the_o mote_n and_o to_o make_v their_o mine_n for_o to_o come_v to_o a_o general_a assault_n their_o reason_n be_v these_o 1._o all_o the_o sally_n of_o a_o garrison_n say_v they_o can_v hinder_v a_o

always_o sieve_n to_o one_o at_o least_o and_o sometime_o ten_o for_o one_o and_o therefore_o if_o the_o defendant_n in_o these_o sally_n lose_v one_o man_n their_o loss_n be_v great_a then_o if_o the_o assailant_n lose_v five_o nay_o more_o than_o ten_o because_o they_o may_v be_v supply_v and_o recrute_v but_o the_o defendant_n can_v but_o by_o the_o come_n of_o a_o great_a army_n to_o their_o relief_n 3._o when_o the_o defendant_n sally_v so_o far_o from_o their_o rampiar_n as_o to_o endeavour_v to_o impede_fw-la the_o encamp_a of_o the_o assailant_n or_o the_o make_n of_o their_o

good_a party_n of_o horse_n of_o the_o assailant_n can_v get_v between_o their_o rampiar_n and_o they_o which_o if_o they_o do_v as_o it_o have_v be_v oftentimes_o effect_v the_o strength_n and_o the_o courage_n of_o the_o defendant_n be_v much_o weaken_a and_o the_o town_n in_o a_o manner_n half_o reduce_v therefore_o say_v they_o it_o be_v safe_a and_o a_o part_n of_o great_a wisdom_n for_o a_o governor_n to_o keep_v in_o his_o man_n till_o the_o assailant_n be_v near_o the_o country_n escarpe_a that_o their_o retreat_n may_v be_v secure_v by_o their_o musket_n shoot_v from_o the_o

the_o shot_n or_o to_o discharge_v a_o drake_n or_o two_o when_o they_o see_v some_o commander_n of_o quality_n come_v near_o to_o view_v their_o outwork_n for_o such_o expense_n be_v not_o always_o

of_o english-state_n in_o bavier_n on_o the_o other_o side_n some_o other_o commander_n maintain_v 1._o that_o if_o a_o garrison_n do_v keep_v within_o their_o rampiar_n and_o make_v no_o sally_n at_o all_o that_o the_o assailant_n be_v encourage_v by_o it_o and_o suppose_v the_o town_n to_o be_v weak_o man_v or_o ill_o provide_v of_o ammunition_n if_o they_o be_v not_o lavish_a of_o their_o
