POLICIE XCV. A diversion is a stratagem in war.
IF you would prevaile upon your adversary in a businesse, and you thinke hee prepares too strongly to bee opposed by any force or endeavour of yours, cre∣ate something which may make him some worke elsewhere, and draw part of his care and strength to it, then apply your selfe to a way, which may bee least suspe∣cted to him, and where hee may be most weake for resistance; and this is to make him retaile those forces by parcels, he intended to bring in whole upon you.
Thus,
Joshua sent some to lie in waite behind the city, and I and the people will approach▪ sayes he, till we have drawne them from the city, then yee shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon it,
Josh. 8. 4▪ 6, 7.
