,
for

.
And
for

aduertisement
of

with
the
order
of
the

and
custome
of

controuersies
,
and
diuerse
times
grow
rash

vnaduised
oathes
,
to

glory
,
here

1
First
,
for

finding
of
your
marke
it
must
be
within
euerie
mans
reach
.
Also
the
precise
naming
of
your
marke
preuenteth
much
cauill
.
2
Secondly
for
whites
you
may
haue
as
many
as
you
will
,
so
they
be
all
forwards
:
and
if
you
shoote
at
any
loose
white
,
if
it
be
striken
out
of
sight
,
it
is
no
marke
.
3
Thirdly
,
for
the
highest
of
stakes
,
although
the
wood
be
aboue
the
pin
,
you
are
to
measure
at
the
pin
if
there
be
any
,
because
it
is
put
in
for
the
same
purpose
.
4
Fourthly
,
if
you
find
a
bush
or
a
black
,
whatsoeuer
you
find
highest
in
it
,
being
within
the
compasse
of
the
marke
,
you
are
to
take
it
for
the
height
.
5
Fifthly
,
for
all
trees
you
are
to
measure
at
foot
and
pole
,
except
in
the
naming
of
it
you
say
,
At
the
naile
in
such
a
tree
,
or
hole
in
such
a
tree
,
or
being
a
tree
of
so
small
height
,
that
you
may
reach
the
top
of
it
with
halfe
your
bow
,
then
you
may
take
the
highest
.
6
Sixtly
,
if
in
measuring
of
a
shoot
,
by
hast
the
marke
is
stirred
,
he
is
to
lose
the
shoot
that
measureth
it
.
7
Seuenthly
,
when
you
come
to
the
marke
and
claime
two
,
and
the
contrary
sides
draw
their
arrowes
,
and
when
your
mate
commeth
he
saith
,
his
would
win
too
,
you
are
to
winn
no
more
then
you
claimed
.
8
Eightly
,
if
you
name
one
mark
and
shoot
at
another
,
you
are
to
lose
your
shoot
,
and
they
are
to
follow
at
the
marke
named
.
9
Lastly
,
if
your
arrow
breake
,
you
may
measure
to
the
nearest
peece
that
hath
wood
and
head
