all_o other_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v and_o yet_o may_v be_v just_o account_v the_o chief_a weapon_n of_o battle_n and_o conquest_n i_o think_v it_o be_v most_o manifest_a by_o all_o history_n that_o have_v write_v of_o puissant_a and_o conquer_a nation_n that_o in_o many_o and_o diverse_a age_n under_o their_o great_a and_o notable_a captain_n have_v give_v themselves_o to_o enlarge_v their_o

a_o milicia_fw-la weapon_n to_o achieve_v victory_n so_o i_o think_v it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o all_o those_o conquer_a nation_n have_v make_v chief_a choice_n of_o the_o bow_n as_o of_o the_o most_o excellent_a kind_n of_o weapon_n for_o victory_n and_o conquest_n and_o although_o they_o have_v not_o use_v in_o their_o army_n that_o weapon_n alone_o but_o other_o weapon_n also_o incorporate_v with_o they_o yet_o it_o be_v most_o manifest_a that_o the_o great_a number_n of_o such_o mighty_a army_n have_v consist_v more_o of_o archer_n either_o on_o horseback_n or_o on_o foot_n than_o of_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o weapon_n and_o by_o their_o excellent_a effect_n chief_o have_v be_v achieve_v most_o notable_a and_o wonderful_a victory_n as_o for_o example_n be_v not_o

by_o the_o persian_n and_o that_o chief_o by_o the_o great_a effect_n of_o their_o arrow_n beside_o all_o which_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a by_o diverse_a history_n that_o neither_o the_o notable_a
