if_o i_o do_v not_o add_v weight_n to_o one_o of_o the_o opinion_n i_o will_v then_o say_v that_o before_o the_o institution_n and_o seminary_n of_o janizzar_n 1397._o the_o turk_n receive_v but_o one_o memorable_a overthrow_n at_o mount_n stella_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o tamburlan_n the_o most_o strong_a enemy_n that_o ever_o they_o assay_v and_o that_o after_o their_o institution_n they_o

of_o the_o king_n of_o persia_n and_o other_o 4_o the_o second_o proof_n which_o i_o will_v produce_v to_o fortify_v the_o truth_n of_o my_o proposition_n be_v that_o all_o such_o as_o have_v have_v

king_n of_o persia_n have_v many_o time_n overcome_v the_o turkish_a force_n by_o the_o only_a strength_n of_o his_o horse_n whereof_o he_o have_v more_o and_o be_v better_a arm_v then_o the_o other_o the_o hungarian_n in_o like_a sort_n have_v many_o time_n put_v the_o turk_n to_o the_o worse_a by_o their_o fight_n on_o horseback_n 5_o the_o three_o and_o strong_a proof_n of_o my_o assertion_n

to_o move_v they_o to_o rebel_v then_o to_o make_v they_o handle_v as_o it_o be_v and_o see_v the_o assurance_n of_o a_o approach_a succour_n to_o provide_v they_o of_o arm_n and_o all_o other_o furniture_n for_o the_o war_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v dare_v to_o make_v the_o least_o show_v once_o to_o move_v while_o they_o have_v the_o enemy_n over_o they_o always_o in_o a_o readiness_n and_o arm_v who_o will_v in_o a_o moment_n confound_v they_o especial_o be_v as_o they_o be_v naked_a and_o unprovided_a of_o arm_n offensive_a or_o defensive_a selim_n the_o second_o doubt_v the_o worst_a by_o the_o counsel_n of_o occhial_o cause_v all_o the_o christian_n inhabit_v the_o sea_n coast_n to_o retire_v themselves_o far_a up_o into_o the_o main_a land_n to_o the_o end_n the_o presence_n of_o the_o christian_a force_n shall_v not_o encourage_v they_o against_o he_o as_o it_o happen_v at_o such_o time_n as_o andrew_n dorea_n achieve_v the_o

of_o the_o christian_n for_o so_o mighty_a be_v they_o in_o horse_n and_o of_o such_o speed_n and_o dexterity_n as_o they_o will_v in_o a_o instant_n bear_v down_o before_o they_o whatsoever_o shall_v oppose_v they_o wherefore_o it_o will_v be_v better_a to_o enter_v by_o albania_n and_o by_o place_n mountainous_a and_o of_o difficult_a access_n where_o the_o horse_n be_v not_o able_a to_o serve_v as_o in_o the_o plain_a this_o be_v as_o much_o as_o we_o mean_v to_o say_v of_o such_o christian_n as_o be_v under_o the_o turk_n dominion_n all_o which_o i_o will_v imagine_v want_v not_o will_n to_o rebel_v if_o the_o prince_n of_o christendom_n will_v furnish_v they_o of_o mean_n 3_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o way_n be_v best_a to_o be_v take_v to_o provoke_v the_o mahometan_n to_o revolt_v and_o to_o fill_v their_o country_n with_o trouble_n and_o civil_a dissension_n if_o we_o will_v but_o consider_v how_o their_o religion_n be_v fraught_v with_o untruth_n their_o alcoran_n abound_v in_o folly_n we_o shall_v find_v it_o easy_a to_o pick_v matter_n enough_o out_o of_o it_o to_o set_v they_o together_o by_o the_o ear_n especial_o if_o we_o do_v but_o disperse_v among_o they_o certain_a book_n fit_a to_o convert_v they_o or_o make_v they_o doubt_v of_o the_o foolish_a superstition_n they_o observe_v compose_v they_o for_o europe_n in_o the_o sclavonian_a tongue_n
