will_v grudge_v by_o reason_n all_o or_o the_o most_o part_n of_o these_o company_n belong_v unto_o they_o for_o example_n our_o band_n of_o horseman_n pensioner_n do_v account_v they_o the_o fair_a band_n of_o ordinance_n in_o europe_n for_o the_o number_n because_o all_o the_o man_n at_o arm_n be_v gentleman_n of_o quality_n wherefore_o i_o do_v value_v this_o band_n better_o than_o twice_o as_o many_o of_o any_o other_o let_v they_o be_v of_o what_o nation_n soever_o i_o may_v speak_v it_o by_o good_a experience_n out_o of_o this_o band_n there_o may_v be_v pick_v 15._o or_o 20._o sufficient_a to_o answer_v so_o many_o at_o all_o deed_n of_o arm_n let_v it_o be_v choose_v out_o of_o any_o army_n be_v it_o never_o so_o great_a consider_v their_o charge_n in_o pay_n expense_n in_o victual_n munition_n and_o their_o liberty_n for_o duty_n i_o mean_v to_o convoy_n guard_n and_o to_o watch_v so_o many_o private_a launtier_n as_o this_o fair_a band_n muster_n in_o all_o of_o horse_n under_o their_o ensign_n or_o guidon_n will_v excel_v they_o my_o reason_n be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o because_o every_o launtier_n be_v a_o master_n and_o receive_v his_o own_o pay_n to_o prove_v hargulatier_n more_o serviceable_a than_o spear_n man_n term_v by_o we_o light_a horseman_n the_o difference_n betwixt_o our_o northern_a spear_n light_a horseman_n we_o term_v they_o and_o the_o light_a horseman_n term_v by_o the_o stranger_n hargulatier_n as_o much_o to_o say_v hargabush_n or_o petronel_n on_o horseback_n touch_v the_o mount_a and_o arm_v of_o these_o hargulatier_n i_o show_v you_o before_o the_o service_n of_o all_o light_a horseman_n consist_v chief_o in_o march_v of_o great_a march_n cavalgades_n the_o stranger_n term_v it_o i_o mean_v to_o surprise_v company_n a_o far_o off_o in_o their_o lodging_n or_o march_n likewise_o to_o defeat_v convoy_n &_o to_o conduct_v convoy_n as_o much_o to_o say_v direct_v it_o to_o spoil_v necessary_n that_o come_v to_o

frenchmen_n for_o these_o service_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o have_v in_o army_n or_o troop_n for_o every_o 500_o launtier_n or_o arm_a cuirass_n 100_o of_o these_o kind_n of_o light_a horse_n from_o that_o rate_n to_o the_o great_a number_n if_o horseman_n be_v direct_v to_o assail_v troop_n at_o their_o lodging_n either_o in_o village_n strait_n or_o field_n where_o it_o require_v too_o great_a a_o march_n for_o footman_n to_o keep_v company_n with_o the_o horseman_n without_o doubt_n these_o hargulatier_n be_v far_o better_o than_o the_o speareman_n my_o reason_n be_v these_o when_o the_o horseman_n approach_v the_o enemy_n if_o it_o be_v in_o a_o village_n light_o they_o must_v pass_v through_o barrier_n and_o narrow_a strait_n bar_v with_o wagon_n both_o of_o victual_n &_o of_o their_o man_n of_o war_n where_o common_o the_o enemy_n keep_v guard_n &_o watch_n if_o the_o passage_n be_v such_o either_o in_o enter_v a_o village_n or_o straight_o that_o horseman_n can_v find_v place_n to_o enter_v and_o to_o charge_n these_o hargulatiers_n light_n on_o foot_n &_o do_v no_o less_o duty_n than_o foot_n hargabushier_v if_o the_o enemy_n be_v lodge_v either_o too_o strong_o or_o to_o many_o for_o the_o assailant_n to_o do_v any_o good_a on_o their_o quarter_n as_o you_o must_v think_v a_o 1000_o strong_o lodge_v in_o a_o village_n or_o straight_o with_o good_a guard_n and_o order_n be_v worth_a 2000_o without_o let_v they_o be_v of_o one_o valour_n and_o conduct_n than_o the_o assailant_n will_v address_v a_o ambush_n perhaps_o in_o a_o passage_n or_o narrow_a straight_a short_a of_o the_o enemy_n quarter_n where_o he_o will_v also_o cause_v all_o or_o the_o most_o of_o those_o hargulatier_n to_o light_n than_o place_n and_o hide_v they_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o 100_o shot_n will_v spoil_v and_o defend_v ten_o time_n more_o than_o themselves_o unless_o the_o enemy_n bring_v shoot_v to_o displace_v they_o if_o they_o do_v the_o ambush_n may_v dislodge_v if_o he_o think_v the_o party_n unequal_a the_o which_o he_o can_v not_o be_v his_o hargulatiers_n hargabusher_n without_o horse_n be_v engage_v to_o fight_v i_o confess_v also_o the_o hargulatier_n far_o better_a than_o the_o speareman_n for_o this_o service_n if_o troop_n of_o arm_a cuirass_n launtier_n or_o other_o chance_v to_o meet_v by_o fortune_n with_o the_o like_a enemy_n in_o a_o

both_o side_n to_o their_o fellow_n they_o place_v their_o arm_a hargulatier_n behind_o the_o squadron_n they_o execute_v more_o than_o the_o launtier_n after_o the_o launtier_n break_v into_o the_o enemy_n squadron_n for_o the_o arm_a hargulatier_n ought_v to_o be_v as_o well_o mount_v and_o arm_v for_o cuirass_n and_o cask_n save_v their_o beaver_n as_o the_o launtier_n the_o most_o of_o they_o as_o i_o show_v you_o before_o carry_v a_o pistol_n beside_o his_o caliver_n or_o petronel_n let_v it_o be_v for_o what_o service_n captain_n can_v devise_v these_o hargulatier_n be_v better_a than_o
