BAPTISTE. When there should bee made besides the diche within, a diche also without, should it not bee stronger? FABRICIO. It should be without doubt, but mindyng to make one diche onely, myne opinion is, that it standeth better within then without. BAPTISTE. Would you, that water should bee in the diches, or would you have them drie?
Some, which chaunsing to bee in suche perill, have inclosed their armie on the hinder parte with a diche, and fillyng the same full of towe, and firyng it, have then passed with the armie without beyng able to be letted of the enemie, he beyng by the same fire that was betwene them held backe.
For that swiftnesse, maketh theim apte to possesse places, before the enemie, and to come to them unloked for, and at unwares to pursue them, when thei are discomfaicted: the readinesse, maketh theim apte to avoide a blowe, to leape over a diche, to winne a banke: strength, maketh them the better able to beare their armours, to incounter the enemie, to withstande a violence.
