be_v avoid_v although_o they_o be_v betwixt_o two_o noble_a person_n as_o for_o example_n two_o duke_n about_o the_o pre-eminence_n of_o place_n none_o know_v which_o of_o they_o have_v the_o first_o

with_o pistol_n and_o sword_n with_o their_o doublet_n on_o which_o serve_v instead_o of_o a_o armour_n and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n a_o horseback_n first_o they_o shoot_v off_o their_o pistol_n

because_o they_o must_v stand_v at_o some_o distance_n to_o take_v aim_n which_o in_o my_o opinion_n appear_v cowardly_a to_o pelt_n at_o each_o other_o as_o if_o they_o be_v afraid_a to_o come_v near_o each_o other_o beside_o a_o child_n may_v have_v so_o much_o skill_n &_o courage_n as_o to_o shoot_v off_o a_o pistol_n and_o may_v chance_v to_o kill_v a_o man_n but_o a_o child_n can_v tell_v
