that_o exercise_v this_o office_n see_v that_o it_o have_v be_v and_o ordinary_o be_v see_v that_o in_o time_n and_o place_n of_o necessity_n the_o squadron_n can_v be_v form_n by_o reason_n of_o

this_o man_n shall_v obtain_v good_a success_n which_o be_v to_o be_v fortunate_a and_o happy_a therefore_o the_o greek_n and_o roman_n do_v with_o good_a cause_n require_v that_o these_o foresay_a

vargas_n you_o have_v show_v i_o the_o spring_n beginning_n and_o signification_n of_o the_o name_n of_o seargeant_n maior_n and_o seargeant_n and_o what_o the_o seargeant_n mayor_n be_v and_o the_o

but_o first_o i_o beseech_v you_o to_o resolve_v i_o of_o one_o doubt_n which_o be_v that_o i_o know_v not_o whether_o they_o that_o live_v in_o ancient_a time_n pass_v have_v this_o office_n of_o the_o seargeant_n maior_n londonno_n i_o have_v not_o read_v that_o the_o lacedaemonian_n greek_n and_o roman_n among_o which_o nation_n do_v warfare_n flourish_v most_o have_v have_v it_o but_o we_o may_v read_v that_o they_o have_v and_o use_v diverse_a manner_n of_o battle_n and_o squadron_n and_o i_o believe_v this_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n if_o i_o be_v not_o deceive_v that_o they_o have_v no_o seargeant_n mayor_n because_o this_o office_n be_v discharge_v by_o certain_a other_o officer_n as_o we_o may_v gather_v out_o of_o those_o that_o have_v write_v de_fw-fr ●e_n militari_fw-la viz._n that_o the_o captain_n general_n and_o chief_a head_n of_o the_o army_n understanding_n and_o perceive_v of_o how_o great_a moment_n and_o importance_n the_o good_a order_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o squadron_n or_o battle_n be_v in_o which_o consist_v all_o the_o force_n of_o the_o whole_a army_n they_o will_v trust_v no_o particular_a man_n with_o this_o office_n but_o themselves_o dispose_v their_o army_n and_o make_v the_o squadron_n of_o which_o they_o use_v sundry_a and_o different_a kind_n and_o manner_n according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o weapon_n with_o which_o in_o those_o time_n they_o accustom_v to_o encounter_v with_o their_o enemy_n and_o also_o their_o soldier_n be_v so_o well_o instruct_v and_o so_o skilful_a that_o in_o a_o very_a great_a and_o huge_a army_n there_o be_v not_o one_o soldier_n but_o know_v his_o place_n in_o the_o squadron_n for_o the_o easy_a obtain_n of_o which_o knowledge_n there_o be_v many_o school_n in_o rome_n as_o titus_n livy_n write_v where_o those_o young_a soldier_n which_o they_o call_v tyrones_n among_o we_o fresh_a water_n soldier_n be_v not_o only_o teach_v and_o show_v how_o to_o be_v apt_a and_o quick_a in_o use_v any_o kind_n of_o weapon_n but_o they_o be_v also_o instruct_v how_o they_o shall_v keep_v their_o place_n that_o every_o man_n may_v have_v and_o know_v his_o own_o several_a place_n in_o which_o thing_n they_o be_v so_o well_o instruct_v that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a easy_a matter_n and_o little_a or_o no_o labour_n trouble_n or_o difficulty_n at_o all_o to_o frame_v and_o make_v the_o squadron_n and_o they_o become_v daily_o the_o more_o fit_a and_o apt_a as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v not_o without_o a_o hnge_n &_o perpetual_a army_n and_o the_o same_o livy_n say_v that_o the_o young_a soldier_n exercise_v themselves_o twice_o a_o day_n and_o the_o old_a beat_a soldier_n but_o once_o a_o day_n and_o this_o most_o excellent_a order_n which_o the_o roman_n observe_v above_o all_o other_o nation_n cause_v they_o so_o to_o enlarge_v their_o empire_n and_o to_o become_v almost_o invincible_a throughout_o the_o world_n whereas_o notwithstanding_o as_o vegetius_n very_o well_o say_v they_o be_v neither_o so_o great_a as_o the_o german_n nor_o more_o in_o number_n then_o the_o french_a man_n nor_o so_o subtle_a as_o the_o african_n nor_o so_o many_o or_o of_o such_o force_n as_o the_o spaniard_n nor_o so_o wise_a as_o greek_n but_o the_o soldier_n exercise_v and_o instruct_v in_o warfare_n do_v conquer_v and_o overcome_v all_o these_o difficulty_n it_o be_v a_o very_a easy_a matter_n in_o proof_n of_o this_o truth_n here_o to_o allege_v many_o example_n both_o old_a and_o new_a of_o many_o excellent_a captain_n who_o with_o little_a army_n well_o instruct_v
