their_o year_n of_o service_n this_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o augment_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o king_n and_o not_o diminish_v that_o of_o the_o governor_n as_o to_o army_n it_o can_v be_v precise_o say_v of_o what_o number_n of_o man_n they_o shall_v consist_v nor_o whether_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v strong_a in_o horse_n or_o in_o foot_n this_o whole_o depend_v upon_o the_o

during_o peace_n nothing_o be_v so_o necessary_a to_o a_o state_n as_o old_a soldier_n augustus_n after_o his_o victory_n do_v not_o cashier_v the_o forty_o roman_a legion_n which_o prove_v to_o be_v

it_o expedient_a to_o divide_v the_o troop_n into_o several_a quarter_n and_o keep_v they_o in_o far_o distant_a garrison_n the_o ancient_a king_n of_o egypt_n have_v a_o great_a many_o soldier_n
