A13248	The schoole of the noble and worthy science of defence Being the first of any English-mans inuention, which professed the sayd science; so plainly described, that any man may quickly come to the true knowledge of their weapons, with small paines and little practise. Then reade it aduisedly, and vse the benefit thereof when occasion shal serue, so shalt thou be a good common-wealth man, liue happy to thy selfe, and comfortable to thy friend. Also many other good and profitable precepts and counsels for the managing of quarrels, and ordering thy selfe in many other matters. Written by Ioseph Svvetnam.

not_o except_o occasion_n serve_v but_o be_v not_o lift_v up_o with_o a_o proud_a mind_n one_o step_v the_o high_a for_o courtesy_n win_v favour_n with_o all_o man_n wherefore_o all_o way_n so_o frame_v your_o speech_n and_o answer_n that_o there_o never_o grow_v any_o quarrel_n upon_o a_o foolish_a word_n or_o a_o froward_a answer_n and_o furthermore_o have_v this_o skill_n in_o thy_o
