hundred into a record to be diligently kept at the rendezvous of the
same, the first public game of this commonwealth shall begin and be
performed in this manner. Whereas there is to be at every rendezvous of
a hundred, one cannon, culverin, or saker, the prize arms being forged
by sworn armorers of this commonwealth, and for their proof, besides
their beauty, viewed and tried at the tower of Emporium, shall be
exposed by the justice of peace appertaining to that hundred (the said
justice with the jurymen being judges of the game), and the judges shall
deliver to the horseman that gains the prize at the career, one suit
of arms being of the value L20, to the pikeman that gains the prize
at throwing the bullet, one suit of arms of the value of L10, to the
musketeer that gains the prize at the mark with his musket, one suit of
arms of the value of L10, and to the cannoneer that gains the prize at
the mark with the cannon, culverin, or saker, a chain of silver being

receive the whole muster of the youth of that tribe at the rendezvous of

to the directions given in the like case for the distribution of the
elders; and the whole squadron being put by that means in battalia,
