discipline and all good partes to the perfection of infanterie with incouragement to the souldiers that with them the Colonell may attaine honor glory and fame by his actions and militarie courses Gent. Thus it seemeth that this name of Camp-maister is but moderne Capt. True Neither the name of Colonell very auncient Gent. Then how were those called before time which had the gouernement of souldiers in armies Capt. They were called Duces guides of which amongst the Romanes there were three sortes or differences viz. Duces Militares Duces Prouinciales and Duces Limitanei intituling those Duces Militares which went ordinarily with the armies hauing each vnder their charge and rule one thousand men or more as haue now our CaÌ„p-maisters or Colonels or rather our Generals The other intituled Duces Prouinciales were those which had all the souldiers of one Prouince vnder their commaund and charge as haue the Camp-maisters of the Tertios of Naples Sicilia Lombardie The third called Duces Limitanei were those which had vnder their charge and gouernement all the men of warre on the frontiers to the enemies as had our Lord Marchers in England Gent. Thus the titles of Dukes sprong first from the warres Capt. So did the titles of Earles Marquises and Knights But now to returne to our matter The Colonels companie or bande doth preceede all the other companies of his Regiment both in place and in all other occasions And now for to know how to commaund and gouerne all the officers of his band and of all the other coÌ„panies in his regiment he ought most perfectly to vnderstand that which toucheth euery particular officer euen from the Capo de squadra vnto the Sergeant Maior and it would bee a matter of great importance to haue exercised and to haue risen vp through all these offices the better how to know and perfectionate his owne for by knowing this the Captaine the Sergeant Maior and all the rest will walke more warily and passe more punctually in the accomplishing of all their charges and duties knowing that they haue a commaunder so skilfull which quickly will perceiue either their vertues or vices perswading them to the one disswading theÌ„ from the other the which in actions of warre do either greatly helpe or greatly hinder In the squadra which belongeth to himselfe out of his owne companie there ought to bee souldiers of great experience and valour which should be aduantaged in their payes and whom he must esteeme and make great account of consulting often with them with his Captaines officers of best cariage most experience in his companies For many times a priuate souldier of experience and iudgement will giue better reasons counsell and aduise then many other of higher degree which often hath bene proued and examples extant He ought to procure that all militarie discipline be duly obserued and that his Captaines the other officers vnder his charge do obey respect honor him sith they are bound thereunto as vnto the person of their proper Generall in all things concerning the seruice of their Prince and that the souldiers doe obey their Captaines officers with great humilitie reknowledgement and in like sort that the officers do commaund and gouerne them with coÌ„uenient speeches and good entertainement and curtesie And it shall also much auaile him to know the names of his Captaines Lieutenants Alferes Sergeants Caporals and of all the particular souldiers if it were possible for in the pinches of warre it is to great effect to call a Captaine officer or souldier by his proper name The Sergeant Maior is obliged as I haue before declared to receiue his orders directions from his Colonell and with his opinion and appointment to augment or diminish the guards But this to be vnderstood when there is no Camp-maister Generall in the armie whose proper office this is whom he ought to respect and obey and to accomplish all orders by him appointed touching his charge In the administratioÌ„ of iustice he is to gouerne with great discretioÌ„ wisdome executing it with all equitie and right that his souldiers thereby may both loue him feare him for it coÌ„cerneth the Maister of the Campe to appreheÌ„de to discharge to punish also of life death in all delicts cases deseruing such punishments and in things and matters committed against the commaunds lawes and bandos of the high Generall of the infanterie and in whose absence he may coÌ„maund orders make lawes and punish those that go against them and obey them not For for the execution of iustice he hath his appointed officers with their payes for the same and also he doth iudge and determine their ciuill differences debates which shall arise among the officers and souldiers of his regiment And if any do find themselues aggrieued with his sentences they may appeale vnto the Lord high Generall or Camp-maister Generall that being vniust they may reuoke them and if not then commaund them to be executed And in all these matters touching the administration of iustice if the Colonell generall or Lord high Marshall being there any such wil intermeddle therin he may and as superior and preheminent in office he may commaund ordaine do and vndo diminish or augment the authoritie and preheminence vnto the Colonell It concerneth him also to haue regard to the place of victuals or market that there be no deceipt vsed against the souldiers he is to set the price waight measure of all that is sold to put good guardes to see that the marchants victuallers may keepe their stuffe and wares in securitie and safe and for the same do the marchants and victuallers pay euery Saterday for euery staule or booth some six pence a peece or more all this being with his regiment alone where there is no Camp-maister Generall vnto whose office this doth properly appertaine He is to be carefull and diligent with the Lord high Generall for his souldiers payes and see they be prouided of armour necessaries and needfull munitions and the same to be distributed as before I haue set downe and this he is to do with such earnest diligence and affection that he may oblige them all to acknowledge and confesse him for their true father and faithfull Commaunder Among the Spanish coÌ„panies in Italy it is accustomed that no Captaine do entertaine any souldier into his band but that the Maestre de Campo do first see and approue him especially of a straunge nation being not a particular and well knowne personage for many inconueniences that may follow thereon Gent. But I haue heard say that the Spaniard permitteth none of a strange nation though of neuer so good parts and seruice to ascend vnto any degree of office among them which is contrary to vs for our Princes in time past haue receiued esteemed and aduaunced many straungers being personages of vertue valour
