tion of the Council of War in that case.
And the L100 allowed by the Parliament for the ornament of the muster
in every tribe, shall be expended by the phylarch upon such artificial
castles, citadels, or the like devices, as may make the best and most
profitable sport for the youth and their spectators.

"Which being ended, the censors having prepared the urns by putting
into the horse-urn 220 gold balls, whereof ten are to be marked with
the letter M and other ten with the letter P; into the foot-urn 700 gold
balls, whereof fifty are to be marked, with the letter M and fifty with
the letter P; and after they have made the gold balls in each urn, by
the addition of silver balls to the same, in number equal with the horse
and foot of the stratiots, the lord lieutenant shall call the stratiots

are not marked, and whose surnames begin with the letter A, shall repair
to a clerk appertaining to the custos rotulorum, who shall first take

be alphabetically enrolled. And the youth of this list being 600 foot

ready upon command to march. They whose balls are marked with M,
amounting, by twenty horse and fifty foot in a tribe, to 2,500 foot and
500 horse in all the tribes, and they whose balls are marked with P, in
every point correspondent, are parts of the third essay; they in M being
straight to march for Marpesia, and they of P for Panopea, to the ends
and according to the further directions following in the order for the
provincial orbs.

"If the polemarchs or field officers be elected by the scrutiny of the
Council of War, and the strategus commanded by the Parliament or the
