keeper_n of_o the_o magazine_n who_o will_v require_v a_o exact_a account_n of_o what_o be_v go_v or_o spend_v and_o let_v every_o man_n be_v content_a with_o his_o wage_n it_o be_v a_o true_a say_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n clear_v it_o bless_a be_v the_o peacemaker_n for_o they_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o god_n mat._n 5.9_o wherefore_o every_o man_n ought_v with_o all_o their_o heart_n to_o cry_v to_o god_n for_o peace_n with_o truth_n the_o which_o i_o pray_v god_n to_o send_v we_o to_o any_o verse_v in_o military_a affair_n be_v know_v the_o great_a gain_n or_o loss_n which_o may_v redound_v either_o to_o the_o country_n army_z or_o fleet_n by_o the_o well_o or_o bad_a management_n of_o the_o great_a ordnance_n or_o train_n of_o artillery_n for_o which_o cause_n i_o say_v it_o be_v most_o necessary_a to_o try_v such_o man_n you_o choose_v to_o be_v gunner_n ere_o you_o trust_v either_o for_o land_n or_o sea-service_n and_o if_o they_o be_v qualify_v with_o these_o forename_a mark_n then_o be_v they_o fit_a to_o act_v the_o part_n of_o a_o man_n but_o it_o be_v god_n by_o who_o increase_n must_v come_v now_o if_o there_o shall_v chance_v a_o man_n of_o good_a qualification_n to_o be_v admit_v for_o a_o gunner_n and_o but_o mean_o expert_a to_o they_o i_o say_v if_o they_o follow_v these_o follow_a fundamental_a rule_n and_o digest_v instruction_n which_o i_o calculate_v in_o the_o year_n 1648_o and_o 1651_o i_o hope_v they_o shall_v have_v pleasure_n and_o profit_n as_o it_o be_v without_o all_o question_n or_o contradiction_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o holy_a more_o profitable_a or_o necessary_a than_o a_o peaceable_a condition_n for_o peace_n be_v the_o near_a thing_n to_o god_n in_o regard_n where_o peace_n be_v there_o be_v love_n charity_n faith_n and_o all_o the_o virtue_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v for_o peace_n that_o so_o live_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n our_o king_n and_o ruler_n we_o may_v prosper_v in_o this_o world_n and_o live_v in_o bliss_n eternal_o but_o in_o regard_n that_o the_o great_a prince_n of_o the_o world_n may_v observe_v and_o seek_v peace_n we_o ought_v to_o pray_v that_o as_o god_n have_v place_v they_o in_o power_n so_o he_o may_v direct_v they_o in_o all_o their_o action_n to_o do_v nothing_o contrary_a to_o his_o glory_n or_o the_o good_a of_o their_o subject_n for_o what_o division_n among_o the_o king_n and_o prince_n in_o christendom_n have_v do_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o religion_n effusion_n of_o blood_n and_o ruine_v of_o their_o estate_n be_v much_o in_o history_n make_v plain_a and_o what_o have_v be_v do_v by_o our_o unnatural_a division_n within_o these_o three_o kingdom_n be_v yet_o fresh_a in_o memory_n to_o the_o great_a grief_n of_o many_o good_a christian_n and_o in_o regard_n that_o some_o prince_n in_o christendom_n be_v force_v to_o keep_v war_n for_o maintain_v of_o the_o christian_a faith_n against_o turk_n saracen_n and_o barbarous_a tartar_n as_o also_o that_o among_o themselves_o some_o be_v either_o blow_v up_o with_o pride_n or_o envy_n who_o will_v reign_v alone_o much_o amuse_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n what_o they_o intend_v to_o do_v so_o that_o war_n be_v as_o like_a to_o be_v as_o ever_o therefore_o any_o wellwishing_a person_n ought_v to_o study_v for_o the_o advancement_n of_o his_o king_n honour_n and_o good_a of_o his_o country_n now_o what_o may_v be_v the_o action_n do_v by_o great_a ordnance_n in_o time_n of_o war_n may_v be_v think_v either_o needless_a or_o hurtful_a because_o there_o be_v nothing_o thereby_o to_o be_v teach_v but_o to_o raze_v down_o fortification_n and_o other_o strength_n to_o ruin_n or_o how_o a_o army_n by_o cut_v off_o the_o soldier_n may_v be_v shatter_v and_o break_v and_o a_o entrench_v leaguer_n may_v be_v break_v up_o and_o force_v true_o such_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o esteem_n if_o we_o will_v have_v any_o respect_n to_o these_o dangerous_a time_n wherein_o we_o live_v they_o ought_v to_o be_v encourage_v because_o no_o potentate_n can_v be_v long_o in_o peace_n than_o his_o neighbour_n please_v and_o that_o scarce_o any_o strength_n be_v able_a to_o resist_v the_o fury_n of_o terrible_a cannon_n well_o manage_v and_o among_o all_o arm_n in_o time_n of_o war_n the_o great_a ordnance_n be_v first_o in_o use_n whether_o it_o be_v against_o or_o in_o a_o beleaguer_a place_n and_o especial_o when_o they_o be_v right_o manage_v with_o discretion_n they_o be_v both_o helpful_a and_o encourage_v to_o their_o party_n and_o

give_v their_o ordnance_n only_o the_o blame_n of_o their_o flight_n because_o they_o be_v not_o well_o manage_v what_o a_o gunner_n ought_v to_o be_v to_o who_o the_o charge_n be_v commit_v and_o what_o he_o ought_v to_o know_v as_o it_o be_v necessary_a in_o all_o fortify_v place_n as_o well_o in_o time_n of_o peace_n as_o of_o war_n to_o have_v able_a practise_a gunner_n who_o be_v able_a
