like_o gallant_a fellow_n where_o they_o may_v take_v their_o pleasure_n and_o carouse_v lusty_o 17_o the_o ancient_a discipline_n repose_v their_o chief_a confidence_n in_o their_o fanterie_n who_o they_o so_o train_v arm_a and_o order_v as_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o thousand_o footman_n force_v not_o of_o five_o time_n so_o many_o horseman_n but_o as_o our_o footman_n of_o the_o new_a discipline_n be_v arm_v and_o order_v a_o thousand_o horse_n be_v able_a to_o defeat_v five_o time_n as_o many_o such_o footman_n and_o yet_o may_v the_o footman_n of_o our_o time_n carry_v weapon_n of_o far_o great_a advantage_n against_o horse_n be_v well_o order_v than_o be_v know_v in_o those_o day_n so_o great_a be_v the_o error_n of_o the_o martial_a discipline_n of_o our_o age_n among_o such_o leader_n as_o have_v be_v trayned-up_a in_o freebooter_n war_n and_o have_v vow_v their_o service_n to_o their_o lady_n picorea_n be_v careless_a of_o any_o thing_n appertain_v to_o victory_n and_o honour_n respect_v rather_o their_o own_o private_a profit_n and_o commodity_n 18_o the_o ancient_a martial_a discipline_n tend_v chief_o to_o this_o scope_n to_o carry_v such_o a_o army_n to_o the_o field_n as_o bold_o dare_v march_v on_o all_o ground_n as_o well_o champion_n as_o by_o straits_n and_o in_o ordinance_n ready_a to_o fight_v with_o the_o enemy_n by_o their_o exercise_n order_n and_o assurance_n not_o doubt_v of_o victory_n but_o the_o scope_n of_o such_o modern_a discipline_n seem_v to_o be_v rather_o to_o carry_v man_n so_o light_o arm_v and_o loose_o discipline_v as_o they_o may_v be_v nimble_a to_o stray_v abroad_o to_o pick_v and_o steal_v and_o to_o escape_v by_o flight_n when_o they_o be_v charge_v with_o any_o enemy_n of_o force_n and_o as_o for_o loss_n of_o ensign_n or_o shameful_a flight_n they_o make_v it_o a_o trifle_a matter_n be_v ready_a to_o do_v as_o much_o again_o at_o any_o time_n 19_o the_o ancient_a discipline_n will_v never_o suffer_v any_o soldier_n to_o go_v abroad_o to_o spoil_v but_o with_o leader_n and_o commander_n to_o direct_v and_o guide_v they_o have_v intelligence_n before_o hand_n which_o quarter_n be_v best_o replenish_v with_o commodity_n needful_a for_o the_o army_n and_o then_o send_v such_o force_n as_o may_v not_o fail_v to_o set_v it_o in_o or_o honourable_o defend_v themselves_o if_o they_o be_v encounter_v but_o this_o new_a discipline_n will_v send_v their_o soldier_n to_o spoil_v by_o handful_n without_o captain_n lieutenant_n or_o ensign_n to_o guide_v they_o if_o they_o get_v any_o pickorie_n the_o captain_n have_v his_o share_n but_o if_o their_o throat_n be_v cut_v the_o captain_n will_v have_v their_o pay_n aswell_o due_a before_o their_o death_n as_o after_o by_o muster_v they_o absent_a &c_n &c_n till_o the_o muster-master_n discover_v it_o and_o whereas_o such_o a_o captain_n shall_v be_v disarm_v and_o by_o the_o provost_n hang_v for_o such_o abuse_n by_o this_o new_a discipline_n he_o will_v rail_v at_o the_o muster-master_n lusty_o if_o he_o cheek_n he_o only_o the_o steal_v pay_n 20_o the_o ancient_a true_a martial_a discipline_n be_v that_o all_o pray_v so_o orderly_o in_o the_o war_n take_v shall_v be_v bring_v to_o one_o place_n where_o magistrate_n and_o officer_n of_o purpose_n appoint_v shall_v dispose_v thereof_o for_o the_o ransom_v of_o prisoner_n and_o the_o remount_v of_o such_o as_o have_v their_o horse_n slay_v in_o service_n and_o for_o reward_v aswell_o of_o those_o that_o make_v the_o stand_v as_o of_o those_o that_o fetch_v in_o the_o prey_n but_o in_o our_o new_a discipline_n it_o be_v catch_v who_o catch_n may_v and_o no_o order_n in_o the_o world_n for_o distribution_n of_o the_o pray_v for_o any_o public_a use_n nor_o for_o redemption_n of_o prisoner_n or_o remount_v of_o such_o as_o in_o service_n lose_v their_o horse_n 21_o the_o ancient_a discipline_n be_v that_o no_o arm_a man_n on_o pain_n of_o death_n shall_v step_v out_o of_o his_o rank_n in_o time_n of_o service_n to_o catch_v or_o spoil_v which_o they_o easy_o obey_v because_o by_o their_o martial_a discipline_n then_o they_o have_v as_o good_a reward_n out_o of_o the_o pray_v that_o stand_v in_o battle_n arm_v as_o the_o loose_a man_n that_o bring_v it_o in_o but_o in_o our_o modern_a war_n where_o no_o such_o order_n be_v establish_v but_o catch_v who_o catch_n may_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o confusion_n which_o can_v be_v but_o to_o their_o utter_a ruin_n and_o shame_n whensoever_o such_o unsouldierly_a freebooter_n shall_v encounter_v with_o any_o enemy_n of_o good_a government_n 22_o by_o the_o ancient_a discipline_n beside_o the_o reward_n of_o the_o soldier_n which_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o discretion_n of_o the_o general_n there_o be_v

it_o be_v easy_a to_o discern_v which_o be_v the_o better_a discipline_n for_o the_o prince_n and_o people_n 23_o by_o such_o ancient_a discipline_n kingdom_n and_o state_n by_o their_o war_n have_v
