he_o be_v to_o be_v fall_v upon_o where_o he_o be_v weak_a i_o know_v that_o to_o take_v it_o general_o that_o empire_n have_v already_o lose_v much_o of_o its_o strength_n as_o i_o will_v show_v by_o

be_v not_o so_o strong_a by_o sea_n as_o by_o land_n want_v good_a ship_n but_o above_o all_o able_a seaman_n and_o experience_a sea-officer_n that_o empire_n have_v ever_o employ_v itself_o by_o

the_o venetian_n alone_o or_o at_o least_o weak_o assist_v by_o the_o knight_n of_o maltha_n etc._n etc._n have_v of_o late_o very_o often_o obtain_v by_o sea_n glorious_a victory_n over_o that_o enemy_n but_o to_o make_v some_o overture_n of_o that_o which_o upon_o occasion_n may_v be_v more_o enlarge_v upon_o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v well_o to_o get_v a_o matter_n of_o twenty_o five_o or_o thirty_o good_a ship_n carry_v aboard_o a_o land-army_n not_o under_o fifteen_o nor_o above_o twenty_o thousand_o to_o land_n they_o upon_o occasion_n in_o one_o place_n or_o other_o and_o in_o case_n

from_o that_o place_n so_o that_o at_o last_o one_o place_n or_o other_o can_v be_v surprise_v or_o at_o least_o it_o will_v keep_v the_o enemy_n every_o where_n in_o continual_a alarm_n whereat_o

further_o that_o with_o the_o help_n of_o some_o stranger_n and_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o those_o few_o light_a horseman_n which_o they_o can_v raise_v out_o of_o their_o own_o dominion_n they_o can_v for_o a_o while_o be_v master_n of_o the_o field_n but_o at_o last_o they_o can_v not_o keep_v it_o and_o of_o this_o kind_n of_o man_n they_o can_v set_v on_o foot_n somewhat_o above_o 6000_o light_a

have_v weak_a horse_n and_o themselves_o be_v not_o well_o arm_v they_o can_v hold_v out_o very_o long_o against_o the_o enemy_n the_o latter_a likewise_o be_v not_o much_o worth_n only_o inasmuch_o as_o they_o have_v better_a horse_n than_o the_o former_a and_o because_o also_o they_o be_v better_a man_n nevertheless_o the_o republic_n keep_v on_o foot_n but_o few_o troop_n of_o those_o of_o
