there_o must_v be_v out_o of_o hand_n make_v the_o ditche_n &_o the_o trench_n forasmuch_o as_o after_o this_o sort_n thou_o shall_v stand_v more_o fortefied_a whereby_o the_o sudden_a invasion_n

the_o soldier_n when_o the_o soldier_n in_o the_o winter_n be_v at_o home_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v exercise_v &_o with_o diverse_a masteris_n be_v make_v apt_a to_o fayght_n so_o that_o neither_o
