A06902	The art of archerie Shewing how it is most necessary in these times for this kingdome, both in peace and war, and how it may be done without charge to the country, trouble to the people, or any hinderance to necessary occasions. Also, of the discipline, the postures, and whatsoever else is necessarie for the attayning to the art.	Markham, Gervase, 1568?-1637.	1634 (1634)	STC 17333; ESTC S111944	47,462	196

mark_n worthy_a to_o be_v mark_v of_o a_o archer_n if_o the_o prick_n stand_v on_o a_o plain_a straight_a ground_n they_o be_v the_o best_a to_o shoot_v at_o if_o the_o mark_n stand_v on_o a_o hill_n side_n or_o the_o ground_n be_v unequal_a with_o hollowness_n and_o turn_a way_n betwixt_o the_o mark_n a_o man_n eye_n will_v take_v that_o to_o be_v straight_o w●ch_o be_v crooked_a the_o experience_n of_o this_o thing_n be_v see_v in_o paint_v and_o other_o art_n where_o crookedlinesse_n appear_v straight_o by_o shadow_n but_o to_o proceed_v the_o chief_a cause_n why_o a_o man_n can_v shoot_v be_v because_o they_o look_v at_o their_o shaft_n which_o fault_n come_v for_o want_v of_o instruction_n when_o a_o man_n be_v young_a for_o he_o that_o learn_v to_o shoot_v by_o himself_o be_v afraid_a to_o pull_v the_o shaft_n out_o of_o the_o bow_n look_v still_o at_o his_o arrow_n and_o custom_n confirm_v this_o error_n as_o it_o do_v many_o other_o and_o man_n continue_v long_o in_o this_o fault_n because_o it_o have_v so_o good_a a_o virtue_n in_o the_o keep_n of_o a_o length_n therefore_o to_o keep_v this_o fault_n and_o yet_o shoot_v straight_o some_o archer_n have_v find_v out_o this_o invention_n to_o espy_v a_o tree_n or_o a_o hill_n beyond_o the_o mark_n or_o else_o to_o have_v some_o notable_a thing_n betwixt_o the_o mark_n on_o which_o he_o may_v fix_v his_o eye_n &_o his_o hand_n and_o that_o this_o be_v so_o there_o be_v once_o a_o excellent_a archer_n which_o take_v all_o his_o implement_n his_o quiver_n and_o other_o necessary_n &_o lay_v they_o in_o the_o midway_n betwixt_o the_o mark_n which_o the_o bystander_n suppose_v he_o do_v for_o safety_n sake_n but_o the_o end_n of_o his_o drift_n be_v to_o make_v he_o shoot_v straight_o there_o be_v other_o archer_n which_o will_v espy_v a_o mark_n a_o bow_n wide_a off_o the_o prick_n and_o then_o place_n himself_o on_o that_o hand_n the_o prick_n be_v on_o which_o thing_n how_o much_o good_a it_o do_v a_o man_n he_o will_v hardly_o bel●cue_v that_o do_v not_o prove_v it_o other_o and_o they_o no_o mean_a archer_n cheer_v in_o draw_v look_n at_o the_o mark_n until_o they_o come_v almost_o to_o the_o head_n than_o they_o look_v at_o the_o shaft_n but_o at_o the_o very_a loose_a with_o a_o second_o sight_n they_o find_v their_o mark_n again_o but_o this_o way_n and_o all_o the_o other_o before_o rehearse_v be_v but_o shift_n and_o foolery_n and_o not_o to_o be_v imitate_v in_o shoot_v straight_o the_o only_a way_n worthy_a pursuit_n be_v always_o to_o have_v your_o eye_n upon_o your_o mark_n and_o as_o i_o hold_v it_o be_v the_o ready_a and_o easy_a way_n to_o come_v to_o shoot_v straight_o chief_o if_o it_o be_v practise_v in_o youth_n and_o confirm_v in_o elder_a age_n now_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o scruple_n in_o man_n mind_n which_o be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o look_v at_o the_o mark_n as_o whether_o betwixt_o the_o bow_n and_o the_o string_n or_o above_o or_o beneath_o the_o hand_n and_o many_o other_o way_n beside_o but_o it_o be_v not_o much_o material_a which_o way_n a_o a_o man_n look_v at_o his_o mark_n if_o it_o vary_v not_o from_o comely_a shoot_n the_o diversity_n of_o man_n stand_n and_o draw_v cause_v diverse_a man_n to_o look_v at_o their_o mark_n diverse_a way_n yet_o they_o all_o lead_v a_o man_n hand_n to_o shoot_v straight_o if_o nothing_o else_o stop_v so_o that_o comeliness_n be_v the_o only_a judge_n of_o best_a look_v at_o the_o mark_n some_o man_n wonder_v why_o in_o cast_v a_o man_n eye_n at_o the_o mark_n the_o hand_n shall_v go_v straight_o but_o sure_o if_o he_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o a_o man_n eye_n he_o will_v not_o wonder_v at_o it_o for_o this_o i_o be_o certain_a of_o that_o no_o servant_n to_o his_o master_n no_o child_n to_o his_o father_n be_v so_o obedient_a as_o every_o joint_n and_o piece_n of_o the_o body_n be_v to_o do_v whatsoever_o the_o eye_n bid_v the_o eye_n be_v the_o guide_n the_o ruler_n and_o the_o succourer_n of_o all_o the_o other_o part_n the_o hand_n the_o foot_n and_o other_o member_n dare_v do_v nothing_o without_o the_o eye_n as_o do_v appear_v in_o the_o night_n or_o dark_a corner_n the_o eye_n be_v the_o very_a tongue_n wherewith_o wit_n and_o reason_n do_v speak_v to_o every_o part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o wit_n do_v not_o so_o soon_o fignisie_a a_o

and_o fight_v for_o as_o i_o have_v hear_v man_n say_v there_o every_o part_n stand_v in_o fear_n to_o have_v a_o blow_n run_v to_o the_o eye_n for_o help_v as_o infant_n do_v to_o the_o mother_n the_o foot_n the_o hand_n and_o all_o wait_n upon_o the_o eye_n if_o the_o eye_n bid_v the_o hand_n either_o bear_v off_o or_o strike_v or_o the_o foot_n either_o go_v forward_o or_o backward_o it_o do_v so_o and_o that_o which_o be_v most_o wonder_n of_o all_o the_o one_o man_n look_v steadfast_o at_o the_o other_o man_n eye_n and_o not_o at_o his_o hand_n will_v e●en_o as_o it_o be_v read_v in_o his_o eye_n where_o he_o purpose_v to_o strike_v next_o for_o the_o eye_n be_v not_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o a_o certain_a window_n for_o wit_n to_o shoot_v out_o her_o head_n at_o this_o wonderful_a work_n of_o god_n in_o make_v all_o the_o member_n so_o obedient_a to_o the_o eye_n be_v a_o pleasant_a thing_n to_o remember_v and_o look_v upon_o therefore_o a_o archer_n may_v be_v sure_a in_o learning_n to_o look_v at_o his_o mark_n when_o he_o be_v young_a always_o to_o shoot_v straight_o the_o thing_n that_o hinder_v a_o man_n which_o look_v at_o his_o mark_n to_o shoot_v

many_o other_o thing_n which_o you_o shall_v mark_v yourself_o and_o as_o you_o know_v they_o so_o learn_v ●o_o amend_v they_o if_o a_o man_n will_v leave_v to_o look_v at_o his_o shaft_n and_o learn_v to_o look_v at_o his_o mark_n he_o may_v use_v this_o way_n which_o a_o good_a shooter_n tell_v i_o once_o that_o he_o do_v let_v he_o take_v his_o bow_n in_o the_o night_n and_o shoot_v at_o two_o light_n and_o there_o he_o shall_v be_v compel_v to_o look_v always_o at_o his_o mark_n and_o never_o at_o his_o shaft_n this_o way_n once_o or_o twice_o use_v will_v cause_v he_o forsake_v look_v at_o his_o shaft_n yet_o let_v he_o take_v heed_n of_o set_v his_o shaft_n in_o the_o bow_n thus_o you_o see_v to_o shoot_v straight_o be_v the_o least_o mastery_n of_o all_o if_o a_o man_n order_v himself_o thereafter_o in_o his_o youth_n and_o as_o for_o keep_v a_o length_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o rule_n which_o i_o give_v will_n never_o deceive_v so_o that_o there_o shall_v lack_v
