The horse is prepaired against the daye of battayle but the lord giueth the victorie PRINTED AT LONDON by Rouland Hall for Humfrey Toye dwelling in paules Churche yearde at the signe of the Helmette 1562 To the right honorable and HIS SINGVLER GOOD LORDE AND MAISTER syr Edwarde Fynes lorde Clynton and Say Knight of the order and highe Admirall of England and Ireland Iohn Shute wisheth longe life with increaceof godly honor FOR AS MVCHE RIGHTE HONORAble as the office of man standethe chyefely in two poyntes the one to serue God as he him selfe hathe appointed the other truely to serue his countrey and to wishe wel to the same in al that he mai I thought it good to turne into oure Englishe tonge these two Bokes folowing therby to proffyte suche as are not of seruile spiryte and when I had endyd the same I beth oughte me of some worthye patrone to whom I moughte dedicate the effecte of my smale trauayle in that behalfe and discoursynge in my selfe of dyuerse men I thoughte your honor a very meete man to accepte my symple present not for that I am your man and you my very good lorde and Maister but in respecte of those rare vertues whyche in your honour I knowe to reste Wherfore my humble request is that your lordshyppe wyll take this my poore trauaile in good parte which beinge graunted maye be an occasyon to styrre me vp to take in hande here after some greatter matter The one of these Bokes is writen in the Italian by Maister Andre Cambine a Citizen of Florence which declareth frō whence the Turckes came when they fyrste came into the lesse Asia of what condition they were the warres that they made and vpō what nations they made them the victories that they obtayned and howe they vsed them the whole meanes wherby they attained to that mightie seate in the whiche they nowe sytte and commaunde to the great dishonor of the Christian princes The other is a Commentarie wrytē also in the Italian by whom I knowe not for that the name of the auctor is suppressed but whatsoeuer he be that dyd it he hathe deserued to be well thoughte of for his trauayle for it is well worthe the redding It intreatethe of the warres betwene Amorathe the seconde Mahomethe the second his sonne Emperours of Turckye and the moste worthye prince George Castrioth otherwvse named Scanderbeg prince of Albania in the which Boke is euidently seen to howe great purpose and effecte it is to haue a Captaine of perfect iudgement and a ●ouldiour of tryid disciplyne And for so much as I haue here occasion to speke of such knowledge as makes a souldiour I terme discipline I thincke it not encouuenient some thinge to saye therof not at large for that it wyll sufficiently fyll a great volume but briefely as I maye of so weightie matter This disciplyne conteyneth in it the whole force of the warres the roote therof is the perfecte iudgement of the Captaine the braunches are these the good choise of the newe souldiours obedience of the souldiour the contynuall exercise of the souldiour order wherin the souldiour must be instructed furniture wherwith the souldiour must both defend and offend and then the seueritie of the Captaine in seinge this discipline truely obserued and kept A. worthye generall is of that perfection that he cā vse any of these in his kinde and I desyre of god that this disciplyne maye be better knowen in oure countre then it is so shall we not haue so manye as we haue that shall saye giue me the vntrayned souldiour and take the trayned that lyste of whose opinion I for my parte nether am ne wylbe for so muche as I thincke I shalbe able to proue both in these oure daies and also in the olde worldes that the disciplined souldiour hath alwaye acheuid the great enterprise the vntrained hath often ben ouerthrowen but seldome or neuer hath gyuen ouerthrowe And to proue this true these men are redie whose names doe here folowe besyde the whole troupe of historiens els Liuie Plutarcke Cesar Appian Alexandrine Valerius Maximus Vigetius Blondus Herodian Paulus Iouius the Cōmentarie of George Castrioth as here after more playnely shall appeare I thincke these sufficient to perswade anye man that is of a modest spirite in that behalfe And for so muche as this disciplyne is of so greate valewe I thincke it not vn●itting or vnfrutfull to touche euery braunche briefely in particular and fyrst I wyl begynne with the electiō choise of the newe souldiour Sertorius a worthy Romane who being the chiefe gouernour in Spaine after the death or Silla and beinge a man of a noble corage and of great iudgment in Martiall affares as Appian Alexandrine witnesseth of hym in his fyrste Booke of the Ciuil warres of the Romanes was not more honored for anye of the rare vertues that were in hym t●en for his greate iudgement in the choyse of newe souldiours his opinion was that the youthe which shoulde be chosen to defend theyr countre shoulde discend of honest parentes they shoulde be honestly broughte vp they shoulde be modest they shoulde also feare shame as wytnessyth Vigetius in his fyrst Booke of the arte of the warres the 7. Chapter Plato that noble Philosopher is of opinion that the newe souldiour must be chosen of the age of xx yeres Seruius Tullius kynge of the Romanes wolde haue them chosen of the age of xvii yeres blando sayethe that others are of opinion to chose them at xvi yeres of age Vigetius in his fyrste Booke and iiii Chapiter of the arte of the warres is of opinion to chose them whē their berde dothe fyrste showe Saluste is of opiniō to chose them yonge for as muche as in their youthe they are apte to be taught anye kynde of exercyse and beinge acustumed in their youthe to great trauayle they shall the better when they comme to greater age endure the trauaile and miserie of the warres he saieth also that it is better that the souldiours wante yeres then exercyse moreouer Vigetius saieth that whatsoeuer they lerne in theyr youth dothe contynue longe in theyr memorie perfectely All these worthye men are of opinion that yf he be vntrayned and passe the age of thirtie yeres he is not to be accepted into a bande for sondrie respects This weighty charge to chose newe souldiours was not committed to any Captaine but to those that were of greatest iudgement and best seen in the disciplyne of the
