same_o trust_n beside_o that_o the_o employ_v such_o man_n will_v not_o be_v suitable_a to_o the_o design_n of_o breed_v the_o man_n of_o quality_n and_o estate_n to_o command_v as_o well_o as_o the_o

because_o though_o we_o have_v many_o excellent_a model_n of_o militia_n deliver_v to_o we_o by_o ancient_a author_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o use_n of_o they_o in_o time_n of_o war_n yet_o they_o
