how_o to_o levy_v soldier_n and_o to_o enroll_v they_o and_o the_o quality_n that_o be_v requisite_a to_o be_v in_o a_o new_a soldier_n the_o 3._o chapter_n to_o levy_v the_o aforesaid_a number_n of_o 25._o thousand_o soldier_n it_o shall_v be_v first_o necessary_a to_o consider_v in_o what_o country_n the_o say_a levy_n shall_v be_v make_v and_o withal_o it_o behove_v to_o name_v the_o captain_n that_o shall_v govern_v they_o unto_o which_o captain_n the_o say_v country_n must_v be_v assign_v either_o by_o bishopricke_n or_o stewardship_n where_o every_o one_o of_o they_o ought_v to_o levy_v his_o man_n by_o themselves_o and_o this_o do_v they_o may_v be_v send_v unto_o the_o place_n with_o their_o commission_n which_o shall_v be_v address_v unto_o some_o notable_a personage_n of_o the_o

unto_o the_o tenor_n of_o his_o commission_n compel_v all_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o town_n and_o village_n under_o their_o charge_n to_o show_v themselves_o before_o he_o and_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v do_v not_o touch_v they_o that_o be_v exempt_v from_o such_o public_a service_n by_o the_o law_n or_o by_o express_a privilege_n as_o churchman_n gentleman_n royal_a officer_n and_o

then_o pay_v the_o reckon_n which_o may_v be_v inroul_v in_o the_o king_n book_n the_o service_n of_o who_o ought_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o a_o particular_a profit_n for_o this_o levy_n be_v not_o only_o profitable_a unto_o the_o king_n but_o also_o most_o necessary_a for_o all_o his_o subject_n for_o that_o we_o have_v not_o the_o worth_n of_o one_o hair_n well_o assure_v without_o arm_n because_o that_o stranger_n be_v rather_o like_a to_o hurt_v then_o help_v we_o without_o who_o aid_n have_v no_o soldier_n of_o our_o own_o we_o shall_v at_o all_o time_n be_v eat_v and_o torment_v by_o our_o neighbour_n sith_o then_o that_o arm_n be_v so_o necessary_a for_o we_o as_o that_o we_o can_v be_v without_o they_o who_o be_v he_o that_o will_v have_v all_o set_v at_o six_o and_o seven_o we_o may_v exercise_v arm_n and_o yet_o not_o leave_v our_o own_o business_n undo_v because_o the_o soldier_n may_v be_v bind_v to_o assemble_v only_o upon_o idle_a day_n to_o practice_v their_o arm_n together_o which_o will_v neither_o be_v hurtful_a unto_o the_o people_n nor_o country_n but_o rather_o recreate_v young_a man_n that_o otherwise_o spend_v their_o time_n upon_o holiday_n in_o run_v to_o the_o tavern_n for_o want_v of_o other_o honest_a pastime_n especial_o the_o exercise_n of_o arm_n whereunto_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o will_v go_v more_o willing_o for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o great_a pleasure_n unto_o the_o beholder_n to_o see_v the_o manage_n of_o arm_n so_o likewise_o will_v it_o great_o delight_v young_a man_n to_o handle_v and_o to_o exercise_v they_o moreover_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o new_a a_o thing_n but_o that_o the_o like_a have_v be_v heretofore_o use_v in_o france_n to_o weet_v the_o exercise_v of_o arm_n throughout_o the_o town_n and_o village_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o prize_v set_v up_o for_o the_o best_a deserver_n and_o therefore_o my_o say_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v think_v strange_a nor_o hurtful_a for_o i_o speak_v not_o of_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v not_o be_v before_o ordain_v by_o the_o king_n of_o france_n and_o in_o our_o time_n by_o the_o king_n that_o reign_v at_o this_o present_a but_o leave_v that_o aside_o let_v we_o say_v that_o in_o the_o election_n of_o the_o people_n here_o speak_v of_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o regard_n have_v of_o their_o age_n we_o must_v choose_v they_o then_o
