to_o add_v unto_o this_o discourse_n the_o chance_n that_o may_v happen_v after_o the_o win_n or_o léese_v of_o a_o battle_n special_o for_o that_o those_o thing_n which_o i_o do_v mean_a to_o

that_o he_o that_o do_v assail_v have_v many_o advantage_n upon_o his_o side_n i_o find_v that_o he_o that_o be_v assail_v have_v many_o also_o upon_o his_o side_n and_o it_o little_a avayl_v that_o some_o maintain_v that_o those_o that_o assail_v have_v more_o courage_n than_o those_o that_o be_v assail_v for_o although_o that_o this_o may_v sometime_o be_v true_a yet_o be_v it_o not_o always_o

quarrel_n that_o bind_v every_o man_n to_o defend_v his_o country_n may_v be_v lay_v out_o before_o they_o which_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o have_v a_o more_o force_n in_o it_o than_o the_o desire_n or_o hope_n of_o the_o enemy_n to_o be_v rich_a by_o other_o man_n good_n and_o if_o we_o will_v say_v that_o a_o prince_n that_o do_v assault_v another_o do_v take_v from_o his_o enemy_n the_o commodity_n which_o he_o have_v before_o of_o the_o assistance_n of_o his_o subject_n for_o that_o the_o country_n will_v be_v destroy_v and_o his_o subject_n so_o that_o he_o may_v be_v no_o more_o

against_o those_o that_o have_v endomage_v they_o so_o that_o one_o of_o those_o that_o have_v lose_v their_o good_n be_v worth_a four_o of_o they_o that_o have_v lose_v nothing_o or_o that_o make_v

for_o to_o ground_n upon_o that_o that_o a_o prince_n which_o be_v assault_v be_v constrain_v to_o have_v the_o great_a regard_n in_o tax_v of_o his_o subject_n or_o in_o command_v they_o to_o do_v

they_o or_o never_o so_o little_o threaten_v they_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o may_v be_v resolve_v in_o one_o word_n to_o weet_v that_o this_o assistance_n can_v be_v take_v from_o a_o prince_n except_o that_o he_o do_v lose_v all_o his_o land_n and_o all_o his_o friend_n for_o otherwise_o he_o shall_v be_v succour_v in_o despite_n of_o his_o enemy_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o succour_n that_o the_o king_n of_o france_n have_v have_v of_o their_o subject_n at_o all_o time_n although_o that_o the_o englishman_n navarrians_n and_o a_o great_a number_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o realm_n be_v almost_o possess_v of_o all_o france_n so_o that_o the_o king_n of_o france_n know_v not_o where_o to_o set_v a_o foot_n for_o they_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v always_o obey_v none_o of_o all_o those_o that_o be_v leave_v they_o refuse_v to_o be_v tax_v or_o to_o be_v employ_v at_o the_o king_n his_o pleasure_n so_o that_o this_o patience_n prevail_v and_o in_o the_o end_n chase_v his_o enemy_n out_o of_o the_o realm_n i_o do_v believe_v that_o if_o a_o prince_n do_v use_v himself_o towards_o his_o subject_n like_o a_o tyrant_n always_o evil_o entreat_v and_o misuse_v they_o that_o if_o a_o enemy_n do_v assault_v he_o in_o his_o country_n he_o may_v then_o be_v in_o hazard_n to_o be_v ill_o follow_v and_o obey_v of_o his_o people_n but_o in_o do_v the_o contrary_a there_o be_v no_o doubt_n to_o be_v have_v in_o this_o matter_n one_o thing_n there_o be_v for_o they_o that_o do_v assail_v &_o which_o be_v a_o great_a point_n that_o be_v that_o soldier_n who_o find_v themselves_o in_o a_o strange_a country_n far_o from_o any_o refuge_n to_o retire_v unto_o see_v themselves_o in_o that_o extremity_n do_v fight_v so_o much_o the_o more_o resolute_a make_v a_o virtue_n of_o necessity_n but_o this_o necessity_n may_v not_o be_v compare_v unto_o the_o need_n that_o those_o have_v to_o fight_v virtuous_o that_o be_v assail_v because_o that_o they_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o abide_v many_o extremity_n more_o than_o the_o assailant_n if_o the_o say_a assailant_n shall_v overthrow_v they_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o life_n ransom_n or_o imprisonment_n do_v pay_v the_o reckon_n for_o they_o whereas_o those_o that_o be_v assail_v do_v lose_v their_o good_n the_o honest_a reputation_n of_o their_o wife_n and_o daughter_n and_o their_o life_n and_o if_o so_o be_v that_o they_o do_v escape_v kill_v yet_o do_v they_o look_v for_o a_o perpetual_a servitude_n with_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o other_o mischief_n so_o that_o the_o advantage_n on_o both_o side_n be_v clear_o see_v and_o the_o assailant_n can_v have_v one_o reason_n so_o strong_a for_o he_o but_o the_o assail_v may_v have_v a_o better_a wherefore_o i_o do_v make_v no_o doubt_n to_o rest_v upon_o this_o conclusion_n that_o be_v that_o every_o prince_n ought_v to_o have_v a_o regard_n before_o he_o enter_v into_o the_o country_n of_o another_o prince_n his_o neighbour_n that_o be_v as_o mighty_a as_o himself_o and_o moreover_o make_v himself_o to_o be_v well_o belove_v and_o obey_v of_o his_o subject_n as_o we_o see_v the_o king_n be_v and_o beside_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a he_o that_o be_v assail_v may_v attend_v the_o come_n of_o his_o enemy_n into_o his_o country_n with_o a_o great_a advantage_n for_o that_o he_o may_v famish_v they_o and_o take_v from_o they_o the_o use_n of_o all_o thing_n appertain_v unto_o a_o camp_n without_o the_o danger_n of_o have_v any_o lack_n of_o victual_n on_o his_o side_n moreover_o he_o may_v withstand_v the_o enterprise_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o impeach_v they_o to_o be_v execute_v if_o the_o assail_v have_v better_a notice_n of_o the_o country_n and_o passage_n than_o the_o assailant_n have_v to_o be_v brief_a he_o may_v make_v great_a store_n of_o people_n in_o short_a time_n for_o there_o be_v no_o body_n but_o will_v be_v ready_a at_o a_o need_n to_o enter_v into_o battle_n to_o defend_v his_o own_o and_o of_o these_o there_o will_v be_v find_v a_o hundred_o to_o one_o of_o those_o that_o be_v content_a to_o leave_v their_o own_o dunghill_n to_o the_o intent_n to_o make_v war_n against_o other_o man_n but_o let_v we_o suppose_v that_o a_o prince_n that_o be_v assail_v in_o his_o own_o country_n be_v overthrow_v every_o man_n know_v well_o that_o he_o may_v recover_v it_o again_o in_o short_a space_n because_o that_o the_o vanquish_v can_v be_v so_o utter_o overthrow_v but_o that_o there_o will_v a_o great_a many_o save_v themselves_o because_o of_o the_o retreat_n they_o have_v so_o never_o they_o moreover_o his_o succour_n be_v not_o far_o of_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o in_o some_o he_o that_o be_v assail_v in_o his_o country_n can_v hazard_v little_a but_o part_n of_o his_o force_n but_o if_o the_o assailant_n be_v overthrow_v he_o do_v not_o only_o put_v his_o people_n in_o hazard_n but_o also_o his_o state_n good_n and_o subject_n notwithstanding_o that_o he_o be_v out_o of_o his_o

what_o condition_n of_o peace_n be_v use_v to_o be_v give_v unto_o those_o that_o be_v in_o hand_n if_o they_o make_v peace_n and_o what_o ransom_n they_o must_v pay_v for_o their_o delivery_n before_o that_o they_o be_v let_v go_v beside_o all_o this_o danger_n into_o what_o inconvenience_n will_v the_o assailant_n his_o country_n fall_v into_o if_o he_o be_v slay_v will_v it_o be_v

to_o be_v hurt_v and_o to_o abandon_v their_o prince_n at_o his_o most_o need_n i_o will_v but_o understand_v why_o the_o swisser_n &_o the_o almain_n do_v make_v battle_n of_o 1000_o &_o 15000._o man_n all_o in_o one_o piece_n after_o the_o ancient_a manner_n and_o for_o what_o occasion_n all_o the_o other_o nation_n have_v imitate_v they_o since_o that_o this_o form_n of_o battle_n be_v

that_o man_n of_o war_n do_v go_v so_o close_o together_o as_o we_o see_v they_o do_v and_o as_o the_o say_a swisser_n and_o almain_n do_v the_o better_a to_o resist_v horseman_n and_o to_o give_v

by_o the_o mean_n of_o arm_n and_o good_a order_n whereof_o ensue_v that_o the_o better_a that_o a_o army_n be_v arm_v and_o the_o better_a that_o the_o rank_n be_v close_v so_o much_o the_o better_a it_o be_v assure_v so_o that_o whosoever_o be_v of_o the_o opinion_n above_o say_v be_v scant_a wise_a or_o his_o conceit_n be_v not_o great_a in_o this_o matter_n wherefore_o since_o we_o see_v

of_o the_o letter_n that_o the_o say_a emperor_n do_v write_v unto_o his_o lieutenant_n which_o be_v not_o write_v unto_o the_o soldier_n of_o that_o age_n to_o better_a purpose_n than_o it_o will_v
