THere is one called Phares, which is an Carle, yong and valiant, not regarding this present life: this man hath vnder his commaund fifteene hundred Horsemen armed lightly, onely on the fore-part and head-peece: yet this Armour is so well tempered and wrought, that it keepeth out a Launce and Harque∣bush shot.
This manner of arming themselues, is to the in∣tent they may neuer turne their backe to runne away: they haue also fierce and light horses: they are eigh∣teene thousand footemen, apparrelled with a kinde of sodden leather, made of the skinne of a certaine Beast, so that no pike nor Harquebush can pearse it. These men are beastly people, and wil neuer flie for any thing, they are very obedient and subiect vnto their Prince, and their ordinary apparrel is Silke. The Ensigne that they beare, is a falcon pecking or billing with an∣other Byrde, with a sentence that faith, Either thine or mine shall breake.
