enough_o remember_v the_o very_a maidenhead_n of_o these_o war_n when_o they_o be_v first_o undertake_v both_o in_o france_n and_o flaunders_n yea_o and_o in_o scotland_n too_o about_o matter_n of_o

rather_o hope_v after_o their_o dead_a pay_n then_o expect_v any_o service_n they_o can_v perform_v othersome_a upon_o displeasure_n be_v send_v to_o the_o like_a enterprise_n and_o a_o three_o some_o

these_o and_o yet_o not_o possible_a to_o be_v true_a and_o i_o think_v as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o that_o every_o soldier_n boy_n do_v know_v it_o be_v death_n by_o the_o law_n of_o arm_n for_o any_o captain_n to_o enterprise_v any_o attempt_n without_o direction_n from_o the_o general_n or_o council_n at_o war_n perhaps_o some_o will_v say_v it_o be_v truth_n where_o the_o discipline_n of_o
