where_o the_o other_o need_v not_o be_v above_o 60._o or_o 70._o foot_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o breadth_n in_o the_o one_o be_v that_o a_o enemy_n may_v be_v the_o more_o trouble_v to_o aboard_o the_o fort_n and_o of_o that_o narrowne_n in_o the_o other_o that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o more_o offend_v in_o the_o approach_n and_o cut_v the_o counterscarpe_n and_o that_o the_o defender_n may_v be_v the_o more_o cover_v in_o the_o ditch_n but_o when_o by_o this_o ditch_n and_o secret_a ditch_n a_o fort_n can_v be_v assure_v from_o the_o mine_n which_o a_o enemy_n may_v put_v in_o

without_o in_o the_o ditch_n hard_o against_o the_o foundation_n to_o better_a purpose_n but_o that_o it_o weaken_v the_o foot_n of_o the_o wall_n wherefore_o to_o avoid_v that_o danger_n make_v the_o countermine_n 25._o or_o 30._o foot_n distant_a from_o the_o wall_n and_o so_o deep_a in_o the_o ground_n as_o a_o enemy_n may_v go_v with_o a_o i_o which_o countermine_n must_v be_v 4._o foot_n
