A06902	The art of archerie Shewing how it is most necessary in these times for this kingdome, both in peace and war, and how it may be done without charge to the country, trouble to the people, or any hinderance to necessary occasions. Also, of the discipline, the postures, and whatsoever else is necessarie for the attayning to the art.	Markham, Gervase, 1568?-1637.	1634 (1634)	STC 17333; ESTC S111944	47,462	196

from_o the_o length_n of_o our_o bow_n the_o scripture_n make_v mention_n of_o brasse-bowe_n 17._o iron-bowe_n &_o steele-bowe_n all_o which_o be_v use_v of_o long_a time_n and_o be_v yet_o at_o
