in necessitie The Emporiall lawe ordeineth that a Capteine ought to exercyse his soldiers when leysr srueth: ffor a man longe nourished in Idlenes doothe channge his valianncie gotten by discipline. Vigetio in an other place saith The knowledge of Armes is kepte by often exercyse and more helpeth the vse of fighte then fortitude, wch disused from armes, differeth not from effeminacie. St Jerome saith the bodie accustomed to delicate garments doth vnwillinglie weare the weightie Corslett. ffor thease respects the vnskillfull sholde eschue the conflicte, wherto his members wolde have bene framed. ffor who so hath his weake bones covered wth tender flesh, enconntred wth an olde soldier, shall easelie be oppressed. He ought therfore to be so vsed to armes, that either armed or disarmed, he may finde him self wieldie and dispozed. Tullius writeth that the soldier vnexercysed in armes, placed in [quadron?], sheweth him selfe like a woman St Jerome saith that the good soldier muste ever seeke occasion wherby he maye declare the magnaminitie of his minde, and he yf seeketh rewardes therof, let him shewe his hurtes for an ornamente. Quintilliano affirmeth that the good soldier never refuzeth the heates of sommer, nor seeketh the furred garmente to defende the winters coulde: Such therfore as are nursed in delicacies cannot indure the weightie armour, and they yf have not shed the blood of their bodeis by gevinge & receavinge grevous wondes, yt is not likely that at their handes, victorie is to be looked for, but only thorough the grace of the almightie powre, and not their owne virtue, Suche there fore as are to fighte for life, a longe time is geven to pve [prove] the listes, and wth other men at armes to practize them selues, and in suche exercyses to prepare the witte, dispose their force, encorage the minde, make apte eache member, and by experte counsell to forsee the deceipt of thennemie wch Solomon in his proverbs allowth sainge, counsell is needfull in battell. Also Seneca saith that longe preparation to fighte giveth a firme hope of desired victorie. It is then needfull to prepare discreetlie to learne to furnish both man and horse of armes both offensive and defensive needefull to the offence of the ennemie, nor in anye wise
