king_n of_o macaedonia_n father_n to_o alexander_n the_o great_a to_o oppress_v and_o to_o bring_v they_o in_o servitude_n under_o his_o subjection_n i_o can_v allege_v many_o more_o which_o have_v be_v suppress_v only_o for_o lack_v of_o the_o use_n of_o warlike_a weapon_n and_o think_v themselves_o to_o be_v in_o most_o security_n and_o peace_n as_o the_o assyrian_n persian_n athenian_n &_o such_o like_a and_o the_o city_n of_o rome_n which_o may_v have_v be_v perpetual_a but_o think_v themselves_o in_o peace_n and_o fall_v to_o inordinate_a riot_n and_o pastime_n not_o doubt_v nor_o fear_v any_o thing_n which_o be_v hurtful_a unto_o they_o or_o their_o commonweal_n which_o thing_n be_v to_o their_o great_a ruin_n and_o overthrow_v even_o so_o where_o overmuch_o liberty_n be_v give_v man_n may_v be_v tread_v down_o under_o foot_n and_o bring_v to_o most_o horrible_a misery_n &_o calamity_n if_o they_o give_v themselves_o only_o to_o pastime_n &_o pleasure_n and_o forsake_v the_o use_n and_o exercise_v of_o warlike_a weapon_n which_o be_v the_o defence_n both_o of_o prince_n country_n religion_n justice_n law_n and_o subject_n the_o which_o be_v altogether_o maintain_v and_o protect_v by_o arm_n only_o and_o therefore_o the_o most_o famous_a conqueror_n and_o mighty_a captain_n do_v devise_v with_o most_o diligence_n all_o manner_n of_o way_n to_o bring_v their_o man_n to_o be_v perfect_a in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o all_o manner_n of_o thing_n appertain_v to_o the_o war_n as_o manifest_o appear_v by_o the_o warlike_a game_n which_o the_o prince_n of_o grecia_n ordain_v upon_o the_o mount_n olympus_n and_o also_o by_o the_o order_n and_o exercise_n that_o the_o ancient_a roman_n use_v in_o sundry_a place_n and_o special_o in_o campo_n martio_n and_o in_o their_o sumptuous_a theater_n which_o chief_o they_o build_v for_o that_o purpose_n whereby_o they_o make_v their_o soldier_n of_o such_o experience_n that_o they_o obtain_v with_o small_a company_n in_o fight_n against_o a_o great_a multitude_n of_o enemy_n such_o wonderful_a and_o marvellous_a victory_n as_o in_o many_o credible_a history_n be_v mention_v and_o also_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n their_o straggle_a people_n which_o follow_v the_o camp_n get_v such_o understanding_n in_o those_o action_n of_o arm_n that_o they_o in_o the_o day_n of_o battle_n be_v lest_o destitute_a of_o succour_n be_v able_a without_o any_o other_o help_n to_o set_v themselves_o in_o good_a order_n of_o battle_n for_o their_o own_o defence_n against_o the_o enemy_n and_o in_o such_o time_n of_o service_n they_o have_v do_v their_o country_n great_a service_n so_o that_o the_o antiquity_n esteem_v nothing_o more_o happy_a then_o to_o have_v the_o country_n full_a of_o man_n of_o understanding_n and_o knowledge_n in_o warlike_a action_n and_o martial_a discipline_n which_o thing_n be_v least_o regard_v in_o this_o realm_n &_o most_o need_n of_o it_o for_o that_o we_o have_v so_o many_o evil_a &_o pestiferous_a enemy_n round_o about_o we_o which_o be_v ready_a continual_o if_o opportunity_n serve_v they_o to_o work_v our_o ruin_n and_o decay_v wherefore_o stir_v up_o yourselves_o every_o man_n with_o courage_n and_o boldness_n of_o mind_n to_o the_o exercise_n of_o your_o warlike_a weapon_n which_o be_v honourable_a and_o most_o worthy_a to_o be_v prefer_v before_o all_o exercise_n for_o the_o use_n here_o of_o be_v lay_v aside_o breed_v more_o sedition_n and_o war_n then_o if_o they_o be_v daily_o have_v in_o use_n &_o so_o perfect_o practise_v for_o experience_n in_o service_n do_v much_o more_o prevail_v than_o many_o multitude_n of_o people_n be_v without_o understanding_n and_o knowledge_n in_o this_o most_o honourable_a service_n wherefore_o since_o the_o necessity_n of_o this_o service_n of_o war_n and_o martial_a exercise_n be_v so_o great_a and_o also_o the_o necessary_a use_n of_o they_o so_o manifest_a that_o even_o peace_n herself_o in_o manner_n do_v challenge_v her_o chief_a defence_n &_o protection_n such_o be_v the_o worthiness_n of_o martial_a exercise_n for_o as_o by_o proof_n we_o see_v that_o the_o glory_n thereof_o can_v easy_o find_v root_n but_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o such_o most_o worthy_a man_n which_o continual_o exercise_v themselves_o in_o these_o warlike_a weapon_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o their_o prince_n &_o country_n and_o also_o for_o their_o own_o honour_n and_o magnanimity_n wherefore_o these_o exercise_n be_v of_o such_o force_n which_o bring_v all_o those_o that_o exercise_v the_o same_o to_o such_o honour_n and_o fame_n both_o of_o prince_n and_o country_n that_o i_o will_v in_o hart_n that_o all_o english_a man_n may_v show_v their_o good_a will_n in_o the_o exercise_n thereof_o but_o have_v so_o few_o man_n of_o experience_n in_o these_o day_n we_o see_v that_o every_o one_o have_v serve_v but_o a_o year_n or_o two_o it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n nay_o if_o he_o but_o cross_v the_o sea_n and_o make_v his_o abode_n but_o one_o month_n he_o be_v account_v a_o soldier_n but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o have_v serve_v these_o sixteen_o year_n in_o ireland_n and_o in_o the_o low_a country_n and_o have_v see_v many_o piece_n of_o service_n in_o both_o place_n and_o yet_o i_o dare_v not_o account_v myself_o a_o soldier_n for_o the_o name_n of_o a_o soldier_n be_v most_o honourable_a and_o those_o that_o bear_v the_o name_n or_o title_n thereof_o shall_v be_v man_n of_o understanding_n and_o knowledge_n and_o well_o experience_v in_o war_n &_o martial_a discipline_n do_v we_o not_o find_v in_o many_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n both_o in_o the_o book_n of_o moses_n in_o the_o book_n number_n in_o the_o book_n of_o josua_n and_o in_o diverse_a other_o place_n of_o the_o scripture_n where_o they_o use_v no_o little_a regard_n not_o only_o in_o choose_v of_o their_o captain_n and_o leader_n but_o as_o well_o in_o prescribe_v of_o law_n and_o martial_a discipline_n of_o war_n the_o which_o in_o time_n past_a be_v appoint_v by_o the_o almighty_a god_n himself_o moreover_o promise_v gift_n to_o those_o which_o can_v persuade_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n as_o by_o example_n in_o the_o book_n of_o number_n as_o i_o remember_v in_o the_o fourteen_o chapter_n how_o god_n promise_v with_o his_o own_o mouth_n to_o reward_n caleb_n for_o his_o constancy_n &_o courageous_a persuasion_n to_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o david_n be_v a_o man_n of_o small_a account_n among_o the_o great_a warrior_n yet_o for_o his_o worthiness_n and_o famous_a behaviour_n in_o kill_v and_o overthrow_v goliath_n what_o great_a riches_n and_o reward_n receive_v he_o with_o the_o daughter_n of_o king_n saul_n but_o in_o england_n we_o never_o consider_v neither_o of_o his_o action_n nor_o of_o his_o knowledge_n and_o experience_n but_o most_o common_o our_o captain_n be_v choose_v more_o for_o favour_n then_o for_o knowledge_n more_o for_o friendship_n then_o for_o experience_n for_o if_o they_o have_v a_o good_a opinion_n in_o he_o they_o never_o consider_v his_o desert_n whether_o he_o be_v a_o man_n able_a to_o discharge_v his_o place_n or_o no._n but_o i_o have_v no_o doubt_n that_o every_o manshalbe_n hereafter_o better_o look_v unto_o both_o for_o their_o knowledge_n as_o also_o for_o their_o experience_n &_o desert_n and_o varro_n say_v there_o be_v three_o thing_n not_o to_o be_v suffer_v a_o wise_a man_n under_o the_o governaunce_n of_o a_o fool_n a_o liberal_a man_n in_o subjection_n to_o a_o caitiff_n and_o a_o fool_n set_v in_o authority_n wherefore_o it_o be_v most_o common_o see_v where_o good_a order_n &_o governaunce_n fail_v obedience_n decay_v boldness_n increase_v deceit_n escape_v injury_n prevail_v avarice_n corrupt_v and_o the_o estate_n of_o a_o weal_n public_a soon_o after_o decay_v but_o lest_o i_o shall_v offend_v i_o will_v conclude_v with_o a_o few_o other_o example_n as_o in_o spain_n in_o france_n in_o the_o low_a country_n and_o many_o other_o place_n what_o great_a intention_n be_v among_o their_o prince_n &_o governor_n the_o which_o be_v a_o great_a peril_n and_o a_o endanger_n to_o their_o prince_n and_o their_o common_a wealth_n &_o country_n in_o a_o evil_a and_o dangerous_a estate_n wherefore_o let_v we_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n for_o give_v we_o so_o love_v and_o gracious_a a_o princess_n who_o forsee_v such_o evil_a intention_n lest_o they_o shall_v breed_v to_o such_o inconvenient_a sore_n which_o may_v not_o be_v cure_v for_o her_o majesty_n consider_v that_o the_o strength_n of_o her_o realm_n be_v the_o friendship_n and_o love_n of_o her_o people_n and_o marcus_n aurelius_n say_v that_o prince_n live_v more_o safe_o in_o gather_v to_o
