made, that atones, and at a beck of a capitain, the horsmen were on foote, and likewise at a token, thei mounted on horsebacke.  And soche exercises, bothe on foote and on horsebacke, as thei were then easie to bee doen, so now thei should not be difficult to thesame common weale, or to thesame prince, whiche would cause them to be put in practise of their yong men.  As by experience is seen, in certaine citees of the Weste countrie, where is kepte a live like maners with this order.  Thei devide all their inhabiters into divers partes:  and every parte thei name of the kinde of those weapons, that thei use in the warre.  And for that thei use Pikes, Halbardes, Bowes, and Harkebuses, thei call them Pike menne, Halberders, Harkebutters, and Archars:  Therefore, it is mete for all the inhabiters to declare, in what orders thei will be appoincted in.  And for that all men, either for age, or for other impedimentes, be not fitte for the warre, every order maketh a choise of men, and thei call them the sworen, whom in idell daies, be bounde to exercise themselves in those weapons, wherof thei be named:  and every manne hath his place appoincted hym of the cominaltie, where soche exercise ought to be made:  and those whiche be of thesame order, but not of the sworen, are contributaries with their money, to thesame expenses, whiche in soche exercises be necessarie:  therfore thesame that thei doe, we maie doe.  But our smal prudence dooeth not suffre us, to take any good waie.  Of these exercises there grewe, that the antiquitie had good souldiours, and that now those of the Weste, bee better men then ours:  for as moche as the antiquitie exercised them, either at home (as those common weales doe) or in the armies, as those Emperours did, for thoccasions aforesaied:  but we, at home will not exercise theim, in Campe we cannot, bicause thei are not our subjectes, and for that we are not able to binde them to other exercises then thei them selves liste to doe:  the whiche occacion hath made, that firste the armies bee neclected, and after, the orders, and that the kyngdomes, and the common weales, in especially Italians, live in soche debilitie.  But let us tourne to our order, and folowyng this matter of exercises, I saie, how it suffiseth not to make good armies, for havyng hardened the men, made them strong, swift, and handsome, it is nedefull also, that thei learne to stande in the orders, to obeie to signes, to soundes, and to the voice of the capitain:  to knowe, standyng, to retire them selves, goyng forwardes, bothe faightyng, and marchyng to maintain those:  bicause without this knowlege, withal serious diligence observed, and practised, there was never armie good:  and without doubt, the fierce and disordered menne, bee moche more weaker, then the fearfull that are ordered, for that thorder driveth awaie from men feare, the disorder abateth fiercenesse.  And to the entente you maie the better perceive that, whiche here folowyng shalbe declared, you have to understande, how every
