of_o the_o fortress_n for_o answer_v whereof_o i_o say_v that_o in_o the_o first_o place_n when_o the_o enemy_n do_v assault_v the_o fort_n the_o great_a cannon_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v charge_v with_o bullet_n for_o defence_n of_o the_o say_a fort_n but_o rather_o fill_v with_o piece_n of_o iron_n or_o of_o some_o other_o mettle_n or_o with_o stone_n or_o chain_n for_o these_o thing_n work_v a_o marvelous_a effect_n against_o the_o assault_n and_o escalade_n which_o the_o enemy_n do_v give_v to_o shoot_v bullet_n in_o great_a cannon_n be_v good_a when_o the_o ditch_n be_v full_a of_o
