that maketh him resolute theyr foes likewise are so much weakened by the last slaughter we made amongst them that if wee can giue them another sudden Onset they will be vtterly dismayed Besides the

Onset when they are in their dead sléepe which will bring such terror and amazement to their harts that they will be like men amazed Parismus hearing his Words liked his counsell very well And thus hee contriued this businesse the Band should be diuided into thrée parts the one to be vnder the Conduct of himselfe the other vnder Parismenos and the third vnder Pollipus Which was so secretly done that the Getulians had not the least knowledge thereof About midnight when all things were at silence and the Getulians voyde of suspition the Bohemians left theyr Tants and Pollipus with his forces
