help_v it_o be_v so_o great_a a_o work_n and_o my_o experience_n be_v not_o so_o much_o that_o way_n as_o in_o foot_n i_o will_v not_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o deliver_v any_o certain_a ground_n for_o it_o but_o will_v only_o point_v at_o some_o way_n whereby_o i_o conceive_v it_o may_v be_v reform_v the_o defect_n consist_v chief_o in_o want_n of_o fit_a horse_n and_o fit_a man_n to_o be_v horseman_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o great_a want_n of_o the_o two_o and_o can_v but_o wonder_v that_o so_o great_a a_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v so_o defective_a in_o so_o brave_a and_o noble_a a_o strength_n wherein_o our_o near_a neighbour_n so_o abound_v in_o ancient_a time_n we_o be_v not_o so_o it_o may_v be_v one_o reason_n be_v that_o now_o our_o nation_n be_v more_o addict_v to_o run_v and_o hunt_v horse_n then_o in_o those_o elder_a time_n for_o remedy_v under_o correction_n first_o that_o there_o where_o care_v take_v that_o there_o be_v a_o strong_a breed_n of_o horse_n through_o the_o kingdom_n then_o that_o his_o majesty_n will_v begin_v at_o his_o court_n and_o there_o convert_v his_o band_n of_o pensioner_n into_o a_o brave_a troop_n of_o curasser_n there_o horse_n at_o least_o so_o ready_a as_o to_o give_v and_o change_v a_o pistol_n on_o sometime_o to_o exercise_v they_o by_o shoot_v at_o a_o mark_n on_o horseback_n with_o their_o pistol_n and_o always_o to_o keep_v this_o band_n so_o to_o admit_v none_o to_o those_o place_n but_o such_o as_o before_o be_v know_v to_o be_v horseman_n and_o can_v use_v pistol_n on_o horseback_n then_o that_o the_o lord_n and_o other_o of_o his_o majesty_n great_a officer_n and_o council_n do_v follow_v this_o example_n and_o every_o one_o to_o keep_v some_o great_a horse_n to_o have_v arm_n and_o pistol_n and_o some_o such_o servant_n as_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v horseman_n and_o to_o induce_v other_o lord_n and_o gentleman_n of_o great_a estate_n to_o do_v to_o like_v and_o encourage_v they_o thereto_o to_o reserve_v all_o personal_a honour_n except_o experience_a soldier_n that_o have_v bear_v good_a command_n for_o such_o nobleman_n and_o gentleman_n as_o do_v in_o this_o conform_v themselves_o to_o do_v his_o majesty_n and_o country_n service_n whereby_o those_o which_o never_o intend_v to_o make_v the_o war_n their_o trade_n may_v be_v bring_v so_o far_o as_o to_o be_v enable_v to_o do_v something_o for_o the_o defence_n of_o their_o king_n and_o country_n if_o the_o nobleman_n and_o gentleman_n will_v take_v this_o to_o heart_n as_o they_o have_v do_v run_v of_o race_n for_o bell_n which_o i_o can_v wish_v be_v convert_v to_o shoot_v at_o a_o mark_n with_o pistol_n on_o horseback_n for_o the_o same_o bell_n they_o will_v be_v sufficient_a for_o curassier_n now_o for_o other_o kind_n of_o horse_n i_o will_v that_o the_o train_a band_n be_v increase_v and_o all_o reform_a to_o harquebusier_n but_o whether_o their_o piece_n to_o be_v with_o firelock_n or_o snaphaunce_n be_v questionable_a the_o firelock_n be_v more_o certain_a for_o give_v fire_n the_o other_o more_o facile_a for_o use_v for_o the_o present_a my_o opinion_n be_v at_o first_o it_o be_v best_a to_o take_v up_o the_o snaphance_n until_o pistol_n be_v more_o frequent_a which_o be_v more_o difficult_a to_o use_v be_v fit_a as_o before_o for_o gentleman_n to_o begin_v first_o to_o bring_v into_o use_n when_o they_o have_v once_o bring_v they_o to_o be_v ordinary_a it_o will_v be_v more_o facile_a to_o bring_v they_o into_o use_n among_o the_o inferior_a sort_n and_o for_o the_o present_a this_o kingdom_n have_v not_o except_o in_o london_n and_o it_o may_v be_v some_o few_o town_n beside_o artificer_n that_o can_v make_v or_o amend_v firelock_n then_o i_o will_v have_v a_o muster-master_n a_o part_n for_o the_o horse_n as_o well_o as_o for_o the_o foot_n well_o choose_v some_o old_a horseman_n out_o of_o the_o low-countries_n for_o that_o it_o be_v scarce_o possible_a to_o find_v man_n that_o be_v fit_a and_o able_a for_o both_o horse_n and_o foot_n the_o kingdom_n thus_o arm_v and_o exercise_v a_o enemy_n can_v land_v in_o any_o part_n of_o it_o but_o without_o unturnish_v the_o other_o part_n there_o will_v be_v a_o competent_a army_n present_o find_v to_o make_v resistance_n it_o may_v be_v say_v these_o advises_n will_v be_v find_v not_o practiquable_v or_o very_o difficult_o so_o be_v all_o great_a work_n at_o first_o but_o i_o conceive_v if_o his_o majesty_n will_v take_v it_o to_o heart_n and_o give_v encouragement_n of_o honour_n and_o preferrement_n to_o such_o as_o conform_v themselves_o to_o his_o pleasure_n herein_o and_o make_v this_o the_o way_n of_o advancement_n it_o will_v not_o be_v difficult_a but_o if_o without_o this_o way_n honour_n and_o advancement_n may_v be_v have_v well_o may_v many_o think_v why_o shall_v they_o take_v such_o pain_n or_o be_v at_o such_o charge_n for_o that_o which_o may_v more_o easy_o be_v have_v and_o here_o i_o can_v but_o blame_v our_o nation_n in_o the_o general_a for_o i_o believe_v the_o most_o glorious_a of_o our_o neighbour_n will_v grant_v it_o as_o valiant_a a_o nation_n as_o be_v on_o the_o earth_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v more_o addict_v to_o arm_n but_o give_v themselves_o for_o the_o most_o to_o expenseful_a pleasure_n altogether_o unserviceable_a for_o king_n and_o country_n whereas_o there_o be_v not_o a_o french_a gentleman_n that_o so_o soon_o as_o he_o begin_v to_o write_v man_n but_o learn_v to_o ride_v to_o use_v his_o arm_n on_o foot_n and_o horseback_n and_o

gunner_n and_o soldier_n present_a in_o they_o as_o his_o majesty_n pay_v on_o all_o occasion_n to_o be_v use_v if_o less_o will_v serve_v then_o why_o shall_v his_o majesty_n be_v charge_v to_o pay_v
