reader_n it_o be_v possible_a that_o you_o will_v marvel_v that_o i_o shall_v write_v this_o book_n call_v the_o art_n of_o shoot_v in_o great_a ordnance_n for_o two_o great_a cause_n the_o one_o be_v this_o first_o for_o that_o i_o have_v not_o see_v to_o most_o people_n judgement_n so_o great_a experience_n in_o these_o affair_n whereby_o you_o may_v think_v that_o i_o have_v not_o knowledge_n sufficient_a to_o be_v a_o teacher_n in_o these_o matter_n and_o the_o second_o cause_n be_v this_o for_o that_o my_o order_n of_o teach_v be_v contrary_a unto_o all_o that_o have_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o be_v teacher_n or_o instructer_n in_o these_o matter_n or_o affair_n before_o time_n therefore_o for_o to_o show_v unto_o you_o the_o cause_n that_o have_v move_v i_o to_o write_v this_o rude_a volune_n be_v this_o for_o that_o we_o english_a man_n have_v not_o be_v count_v but_o of_o late_a day_n to_o become_v good_a gunner_n and_o the_o principal_a point_n that_o have_v cause_v english_a man_n to_o be_v count_v good_a gunner_n have_v be_v for_o that_o they_o be_v hardy_a or_o without_o fear_n about_o their_o ordnance_n but_o for_o the_o knowledge_n in_o it_o other_o nation_n and_o country_n have_v taste_v better_o thereof_o as_o the_o italian_n french_a and_o spaniard_n for_o that_o english_a man_n have_v have_v but_o little_a instruction_n but_o that_o they_o have_v learn_v of_o the_o doutchman_n or_o fleming_n in_o the_o time_n of_o king_n henry_n the_o eight_o and_o the_o chief_a cause_n that_o english_a man_n be_v think_v to_o be_v good_a gunner_n be_v this_o for_o that_o they_o be_v handsome_a about_o their_o ordnance_n in_o ship_n on_o the_o sea_n etc._n etc._n and_o furthermore_o i_o do_v think_v it_o good_a to_o show_v unto_o you_o three_o great_a cause_n beside_o diverse_a other_o small_a cause_n that_o the_o thing_n that_o have_v let_v or_o hinder_v english_a man_n to_o become_v cunning_a in_o the_o shoot_n of_o great_a ordinance_n although_o diverse_a prove_n have_v be_v make_v at_o sundry_a time_n and_o ordnance_n have_v be_v have_v into_o the_o field_n both_o in_o master_n bromefields_n time_n when_o that_o he_o be_v lieutenant_n of_o the_o ordnance_n &_o at_o diverse_a time_n since_o and_o yet_o those_o prove_n that_o have_v be_v make_v then_o be_v no_o proof_n but_o to_o cause_v those_o gunner_n that_o do_v see_v the_o experience_n of_o those_o profess_v to_o commit_v a_o further_a error_n as_o touch_v the_o shoot_n in_o great_a ordnance_n and_o the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v this_o the_o first_o &_o principal_a cause_n be_v that_o they_o do_v make_v their_o proof_n with_o a_o quadrant_n and_o so_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o four_o part_n of_o a_o circle_n divide_v into_o 90._o equal_a part_n which_o some_o simple_a gunner_n will_v call_v a_o triangle_n but_o there_o be_v no_o instrument_n so_o call_v but_o only_o a_o quadrant_n and_o the_o original_n of_o the_o make_v thereof_o be_v the_o four_o part_n of_o a_o circle_n divide_v into_o 90._o equal_a part_n what_o form_n so_o ever_o that_o it_o have_v and_o now_o the_o principal_a use_n of_o the_o quadrant_a be_v to_o know_v what_o any_o piece_n will_v cast_v at_o the_o mount_n of_o every_o degree_n and_o so_o from_o degree_n unto_o degree_n unto_o the_o best_a of_o the_o rander_n and_o the_o cause_n that_o have_v make_v the_o gunner_n to_o commit_v error_n by_o the_o mount_a of_o the_o piece_n by_o the_o degree_n of_o the_o quadrant_n have_v be_v this_o although_o that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o such_o a_o piece_n will_v cast_v the_o shot_n so_o many_o score_n at_o the_o mount_n of_o so_o many_o degree_n and_o yet_o when_o that_o they_o have_v make_v proof_n thereof_o they_o have_v find_v it_o mere_a false_a &_o yet_o the_o thing_n most_o true_a although_o sometime_o the_o shot_n have_v flien_a a_o great_a deal_n further_o and_o sometime_o much_o short_a which_o cause_n be_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o the_o highness_n or_o the_o lowne_n of_o the_o ground_n for_o that_o there_o be_v seldom_o any_o ground_n that_o you_o shall_v find_v level_a but_o it_o will_v be_v high_a or_o low_a than_o the_o ground_n that_o the_o piece_n stand_v upon_o as_o i_o do_v more_o at_o large_a declare_v in_o the_o thirteen_o chapter_n of_o the_o book_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o time_n of_o service_n there_o be_v no_o use_v of_o the_o quadrant_n but_o in_o some_o case_n and_o then_o take_v a_o great_a large_a one_o for_o in_o a_o small_a you_o may_v soon_o commit_v error_n and_o furthermore_o i_o do_v know_v diverse_a that_o will_v have_v instrument_n and_o yet_o be_v utterlie_o void_a of_o the_o use_n of_o they_o for_o it_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o person_n in_o the_o do_n of_o any_o thing_n and_o not_o the_o instrument_n for_o in_o the_o do_n of_o any_o thing_n if_o the_o person_n do_v not_o consider_v of_o all_o thing_n with_o he_o and_o against_o he_o he_o or_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o commit_v error_n etc._n etc._n the_o second_o great_a cause_n be_v this_o in_o the_o use_v to_o give_v level_a with_o a_o rule_n set_v out_o in_o inch_n part_n but_o unto_o this_o they_o can_v order_v it_o nor_o give_v it_o no_o method_n to_o know_v what_o any_o piece_n will_v do_v at_o any_o number_n of_o inch_n advantage_n for_o the_o piece_n do_v differ_v in_o cast_v according_a unto_o their_o length_n as_o i_o do_v further_o show_v in_o the_o book_n wherefore_o the_o
