that thei maie eniâ—ie the pleasure of the shewe It is harde to discerne by the appareile the maide fro the wife or the woman fro the manne so like araied doe the menne and the womeÌ„ go Thei weare brieches the one and the other When thei shal go to the skirmishe or to battaille some couer their armes whiche at all other tymes are naked with plates of iron buckeled together alonge in many pietes that thei may the easelier sturre their armes Some doe the same with many foldes of Lcather wherwith thei also arme their head Thei cannot handle a target nor but fewe of theim a launce or a long sweard Thei haue curtilasses of iij. quarters longe not double edged but backed Thei fighte all with a quarter blowe neither right downe ne foyning Thei be very redy on horsebacke and very skilful archers He is compted moste valeauÌ„te that best obserueth the commaundement and the obedience dewe to his capitaine Thei haue no wages for their souldie yet are thei prest and ready in all affayres and all commaundementes In battayle and otherwise wher oughte is to be done very politike and experte The princes and capitaines entre not the battle but standing aloofe crye vnto their men and harten them on lookinge diligently aboute on euery side what is nedefull to be done Sometime to make the armye sieme the greater and the more terrible to the ennemy thei set vp on horsebacke their wiues and their children yea and men made of cloutes It is no vilany amonge them to flye if any thinge maye eyther be saued or wonne by it When thei will shoote thei vnarme their righte arme and then let thei flye with suche violence that it pearceth all kinde of armour Thei giue the onset flockinge in plumpes and likewise in plompes they flie And in the flighte thei so shoote backe warde behinde them that thei slea many of their ennemies pursuinge the chase And when thei perceiue their ennemies dispersed by pursuinge the chase or not to fighte any thing wholie together soudeinly retourninge thei beginne a newe onset with a hayle of shotte neither sparing horse ne maÌ„ So that oftetimes thei ouercome when thei are thoughte to be vaÌ„quisshed when thei come to enuade any quartre or countrie thei deuide their armie and sette vpon it on euery parte so that the enhabitours can neither haue laisure to assemble and resiste ne waye to escape Thus are thei alway sure of the victory whiche thei knytte vp with moste proude crueltie Neither sparinge manne woman ne childe olde ne younge sauing the artificer onely whome thei reserue for their own vses And this slaughter make thei aftre this maner When thei haue all taken them thei distribute them to their Centurians who committe them againe to the slaues to euery one fewer or moe acordinge to the multitude And when the slaues haue all slayne them as bouchers kylle hogges then for a terrour to al other ther about of euery thousaÌ„de of the dead thei take one and hange him vp by the hieles vpon a stake amydde these deade bodies and so ordre his heade as though it appiered by his facion or maner of hanginge that he yet bothe harkened the complainte of his felowes and lessoned them againe Many of the Tartarres when the bodies lie fresshe bliedinge on the grounde laye them downe alonge and sucke of the bloud a full gloute Thei kepe faithe to no manne howe depely so euer thei binde them selues thervnto Thei deale yet wouâ—se with those that thei ouercome with force The maidens and younge women thei deflowre and defile as thei come to hande neither do thei iudge it any dishonestie The beautifuller sorte thei leade away with theÌ„ and in ertreame misery constraine them to be their slaues all their lyfe longe Of all other thei are moste vnbrideled in leachery For althoughe thei marye as many wiues as thei luste and are able to kepe no degre prohibited but mother doughter and sister yet are thei as raÌ„cke bouguers with mankinde and with beastes as the Saracenes are and no punishmente for it amonge them The woman that thei marie thei neuer take as wife ne receiue any dowrie with her vntill she haue borne a childe So that if she be barren he maye caste her vp and mary another This is a notable meruaile that though amonge theim manye women haue but one manne yet thei neuer lightely falle out ne brawle one with another for him And yet are the menne parcialle in theyr loue shewing muche more fauour to one then another and goynge fro the bedde of the one streighte to the bedde of an other The women haue their seuerall teÌ„tes and householdes And yet liue verye chastely and true to their housebandes For bothe the manne and the woman taken in adultery suffre death by the lawe Those that are not occupied for the warres driue the catteile a fielde and there kepe them Thei hunte and exercise them selues in wrastlinge other thing doe thei not The care of prouision for meate and drincke appareille and householde they betake to the women This people hath many supersticious toyes It is a heynous matier with them to touche the fier or take flesshe out of a potte with a knife Thei hewe or choppe no maner of thing by the fire leasse by any maner of meanes thei might fortune to hurte the thing which alway thei haue in reuerence and iudge to be the clenser and purifier of al thinges To laye them downe to reste vppon the whippe that thei stirre theyr horse with for spurres they vse none or to touche their shaftes therewith in no wyse thei wylle not Thei neither kille younge birdes ne take them in the neste or otherwaies Thei beate not the horse with the bridle Thei breake not one bone with another Thei are ware not to spill any spone meate or drincke specially milke No manne pisseth within the compasse of their soiourning place And if any one of self willed stubbornesse should do it he ware sure withoute all mercy to die for it But if necessitie constraine theÌ„ to do it as it often happeneth then the tente of hym that did it with all that is in it muste be clensed and purified aftre this maner They make two fires thre strides one from another And by ethe fire thei pitche downe a Iaueline Vpon them is tied a lyne stretching fro the one to the other and couered ouer with

one of passyng wisedome and courage For where there are many gouernours beside the hinderauÌ„ce that it causeth when a mannes necessitie moueth him to vse spiede it is wonte also not to be verie prosperous to theim that vse it Lette your armie bee piked of the strongest and hardiest of courage â—leaste tournynge their backes when it cometh to stripes thei profite more your ennemies then you Thei that late haue builded and not yet taken one yeres commoditie of thesame and thei that haue planted either vineyarde or horteyard and not recemed as yet any fruictes therof lette theim bee

that he lefte in the byble consistnge eche one of .xii. measures the piece and conteining the forewarning of thinges to come acording to the whiche all thinges haue happened and happeÌ„ at this present So to the poincte that it can not be said that he missed the truthe in any thing These bookes deliuered he vnto the priestes and the Arcke In the which he left the ten articles of the lawe
