the_o strength_n of_o all_o battle_n i_o know_v no_o reason_n but_o two_o thousand_o pike_n 1000_o musketeer_n shall_v not_o retire_v ten_o mile_n although_o it_o be_v all_o champion_n ground_n from_o

place_n assiege_v be_v furnish_v only_o with_o shot_n &_o short_a weapon_n as_o armed_z holbert_n target_n and_o such_o weapon_n by_o reason_n their_o trench_n be_v narrow_a and_o deep_a to_o cover_v they_o from_o the_o defendant_n shoot_v in_o which_o trench_n the_o pike_n have_v no_o convenient_a place_n to_o fight_v notwithstanding_o about_o their_o battery_n and_o in_o diverse_a place_n never_o unto_o these_o guard_n they_o make_v large_a cordigard_n where_o they_o place_v their_o ensign_n in_o some_o and_o in_o all_o strong_a guard_n of_o pike_n mean_v thereby_o to_o put_v their_o strength_n and_o rest_n chief_o on_o that_o weapon_n wherefore_o the_o experiment_a spaniard_n command_v all_o their_o chief_a man_n on_o foot_n to_o carry_v the_o pike_n what_o number_n of_o short_a weapon_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v among_o one_o thousand_o arm_a man_n from_o that_o rate_n to_o the_o great_a number_n i_o persuade_v myself_o there_o aught_o to_o be_v among_o one_o 1000_o pike_n 200._o short_a weapon_n as_o holbert_n or_o bill_n but_o the_o bill_n must_v be_v of_o good_a stuff_n not_o like_o our_o common_a brown_a bill_n which_o be_v light_o for_o the_o most_o part_n all_o

long_o arm_v with_o iron_n to_o the_o midd_n of_o the_o staff_n like_o the_o holbert_n for_o example_n like_o unto_o those_o which_o the_o earl_n of_o leicester_n and_o sir_n william_n pelham_n have_v in_o the_o low_a country_n for_o their_o guard_n be_v make_v thus_o no_o doubt_n but_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a weapon_n to_o guard_v ensign_n in_o the_o field_n trench_n or_o town_n and_o a_o good_a weapon_n to_o execute_v but_o no_o better_a than_o the_o halberd_n because_o the_o frenchman_n make_v their_o halberd_n with_o long_a necked_a pike_n and_o of_o naughty_a stuff_n like_o our_o common_a brown_a bill_n diverse_a of_o our_o nation_n condemn_v the_o halberd_n but_o let_v the_o halberd_n be_v of_o good_a stuff_n and_o strong_o make_v after_o the_o milan_n fashion_n with_o large_a head_n to_o cut_v and_o broad_a strong_a pike_n both_o to_o cut_v and_o to_o thrust_v than_o no_o doubt_n the_o halberd_n be_v nothing_o behind_o the_o bill_n for_o all_o manner_n of_o service_n and_o arm_n a_o soldier_n fair_a than_o the_o bill_n both_o bill_n and_o halberd_n ought_v to_o have_v corslet_n with_o light_n milan_n murrian_n the_o forepart_n ought_v to_o be_v of_o reasonable_a proof_n i_o mean_v of_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o caliver_n discharge_v ten_o or_o twelve_o score_n off_o so_o ought_v the_o pike_n also_o to_o have_v the_o forepart_n of_o the_o corslet_n of_o the_o like_a proof_n fifteen_o or_o twenty_o of_o every_o hundred_o from_o that_o rate_n unto_o the_o great_a number_n i_o know_v no_o reason_n that_o a_o thousand_o arm_a man_n ought_v to_o ask_v above_o two_o hundred_o targetter_n of_o the_o proof_n those_o weapon_n be_v very_o cumbersome_a they_o be_v best_a to_o arm_v man_n to_o discover_v breach_n or_o for_o the_o defendant_n to_o discover_v trench_n or_o the_o enemy_n work_n and_o for_o to_o cover_v shoot_v that_o skirmish_n in_o strait_n their_o weight_n be_v such_o that_o few_o man_n will_v endure_v to_o carry_v they_o if_o they_o be_v of_o good_a proof_n one_o hour_n i_o persuade_v myself_o the_o best_a arm_v of_o targetter_n be_v to_o have_v the_o corslet_n of_o reasonable_a proof_n and_o the_o target_n light_n so_o the_o bearer_n

will_v grudge_v by_o reason_n all_o or_o the_o most_o part_n of_o these_o company_n belong_v unto_o they_o for_o example_n our_o band_n of_o horseman_n pensioner_n do_v account_v they_o the_o fair_a

as_o many_o of_o any_o other_o let_v they_o be_v of_o what_o nation_n soever_o i_o may_v speak_v it_o by_o good_a experience_n out_o of_o this_o band_n there_o may_v be_v pick_v 15._o or_o 20._o sufficient_a to_o answer_v so_o many_o at_o all_o deed_n of_o arm_n let_v it_o be_v choose_v out_o of_o any_o army_n be_v it_o never_o so_o great_a consider_v their_o charge_n in_o pay_n expense_n

show_v you_o before_o the_o service_n of_o all_o light_a horseman_n consist_v chief_o in_o march_v of_o great_a march_n cavalgades_n the_o stranger_n term_v it_o i_o mean_v to_o surprise_v company_n a_o far_o off_o in_o their_o lodging_n or_o march_n likewise_o to_o defeat_v convoy_n &_o to_o conduct_v convoy_n as_o much_o to_o say_v direct_v it_o to_o spoil_v necessary_n that_o come_v to_o

frenchmen_n for_o these_o service_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o have_v in_o army_n or_o troop_n for_o every_o 500_o launtier_n or_o arm_a cuirass_n 100_o of_o these_o kind_n of_o light_a horse_n from_o that_o rate_n to_o the_o great_a number_n if_o horseman_n be_v direct_v to_o assail_v troop_n at_o their_o lodging_n either_o in_o village_n strait_n or_o field_n where_o it_o require_v too_o great_a a_o march_n for_o footman_n to_o keep_v company_n with_o the_o horseman_n without_o doubt_n these_o hargulatier_n be_v far_o better_o than_o the_o speareman_n my_o reason_n be_v these_o when_o the_o

place_n to_o enter_v and_o to_o charge_n these_o hargulatiers_n light_n on_o foot_n &_o do_v no_o less_o duty_n than_o foot_n hargabushier_v if_o the_o enemy_n be_v lodge_v either_o too_o strong_o or_o to_o many_o for_o the_o assailant_n to_o do_v any_o good_a on_o their_o quarter_n as_o you_o must_v think_v a_o 1000_o strong_o lodge_v in_o a_o village_n or_o straight_o with_o good_a guard_n and_o order_n be_v worth_a 2000_o without_o let_v they_o be_v of_o one_o valour_n and_o conduct_n than_o the_o assailant_n will_v address_v a_o ambush_n perhaps_o in_o a_o passage_n or_o narrow_a straight_a short_a of_o the_o enemy_n quarter_n where_o he_o will_v also_o cause_v all_o or_o the_o most_o of_o those_o hargulatier_n to_o light_n than_o place_n and_o hide_v they_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o 100_o shot_n will_v spoil_v and_o defend_v ten_o time_n more_o than_o themselves_o unless_o the_o enemy_n bring_v shoot_v to_o displace_v they_o if_o they_o do_v the_o ambush_n may_v dislodge_v if_o he_o think_v the_o party_n unequal_a the_o which_o he_o can_v not_o be_v his_o hargulatiers_n hargabusher_n without_o horse_n be_v engage_v to_o fight_v i_o confess_v also_o the_o hargulatier_n far_o better_a than_o the_o speareman_n for_o this_o service_n if_o troop_n of_o arm_a cuirass_n launtier_n or_o other_o chance_v to_o meet_v by_o fortune_n with_o the_o like_a enemy_n in_o a_o
