water_n have_v be_v seen_v in_o the_o winter_n to_o be_v freeze_a and_o to_o make_v easy_a the_o win_v of_o a_o citee_n as_o it_o happen_v to_o mirandola_n when_o pope_n julie_n besiege_v it_o and_o for_o to_o save_v i_o from_o mine_n i_o will_v make_v it_o so_o deep_a that_o he_o that_o will_v dig_v low_a shall_v find_v water_n the_o fortress_n also_o i_o will_v build_v concern_v the_o ditche_n

a_o town_n o●_n fortress_n one_o thing_n i_o will_v earnest_o advise_v he_o that_o defend_v a_o citee_n and_o that_o be_v that_o he_o make_v no_o bulwark_n without_o distaunte_n from_o the_o wall_n of_o thesame_n and_o a_o other_o to_o he_o that_o build_v the_o fortress_n and_o this_o be_v that_o he_o make_v not_o any_o refuge_n place_n in_o they_o in_o which_o he_o that_o be_v within_o the_o

his_o defence_n and_o always_o it_o shall_v chance_v he_o this_o which_o i_o say_v when_o there_o be_v make_v bulwark_n out_o of_o the_o town_n that_o be_v to_o be_v defend_v defend_v small_a fortress_n can_v be_v defend_v because_o always_o he_o shall_v lose_v they_o little_a thing_n now_o a_o day_n be_v not_o able_a to_o be_v defend_v when_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o fury_n of_o

of_o war_n or_o fortress_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v in_o they_o any_o retire_a place_n concern_v the_o second_o counsel_n i_o affirm_v nothing_o to_o be_v to_o a_o fortress_n more_o perilous_a then_o to_o be_v in_o thesame_a refuge_n place_n to_o be_v able_a to_o retire_v because_o the_o hope_n that_o man_n have_v thereby_o make_v that_o they_o lose_v the_o utter_a ward_n when_o it_o be_v

of_o france_n thesame_a fortress_n be_v all_o full_a of_o place_n to_o retire_v out_o of_o one_o into_o a_o other_o for_o that_o there_o be_v first_o the_o keep_v from_o the_o same_o to_o the_o fortress_n be_v a_o diche_a after_o soche_n sort_n that_o they_o pass_v over_o it_o by_o a_o draw_v bridge_n the_o fortress_n be_v divide_v into_o three_o part_n and_o every_o part_n be_v divide_v from_o the_o other_o with_o ditche_n and_o with_o water_n and_o by_o bridge_n they_o pass_v from_o the_o one_o place_n to_o the_o other_o wherefore_o the_o duke_n batter_v with_o his_o artillery_n one_o of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o fortress_n and_o open_v part_n of_o the_o wall_n for_o which_o cause_n master_n john_n casale_n which_o be_v appoint_v to_o that_o ward_n think_v not_o good_a to_o

a_o sudden_a they_o get_v it_o all_o for_o that_o the_o duke_n man_n become_v lord_n of_o the_o bridge_n which_o go_v from_o one_o place_n to_o a_o other_o they_o lose_v then_o this_o fortress_n invincible_a the_o cause_n of_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o fortress_n of_o furlie_n that_o 〈◊〉_d think_v invincible_a which_o be_v think_v invinsible_a through_o two_o defaulte_n the_o one_o for_o have_v so_o many_o retire_a place_n the_o other_o because_o every_o retire_a place_n be_v not_o lord_n of_o the_o bridge_n thereof_o therefore_o the_o naughty_a build_a fortress_n and_o the_o little_a wisdom_n of_o they_o that_o defend_v it_o cause_v shame_n to_o the_o noble_a enterprise_n of_o the_o countess_n who_o have_v think_v to_o have_v abide_v a_o army_n which_o neither_o the_o king_n of_o

will_v make_v the_o wall_n strong_a and_o the_o ditche_n in_o the_o manner_n as_o we_o have_v reason_v nor_o i_o will_v not_o make_v therein_o other_o build_v how_o the_o house_n that_o be_v in_o a_o

day_n call_v strong_a where_o he_o that_o defend_v it_o have_v not_o space_n to_o retire_v with_o new_a ditche_n and_o with_o new_a fortification_n for_o that_o the_o force_n of_o the_o ordinance_n be_v so_o much_o that_o he_o that_o trust_v upon_o the_o ward_n of_o one_o wall_n and_o of_o one_o fortification_n only_o be_v deceive_v and_o because_o the_o bulwark_n mind_v that_o they_o pass_v

they_o be_v lose_v straight_o way_n therefore_o it_o be_v wisdom_n to_o let_v alone_o those_o bulwark_n without_o town_n the_o fortifi_v of_o the_o entrance_n of_o a_o town_n and_o to_o fortify_v

and_o from_o the_o tournynge_n to_o the_o gate_n to_o make_v a_o diche_a with_o a_o bridge_n also_o they_o fortify_v the_o gate_n with_o a_o portcullis_n for_o to_o be_v able_a to_o put_v therein_o
