cannot or will not almost obey: onely breeding terror where they march and scath where they continue. In these daies when a yong man commeth newly into a regiment of Footmen, I presume that he learneth some feates of warre, also to be the more couragious: but it is to bee feared least in the same Schoole he get as great im∣perfections, which darken all the good that he had learned, as I haue shewed els where. Where cōtrariwise these fower regiments would be as it were great springs from whence would flowe none but fayre and cleere water, which shedding it selfe all ouer the Realme would clarifie those that are troubled. For discipline be∣ing established and obserued, such as followe the same, shewing themselues euery where gentle to their equalles, obedient to their superiours, courteous to the commōs, and stout against the proud, especially against their enemies, should cause all men much more to admire them therefore, then for their bigge lookes: besides the fame of so braue an institution being spred abroad, all noble harts will detest the accustomed corruptions, and withall desire to sub∣mit themselues to the same. Had I not heretofore seene the like effects proceede of the like cause, I would not speake so boldly as I doe.

Capteynes and Companies, will much augment expences, which though they be ordinarie doe neuerthelesse growe grieuous in the ende: also that it were better to mainteyne but tenne compleat. To whom I will aunswer, that my entent is not to forme one full re∣giment: for alwaies as affayres growe on, it shall bee but one regi∣ment: but I looke to lay the foundation of many, which being good, all that shall be built thereon will take the like goodnesse, that is to say, Valour. As also it would followe thereof that we should haue thrise so many men, which is one of the drifts that I tend vnto. For, as hath bene aforesayd, these fower bodies should maintaine 0
