But in case there bee no trenches, the Corps de gard (in mine opinion) is not to be placed aboue 70, or 80, pases distance (as I haue said before) from the front of the allodgements in his place of armes; yet somtimes there be found ditches, bottoms, and vallies so strong, that it shall be good for the gards to be placed there, although they be far∣ther distant off,Great silence is to bee kept in the body of the watch. then I speake of; for such strengths by nature do serue and stand in steede of ditches and trenches. But not finding such naturall fences, the wat∣ches are to be placed, as before I haue sayd.

And it is to be noted, as a thing of great importance, that great silence be kept in the body of the watch, at the least all ru∣mour and lowd noises are to be excluded,The Sentinels what distance a∣sunder, and from the Corps de guard. and in their conuersations to talke mo∣destly, stilly, and with low voices.Gent.And the Sentinels, what distance should they stand from the Corps de guard?Capt.About thirtie pases,The Sentinels the wall of the campe, therefore neare together. litle more or lesse.Gent.And how farre the one from the other?Capt.There ought to be no more distance betwixt them, then that they may easily discerne one an other, how darke soeuer the night be. For the Sentinels, be∣ing the wall of the campe, & which do serue that no body may enter in, nor passe out thereof,Sentinels better double thē single. without being seene and discouered, now if they should be placed too wide a distance off, that would not follow, which is pretended.Gent.And those Sentinels are they to be single?The Sentinell vi∣gilant, silent and carefull.Capt.No, but double, for foure eyes may see and discerne better then two, and because, if sleepe do assaile them, or could, the one (opprest with sleep) might walke, and the other stand vigilant at the watch, with all stilnesse and silence, and 0
