commonweal_n be_v incapable_a of_o this_o power_n to_o confer_v honour_n i_o see_v among_o the_o roman_n several_a reward_n and_o honour_n of_o all_o sort_n distribute_v free_o and_o constant_o to_o the_o best_a deserver_n thereby_o to_o encourage_v all_o of_o every_o rank_n high_a and_o low_a the_o witty_a and_o valiant_a in_o their_o several_a kind_n to_o do_v their_o best_a and_o to_o adventure_v for_o the_o public_a good_a title_n honour_n land_n immunity_n wreathe_n chain_n ornament_n place_n in_o the_o theatre_n with_o diverse_a other_o previledge_n and_o last_o statue_n and_o triumph_n be_v appoint_v for_o the_o well_o deserve_a soldier_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o whereas_o the_o legionarie_a band_n which_o be_v native_n have_v silver_n chain_n the_o auxiliarie_n which_o be_v stranger_n have_v gold_n chain_n to_o encourage_v they_o and_o to_o bind_v they_o to_o the_o state_n by_o benefit_n as_o the_o other_o be_v bind_v by_o natural_a love_n and_o duty_n but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o these_o honour_n confer_v by_o the_o roman_a commonwealth_n be_v acknowledge_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o monarchy_n and_o do_v extend_v as_o universal_o as_o the_o roman_a command_n and_o power_n itself_o which_o tutch_v almost_o the_o world_n circumference_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o petty_a commonweal_n who_o act_n seem_v therefore_o to_o be_v private_a and_o to_o be_v contain_v in_o narrow_a list_n and_o this_o be_v true_a nor_o will_v i_o therefore_o desire_v for_o the_o well_o deserue_a soldier_n any_o honour_n or_o previledge_n but_o a_o public_a acknowledgement_n and_o respect_n within_o the_o unite_a province_n or_o wheresoever_o they_o have_v power_n or_o command_v this_o they_o have_v power_n to_o confer_v as_o we_o

can_v give_v will_v sufficient_o content_v the_o soldier_n desirous_a of_o honour_n and_o bind_v they_o the_o rather_o to_o the_o place_n and_o service_n whilst_o they_o shall_v there_o have_v that_o due_a reverence_n and_o acknowledgement_n which_o in_o other_o place_n they_o shall_v not_o find_v but_o upon_o removal_n loose_a and_o for_o aught_o i_o see_v the_o honour_n confer_v by_o absolute_a prince_n be_v of_o force_n no_o far_o than_o their_o own_o force_n carry_v they_o and_o give_v they_o life_n and_o authority_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o imperial_a court_n who_o will_v not_o be_v

of_o his_o merit_n some_o title_n or_o note_n of_o honour_n some_o previledge_n or_o extraordinary_a respect_n and_o allowance_n think_v it_o go_v no_o far_a than_o within_o
