and_o unskilful_a they_o raise_v their_o wall_n to_o such_o a_o height_n as_o may_v seem_v to_o deny_v the_o enemy_n a_o easy_a ascent_n by_o his_o ladder_n the_o breadth_n be_v such_o as_o will_v

of_o they_o very_o dangerous_a the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o defendant_n stand_v on_o their_o wall_n without_o any_o covert_n lie_v open_a to_o their_o enemy_n the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o enemy_n approach_v under_o their_o wall_n be_v so_o secure_v by_o the_o wall_n itself_o that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v hurt_v by_o the_o defendant_n that_o stand_v on_o high_a over_o he_o these_o error_n at_o length_n they_o endeavour_v to_o remedy_n by_o build_v throughout_o upon_o their_o wall_n a_o brestwork_n b_o c_o z_o the_o top_n of_o their_o brestwork_n they_o distinguish_v with_o battlement_n z_o z_o z_o not_o join_v together_o but_o leave_v open_a at_o certain_a distance_n so_o that_o the_o defendant_n cover_v with_o these_o battlement_n can_v beat_v off_o the_o enemy_n through_o their_o open_a interval_n so_o be_v the_o first_o error_n in_o some_o manner_n sublate_v fig._n 2_o to_o mend_v the_o other_o they_o cause_v loophole_n to_o be_v cut_v in_o the_o wall_n at_o a_o man_n height_n from_o the_o ground_n mark_v with_o the_o letter_n p_o p_o p._n nor_o yet_o be_v these_o inconvenience_n perfect_o take_v away_o for_o the_o enemy_n lie_v within_o the_o triangle_n d_o e_o f_o g_o k_n h_n will_v escape_v the_o shot_n of_o the_o townsman_n therefore_o they_o begin_v to_o look_v on_o a_o flancque_a or_o side_n defence_n and_o still_o keep_v fig._n 3_o their_o battlement_n and_o loophole_n they_o build_v round_o their_o work_n square_a turret_n that_o run_v out_o beyond_o the_o thickness_n of_o the_o wall_n and_o so_o they_o add_v to_o their_o foreright_o defence_n which_o be_v only_o then_o in_o use_n a_o flancque_a or_o side_n defence_n but_o this_o same_o side_n defence_n be_v as_o yet_o imperfect_a because_o the_o enemy_n can_v be_v hide_v within_o the_o triangle_n i_o p_o k_o beside_o square_a tower_n be_v not_o think_v able_a enough_o to_o bear_v the_o brunt_n of_o engine_n and_o and_o batter_a ram_n fig._n 4_o therefore_o slight_v their_o square_a turret_n they_o make_v round_a one_o so_o the_o triangle_n a_o c_o b_o in_o which_o the_o enemy_n be_v hide_v become_v so_o much_o lessen_v that_o now_o he_o can_v not_o traverse_v his_o batter_a engine_n within_o it_o and_o the_o round_a form_n of_o turret_n be_v find_v to_o stand_v firm_a than_o any_o other_o against_o the_o force_n of_o the_o battery_n and_o here_o the_o art_n and_o endeavour_n of_o the_o ancient_n rest_v till_o gunpowder_n be_v find_v man_n begin_v to_o imitate_v thunder_n and_o lightning_n and_o indeed_o this_o last_o way_n of_o fortification_n be_v far_o better_a than_o the_o former_a nevertheless_o the_o business_n go_v yet_o suspect_v for_o the_o triangle_n a_o c_o b_o be_v find_v large_a enough_o to_o shelter_v pioner_n
