o conquest_n of_o all_o art_n that_o the_o turk_n have_v make_v in_o the_o win_n and_o subdue_a of_o so_o many_o christian_n city_n which_o be_v replenish_v with_o all_o kind_n of_o diligent_a study_n &_o art_n by_o which_o conquest_n the_o turk_n have_v not_o only_o learned_a to_o use_v his_o wont_a and_o native_a weapon_n after_o a_o more_o mortal_a and_o deadly_a manner_n but_o also_o have_v invent_v new_a to_o the_o great_a astonishment_n &_o terror_n of_o his_o enemy_n who_o have_v not_o only_o neglect_v to_o make_v use_n of_o foreign_a instruction_n and_o to_o learn_v the_o true_a mean_n to_o increase_v his_o own_o force_n but_o as_o it_o be_v contemn_v all_o other_o man_n wit_n have_v think_v himself_o alone_o able_a to_o teach_v and_o instruct_v other_o and_o this_o be_v that_o haultinesse_n and_o ambitious_a conceit_n of_o the_o persian_a who_o in_o this_o present_a misery_n of_o his_o own_o vaunt_v &_o brag_v of_o great_a
