or_o duty_n of_o war_n namely_o navigation_n how_o to_o encamp_v and_o fight_v in_o the_o field_n how_o to_o defend_v himself_o and_o how_o to_o besiege_v assault_n and_o take_v strong_a place_n these_o four_o way_n be_v of_o such_o a_o concernment_n to_o the_o greatness_n of_o a_o empire_n that_o though_o it_o be_v otherwise_o ill-regulated_n in_o some_o thing_n the_o only_a military_a

the_o exactness_n and_o goodness_n of_o her_o discipline_n be_v a_o present_a remedy_n to_o the_o distemper_n of_o that_o state_n and_o hinder_v the_o sad_a effect_n of_o they_o and_o to_o come_v to_o

of_o soldier_n the_o republic_n have_v forty_o thousand_o foot_n list_v and_o can_v raise_v many_o more_o upon_o occasion_n but_o as_o i_o say_v no_o great_a hope_n be_v to_o be_v conceive_v of_o
