his_o command_n be_v to_o be_v obey_v of_o his_o subject_n yet_o it_o be_v in_o all_o the_o counsel_n of_o war_n hold_v unfit_a for_o the_o king_n to_o hazard_v his_o person_n at_o any_o time_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v ordain_v a_o general_n under_o he_o to_o have_v the_o command_n of_o the_o army_n which_o general_n shall_v have_v under_o he_o colonel_n captain_n and_o other_o inferior_a

unless_o the_o adverse_a king_n be_v a_o very_a silly_a king_n and_o can_v make_v use_n of_o such_o advantage_n and_o yet_o to_o make_v the_o reader_n to_o understand_v this_o better_a know_v this_o if_o the_o white_a king_n shall_v in_o the_o take_n the_o black_a king_n queen_n lose_v two_o of_o his_o nobleman_n as_o his_o two_o duke_n or_o his_o two_o bishop_n or_o his_o two_o knight_n yet_o the_o white_a king_n shall_v have_v the_o better_a for_o his_o loss_n be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o the_o black_a king_n who_o have_v lose_v his_o queen_n some_o that_o write_v of_o chess-play_n call_v the_o queen_n the_o amazon_n because_o the_o amazonite_n go_v to_o war_n as_o familiar_o as_o the_o man_n next_o to_o the_o queen_n for_o value_n be_v a_o duke_n for_o by_o how_o much_o a_o queen_n be_v more_o in_o worth_n than_o a_o duke_n by_o so_o much_o a_o duke_n be_v more_o in_o value_n then_o a_o bishop_n or_o a_o knight_n for_o a_o duke_n be_v worth_a two_o bishop_n or_o two_o knight_n by_o reason_n he_o can_v give_v a_o mate_n himself_o with_o the_o help_n of_o the_o king_n which_o a_o bishop_n or_o a_o knight_n can_v do_v now_o you_o say_v two_o bishop_n can_v give_v a_o mate_n with_o the_o help_n of_o the_o king_n it_o be_v true_a but_o the_o duke_n will_v do_v it_o soon_o also_o a_o mate_n be_v to_o be_v give_v with_o a_o bishop_n and_o a_o knight_n and_o this_o be_v also_o true_a but_o he_o must_v play_v well_o that_o can_v give_v a_o mate_n with_o they_o yet_o you_o see_v every_o scholar_n at_o chess-play_n can_v give_v a_o mate_n with_o a_o king_n and_o a_o duke_n beside_o a_o duke_n check_n go_v from_o one_o side_n of_o the_o field_n to_o the_o other_o throughout_o all_o the_o colour_n and_o a_o bishop_n check_n serve_v but_o for_o one_o colour_n in_o the_o field_n therefore_o you_o must_v have_v both_o the_o bishop_n to_o do_v the_o service_n which_o one_o duke_n can_v discharge_v and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o a_o duke_n be_v better_a than_o two_o bishop_n and_o for_o the_o bishop_n they_o be_v better_o than_o the_o knight_n by_o reason_n they_o can_v give_v a_o mate_n with_o the_o king_n when_o no_o other_o man_n be_v leave_v to_o help_v they_o which_o the_o knight_n can_v do_v and_o therefore_o they_o be_v count_v better_a than_o
of_o the_o field_n likewise_o you_o shall_v place_v the_o black_a queen_n in_o a_o black_a house_n next_o to_o her_o king_n which_o shall_v also_o be_v the_o four_o house_n on_o the_o black_a king_n

and_o next_o to_o the_o knight_n you_o shall_v place_v a_o duke_n who_o place_n be_v in_o the_o first_o house_n of_o the_o field_n the_o queen_n have_v either_o of_o they_o likewise_o one_o bishop_n

set_v down_o his_o adversary_n man_n again_o this_o be_v very_o foul_a play_n for_o albeit_o it_o be_v true_a he_o can_v play_v his_o adversary_n man_n so_o also_o it_o be_v true_a he_o may_v not_o
