Cesar in the seedge of Abarico in France vvho seeinge the Emperor takinge greate greefe and compassion of they re hunger for vvhich cause he vvas determined to retire his campe vvhereunto they vvoulde by no meanes condecend re pleeinge that firste they shoulde finish they re lives by chance of cruell fortune or hunger rather then give overtheyre interprice And vvith the like constancie valerouse and noble determination they tooke in Duraco eatinge earbes and rootes In the honorable regaininge of Breda by Spinola many examples may by given of the necessitie of they re Souldiores and greate constancie vvhere ihave seene many brave Souldiores compelled to extreame and intolerable necessitie and neverthelesh vvoed that they shoulde rather die in that honorable acte then spott they re honor

vvell a parelinge him selfe a cordinge to his a bilitie and pay and in no case let him hy not overloaden vvith muche bâ—gadge vvhiche is agreate empedimente in o cationes of marchinge and specially in tyme of service For wee dayly see that trough to much bagadge the whole army is often tymes troubled and of the same resulteth many disgraces and somtimes is wholy loste It importeth much an honorable Souldier to goe as lighte as may bee posible without anny impedimente that shoulde cause him to bee absente from his coulors Much bagadge in o cationes of march causeth much trouble and care and specially when it is loste as often times happened He is to be carefull and vigilante in keepinge his culores or watch with greate puntualitie and beeinge imployed in centery or rounde let him by verie warie in a complishinge his obligaciones and specially not to fall a sleepe for beeinge soe founde it lieth in the disgression of the Officer to use him a cordinge his desert as did Phirates in Corinto going in the rounde of that Cittie and findinge a Souldier a â—leepe killed him when other wise the leaste affronte he coulde have was to bee in publike punished and that for example to the reste that are not wourdie to carie armes for ther carelesh mindes and litle honor Let him looke well not to refuse his Officieres beinge comaunded in o cationes of his Majesties service and be no meanes let him not by absente from his garde beinge on the watch withoute licence of his officer though he thinketh the place to bee peasable and of no suspicion If he thincketh to goe forwarde or to bee prefered in this arte he profesheth he is to a complish with greate care and punctualitie his obligationes that bee his care and diligence he may dayly hope of better prefermente Let him consider that oure predecessores were not Captaines nor Master de campes nor that they were borne vvith thies offices but rather vvith goode partes dilgence and goode service optained the same honorablie Let him not marry if he hopeth to a complish vvell his obligationes or to bee prefered for in o cationes of march if shee goe a longe vvith him hardlie can he vvell a complish with his obligationes if his meanes be litle and beinge chardged vvith many children consider vvhate and how many crosses shall happen and he muste of force neglecte in a complishinge the obligationes of an honorable Souldior in the righte performance of the kinges service or forgoe his wife and children for he hath inough in a complishinge vvell vvith the one and give over the other In the corpes de garde he is to behave him selfe sober and honeste and looke vvell that he fall not unto any quareles for they re he giveth bad example as alsoe sheoweth litle respecte to his Majesties service and seemeth that he neyther feareth nor respected his Officeres Wherfore the Officer is to punish him for suche as are given to quareles in suche places are moste comonly accounted for couardes for it is knowen that suche places is not for quareles nor fightinge nor by no meanes can be permited and so suche as are given to quareles in suche or semblabel places are a compted for couardes and for men of litle expectation of theyer valor before they re enemy and ought not to escape vvithoute severe punishmente He is to be earneste to imitate the goode partes and verteuse cariadge of those vvhich raise unto degrees by they re prudente govermente and to marke those that are daylie declininge ttough theyr bad and unruly factes litle fearinge God or man Of such persones litle expectation can be of they re furtherance or happie success but rather hated and envied by God and the vvorlde so let him allwayes imitate te beste In all places in townes Citties or Villadges where he is lodged let him by kinde and amiable vvith his hoste and let him demaunde for no delicate meates nor regalose as som are incliued unto but rather conforme him selfe with his hoste For all thinges don vvith amitie in thies ocationes is far better and more laudable then rigor and disorderes Wherof often times resulteth greate scandeles disgraces and revoltes If it shoulde chance as som times happened that his patrâ—oâ— or hoste shoulde be aman of unreasonable conditiones let the Souldier then repayre to his Officer that he might by changed into another place or els see his cause remedied better If it be his chance to happen in the expuungnation of any Cittie towne or forte let him not be avaritions but rather folowe and Persue the victorie untill such time as his contrarie be wholy yealded and liceÌ„ce granted to the

fall withoute confusiō into they re juste place in battell a ray All vvhich the Sardgente mayor is bounde to instructe for beinge the master vvho is to learne and leade them for it belongeth to his chardge and office and besides it importeth him muche that they be vvell instructed and exercised in martial affaires for soe vvith greate facilitie shal he execute his affaires as did the Thesarios to vvhose chardge be the Romanies was recomended this office as vvell in filde as in garison They instructed they re Souldieres in the scoole they exercised the Tirones which were the Bisones or newe Souldieres two times a day and the Veteranos vvhiche vvas they re oulde Souldiers once a day Soe they vvere very experte as vvell in knovvinge howe to manadge they re armes as to serve with the same as alsoe in punctualy knowinge to observe order in march and squadron as alsoe induringe greate travailes They alsoe vvere exercised in runinge leapinge shevvminge and all other exercicee and vertues necessarie and fitenge for warr They were constrained to march with they re complet armor both foote and those that wente a horssbake two dais in a month carienge alsoe with them on they re backes al necessary foode for that jurney fightinge as it vvere vvith the enemy givenge and receivinge the chardge as if it vvere in a bloody vvarr for the space of ten thousand pases in they re vvhole yurney cominge and goinge and vvith this as customed exercice they were apte and nemble whensoever occasion of service or employmente did offer Soe that vvith two thousande of these greater exploytes and executiones vvere made then with thirtie thousande bisones or rawe mē for vvhich cause they vvere victoriouse councoringe with greate renoome till they vvere vvholie given to vice idelnes and regalitie Trough which meanes they begon to fall into decay and of they re longe repose and idel life did resulte a bad and sorowfull ende for beinge vvholie given to woomen delicate meates sleeepe and ease and of no care to exercice them selves in armes They became to forget all vertue to by covardes and fall into decay Now see a plaine example vvhich happened to one of the moste famouseste Captaines of the vvorlde vvhich was Anibal Cartagenes son to Amilcar beinge nine yeares oulde vvas broughte to the vvarres and vvas caused to swere to be enemy to the Romaines duringe life and cominge to the adge to governe an army he marched from Spaine trough France into Italie vvhere in passinge the river Rodane The Romaines a tendinge him where he had a moste sore incounter in pasinge the river But Aniball with prudence and greate valeure with tables tember and greate tries made a bridge trough with dificultie and greate hasarde that at lēghte he paste his army over the river by force of armes and vvith no lesh endustrie did he pass the hugie montaines of the Alpes breakinge downe greate rokes and makinge them plaine where he made a way that his army coulde pass which contained 120000. of foote and horse and they re bagadge on Elefantes and brute beastes and pased to piamonte vvher he rejoysed of his safe a rivall trough such a trouble some and dangerouse vvay comfortinge and givinge his to understande that they vvere oute of danger and trouble and arived into a fertill countrie abondante of all necessaries befittinge Ther havinge reposed his army he touke his jurney towardes the river of Trevia in Plasintin and met vvith the Romaines where he optained the victorie and from thence he touke his jurney and paste by Perusa til he came to Trasimeno vvhere he gave an other overtrow to the Romaines and kilth of them three and twenty thousande And after this he paste with his army to Pulla in Canas which nowe is Barleta vvhere he alsoe foughte vvith the Romaines and had the victorie of them vvith the slaughter of fortie thousande of them as Plinius and Francisco Petrarca Tuscano declareth Soe that he had the bridell vvith Italie sixtime yeares poseste vvith that brave and prudente conductor skilfull and valerouse army After this he came to Capua a pleasante country of vveomen and other comodities and they re gave him self and his army to repose in garisones a longe time vvhere he and they became idel and forgetfull of all military exercice as thoughe they never had managed armes Which vvas cause of the ruine and perdition of all his army as they say that Capua vvas a greater perdition to Anibal then to the Romaines the losh of Canas and after beinge constrained to pass unto Africa to soucour Cartago his countrie beinge informed that Cipio that famouse Captaine vvente thiter vvith his Romaine army be vvhome Aniball vvas overcome so that his vice longe repose and neglectinge of armes vvas cause of his destruction as alsoe hapened to many other brave vvarrieres But this of Aniball is a sufficiente example for those that followe the profession of armes to alwayes houlde and keepe they re Souldieres in exercice of armes and that vvith greate care for feare of destruction Soe this is a goode and sufficiente example for a Sardgent mayor to alwayes keepe his Souldieres in the exercice of armes and to imitate still the Romaines in they re continuall practice And in case that the moste parte of the Companies of his Regimente are not togither vvhere he is residente Let him advertice they re Captaines that they be carefull to exercice they re Souldieres and it vvere not amiss that he in the ende of everie three or foure montes shoulde visite them all over and vvith care exercice them in the ocasiones of marchinge and imbatelinge Wherby he shall finde them apte and ready to his will not needinge overmuch paines nor disputes as alwayes muste by with rawe men litle exerciced in armes In nothinge is he to be more curiouse then in learninge and instructinge them who to observe orderes of marchinge and in framing with them all sortes of squadrones and to cause them skirmish sundrie manner of wayes and cause them to toss the pike and to by apte in handelinge the same beinge queene of armes and moste noble of all the reste This office of a Sardgent mayor vvas in times paste cauled thesariouse or Master who is to instructe military discipline he which is apte and skilfull in vvell a complishinge the aproved partes ordained for the execution of this office is fitt for any other office in vvarr to the verie office of a Master de campe generall which of all the reste requireth greatesth care and sufficiencie Wheresoever the Sardgente mayor shall happen to by with his Regimente or vvith parte of the same eyther in campana or garison when the Companies of the same shall inter the watch he is to by presente and take care that the Captaines be vvell armed with faire and complet corseletes and all peeces therunto a pertaininge and vvith a faire peeke of sixtine or seventine foote longe the Musquetier with a
lanterne of all the army soe that they may imitate him for moste comonlie averteouse prudente and valiante generall will chuse valiante verteouse and prudente Captaines and Officeres prudente and valerouse Captaines oughte to estime verteouse valiante and skilfull souldieres The accidentes of warr are so many that it altherethe the houmore of some professores of this arte excepte they by indued with singular vertue and constancie which are founde but in verie feowe Very many dificulties doe offer in the daylie ocurrantes of warr but greate abilitie is requiered to see them prudently ordered and hardely can any master be had of suche perfection but that some times he muste err To relate in particular of the partes required in a generall it were tediouse Wherfore i will name the foure princlpal partes the Greekes and Romaines desired to occurr in such personages firste to be skillfull in the arte of warr to be valiante and of brave and prudente resolution to sheowe him selfe with greate gravitie and auctoritie and to be fortunate in his sucesses If he be acompanied with the partes and proprietie before declared it is inough Nevertheless he hase inoughe to learne For the better securitie and success of his army it is necessarie that his person be still well garded in all plases where he marches with his army And trough his valeoure and mangnanimitie findinge that he is inclined to presente him selfe the firste in all dangeres his consell of warris not to permitt him for many respectes for bienge kilth or taken prisoner it were no smale matter That besides it is an ocasion to animate the enemie and to disanimate oures wherof greate consideration oughte to be taken The Greekes and Romaines for the defence and repose of theire republike have chosen theire Captaine generalles of souldieres of greate and longe experience in martiall actiones wherby they mighte prudentlie governe and comaunde with full auctoritie and due respecte And therfore they alwaies did chuse thies personadges of men of longe practice greate experience in warr and of reepe yeares and judgement It is true that Alexander Magnus beinge but of yonge yeares begon to governe and comaunde an Army and conquered all Asia and did put the worlde in amace Somtimes it is moste conveniente that Kinges and Princes in person be presente withe theire armies for many respectes thouge theire experience be not greate but when suche ocasiones do presente they carie with them the moste anciente and experimented Captaines they finde as did Alexander of those Captaines whiche Kinge Philip his father had for his Counseleres and conductores of warr And as did Kinge Philipe of Spaine when he elected don Juan de Austria for his Captaine generall he a pointed for his Lieutenante don Luis de Suniga the gran comendador of castilla And to the contrarie who infortunate hapened to don Sebastian Kinge of Portugall not to imitate thies renoomed examples of perperpetuall memorie in his infortunate and disastred journey made into barbarie he beinge yonge and vnexperimented in warr whiche was cause of his and his armies perdicion so that yonge Princes in warres oughte to have for theire Counseleres grave and experimented Captaines none can denay but this Kinge was of a high conceite and of amoste brave and valerouse determinasion but by reson of his yonge yeares and lesse experience in warr he wanted prudence for the due conduction of such an honarble action In the honorable journey made by the famouse and renoomed conquerour Kinge Edward the thirde into France sendinge his eyldest son the Prince of wales for generall Naminge for his Counselers and Captaines the valiante prudente and renoomed Earles of oxforde warwick suffolk and salisbury where at the battell of Poytieres they made knowen theire vndeniable prudence and greate valour that at lenghte they overthrewe the whole power of france and theire Kinge Iohn and his son Philipe were taken prisoneres with very many of the frence nobilitie to the Inglish is perpetuall glorie and fame Aniball that renoomed Captaine of perpetuall memorie was but very yonge when he began to governe an army but he had for his Counseleres anciente and prudente Captaines and was ruled and governed by them till he came to understandinge givinge many famouse battelles and overthrowes to the Romaines till at the ende he was overcome with Cipio Africano that renomed Captaine of the remaines The Captaine generall oughte to informe him selfe well of the forces qualitie and condiciones of his enemy if bisonos or rawe men or oulde and experimented souldiers alsoe to be well informed of the cituation strenghte and forme of theire citties townes fortes and stronge houldes and of the convenienteste plases to passe over thire riveres Alsoe to informe him selfe of the situation of their campes so that he mighte be the better prevented when ocasion shall offer alsoe to be well informed of persones of goode judgemente and truste of all the dificulties that maie hinder him so that in due time he may prevente all necessarie prevenciones and specially see that he trusteth the relatinge of thies and many more ocasiones to persones of greate fidelitie and truste and of goode understandinge When the Captaine generall shall inter to conqueste aforaigne country he is to indevoure with speede to put him selfe in pocession of the principaleste pasadges of riveres casteles and stronge plases and with speede see them well provided with all necessaries that thereby he may put the country under subiection and that his amunitiones and all other necessaries may be transported with the more securitie from one place to another and withe speede to see all places fortified in as muche as can posible where any parte of his army beinge constrained trough extreame necessitie may safelie repaire unto For it faleth oute often times that the ocurrantes of warlike affaires are subjecte to many disgrases and may be when we leshe feare Wherfore aprudente comaunder oughte in due time to prevente suche dificulties which is the kea and securitie of his army and specially to see thies plases well provided with all sorte of amunitions and to see that they be recomended to the care and chardge of carefull vigilante prudente and valerouse Captaines When resolution is taken to scale any towne forte or stronge place firste information oughte to be taken by skillfull and trustie persones of al dificulties which mighte be suspected or feared as alsoe of the juste heighte of the walles that ladderes may be made for that purpose and not to be overlonge for bienge dangerouse for cause that the enemy may easilie turne them up side downe Thies ladderes are not to be so shorte but that they may reache to the
