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

soever_o shoot_v ignorant_o consider_v neither_o fair_a weather_n nor_o foul_a true_a or_o false_a stand_n nock_v feather_n nor_o head_n drawing_z nor_o loose_v nor_o yet_o any_o compass_n shall_v

absolute_a blindness_n a_o skilful_a archer_n will_v first_o with_o diligent_a use_n and_o mark_v the_o wether_n learn_v to_o know_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o wind_n and_o will_v with_o wisdom_n measure_n in_o his_o mind_n how_o much_o it_o will_v alter_v his_o shoot_n either_o in_o length_n keep_v or_o in_o straight_o shoot_v &_o so_o with_o change_v his_o stand_n or_o take_v another_o shaft_n which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v fit_a for_o his_o purpose_n either_o because_o it_o be_v low_a feather_a or_o else_o of_o a_o better_a wing_n will_v so_o handle_v with_o discretion_n his_o shoot_n that_o he_o will_v seem_v rather_o to_o have_v the_o weather_n under_o his_o rule_n by_o such_o care_n and_o circumspection_n than_o the_o wether_n to_o rule_v his_o shaft_n by_o any_o sudden_a change_n therefore_o in_o shoot_v there_o be_v as_o much_o difference_n betwixt_o a_o archer_n that_o be_v a_o good_a weather-man_n and_o he_o that_o know_v nor_o observe_v any_o thing_n as_o be_v betwixt_o a_o blindman_n and_o he_o that_o can_v see_v moreover_o a_o perfect_a archer_n must_v serious_o learn_v to_o know_v the_o sure_a flight_n of_o his_o shaft_n that_o he_o may_v be_v bold_a always_o to_o trust_v they_o next_o he_o must_v learn_v by_o continual_a experience_n to_o know_v all_o kind_n of_o weather_n the_o sign_n when_o it_o will_v come_v the_o nature_n when_o it_o

archer_n will_v follow_v a_o good_a seaman_n in_o winter_n and_o rough_a weather_n small_a boat_n and_o little_a pink_n for_o sake_n the_o sea_n and_o at_o one_o time_n of_o the_o year_n no_o galley_n come_v abroad_o so_o likewise_o weak_a archer_n use_v but_o small_a and_o hollow_a shaft_n with_o bow_n of_o little_a pith_n must_v be_v content_a to_o give_v place_n for_o a_o time_n yet_o i_o speak_v not_o this_o to_o discourage_v any_o weak_a shooter_n for_o as_o there_o be_v no_o ship_n better_o than_o a_o galley_n in_o a_o soft_a and_o calm_a sea_n so_o no_o man_n shoot_v more_o comely_a or_o near_o his_o mark_n than_o some_o weak_a archer_n do_v in_o a_o fair_a and_o clear_a day_n thus_o you_o see_v every_o good_a archer_n must_v know_v not_o only_o what_o bow_n and_o shaft_n be_v fit_a for_o he_o to_o shoot_v withal_o but_o also_o what_o time_n and_o season_n be_v meet_a for_o he_o to_o shoot_v in_o and_o true_o in_o all_o other_o matter_n and_o among_o all_o the_o degree_n &_o estate_n of_o man_n there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o do_v anything_o more_o discreet_o for_o his_o commendation_n or_o more_o profitable_a for_o his_o own_o advantage_n than_o he_o which_o do_v and_o will_v know_v perfect_o for_o what_o matter_n action_n and_o time_n he_o be_v most_o apt_a and_o fit_a and_o here_o be_v it_o not_o variable_a from_o the_o discourse_n i_o have_v in_o hand_n i_o can_v enter_v into_o a_o large_a field_n of_o invection_n against_o those_o which_o only_a labour_n to_o struggle_v to_o turmoil_n themselves_o in_o those_o matter_n and_o affair_n which_o be_v neither_o fit_n for_o their_o capacity_n nor_o consonant_n to_o their_o bring_v up_o but_o cinthius_n aurem_fw-la vellet_fw-la i_o will_v turn_v again_o to_o the_o action_n of_o shoot_v in_o which_o i_o will_v persuade_v all_o wise_a archer_n always_o to_o have_v their_o instrument_n fit_a and_o obedient_a for_o their_o own_o strength_n and_o then_o evermore_o to_o wait_v and_o attend_v for_o such_o time_n weather_n and_o season_n as_o be_v most_o agreeable_a with_o the_o action_n they_o go_v about_o therefore_o if_o the_o weather_n be_v too_o violent_a and_o unfit_a for_o your_o shoot_n leave_v of_o for_o that_o day_n and_o attend_v a_o better_a season_n for_o he_o be_v a_o fool_n that_o will_v not_o go_v when_o necessity_n drive_v yet_o to_o make_v some_o large_a description_n of_o the_o weather_n concern_v shoot_v i_o will_v have_v you_o remember_v as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o that_o in_o the_o whole_a year_n the_o spring_n summer_n fall_v and_o winter_n and_o in_o one_o day_n the_o morning_n noon_n afternoon_n and_o evening_n alter_v the_o course_n of_o the_o weather_n the_o pith_n of_o the_o bow_n and_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o man_n and_o in_o every_o one_o of_o these_o the_o weather_n alter_v as_o sometime_o windy_a sometime_o calm_a one_o while_o cloudy_a another_o clear_a sometime_o hot_a sometime_o cold_a the_o wind_n sometime_o moist_a
