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 construction_n of_o a_o captain_n of_o worth_n do_v so_o commend_v your_o martial_a skill_n that_o i_o think_v a_o man_n of_o your_o experience_n be_v more_o worthy_a to_o be_v make_v a_o great_a

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 and_o for_o this_o sufficiency_n that_o you_o find_v to_o be_v in_o i_o i_o do_v as_o high_o commend_v your_o judgement_n that_o can_v so_o ready_o discern_v it_o and_o although_o that_o i_o have_v hitherto_o hide_v my_o talon_n yet_o now_o see_v so_o many_o man_n of_o less_o train_n then_o myself_o be_v so_o ready_a to_o thrust_v themselves_o forward_o and_o many_o time_n have_v obtain_v what_o

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 they_o have_v it_o he_o that_o have_v live_v all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n at_o home_n among_o his_o friend_n and_o never_o see_v a_o enemy_n that_o may_v hurt_v he_o and_o now_o will_v make_v a_o special_a suit_n to_o be_v a_o captain_n and_o to_o appose_v himself_o into_o so_o many_o peril_n as_o he_o know_v not_o what_o they_o be_v nor_o what_o they_o mean_v who_o will_v deny_v this_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 skill_n and_o how_o shall_v he_o come_v by_o that_o martial_a knowledge_n that_o never_o come_v in_o the_o field_n pill_n and_o wherefore_o do_v man_n seek_v charge_n but_o because_o they_o be_v willing_a to_o learn_v skill_n let_v they_o first_o learn_v to_o obey_v before_o they_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o command_v pill_n it_o be_v a_o base_a mind_n in_o a_o gentleman_n to_o serve_v 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 presumption_n for_o a_o gentleman_n t●_n indevoure_v himself_o to_o serve_v his_o prince_n and_o country_n skill_n i_o say_v it_o be_v the_o most_o honourable_a thing_n that_o any_o gentleman_n can_v indevoure_v but_o i_o call_v it_o presumption_n in_o he_o that_o will_v take_v upon_o he_o to_o command_v before_o he_o have_v experience_n how_o pill_n and_o how_o be_v experience_n soon_o attain_v 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 ignorant_a captain_n do_v buy_v their_o experience_n with_o the_o price_n of_o man_n life_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o old_a time_n there_o be_v great_a regard_n have_v in_o the_o choose_n of_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
