the_o canon_n come_v to_o be_v discharge_v they_o must_v hinder_v the_o musket_n from_o defend_v the_o face_n of_o the_o bulworke_n for_o they_o be_v two_o different_a thing_n that_o can_v stand_v

be_v not_o of_o force_n to_o beat_v down_o the_o traverse_n and_o hinder_v the_o enemy_n approach_n unto_o the_o bulworke_n the_o engineere_n in_o france_n engineer_n can_v hardly_o be_v bring_v to_o

in_o all_o thing_n due_a order_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v as_o errard_n himself_o confess_v wherefore_o take_v notice_n the_o office_n of_o the_o flank_n be_v only_o to_o pierce_v and_o batter_v the_o

the_o musketeer_n in_o to_o perform_v the_o same_o office_n they_o will_v have_v they_o do_v in_o the_o flank_n which_o be_v only_o to_o defend_v the_o face_n of_o the_o bulworke_n they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o any_o other_o place_n from_o whence_o they_o may_v defend_v curtin_n now_o you_o shall_v both_o see_v and_o judge_v their_o imbecility_n whether_o it_o be_v more_o apt_a and_o convenient_a to_o take_v the_o defence_n with_o musketeer_n from_o the_o flank_n or_o from_o the_o curtin_n which_o be_v far_o better_a and_o also_o from_o the_o cavalliaris_n whereby_o the_o

two_o which_o seem_v probabl_a for_o our_o best_a service_n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o a_o bulworke_n well_o guard_v with_o soldier_n be_v far_o strong_a than_o one_o that_o be_v only_o defend_v with_o a_o stone_n or_o earthen_a wall_n without_o man_n the_o strength_n that_o be_v to_o be_v expect_v in_o a_o stone_n or_o earthen_a wall_n be_v the_o form_n of_o the_o
