their_o heel_n skill_n then_o i_o perceive_v the_o error_n of_o our_o low-countries_n captain_n be_v because_o they_o will_v arm_v their_o people_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o may_v be_v able_a

because_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v 24._o and_o 30._o score_n off_o to_o beat_v upon_o squadron_n either_o of_o horseman_n or_o footman_n to_o break_v and_o dismember_v they_o and_o in_o like_a

better_a value_n of_o the_o musket_n but_o to_o give_v their_o voly_n at_o ten_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o pace_n it_o shall_v seem_v they_o know_v of_o no_o other_o service_n in_o the_o field_n but_o when_o enemy_n do_v meet_v they_o will_v straight_o draw_v their_o squadron_n to_o a_o encounter_n which_o show_v their_o little_a understanding_n for_o when_o such_o meeting_n do_v happen_v captain_n that_o be_v of_o experience_n be_v accustom_v to_o place_v the_o stand_n of_o pike_n wherein_o consist_v their_o strength_n upon_o some_o ground_n of_o advantage_n and_o as_o near_o as_o they_o can_v will_v bring_v some_o hedge_n some_o ditch_n some_o shrub_n or_o bush_n or_o some_o other_o like_o help_n between_o they_o and_o the_o enemy_n because_o they_o will_v not_o lie_v open_a to_o the_o

be_v thus_o shake_v off_o opportunity_n and_o advantage_n be_v watch_v on_o both_o side_n as_o well_o by_o horseman_n as_o footman_n to_o take_v their_o time_n and_o occasion_n their_o squadron_n

shall_v be_v charge_v and_o many_o time_n it_o fall_v out_o that_o squadron_n be_v break_v and_o put_v to_o a_o retreat_n by_o advantage_n take_v and_o procure_v by_o these_o skirmish_n but_o especial_o be_v gall_v and_o beat_v by_o the_o fury_n of_o shot_n a_o far_o off_o when_o the_o squadron_n of_o the_o contrary_a part_n have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o appéer_v in_o sight_n those_o

enemy_n in_o distance_n as_o far_o as_o three_o musket_n such_o a_o weapon_n be_v three_o time_n more_o available_a for_o service_n at_o longth_v and_o ten_o time_n more_o profitable_a for_o such_o

those_o service_n when_o occasion_n shall_v require_v what_o weapon_n more_o terrible_a than_o the_o musket_n that_o within_o twenty_o thirty_o forty_o or_o a_o hundred_o pace_n will_v deliver_v four_o or_o five_o caliver_n shoot_v at_o one_o discharge_v to_o the_o wonderful_a spoil_n of_o such_o as_o will_v approach_v they_o and_o for_o this_o occasion_n the_o fillet_n and_o wing_n of_o

that_o will_v evermore_o contend_v against_o that_o weapon_n but_o such_o as_o have_v not_o see_v their_o effect_n and_o service_n in_o the_o field_n but_o enforce_v against_o they_o their_o hundred_o

that_o archer_n will_v perform_v great_a service_n against_o horsemenne_n if_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o the_o place_n where_o they_o may_v serve_v but_o as_o they_o must_v be_v fortify_v

open_a and_o plain_a where_o while_o they_o draw_v their_o bow_n their_o body_n must_v remain_v in_o open_a view_n now_o what_o enemy_n of_o judgement_n will_v suffer_v they_o to_o keep_v such_o a_o

of_o their_o far_o shoot_v so_o that_o he_o may_v be_v count_v a_o very_a weak_a witted_a enemy_n that_o will_v suffer_v we_o to_o bring_v our_o bow_n where_o they_o may_v perform_v any_o exploit_n either_o against_o horseman_n or_o footman_n but_o contrariwise_o for_o the_o musket_n and_o the_o caliver_n every_o hedge_n every_o ditch_n and_o every_o thicket_n which_o almost_o every_o ground_n
