whereby_o they_o shall_v attain_v it_o for_o all_o the_o proof_n that_o have_v be_v make_v as_o yet_o by_o englishmen_n be_v no_o proof_n but_o altogether_o to_o cause_v they_o that_o do_v see_v the_o

furthermore_o whereas_o this_o book_n be_v nam●_n the_o art_n of_o shoot_v in_o great_a ordnaunce_v so_o in_o like_a manner_n i_o think_v it_o convenient_a to_o show_v you_o what_o the_o word_n art_n mean_v or_o signify_v which_o be_v the_o describe_v of_o a_o way_n or_o method_n how_o to_o atteyne_v to_o the_o certainty_n of_o any_o matter_n which_o as_o hitherunto_o i_o have_v not_o see_v any_o such_o book_n although_o it_o have_v be_v very_o near_o two_o hundred_o year_n since_o the_o first_o invention_n of_o ordnaunce_v and_o except_o there_o be_v any_o better_a book_n in_o some_o man_n hand_n such_o as_o i_o have_v not_o see_v as_o it_o be_v like_a enough_o that_o there_o may_v be_v there_o be_v no_o art_n in_o any_o of_o they_o yet_o i_o have_v see_v a_o number_n of_o book_n that_o have_v be_v write_v concern_v ordnance_n but_o sure_o they_o that_o write_v they_o be_v not_o see_v in_o any_o part_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o mathematical_a science_n neither_o good_a machanisians_n but_o in_o respect_n utter_o void_a of_o any_o science_n in_o comparison_n no_o good_a order_n describe_v in_o the_o shoot_n of_o ordnaunce_v to_o know_v what_o distance_n the_o shot_n be_v deliver_v from_o the_o piece_n neither_o have_v they_o know_v what_o instrument_n have_v mean_v and_o although_o they_o have_v name_v degree_n in_o their_o book_n yet_o it_o appear_v unto_o i_o that_o they_o have_v not_o knowledge_n what_o a_o degree_n signify_v for_o that_o they_o have_v name_v a_o quadrant_n a_o triangle_n and_o other_o food_n and_o foolish_a by_o name_n wherefore_o they_o that_o have_v write_v those_o book_n that_o the_o gunner_n have_v among_o they_o be_v utter_o unlearned_a in_o any_o manner_n of_o science_n which_o be_v in_o the_o beginning_n in_o the_o time_n of_o king_n henry_n y_fw-fr e_o eight_o make_v by_o fleming_n for_o in_o the_o war_n in_o those_o day_n the_o king_n send_v over_o into_o flaunders_n and_o those_o part_n thereabouts_o to_o have_v gunner_n to_o serve_v he_o in_o the_o war_n &_o the_o gunner_n have_v no_o other_o book_n but_o such_o as_o be_v write_v by_o they_o wherefore_o i_o do_v think_v it_o good_a to_o show_v unto_o you_o what_o a_o degree_n be_v a_o degree_n be_v a_o part_n or_o division_n of_o a_o whole_a circle_n into_o 360._o equal_a part_n as_o the_o the_o ancient_a father_n aforetime_o have_v teach_v and_o especial_o in_o astronomy_n and_o it_o be_v very_o profitable_a for_o gunner_n to_o know_v the_o use_n of_o they_o the_o quadrant_n that_o they_o do_v occupy_v be_v the_o four_o part_n of_o a_o circle_n divide_v into_o 90._o equal_a part_n according_a unto_o y_fw-fr e_fw-la four_o part_n of_o the_o heaven_n for_o the_o zen_v or_o prick_n in_o the_o heaven_n over_o the_o crown_n of_o your_o head_n down_o to_o the_o horizon_n be_v divide_v into_o 90._o equal_a part_n according_a unto_o the_o quadrant_n as_o for_o example_n if_o there_o be_v a_o perpendicular_a line_n let_v down_o out_o of_o the_o heaven_n unto_o the_o earth_n then_o shall_v the_o earth_n be_v a_o right_a line_n and_o make_v a_o square_a angle_n unto_o the_o further_a part_n of_o the_o horizon_n that_o you_o can_v see_v and_o so_o pass_v unto_o the_o heaven_n as_o do_v the_o quadrant_n and_o then_o the_o best_a of_o the_o rander_n be_v 45._o of_o these_o devision_n call_v degree_n as_o some_o man_n opinion_n have_v be_v and_o that_o be_v half_a 90._o and_o the_o say_v 45._o degree_n be_v the_o best_a of_o the_o rander_n in_o some_o case_n and_o that_o be_v with_o the_o wind_n but_o otherwise_o it_o be_v not_o as_o it_o be_v further_o declare_v in_o the_o 5._o chapter_n and_o for_o better_a example_n i_o have_v place_v this_o figure_n chapter_n 7._o how_o to_o make_v a_o shot_n upon_o the_o right_a line_n and_o also_o to_o know_v how_o much_o ground_n any_o piece_n of_o ordnaunce_v do_v drive_v or_o convey_v the_o shot_n at_o the_o mount_n of_o every_o degree_n of_o the_o rander_n furthermore_o any_o piece_n of_o ordnaunce_v be_v true_o disparted_a as_o be_v declare_v in_o the_o four_o chapter_n they_o may_v know_v at_o all_o time_n how_o for_o to_o shoot_v just_a unto_o the_o mark_n especial_o within_o point_n blank_a &_o point_v blank_a be_v the_o direct_a flee_v of_o the_o shot_n without_o any_o descend_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o piece_n unto_o the_o mark_n y_z e_z mouth_n of_o the_o piece_n to_o stand_v direct_o with_o the_o horizon_n so_o that_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o plain_a and_o level_a ground_n as_o far_z as_o y_z e_z piece_n may_v cast_v hyt_v any_o thing_n that_o stand_v direct_o as_o high_a as_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o piece_n lay_v the_o hollow_a or_o concavitie_n of_o the_o piece_n against_o the_o thing_n that_o you_o do_v shoot_v at_o etc._n etc._n and_o to_o shoot_v at_o any_o mark_n upon_o the_o right_a line_n you_o shall_v do_v it_o by_o this_o mean_n your_o piece_n be_v true_o disparted_a and_o the_o dispart_v set_v upon_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o piece_n bring_v the_o middle_n of_o the_o tail_n of_o the_o piece_n to_o the_o top_n of_o your_o disparte_n upon_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o piece_n and_o the_o mark_n that_o you_o do_v shoot_v at_o all_o three_o upon_o one_o right_a line_n by_o the_o sight_n of_o one_o of_o your_o eye_n and_o then_o foresee_v that_o the_o piece_n stand_v upon_o a_o level_a ground_n and_o the_o one_o wheel_n to_o be_v as_o nimble_a as_o the_o other_o this_o do_v there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o you_o may_v shoot_v as_o near_o the_o mark_n with_o a_o cannon_n as_o with_o a_o hargabus_n or_o caliver_n this_o be_v most_o certain_a therefore_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a to_o know_v how_o far_o any_o piece_n will_v convey_v the_o shot_n upon_o the_o right_a line_n &_o that_o be_v somewhat_o hard_a to_o do_v for_o there_o be_v seldom_o any_o ground_n but_o be_v high_o in_o one_o place_n than_o in_o another_o and_o then_o if_o the_o piece_n shall_v be_v lay_v close_o unto_o the_o ground_n it_o will_v graze_v before_o that_o it_o be_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o right_a line_n and_o then_o if_o the_o piece_n be_v in_o her_o carriage_n the_o shot_n will_v not_o graze_v before_o that_o it_o be_v descend_v as_o much_o as_o the_o height_n of_o the_o carriage_n and_o for_o to_o set_v up_o any_o thing_n certain_a at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o right_a line_n it_o be_v too_o tedious_a therefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o best_a way_n in_o the_o find_n what_o distance_n any_o piece_n convay_v or_o drive_v the_o shot_n upon_o the_o right_a line_n or_o any_o degree_n of_o the_o rander_n as_o thus_o repair_v unto_o a_o very_a level_a ground_n as_o a_o plain_a marish_a that_o be_v just_a water_n level_v and_o then_o to_o find_v the_o right_a line_n or_o point_v blank_a raise_v a_o butt_n or_o bank_n in_o that_o plain_a ground_n and_o then_o set_v uppe_o a_o mark_n the_o just_a height_n of_o the_o piece_n that_o lie_v in_o the_o carriage_n and_o take_v a_o quadrant_a with_o a_o rule_n fast_o thereunto_o and_o put_v the_o rule_n into_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o piece_n and_o coin_v the_o breech_n of_o the_o piece_n up_o and_o down_o until_o the_o plummet_n hang_v at_o the_o corner_n of_o the_o quadrant_n and_o then_o shall_v the_o concavitie_n of_o the_o piece_n lie_v right_a with_o the_o horizon_n neither_o high_a nor_o low_o then_o shoot_v off_o the_o piece_n against_o the_o butt_n if_o the_o shot_n be_v under_o the_o mark_n it_o be_v more_o than_o the_o right_a line_n than_o you_o must_v bring_v the_o piece_n near_o unto_o the_o butt_n bank_n or_o mark_n but_o if_o it_o be_v the_o just_a height_n of_o the_o mark_n then_o remove_v the_o piece_n far_o off_o from_o the_o mark_n and_o so_o remove_v the_o piece_n for_o ward_n and_o backward_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o true_a right_a line_n of_o the_o piece_n by_o this_o order_n you_o may_v try_v the_o true_a right_a line_n of_o all_o manner_n of_o piece_n of_o ordnaunce_v and_o whereas_o the_o opinion_n of_o diverse_a gunner_n be_v the_o one_o contrary_a unto_o the_o other_o some_o hold_v a_o opinion_n that_o the_o long_a piece_n do_v overshoote_v the_o short_a and_o some_o that_o the_o short_a do_v overshoote_v the_o long_o the_o troth_n be_v that_o the_o long_a piece_n do_v shoot_v further_a than_o the_o
