as_o concern_v soul_n to_o be_v as_o far_o above_o they_o as_o the_o soul_n be_v above_o the_o body_n this_o pious_a work_n it_o be_v well_o approve_v by_o his_o majesty_n as_o we_o be_v inform_v at_o

arm_v at_o sea_n for_o that_o be_v the_o sure_a defence_n for_o we_o can_v never_o be_v hurt_v by_o a_o foreign_a enemy_n by_o land_n till_o we_o be_v first_o beat_v at_o sea_n and_o therein_o i_o can_v give_v better_o advise_v then_o to_o do_v what_o the_o french_a king_n do_v as_o to_o repair_v and_o increase_v his_o own_o royal_a navy_n which_o be_v the_o great_a and_o best_a assure_a strength_n of_o england_n and_o to_o that_o end_n to_o set_v apart_o some_o certain_a large_a proportion_n of_o his_o revenue_n that_o his_o seaman_n may_v have_v good_a pay_n and_o well_o pay_v and_o if_o there_o be_v good_a and_o strict_a course_n take_v that_o there_o be_v no_o abuse_n in_o the_o muster_n victual_v consumption_n of_o ammunition_n which_o without_o good_a payment_n can_v well_o be_v execute_v his_o majesty_n will_v be_v a_o gainer_n thereby_o in_o matter_n of_o profit_n beside_o the_o reputation_n and_o advantage_n of_o his_o service_n and_o it_o be_v my_o opinion_n that_o no_o prince_n nor_o state_n but_o have_v better_o give_v 40_o in_o the_o hundred_o for_o money_n to_o pay_v his_o militia_n well_o than_o not_o to_o pay_v well_o then_o to_o encourage_v his_o merchant_n and_o other_o subject_n to_o trade_n and_o in_o make_v new_a plantation_n for_o his_o land-force_n that_o his_o majesty_n will_v take_v order_n that_o the_o number_n of_o train_a man_n be_v increase_v or_o rather_o that_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n from_o 18._o or_o 20._o to_o 35._o or_o 40._o as_o many_o man_n as_o be_v able_a of_o body_n be_v arm_v one_o three_o with_o pike_n and_o

of_o the_o kingdom_n in_o such_o a_o quantity_n as_o if_o it_o be_v ●nvaded_v in_o one_o or_o divers_a part_n there_o be_v no_o want_n of_o ammunition_n in_o any_o place_n for_o it_o will_v be_v then_o too_o late_o to_o fetch_v it_o elsewhere_o and_o much_o worse_o then_o to_o make_v it_o or_o send_v over_o sea_n for_o it_o that_o there_o be_v care_n take_v that_o these_o man_n then_o arm_v may_v be_v well_o exercise_v and_o to_o that_o end_n that_o there_o be_v in_o every_o hundred_o or_o wapentake_n some_o old_a soldier_n sergeant_n or_o other_o inferior_a officer_n have_v out_o of_o

will_v only_o point_v at_o some_o way_n whereby_o i_o conceive_v it_o may_v be_v reform_v the_o defect_n consist_v chief_o in_o want_n of_o fit_a horse_n and_o fit_a man_n to_o be_v horseman_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o great_a want_n of_o the_o two_o and_o can_v but_o wonder_v that_o so_o great_a a_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v so_o defective_a in_o so_o brave_a and_o noble_a a_o strength_n wherein_o our_o near_a neighbour_n so_o abound_v in_o ancient_a time_n we_o be_v not_o so_o it_o may_v be_v one_o reason_n be_v that_o now_o our_o nation_n be_v more_o addict_v to_o run_v and_o hunt_v

so_o ready_a as_o to_o give_v and_o change_v a_o pistol_n on_o sometime_o to_o exercise_v they_o by_o shoot_v at_o a_o mark_n on_o horseback_n with_o their_o pistol_n and_o always_o to_o keep_v this_o

of_o his_o majesty_n great_a officer_n and_o council_n do_v follow_v this_o example_n and_o every_o one_o to_o keep_v some_o great_a horse_n to_o have_v arm_n and_o pistol_n and_o some_o such_o
