the_o thrust_n and_o other_o i_o have_v see_v that_o in_o stead_n of_o curtilace_n &_o tock_n have_v wear_v single_a pistol_n which_o pistol_n because_o man_n at_o arm_n or_o dimilance_n be_v to_o

there_o do_v enter_v none_o but_o only_a footman_n and_o that_o of_o two_o sort_n the_o one_o master_n of_o ship_n officer_n mariner_n and_o sailor_n that_o be_v to_o manage_v the_o ship_n first_o and_o all_o other_o sort_n of_o artificer_n that_o be_v to_o repair_v the_o ship_n and_o all_o thing_n belong_v to_o the_o same_o and_o the_o other_o of_o soldier_n and_o their_o officer_n that_o be_v

and_o different_a thing_n from_o that_o part_n of_o the_o militia_n that_o i_o intend_v to_o handle_v second_o i_o will_v omit_v now_o the_o second_o cause_n of_o muster_n and_o levy_n be_v for_o employment_n and_o service_n by_o land_n either_o for_o a_o war_n offensive_a or_o defensive_a or_o for_o both_o into_o the_o which_o do_v enter_v the_o first_o election_n choice_n and_o enrollement_n aswell_o of_o horseman_n as_o of_o footman_n and_o aswell_o the_o horseman_n as_o the_o footman_n of_o different_a sort_n of_o armour_n and_o weapon_n now_o because_o i_o have_v in_o diverse_a part_n of_o christendom_n see_v soldier_n both_o horseman_n and_o footman_n elect_v enrol_v and_o levy_v in_o some_o country_n with_o great_a order_n and_o in_o other_o with_o less_o and_o that_o also_o i_o have_v partly_o observe_v the_o ancient_a manner_n of_o election_n inrol_v arm_a &_o furnish_v of_o soldier_n here_o in_o england_n when_o i_o be_v young_a as_o also_o the_o proceed_n in_o those_o affair_n of_o this_o time_n i_o think_v good_a in_o this_o place_n to_o set_v down_o my_o opinion_n how_o and_o in_o what_o sort_n i_o will_v have_v all_o horseman_n and_o footman_n of_o such_o armour_n and_o weapon_n as_o we_o at_o this_o present_a in_o england_n do_v use_n to_o be_v elect_v enrol_v and_o every_o way_n furnish_v and_o there_o withal_o in_o their_o first_o election_n and_o inrollement_n instruct_v and_o therefore_o i_o will_v first_o begin_v with_o footman_n and_o because_o that_o in_o all_o right_a and_o true_a election_n and_o first_o enrollement_n of_o man_n of_o war_n master_n there_o be_v three_o principal_a thing_n to_o be_v regard_v and_o observe_v of_o the_o which_o the_o first_o be_v conveniency_n of_o age_n and_o year_n the_o second_o corporal_a

no_o less_o requisite_a than_o the_o other_o two_o therefore_o i_o mean_v to_o include_v those_o as_o three_o principal_a matter_n belong_v to_o my_o whole_a election_n of_o the_o which_o three_o concern_v conveniency_n of_o year_n soldier_n i_o think_v none_o meet_v to_o be_v elect_v and_o enrol_v under_o the_o age_n of_o 18._o year_n which_o be_v the_o low_a age_n that_o have_v be_v

than_o be_v convenient_a consider_v that_o for_o the_o defence_n of_o a_o kingdom_n where_o there_o be_v choice_n of_o young_a man_n enough_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o reason_n and_o
