of_o many_o and_o many_o thousand_o of_o our_o nation_n as_o be_v before_o declare_v may_n i_o think_v evident_o show_v how_o unfit_a and_o unable_a such_o man_n of_o war_n be_v to_o compare_v

of_o emperor_n or_o king_n as_o also_o how_o much_o more_o insufficient_a they_o be_v to_o erect_v and_o innovate_v any_o new_a discipline_n military_a among_o we_o or_o any_o way_n to_o suppress_v

both_o ancient_a and_o modern_a that_o have_v serve_v in_o the_o well_o order_a war_n of_o emperor_n or_o king_n that_o their_o war_n be_v now_o grow_v to_o great_a perfection_n and_o great_o alter_v from_o the_o war_n of_o time_n past_a in_o the_o which_o i_o do_v concur_v with_o they_o and_o the_o rather_o because_o they_o verify_v the_o old_a proverb_n which_o be_v that_o such_o as_o be_v never_o but_o in_o hell_n do_v think_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o heaven_n for_o true_a it_o be_v that_o the_o civil_a and_o licentious_a war_n of_o france_n and_o the_o tumultuary_a and_o disorder_a war_n of_o the_o low_a country_n which_o have_v be_v their_o school_n and_o the_o chief_a war_n that_o ever_o they_o see_v have_v be_v altogether_o without_o any_o form_v milicia_fw-la and_o discipline_n military_a &_o therefore_o far_o different_a from_o the_o well_o order_a war_n that_o have_v be_v in_o former_a time_n betwixt_o emperor_n king_n and_o form_v common_a wealth_n and_o now_o because_o i_o intend_v in_o this_o proëme_n unto_o your_o lordship_n as_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v to_o show_v by_o what_o mean_v our_o nation_n have_v very_o much_o decay_v or_o rather_o forget_v all_o our_o ancient_a order_n and_o exercise_n military_a with_o the_o wonderful_a evil_n that_o have_v in_o other_o age_n and_o do_v now_o through_o long_a peace_n threaten_v we_o again_o to_o happen_v as_o also_o that_o it_o have_v be_v impossible_a for_o they_o or_o any_o other_o to_o learn_v any_o art_n or_o science_n military_a in_o the_o civil_a war_n of_o france_n nor_o in_o the_o disorder_a war_n of_o the_o low_a country_n under_o the_o state_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a that_o be_v disorder_n and_o confusion_n i_o therefore_o will_v first_o make_v manifest_a by_o diverse_a example_n by_o what_o mean_n and_o accident_n the_o art_n and_o science_n military_a have_v in_o many_o empire_n kingdom_n and_o common_a wealth_n as_o also_o in_o this_o kingdom_n come_v sometime_o to_o be_v utterlie_o forget_v and_o at_o other_o time_n to_o grow_v to_o great_a disorder_n and_o confusion_n and_o so_o final_o that_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o such_o of_o our_o
