wisdom_n of_o k_o france_n charles_n the_o five_o king_n of_o france_n for_o it_o be_v record_v that_o he_o never_o elect_v any_o of_o his_o chief_a commander_n or_o officer_n of_o war_n or_o any_o

know_v to_o he_o by_o their_o former_a action_n in_o military_a politic_a and_o civil_a employment_n and_o by_o this_o method_n and_o unpartiality_n in_o his_o election_n there_o never_o be_v king_n more_o successful_a in_o his_o military_a enterprise_n nor_o more_o happy_a in_o his_o politic_a resolution_n nor_o more_o belove_a of_o his_o subject_n because_o justice_n be_v unpartial_o

method_n of_o the_o most_o warlike_a nation_n of_o these_o day_n in_o these_o particular_n 1._o in_o the_o true_a season_n of_o war_n 2._o in_o our_o scout_n 3._o in_o our_o march_n 4._o in_o our_o

there_o have_v be_v from_o time_n to_o time_n one_o season_n more_o fit_a and_o convenient_a for_o war_n then_o another_o as_o it_o may_v appear_v 1._o chron._n 20._o 1._o l_o 1._o at_o the_o time_n that_o king_n go_v out_o to_o battle_n joab_n lead_v forth_o the_o power_n of_o the_o army_n and_o waste_v the_o country_n of_o the_o child_n of_o ammon_n and_o besiege_v rabbah_n etc._n etc._n but_o because_o the_o season_n do_v differ_v according_a to_o the_o climate_n of_o the_o seat_n of_o every_o country_n or_o nation_n i_o will_v ground_v this_o observation_n according_a to_o the_o climate_n of_o those_o that_o come_v near_a to_o we_o in_o *_o commentary_n africa_n the_o latter_a end_n of_o february_n be_v the_o ordinary_a season_n for_o army_n to_o take_v the_o field_n in_o italy_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o march_n and_o in_o france_n in_o the_o beginning_n of_o april_n so_o that_o our_o most_o convenient_a season_n shall_v be_v to_o take_v the_o field_n at_o the_o further_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o april_n and_o to_o withdraw_v our_o army_n into_o their_o garrison_n at_o holland_n tide_n or_o at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o october_n but_o if_o we_o make_v use_v of_o tent_n as_o we_o shall_v indeed_o for_o the_o great_a expedition_n of_o this_o war_n than_o we_o may_v convenient_o keep_v the_o field_n until_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o november_n but_o as_o the_o waterman_n that_o row_v against_o tide_n make_v less_o speed_n and_o have_v far_o more_o labour_n to_o go_v to_o their_o journey_n end_n than_o those_o that_o take_v the_o opportunity_n of_o the_o tide_n even_o so_o to_o spin_v out_o this_o war_n and_o to_o increase_v the_o labour_n of_o it_o and_o to_o waste_v our_o man_n and_o money_n we_o ordinary_o employ_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o winter_n time_n in_o action_n of_o war_n and_o suffer_v the_o summer_n to_o pass_v away_o in_o recruit_v our_o army_n or_o in_o our_o preparation_n of_o war_n whereas_o winter_n be_v the_o most_o convenient_a time_n to_o

great_a cause_n of_o the_o spin_v out_o of_o the_o public_a misery_n 2._o in_o our_o scout_n one_o of_o the_o great_a secondary_a cause_n of_o the_o spin_v out_o of_o this_o war_n be_v our_o want_n of_o faithful_a and_o diligent_a scout_n the_o city_n of_o london_n shall_v never_o be_v without_o sixteen_o young_a active_a and_o faithful_a scout_n that_o it_o may_v have_v every_o other_o day_n

moreover_o for_o want_v of_o faithful_a scout_n the_o city_n may_v very_o well_o be_v surprise_v or_o take_v unprovided_a of_o many_o necessary_n for_o a_o defensive_a posture_n as_o many_o other_o have_v be_v for_o want_n of_o they_o and_o divers_a other_o preserve_v by_o the_o speedy_a activity_n of_o their_o scout_n as_o i_o may_v prove_v by_o instance_n if_o i_o do_v not_o fear_v to_o make_v this_o treatise_n great_a than_o i_o purpose_v to_o do_v and_o for_o our_o army_n faithful_a and_o active_a scout_n will_v be_v the_o only_a preservation_n of_o they_o and_o the_o way_n to_o prevent_v for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v the_o slip_n of_o such_o military_a opportunity_n that_o they_o have_v lose_v heretofore_o but_o these_o scout_n be_v to_o be_v experience_v soldier_n and_o very_o

out_o of_o the_o adjacent_a county_n but_o some_o will_v say_v you_o persuade_v we_o to_o incredible_a and_o unnecessary_a charge_n for_o the_o great_a part_n of_o these_o thing_n we_o can_v procure_v in_o those_o county_n through_o which_o our_o army_n do_v march_v or_o intend_v to_o lay_v siege_n against_o any_o of_o the_o enemy_n garrison_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o great_a improvidence_n for_o a_o army_n to_o be_v without_o the_o necessary_n that_o belong_v to_o it_o and_o we_o know_v by_o experience_n that_o before_o the_o country_n can_v be_v summon_v to_o bring_v in_o ladder_n barowe_n pickax_n shovel_n and_o spade_n for_o that_o only_o can_v be_v find_v in_o the_o country_n that_o a_o army_n may_v be_v entrench_v about_o a_o garrison_n town_n and_o suppose_v they_o bring_v they_o in_o soon_o yet_o be_v they_o so_o wear_v break_a and_o out_o of_o repair_n that_o they_o be_v of_o no_o service_n but_o to_o spin_v out_o time_n i_o remember_v when_o one_o of_o our_o army_n be_v last_o year_n to_o storm_n or_o to_o scale_v basing_n house_n that_o they_o be_v constrain_v to_o send_v to_o london_n to_o have_v they_o make_v and_o so_o lose_v a_o fortnight_n of_o fair_a weather_n and_o then_o when_o the_o ladder_n come_v the_o weather_n be_v rainy_a and_o cold_a they_o be_v enforce_v to_o raise_v the_o siege_n for_o want_v of_o tent_n now_o have_v they_o have_v all_o these_o implement_n with_o they_o they_o have_v come_v off_o with_o honour_n and_o take_v that_o house_n and_o not_o leave_v the_o work_n to_o be_v do_v this_o year_n or_o for_o the_o next_o as_o they_o carry_v themselves_o before_o it_o the_o very_a charge_n then_o that_o have_v be_v cast_v away_o about_o that_o house_n will_v have_v pay_v for_o ten_o time_n as_o many_o implement_n as_o be_v here_o specify_v beside_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o time_n which_o be_v worth_a as_o much_o more_o and_o the_o blemish_n of_o the_o reputation_n of_o the_o undertaker_n which_o be_v more_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n i_o conclude_v then_o that_o a_o army_n be_v not_o to_o advance_v without_o all_o these_o implement_n to_o cross_v river_n to_o besiege_v town_n to_o entrench_v itself_o to_o make_v mine_n to_o
