❧ LAWES and Ordinances set downe by ROBERT Earle of LEYCESTER the Queenes Maiesties Lieutenant and Captaine GENERAL of her armie and forces in the Lowe Countries Meete and fit to be obserued by all such as shall serue her MAIESTIE vnder him in the said Countries and therefore to be published and notified to the whole Armie Jmprinted at London by Christopher Barker Printer to the Queenes most excellent Maiestie HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE DIEV ET MON DROIT Lawes and Ordinances set downe by Robert Earle of Leycester the Queenes Maiesties Lieutenant and Captaine Generall of her Armie and Forces in the lowe Countries meete and fitte to be obserued by all such as shall serue her Maiestie vnder him in the said Countries and therefore to be published and notified to the whole Armie FOrasmuch as there is not any gouerned Estate which in peace or warre can be accounted sure or preserued from dishonour and ruine vnlesse it be supported and borne vp by Iustice duely administred and discipline orderly obserued And for that no man can be so ignorant as not to knowe that honor fame and prosperitie doe duely followe that common Wealth or Nation wherein good lawes are established the Magistrate ministring Iustice is duely regarded and the people fearing to offende are drawen vnder the rules of Iustice and obedience And seeing that martiall discipline aboue all thinges proper to men of warre is by vs at this time most to be followed aswell for the aduancement of Gods glorie as honourablie to gouerne this Armie in good order And least that the euill inclined pleading simplicitie shoulde couer any wicked facte by ignorance Therefore these martiall Ordinances and Lawes following are established and published whereby all good mindes endeuouring to attaine honour may stand armed and receiue encouragement to perseuere in well doing and such as are inclined to lewdenesse be warned from committing offences punishable Which being embraced with carefull respect and followed with obedience doe promise good order and agreement amongst our selues with victorie and good euents against our enemies 1 First euery chiefe Magistrate Captaine inferiour Officer Souldiour Pioner or what person els receiuing her Maiesties paye in Fielde or Garison shall solemnely sweare and by corporall othe be bounde to perfourme the vnder written Articles so farre as to eache in their seuerall qualities shall appertaine the violating or breaking whereof is to be punished by the Generalles direction according to the qualitie of the offence 2 Forsomuch as the holy Name of our most mightie and inuincible GOD with all reuerence ought to be regarded and that destruction is pronounced to such as blaspheme or abuse the same it is therefore ordeined and commanded that no person whatsoeuer either in common conference or communication or for any cause whatsoeuer shall blaspheme being thus admonished or take his Name in vaine vpon paine of losse of v.s. to the releefe of the poore for the first offence for the seconde fiue dayes imprisonment for the third losse of his place and wages 3 And because the continuall and vnspeakeable fauours of our Almightie God by our vnthankfulnesse may be taken from vs and that no good euent of any action can be expected wherein God is not first and principally honored and serued It is therefore especially ordeyned and commanded that all persons whatsoeuer shall vpon generall warning giuen either by sound of Trumpet or Drum repaire to the place appointed where the Diuine seruice is to be vsed there to heare the same read and preached vnlesse for the present by sicknesse or other seruice he be impeached vpon paine to lose his dayes wages for the first two dayes wages for the second and so to be encreased by the discretion of the Iudge and for euery such default in the Souldier aswell the Captaine as his inferiour officers to be punished with like penaltie 4 And seeing it well beseemeth all Christians especially such as professe the militarie seruice to passe away the time in matters requisite for their profession And because no time can be more vainely spent then that which is confumed in vnlawfull games besides the breeding of much contention and quarrelles And for that there be many allowable and commendable exercises for all sortes of men to vse Therefore it is streightly commanded that no priuate Souldiour or inferiour Officer shal frequent the playing at Dice and Cardes nor any other vnlawfull games vpon paine of two dayes imprisonment for the first time and for after committing the like to bee further punished by the Iudges discretion 5 And for that it often happeneth that by permitting of many vagrant and idle women in an armie sundry disorders and horrible abuses are committed Therefore it is ordeined that no man shalt carrie into the fielde or deteine with him in the place of his garrison any woman whatsoeuer other then such as be knowen to be his lawful wife or such other women to tende the sicke and to serue for launders as shall be thought meete by the Marshall vpon paine of whipping and banishment 6 And insomuch as elementie amongst men of warre in some respectes is a singuler vertue It is ordeined that no man in any part of this seruice that he shall doe shal lay violent handes vpon any woman with childe or lying in childebed olde persons widowes yong virgins or babes without especiall order from the Magistrate vpon paine of death 7 What person soeuer that shall be commonly giuen to drunkennesse or riotously behaue himselfe shall be banished the Armie 8 Whosoeuer shall conceale or in any sort keepe secrete Treason any dangerous Conspiracie or other practise which may be hurtfull and may concerne the perill of her Maiesties person or of her General or the estate of this Armie and shall not with all diligence reueale the same either vnto the Generall or some other Officer of especiall trust shall incurre the paines of death with torments 9 No man shall haue speeche or conference send message deliuer or receiue letters to or from the enemie or any his confederates either secretly or openly without manifesting the same presently vnto the Generall or Marshall or hauing former authoritie so to doe vpon paine of death 10 No man being in this seruice shal depart the Campe or place of Garrison for any cause whatsoeuer without the Generals especiall Pasport or other head Officer authorised vpon paine of death 11 No man shall breake out or leaue the order of his ranke being once ordered in the fielde by the Marshall or Sergeant Maior without some great occasion first made knowen vnto the saide Officer vpon paine of losse either of life or limme at the discretion of the Generall or of the Marshall 12 No man appointed to watch or warde shall shun or depart the place neither shall sleepe or neglect his duetie therein especially after the watch is set and the woorde giuen vnlesse he be orderly relieued or for some great occasion enforced with licence of his

Captaine or Officer vpon paine of death 13 No man shall bewray the watchworde to the enemie or to any other or giue any other woorde then is deliuered by the Officer vpon paine of death with torment

sundrie nations are to serue with vs in these warres so as through diuersitie of languages occasion of many controuersies may arise or happen to growe It is therefore ordeined that if any person of English nation shall finde him selfe agrieued with any wrong profered him by any forreiner that then without profering further reuenge hee shall signifie the same vnto his Captaine or other officer whereby order may be taken so as no further quarrell growe thereof but that quietnesse in all respectes may be preserued vpon paine of such punishment as the head officers shall thinke meete either by losse of life or limme 18 No man appointed to the defence of any Breach Trench or Streight either Captaine or Souldiour shall willingly leaue it or vpon any false or imagined cause or excuse shall
