with caution not
to be drunk and forgett your worship, I tooke my leave and went about
my Inventorie.

_Un_. Theis things are very right, _Thomas_. Let me see now the bookes
of Martiall discipline.

_Tho_. I bought up all that I found have relation to warr and fighting.

_Un_. That was weldone.--Item: _The Sword Salve_.

_Tho_. This I conceiv'd to have the vertue of _Achilles_ speare: if you
bee hurt you need goe no further then the blade for a Surgeon.

_Un_. The _Buckler of Faith_.

_Tho_. You had the sword before, Sir.

_Un_. A _Booke of Mortification_.

_Tho_. I, Sir, that is a kind of killing which I thought very necessary
for a Captaine.

_Un_. Item: the _Gunpowder Treason_ and the _Booke of Cannons_.

_Tho_. I wod not lett any shott scape mee.

_Un_. _Shakespeares_ Workes.--Why _Shakespeares_ Workes?

_Tho_. Oh, sir, for ticktack. You know it was in my note, which though I
doubted at first, yet considering you were newly made a Cap: I conceiv'd
it was fitt you should learne to sett and or[d]er your men.

_Un_. Tacticks, man: thou didst mistake, they are bookes of warre.

_Tho_. You cannot know these from bookes as they are painted,
I warrant you.

_Un_. Why, dost thou thinke theis will make a Souldier?

_Tho_. Not of themselves, Sir, and therefore I provided: please you
read on, Sir.

_Un_. _Parsons Resolutions_ and _Felthams Resolves_[241].

_Tho_. All is nothing I knew, Sir, without resolution.

_Un_. Summa totalis three and twenty poundes nyneteene shillings and
sevenpence.--Thou hast undone mee.

_Tho_. If you doe not like the pennyworths tis but the charges of my
selfe and a horse agen to _London_. I will lose but the three odd pounds
19s and 7d: it may be you doe not understand these Authors: when the
Captaine comes he will expound 'em to you.

_Un_. What a Coxcombe have I to my man! but I dare not be angry with
him. Well, carry 'em i
