and_o furthermore_o do_v these_o captain_n think_v to_o make_v their_o man_n refrain_v by_o put_v they_o to_o any_o shame_n since_o they_o be_v bear_v and_o nurss_v without_o ever_o have_v learn_v

must_v cause_v the_o prisoner_n to_o be_v bring_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o town_n neither_o to_o near_a nor_o to_o far_o from_o it_o &_o there_o make_v show_v to_o put_v he_o to_o death_n to_o

that_o the_o assaulter_n may_v be_v so_o mingle_v with_o the_o townsman_n that_o they_o may_v win_v the_o gate_n &_o enter_v pell_o mell_o with_o they_o which_o be_v not_o so_o great_o to_o be_v marvel_v at_o because_o of_o the_o press_n &_o trouble_n that_o happen_v in_o such_o like_a action_n which_o oft_o time_n do_v fall_v out_o so_o great_a that_o those_o that_o be_v repulse_v have_v not_o leisure_n to_o reenter_v their_o place_n in_o good_a order_n but_o do_v retire_v who_o best_o can_v fast_o so_o that_o if_o these_o town_n have_v not_o provide_v for_o this_o inconvenience_n before_o hand_n except_o that_o they_o do_v shut_v their_o gate_n against_o their_o own_o people_n &_o leave_v they_o at_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o assaulter_n it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v that_o if_o the_o say_a assaulter_n do_v pursue_v they_o pel_v mell_o at_o their_o heel_n that_o the_o town_n will_v be_v get_v at_o the_o instant_n or_o at_o the_o lest_o those_o that_o be_v issue_v out_o will_v be_v take_v prisoner_n it_o be_v therefore_o a_o matter_n of_o no_o small_a importance_n to_o proceed_v at_o the_o first_o in_o the_o manner_n before_o speak_v of_o sith_o it_o may_v cause_v the_o war_n so_o soon_o to_o be_v end_v the_o assaulter_n must_v have_v a_o special_a regard_n unto_o one_o thing_n if_o it_o shall_v come_v so_o to_o pass_v that_o they_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o town_n pell_o mell_o with_o the_o defender_n that_o be_v to_o assure_v themselves_o of_o the_o gate_n &_o to_o break_v they_o off_o from_o the_o hinge_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a or_o to_o let_v they_o from_o shut_v by_o lay_v great_a stone_n or_o timber_n in_o the_o way_n &_o also_o to_o impeach_v the_o let_v down_o of_o the_o pertcullis_n for_o the_o townsman_n may_v use_v a_o flight_n for_o a_o policy_n to_o entice_v the_o besieger_n into_o the_o town_n &_o when_o as_o they_o do_v see_v that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o enter_v as_o they_o can_v well_o master_n they_o may_v let_v down_o the_o pertcullis_n &_o shut_v they_o in_o therefore_o this_o must_v be_v take_v heed_n of_o &_o a_o good_a guard_n set_v to_o keep_v the_o gate_n and_o other_o appoint_v to_o win_v the_o gate_n house_n which_o be_v win_v must_v be_v keep_v as_o long_o as_o the_o townsman_n do_v make_v resistance_n the_o rest_n must_v follow_v the_o victory_n who_o must_v execute_v it_o so_o diligent_o that_o the_o garrison_n nor_o other_o may_v have_v leisure_n to_o range_v themselves_o in_o battle_n in_o the_o market_n place_n or_o elsewhere_o for_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v that_o there_o be_v any_o beforehand_o to_o defend_v those_o place_n for_o at_o this_o day_n we_o make_v no_o such_o reckon_n for_o every_o man_n assoon_o as_o they_o do_v hear_v that_o a_o enemy_n be_v in_o sight_n do_v run_v to_o the_o wall_n to_o behold_v they_o i_o do_v not_o blame_v this_o diligence_n but_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o find_v it_o good_a that_o soldier_n shall_v abandon_v the_o place_n that_o they_o ought_v to_o keep_v to_o run_v unto_o any_o other_o nor_o that_o the_o market_n place_n in_o a_o town_n that_o be_v besiege_v or_o that_o do_v look_v for_o a_o siege_n shall_v be_v without_o man_n of_o war_n at_o any_o time_n but_o shall_v be_v always_o guard_v with_o a_o good_a number_n but_o these_o thing_n have_v carry_v i_o a_o little_a from_o my_o matter_n wherefore_o to_o return_v again_o
