And
furthermore
to

he
appoynted

made

Liuius

And
to
th

Anniball
shoulde
not
perceyue
nor
suspecte
his
departynge
,
whan
he
had
picked
out
ten
thousand
of
the
most
valyant
men
of

he
commanded
the
other

that

lest
Anniball
suspectynge
somewhat
theyr
smal
number
,
shulde
set

And
so
he
departed
priuily
,
and
came
to
his
felowe
,
and
ioyned
theyr
armyes
in
one
,
sufferynge
in

so
with

togither

they
set
vpon

and
ouercame
hym
,
and
than
he
agayne
with
all
spede
possible
returned
vnto
Anniball

Thus
by
one

he
begyled

broke
vyolently
into

playnly
protested
,
that
he
wolde
slee
hym
with

so
euer
of
theym
wolde
not
take
an
othe

to

he
drewe
his

,
thretnynge
to
slee
hym
,
that
was
nexte
hym

if
he
made
not
the

his
example
,
to
sweare
the
