A13248	The schoole of the noble and worthy science of defence Being the first of any English-mans inuention, which professed the sayd science; so plainly described, that any man may quickly come to the true knowledge of their weapons, with small paines and little practise. Then reade it aduisedly, and vse the benefit thereof when occasion shal serue, so shalt thou be a good common-wealth man, liue happy to thy selfe, and comfortable to thy friend. Also many other good and profitable precepts and counsels for the managing of quarrels, and ordering thy selfe in many other matters. Written by Ioseph Svvetnam.

example_n of_o patience_n show_v by_o king_n david_n in_o the_o second_o of_o samuel_n 16.6.10_o david_n be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o army_n there_o come_v a_o fellow_n with_o curse_v and_o
