that_o be_v worth_a much_o and_o therefore_o he_o that_o will_v be_v a_o captain_n of_o worth_n he_o must_v learn_v to_o shift_v betimes_o or_o it_o will_v not_o be_v skill_n captain_n pill_n your_o

pill_n i_o tell_v you_o captain_n skill_n my_o word_n be_v mystical_a and_o not_o to_o be_v conceit_v by_o every_o ordinary_a soldier_n that_o be_v but_o of_o a_o dark_a &_o cloudy_a understanding_n

much_o less_o captain_n be_v not_o so_o much_o appoint_v for_o the_o knowledge_n they_o have_v get_v by_o service_n as_o for_o the_o friend_n they_o be_v able_a to_o make_v my_o lord_n he_o speak_v

valiance_n be_v a_o special_a virtue_n for_o a_o soldier_n if_o these_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v it_o pill_n why_o who_o will_v deny_v it_o they_o or_o make_v any_o doubt_n but_o that_o

when_o they_o come_v to_o the_o field_n pill_n why_o shall_v you_o think_v so_o do_v you_o imagine_v that_o martial_a knowledge_n fit_a for_o the_o field_n be_v to_o be_v learn_v at_o a_o school_n

unless_o he_o may_v command_v skill_n it_o be_v a_o vain_a presumptuous_a mind_n in_o any_o man_n to_o seek_v to_o command_v before_o he_o know_v how_o to_o command_v pill_n do_v you_o call_v it_o

unto_o then_o for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v in_o place_n where_o he_o may_v command_v skill_n but_o that_o experience_n be_v at_o too_o high_a a_o rate_n for_o the_o unskilful_a physician_n and_o the_o

their_o captain_n and_o no_o man_n may_v command_v or_o have_v authority_n that_o be_v under_o thirty_o year_n of_o age_n but_o alexander_n among_o the_o rest_n admit_v none_o to_o the_o place_n of_o
