Before thou undertakest a War, let thine Eye number thy Forces, and let thy Judgment
weigh them. If thou hast a rich Enemy, no matter how poor thy Soldiers be, if coura∣gious and faithful. Trust not too much the Power of thy Treasure, for it will deceive thee; being more apt to expose thee for a Prey, than to defend thee. Gold is not able to find good Soldiers; but good Sol∣diers are able to find out Gold.
