advantageous_a occasion_n to_o employ_v his_o arm_n and_o thus_o if_o the_o first_o be_v capable_a of_o commit_v fault_n out_o of_o a_o desire_n to_o fill_v his_o purse_n the_o last_o be_v liable_a to_o do_v the_o same_o in_o order_n to_o secure_v his_o life_n among_o man_n of_o courage_n some_o be_v natural_o valiant_a and_o other_o be_v only_o so_o by_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v shoulder_n than_o captain_n by_o reason_n that_o their_o valour_n be_v common_o accompany_v with_o brutality_n but_o the_o last_o be_v good_a to_o make_v commander_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v always_o to_o be_v wish_v that_o their_o reasonable_a valour_n may_v not_o be_v void_a of_o natural_a courage_n because_o otherwise_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o the_o consideration_n of_o many_o incovenience_n which_o may_v happen_v and_o yet_o do_v not_o happen_v may_v hinder_v he_o who_o proceed_v with_o too_o much_o caution_n from_o undertake_v that_o which_o may_v succeed_v in_o other_o with_o less_o wit_n and_o more_o boldness_n want_v of_o judgement_n contribute_v considerable_o towards_o the_o valour_n of_o some_o man_n who_o perform_v action_n which_o be_v the_o more_o hazardous_a in_o that_o they_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o the_o peril_n to_o which_o they_o expose_v themselves_o judgement_n be_v of_o no_o small_a use_n to_o other_o to_o feign_v a_o great_a boldness_n on_o some_o occasion_n which_o though_o dangerous_a in_o appearance_n be_v neither_o so_o in_o effect_n nor_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o who_o god_n have_v endue_v with_o more_o knowledge_n than_o other_o as_o a_o general_n be_v valour_n must_v not_o be_v destitute_a of_o judgement_n so_o though_o he_o be_v prudent_a and_o judicious_a to_o the_o high_a degree_n he_o must_v have_v sincerity_n to_o hinder_v he_o from_o make_v artifices_fw-la pass_n for_o action_n of_o courage_n man_n disguise_v themselves_o so_o many_o different_a way_n that_o it_o be_v almost_o impossible_a to_o distinguish_v the_o effect_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o head_n from_o those_o which_o proceed_v from_o the_o heart_n there_o be_v man_n so_o naturaly_a valiant_a that_o they_o continue_v so_o to_o their_o die_a day_n other_o which_o not_o be_v so_o make_v a_o effort_n in_o their_o youth_n to_o appear_v such_o to_o gain_v some_o reputation_n in_o favour_n of_o which_o they_o may_v pass_v their_o life_n without_o infamy_n these_o last_o have_v no_o soon_o obtain_v their_o end_n but_o the_o effect_n of_o their_o valour_n disappear_v because_o they_o have_v what_o they_o desire_v and_o that_o artifice_n be_v the_o source_n of_o their_o courage_n and_o not_o their_o natural_a inclination_n great_a care_n must_v be_v take_v not_o to_o choose_v a_o chief_a of_o that_o nature_n remember_v that_o craft_n be_v as_o dangerous_a in_o those_o who_o command_v as_o judgement_n and_o courage_n be_v necessary_a those_o two_o quality_n ought_v almost_o to_o keep_v a_o even_a pace_n but_o they_o must_v be_v accompany_v with_o many_o other_o great_a enterprise_v not_o be_v child_n play_n they_o require_v a_o ripe_a age_n in_o those_o who_o perform_v they_o but_o as_o the_o maturity_n of_o judgement_n which_o advance_v with_o year_n be_v useful_a to_o form_v a_o design_n the_o fire_n of_o youth_n be_v no_o less_o necesseary_a to_o put_v it_o in_o execution_n and_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o fortune_n often_o smile_v on_o youth_n and_o frown_n on_o age._n therefore_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o a_o novice_n a_o young_a man_n and_o a_o old_a one_o it_o be_v difficult_a to_o be_v good_a and_o bad_a at_o once_o to_o be_v excellent_a it_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v young_a in_o year_n but_o not_o in_o service_n and_o experience_n for_o though_o old_a man_n be_v common_o the_o wise_a they_o be_v not_o the_o best_a to_o undertake_v because_o they_o be_v often_o destitute_a of_o the_o fire_n of_o youth_n which_o be_v requisite_a in_o such_o occasion_n in_o conclusion_n courage_n wit_n and_o good_a fortune_n be_v three_o qualification_n so_o essential_a in_o a_o general_n that_o though_o there_o be_v but_o few_o who_o possess_v they_o altogether_o it_o be_v difficult_a to_o expect_v without_o hazard_n great_a event_n from_o those_o who_o be_v destitute_a of_o either_o of_o they_o but_o if_o a_o prince_n be_v so_o happy_a as_o to_o find_v any_o in_o who_o these_o qualification_n be_v meet_v it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o remedy_v the_o defect_n of_o those_o who_o shall_v be_v commit_v to_o their_o conduct_n one_o of_o those_o which_o do_v most_o harm_n as_o i_o have_v observe_v be_v the_o inconstancy_n of_o our_o nation_n which_o render_v it_o almost_o incapable_a of_o remain_v long_o in_o the_o same_o state_n a_o army_n be_v no_o soon_o raise_v but_o one_o half_a of_o it_o dwindle_n away_o subsist_v i_o have_v think_v sometime_o that_o the_o best_a expedient_a that_o can_v be_v take_v to_o make_v soldier_n subsist_v and_o to_o maintain_v they_o in_o discipline_n will_v be_v to_o restore_v the_o establishment_n of_o legionarys_n former_o practise_v in_o this_o kingdom_n add_v some_o particular_a order_n to_o it_o altogether_o necessary_a to_o make_v it_o safe_a but_o reason_n and_o experience_n have_v alter_v my_o mind_n reason_n in_o that_o it_o show_v clear_o that_o what_o be_v commit_v to_o the_o care_n of_o many_o be_v the_o less_o certain_a in_o that_o every_o one_o lay_v the_o blame_n upon_o his_o companion_n and_o that_o the_o election_n which_o be_v make_v by_o the_o advice_n of_o community_n be_v rare_o make_v by_o the_o bare_a motive_n of_o reason_n because_o that_o though_o there_o be_v many_o person_n of_o wisdom_n and_o probity_n among_o they_o the_o number_n of_o fool_n and_o of_o knave_n be_v always_o the_o great_a experience_n in_o that_o it_o teach_v every_o body_n that_o no_o money_n be_v lay_v out_o worse_o than_o that_o of_o community_n church_n beside_o that_o i_o may_v say_v with_o truth_n that_o when_o ever_o the_o urgent_a necessity_n of_o the_o state_n have_v constrain_v your_o majesty_n to_o employ_v force_n send_v by_o prince_n lead_v and_o pay_v by_o their_o own_o officer_n which_o i_o have_v see_v twice_o during_o this_o last_o war_n they_o have_v always_o cost_v double_a and_o have_v commit_v as_o much_o and_o more_o disorder_n than_o the_o other_o and_o have_v do_v less_o service_n than_o those_o which_o be_v raise_v at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o conduct_v by_o particular_a person_n at_o your_o charge_n those_o consideration_n have_v convince_v i_o that_o instead_o of_o charge_v the_o province_n with_o the_o raise_v and_o maintain_v of_o soldier_n sovereign_n ought_v to_o take_v the_o care_n of_o it_o and_o that_o they_o may_v make_v they_o subsist_v with_o order_n if_o they_o will_v use_v proper_a mean_n to_o that_o end_n according_a to_o the_o follow_a order_n all_o soldier_n must_v be_v list_a their_o name_n place_n of_o birth_n and_o of_o abode_n enter_v that_o in_o case_n they_o shall_v run_v away_o from_o their_o colour_n they_o may_v be_v the_o soon_o find_v again_o the_o register_n of_o every_o place_n must_v be_v charge_v with_o the_o number_n of_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v raise_v within_o his_o precinct_n and_o the_o judge_n oblige_v to_o use_v their_o endeavour_n for_o the_o apprehend_n and_o punish_v according_a to_o the_o ordinance_n all_o those_o who_o shall_v come_v back_o from_o the_o arm_n without_o leave_n

of_o a_o evident_a illness_n on_o condition_n that_o the_o say_a term_n be_v expire_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v lawful_a to_o refuse_v it_o they_o when_o demand_v this_o condition_n be_v very_o necessary_a by_o reason_n that_o when_o the_o french_a think_v themselves_o constrain_v and_o keep_v against_o their_o will_n they_o common_o think_v of_o nothing_o but_o run_v away_o though_o they_o
