countries, and have aboute him divers men, that have the verie same expertenes.  Thei avoide also diseases, and famishment, with causyng the armie to kepe no misrule, for that to purpose to maintain it in health, it is nedefull to provide, that the souldiours maie slepe under tentes, that thei maie lodge where bee Trees, that make shadowe, where woodde is for to dresse their meate, that thei go not in the heate, and therefore thei muste bee drawen out of the campe, before daie in Summer, and in Winter, to take hede that thei marche not in the Snowe, and in the Froste, without havyng comoditie to make fire, and not to lack necessarie aparel, nor to drink naughtie water:  those that fall sicke by chaunce, make them to bee cured of Phisicions:  bicause a capitain hath no reamedie, when he hath to faight with sicknesse, and with an enemie:  but nothing is so profitable, to maintaine the armie in health, as is the exercise:  and therfore the antiquitie every daie, made them to exercise:  wherby is seen how muche exercise availeth:  for that in the Campe, it kepeth thee in health, and in the faight victorious.  Concernyng famishemente, it is necessarie to see, that the enemie hinder thee not of thy victualles, but to provide where thou maieste have it, and to see that thesame whiche thou haste, bee not loste:  and therefore it is requisite, that thou have alwaies in provision with the armie, sufficiente victuall for a monethe, and then removyng into some strong place, thou muste take order with thy nexte frendes, that daily thei maie provide for thee, and above al thinges bestowe the victual with diligence, givyng every daie to every manne, a reasonable measure, and observe after soche sorte this poincte, that it disorder thee not:  bicause all other thyng in the warre, maie with tyme be overcome, this onely with tyme overcometh thee:  nor there shall never any enemie of thyne, who maie overcome thee with famishemente, that will seeke to overcome thee with iron.  For that though the victory be not so honourable, yet it is more sure and more certaine:  Then, thesame armie cannot avoide famishemente, that is not an observer of justice, whiche licenciously consumeth what it liste:  bicause the one disorder, maketh that the victualls commeth not unto you, the other, that soche victuall as commeth, is unprofitably consumed:  therefore thantiquitie ordained, that thei should spende thesame, whiche thei gave, and in thesame tyme when thei appoincted:  for that no souldiour did eate, but when the Capitaine did eate:  The whiche how moche it is observed of the armies nowe adaies, every manne knoweth, and worthely thei can not bee called menne of good order and sober, as the antiquitie, but lasivious and drunkardes.

BAPTISTE. You saied in the beginnyng of orderynge the Campe, that you woulde not stande onely uppon twoo maine battailes, but woulde take fower, for to shewe how a juste armie incamped:  therfore I would you shoulde tell me twoo thynges, the one, when I shoulde have more or lesse men, howe I ought to incampe them, the other, what numbre of souldiours should suffice you to faight against what so ever enemie that were.
