or_o draught_n in_o vain_a if_o it_o be_v not_o upon_o great_a necessity_n second_o you_o must_v not_o make_v a_o fault_n three_o you_o must_v not_o be_v too_o hasty_a to_o play_v four_o if_o you_o have_v a_o good_a draught_n to_o make_v look_v if_o you_o have_v not_o a_o better_a five_o if_o you_o have_v advantage_n you_o may_v well_o make_v a_o change_n and_o yet_o not_o loose_v it_o six_o if_o you_o have_v advantage_n wherewith_o you_o may_v win_v the_o game_n take_v heed_n that_o you_o spoil_v not_o your_o game_n nor_o to_o abandon_v your_o king_n to_o win_v only_o a_o pawn_n seventh_o the_o principal_a thing_n be_v to_o set_v your_o king_n in_o a_o sure_a place_n when_o he_o march_v forth_o eight_o the_o two_o pawn_n which_o be_v on_o that_o side_n where_o the_o king_n be_v transport_v must_v not_o be_v remove_v but_o in_o great_a necessity_n for_o that_o oftentimes_o the_o game_n be_v lose_v by_o remove_v the_o rook_n pawn_v or_o knight_n pawn_v one_o room_n because_o that_o there_o the_o contrary_a king_n find_v the_o way_n of_o the_o mate_n nine_o than_o you_o must_v go_v abroad_o with_o your_o piece_n and_o not_o keep_v they_o enclose_v at_o home_n last_o it_o be_v good_a that_o the_o two_o pawn_n of_o the_o king_n and_o the_o queen_n be_v upon_o their_o four_o house_n and_o also_o those_o of_o the_o bishop_n it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v for_o the_o well_o understand_v of_o the_o march_v forth_o of_o the_o chess_n man_n that_o the_o chessboard_n ought_v to_o be_v set_v in_o such_o sort_n that_o the_o rook_n on_o the_o right_a side_n be_v set_v in_o a_o white_a place_n and_o take_v the_o chess_n man_n which_o you_o will_v white_a or_o black_a further_o you_o must_v know_v the_o name_n of_o the_o piece_n and_o of_o the_o place_n for_o the_o chess_n man_n that_o be_v on_o the_o king_n side_n be_v name_v the_o king_n chess_n man_n and_o likewise_o the_o king_n house_n unto_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o chess_n board_n and_o from_o thence_o forward_o be_v the_o contrary_a king_n house_n as_o for_o example_n the_o pawn_n which_o be_v before_o thy_o king_n be_v in_o the_o second_o house_n of_o thy_o king_n and_o if_o thou_o remove_v he_o one_o step_n he_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o three_o or_o if_o he_o go_v further_o in_o the_o four_o house_n of_o the_o king_n but_o afterwards_o and_o if_o he_o do_v go_v further_o yet_o he_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o four_o house_n of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o contrary_a part_n and_o so_o of_o all_o the_o other_o chess_n man_n on_o that_o side_n the_o other_o side_n be_v that_o of_o the_o queen_n as_o well_o in_o chess_n man_n as_o in_o house_n therefore_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v it_o needful_a to_o have_v before_o you_o a_o chess_n board_n with_o the_o chess_n man_n for_o to_o see_v with_o your_o eye_n the_o art_n which_o brief_o shall_v be_v declare_v in_o this_o treatise_n and_o so_o after_o presuppose_v the_o game_n you_o may_v begin_v after_o two_o sort_n to_o play_v it_o as_o follow_v the_o first_o manner_n of_o play_v the_o first_o manner_n be_v to_o begin_v with_o the_o king_n pawn_n and_o the_o second_o be_v to_o begin_v with_o the_o queen_n pawn_n the_o first_o according_a to_o my_o judgement_n be_v the_o best_a that_o be_v to_o wit_n to_o begin_v with_o the_o king_n pawn_v as_o far_o as_o he_o may_v go_v and_o if_o the_o contrary_a party_n play_v the_o king_n pawn_v as_o far_o as_o he_o may_v thou_o shall_v play_v thy_o king_n knight_n to_o three_o house_n from_o the_o king_n bishop_n and_o if_o he_o play_v his_o king_n knight_n to_o three_o house_n from_o the_o king_n bishop_n thou_o shall_v take_v with_o thy_o knight_n his_o king_n pawn_n and_o if_o he_o take_v also_o thy_o pawn_n with_o his_o knight_n play_v thy_o queen_n before_o thy_o king_n and_o if_o he_o retire_v his_o knight_n into_o the_o three_o house_n of_o his_o king_n bishop_n thou_o shall_v give_v he_o check_v with_o thy_o queen_n in_o turn_v she_o away_o from_o thy_o knight_n the_o which_o thou_o shall_v remove_v into_o the_o

three_o house_n of_o his_o queen_n bishop_n and_o then_o he_o can_v not_o play_v so_o well_o but_o that_o he_o shall_v loose_v his_o queen_n and_o if_o he_o remove_v not_o his_o knight_n but_o play_v his_o queen_n before_o his_o king_n thou_o shall_v take_v his_o knight_n with_o thy_o queen_n then_o he_o will_v play_v his_o queen_n pawn_n one_o room_n against_o thy_o knight_n to_o the_o end_n that_o if_o thou_o remove_v it_o from_o thence_o he_o may_v take_v thy_o queen_n therefore_o thou_o shall_v play_v thy_o queen_n pawn_n as_o far_o as_o he_o may_v go_v and_o if_o he_o play_v the_o pawn_n of_o his_o king_n bishop_n one_o step_n thou_o shall_v play_v the_o pawn_n of_o thy_o king_n bishop_n as_o far_o as_o he_o may_v go_v and_o if_o he_o take_v thy_o knight_n with_o his_o queen_n pawn_n thou_o shall_v take_v his_o pawn_n with_o that_o of_o thou_o and_o if_o he_o play_v his_o other_o knight_n to_o the_o second_o house_n of_o his_o queen_n thou_o shall_v remove_v thou_o to_o the_o three_o house_n of_o thy_o queen_n bishop_n by_o that_o mean_v thy_o queen_n shall_v remain_v safe_a and_o if_o the_o pawn_n of_o his_o king_n bishop_n do_v take_v thy_o pawn_n thou_o shall_v play_v thy_o knight_n to_o the_o four_o place_n of_o his_o queen_n to_o take_v she_o but_o if_o he_o set_v she_o in_o her_o three_o house_n then_o shall_v thou_o take_v his_o pawn_n with_o thou_o and_o if_o he_o take_v thy_o pawn_n with_o his_o knight_n thou_o shall_v set_v thy_o queen_n bishop_n in_o the_o four_o house_n of_o thy_o king_n bishop_n and_o so_o of_o force_n he_o shall_v lose_v his_o knight_n but_o if_o he_o take_v not_o thy_o pawn_n with_o his_o knight_n he_o be_v like_a to_o lose_v his_o own_o if_o in_o steed_n of_o take_v thy_o pawn_n with_o his_o knight_n he_o take_v it_o with_o his_o queen_n thou_o shall_v take_v he_o with_o thou_o which_o after_o shall_v be_v take_v with_o his_o knight_n this_o do_v thou_o shall_v give_v he_o check_v with_o thy_o knight_n in_o take_v the_o pawn_n of_o his_o queen_n bishop_n and_o he_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o loose_v his_o queen_n rook_n and_o if_o he_o take_v not_o thy_o pawn_n but_o to_o save_v his_o queen_n place_v she_o in_o the_o three_o house_n of_o his_o queen_n bishop_n thou_o shall_v play_v thy_o king_n bishop_n to_o the_o four_o house_n of_o his_o queen_n knight_n for_o to_o take_v she_o and_o if_o instead_o of_o take_v she_o she_o take_v thy_o bishop_n thou_o shall_v give_v he_o check_v with_o thy_o knight_n in_o take_v the_o pawn_n of_o his_o queen_n bishop_n then_o shall_v thou_o take_v his_o

thou_o shall_v play_v the_o pawn_n of_o thy_o queen_n knight_n as_o far_o as_o he_o may_v go_v for_o to_o take_v his_o queen_n than_o he_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o set_v his_o queen_n in_o the_o
