To
the
right
honorable
,
the
Lorde
ROBERT
DVDDELEY
Maister
of
the
Queenes
horse
,
and
Knight
of
the
noble
order
of
the
Sarter
,
Iames
Rowbothum
wissheth
long
lyfe
with
encrease
of
godly
honour
.
AS
THE
graue
and
waightye
affaires
of
Princes
(
moste
honorable
)
require
men
of
profounde
knowledge
and
experience
,
whiche
must
dayly
consider
and
easte
in
their
myndes
some
good
,
holesome
and
profitable
counsell
for
the
gouernement
of
the
common
wealth
by
good
lawes
:
so
also
muste
they
for
recreation
sake
,
surcease
sometime
from
those
extreme
trauailes
of
the
mynde
,
and
refreshe
theyr
memorie
and
carefull
heades
with
some
recreatiue
exercise
meete
for
their
estate
.
And
as
there
bee
for
noble
men
noble
pastimes
(
and
inuented
first
onelye
for
the
nobilitie
)
as
feates
of
armes
,
turneys
,
fighting
at
the
barriers
,
runninge
at
the
tilt
,
cleane
ryding
of
horses
,
with
other
like
,
whereby
the
nobilitie
of
realmes
was
first
increased
and
great
renowne
gotten
,
&
were
done
altogether
with
the
strength
of
the
arme
and
corage
of
the
hart
:
so
is
there
also
for
the
lyke
,
certain
other
wittie
inuentions
of
playes
or
games
to
recreate
the
mynde
withall
,
and
are
learned
and
exercised
not
with
the
outward
stregth
of
the
bodye
,
but
with
the
inwarde
force
of
witte
and
intelligence
,
to
the
great
sharpening
of
the
ententiue
partes
of
mannes
vnderstanding
,
the
which
I
will
not
trouble
your
Lordship
with
in
numbringe
them
:
but
amonge
so
many
as
are
vsed
and
exercised
in
courtes
of
Princes
,
in
Lordes
,
Knightes
,
and
Gentelmens
houses
,
none
(
in
my
iudgement
)
is
more
meete
for
noble
men
,
then
the
noble
playe
or
game
of
the
Cheastes
inuented
first
by
a
noble
Philosopher
,
or
as
some
thinke
by
the
noble
King
Xerxes
.
Wherein
if
I
shoulde
declare
perticulerly
the
witte
,
the
inuention
,
the
warlyke
order
,
the
polityke
conueyaunce
,
that
great
pleasure
is
taken
in
it
,
of
them
that
haue
practised
the
knowledge
of
it
,
I
shoulde
seeme
to
tedious
vnto
your
Lordshippe
:
but
yet
left
I
should
pretermit
the
commendation
of
suche
a
kingly
game
,
I
thought
it
my
dutie
to
present
your
Lordship
with
this
lytle
booke
,
teaching
an
order
how
to
playe
perfitly
and
to
the
aduauntage
,
with
the
names
that
both
the
French
men
,
Spaniardes
and
Italians
call
the
Cheastmen
by
,
&
also
the
fashion
and
ordering
of
the
chrast
bourd
,
which
was
neuer
before
this
tyme
in
our
tonge
as
farre
as
I
can
learne
with
so
good
and
compendious
a
waye
to
learne
the
same
.
And
althoughe
I
knowe
that
bothe
your
Lordship
,
with
diuers
other
of
the
noble
men
&
gentle
men
of
this
realme
can
play
excellent
ly
at
this
game
of
the
Cheast
,
&
haue
as
deepe
knowledge
therein
as
either
French
men
,
Italians
or
Spaniardes
haue
:
yet
because
none
euer
attempted
to
put
in
writynge
the
feate
,
witte
,
and
pollicie
that
is
in
it
,
and
that
they
vnderstande
.
I
was
so
bolde
(
hauing
found
it
translated
out
of
French
into
Englishe
after
the
forme
and
maner
in
all
poyntes
as
it
is
here
printed
)
to
choose
your
honoure
to
whome
I
mighte
offer
this
simple
present
,
trustinge
that
as
your
Lordshippe
doth
alwais
gratefully
accept
more
the
giuers
good
will
,
than
the
value
of
the
gift
,
the
same
will
receyue
this
booke
into
the
number
of
those
which
other
haue
geuen
vnto
your
honour
,
although
of
greater
importaunce
,
yet
not
of
greater
good
will
.
Which
I
doubt
not
but
in
many
thinges
you
wil
delyte
to
reade
,
and
to
consider
when
so
euer
occasion
shal
be
offred
to
your
lordship
to
playe
at
the
same
game
,
being
a
pastime
without
all
tediousnes
,
malice
,
melancoly
,
anger
,
gyle
,
or
deceit
,
and
hath
in
it self
a
certaine
maiestie
bothe
in
the
setting
of
the
men
and
also
in
naming
them
.
Besides
that
it
hath
formam
instructae
acici
and
of
a
raunged
battaile
the
Kinge
placed
in
the
middle
as
is
seene
by
the
settinge
of
the
men
.
The
cause
why
,
of
whom
,
and
when
it
was
made
,
your
Lordship
shall
read
in
the
beginning
of
the
booke
which
is
a
thing
worthy
to
be
knowen
,
for
that
it
is
now
so
common
lye
vsed
in
this
realme
,
as
well
of
noble
men
as
of
others
of
lower
estate
and
degree
,
to
the
great
quickening
of
their
wit
and
memorie
.
Whiche
game
as
it
is
kinglye
and
honest
,
and
meete
for
diuers
sortes
of
men
,
so
is
it
(
in
manye
mennes
iudgements
)
not
altogether
vnprofitable
for
Captains
,
Conductours
of
armies
,
and
common
Soldiours
.
For
out
of
those
wodden
men
may
some
knowledge
bee
had
howe
to
marche
and
sette
furth
Soldiours
in
the
fielde
,
how
to
garde
a
King
,
and
what
forces
ought
to
be
in
the
sides
of
the
battaile
,
as
in
the
discourse
of
playing
it
,
men
maye
easely
see
.
Thus
leauynge
to
holde
your
Lordshippe
with
any
longer
Epistle
,
from
the
reading
of
the
booke
,
I
wishe
the
same
longe
lyfe
in
healthe
,
with
muche
encrease
of
vertus
and
honor

To
the
reader
.
IT
may
peraduenture
seeme
straunge
vnto
some
that
anye
man
should
bestow
his
labour
and
tyme
in
setting
out
such
kynd
of
bookes
as
this
is
,
whereby
men
may
learne
to
playe
,
when
in
dede
most
men
are
geuen
rather
to
play
then
to
studye
.
And
because
there
may
be
alledged
some
reasons
,
why
no
man
ought
to
allure
anye
vnto
games
:
some
more
curious
then
wise
wyll
by
and
by
catch
occasion
if
not
to
condempne
yet
to
disproue
the
trauayle
and
paynes
that
hath
ben
taken
in
this
,
&
so
thinke
that
either
the
authour
or
the
translatour
might
haue
bene
much
better
occupied
.
Whose
opinion
and
iudgement
I
graunt
were
true
&
good
if
it
were
a
booke
cōteinig
any
art
of
dise
plaie
,
of
cogging
,
or
setting
dyce
,
of
falshod
in
carde
play
,
or
any
other
like
sleights
for
the
deceiuing
one
another
or
for
sturring
men
to
anger
as
suche
games
do
often
tymes
.
But
for
asmuch
as
this
game
or
rather
kingly
pastime
is
not
only
voyde
of
all
crafte
,
gyle
,
fraude
,
deceyt
,
colour
,
swearing
,
staring
,
impacience
,
fretting
,
or
falling
out
:
but
also
it
breadeth
in
playes
a
certaine
studye
,
pollicie
,
wit
,
forcast
,
memorie
,
with
other
properties
,
to
make
men
circumspect
not
onelye
in
playing
this
game
,
but
also
comparing
it
to
a
publick
gouernement
,
or
more
properly
a
batttel
,
all
men
as
well
Captaines
as
souldiours
,
may
pike
out
of
these
wodden
pieces
some
pretie
pollicie
how
to
lead
or
conduct
liuely
men
in
the
field
.
For
this
game
hath
a
certaine
allusion
or
similitude
of
a
ranged
battel
,
as
by
order
in
placing
the
men
and
setting
them
forth
in
their
marche
,
it
maye
easely
appeare
.
The
kinge
is
here
as
a
king
in
the
field
placed
in
the
middle
of
his
armie
,
and
hathe
his
welbeloued
queene
nexte
vnto
him
,
and
his
nobilitie
aboute
him
,
with
the
souldiours
in
the
forfront
orderly
set
.
And
although
this
bee
but
a
briefe
instruction
to
teache
to
playe
,
yet
the
onset
beinge
geuen
,
some
other
will
folowe
to
amplifie
or
to
finishe
this
ingenious
and
pretie
deuise
,
that
thereby
the
subtelties
and
hidden
gyles
of
this
game
maye
be
more
discouered
,
with
the
maner
how
to
play
without
bourd
or
men
walking
or
riding
on
horse
backe
with
as
great
delite
and
contentation
as
if
thei
had
the
chestebourde
and
men
in
their
handes
,
which
thing
is
done
by
diligent
noting
the
place
and
houses
wherein
eche
man
standeth
,
and
whither
or
into
what
house
he
marcheth
or
may
marche
,
euery
one
hauing
his
way
appoynted
him
to
go
.
And
in
the
meane
tyme
content
your selfe
with
this
,
for
I
assure
you
the
difficultie
to
expresse
or
set
out
the
types
and
figures
of
the
men
is
so
muche
and
the
chardges
so
greate
,
that
as
yet
no
man
woulde
euer
gladly
take
in
hand
to
prynt
them
.
Albeit
Hieronimus
Cardan
'
in
his
boke
de
varietate
rerum
,
geueth
a
certayne
forme
and
maner
,
how
to
set
out
in
print
the
cheste
bourd
and
the
men
vpon
it
,
according
to
the
diuersitie
of
the
colours
blacke
and
whyte
.
But
he
that
would
folow
him
shuld
cut
as
many
bourdes
and
diuers
figures
of
men
as
the
playe
hath
diuers
wayes
to
bee
played
,
whiche
woulde
be
intollerable
charges
.
And
therefore
(
curiositie
set
a
part
)
take
in
good
worth
these
types
and
figures
here
presented
vntyll
some
better
inuention
be
founde
.
For
I
doubt
not
but
there
be
in
England
as
good
heades
as
either
Italians
or
Spaniards
,
that
can
if
thei
woulde
inuent
as
fine
a
way
to
plai
at
this
game
as
this
is
:
but
yet
when
a
thing
is
begon
,
it
is
the
easier
and
the
soner
made
an
end
of
.
Now
thei
that
will
playe
well
at
this
game
,
muste
beware
that
they
talke
not
with
any
other
standinge
by
,
nor
geue
eare
to
anye
that
talketh
by
,
for
then
shal
his
senses
be
occupied
so
with
other
matters
that
his
enemie
that
playeth
against
him
will
with
his
diligence
giue
him
the
foyle
:
for
this
game
(
as
the
best
players
say
)
requireth
the
whole
man
,
and
consequently
all
the
senses
.
Take
hede
also
that
the
by
standers
(
whiche
commonlye
see
more
then
the
plaiers
)
do
neither
by
signe
or
word
admonishe
your
aduerse
partie
of
any
good
or
gaynfull
draughte
:
for
that
is
one
thing
amonge
many
other
that
causeth
choler
,
and
offendeth
one
of
the
plaiers
,
but
it
is
such
a
kind
of
choler
that
passeth
awaye
lightly
,
farre
vnlike
the
dyse
plaiers
anger
,
for
he
fretteth
,
he
fumeth
,
be
curseth
,
and
banneth
the
dyse
,
&
despyteth
his
ill
lucke
,
and
you
at
the
chest
,
blame
not
your
men
but
your selfe
,
so
that
yf
you
haue
a
mate
you
saye
commonly
,
yf
I
had
played
thus
or
thus
I
had
saued
the
mate
,
herein
is
no
offence
to
anye
but
vnto
your selfe
,
and
anone
it
is
gone
.
Suche
and
other
lyke
pleasure
is
there
in
this
game
,
beynge
a
moste
princely
exercise
,
and
full
of
good
pollicie
,
and
quickenynge
of
a
mans
witte
.
These
things
considered
,
I
thoughte
it
no
labour
euill
bestowed
to
occupie
me selfe
in
the
translation
hereof
,
at
tymes
extraordinarie
,
when
my
more
earnest
studies
and
busynes
were
done
:
Thus
fare
well

The
fyrst
Chapter
.
THE
principle
is
to
knowe
the
pieces
,
to
wit
,
the
name
,
the
number
,
and
the
seat
of
euery
one
.
As
for
the
fashion
of
the
pieces
,
that
is
according
to
the
fantasie
of
the
workman
,
which
maketh
them
after
his
maner
.
Some
make
them
lyke
men
,
whereof
the
kynge
is
the
highest
,
and
the

some

Amasone

&
some

,
lyke
as
also
they
are
next
vnto
the
king
and
the
Quene
:
other
some

archers
,
and
their
are
fashioned
accordinge
to
the
wyll
of
the
workeman

The
knights
some
call

men
on

The

Other

of

of
other
fashions
:
but
the

(
Our
Englishe
Cheastmen
,
are
commonly
made
nothing
like
vnto
these
foresayde
fashions
:
to
wit
,
the
king
is
made
the
highest
or
longest
:
the
Queene
is
longest
nexte

the

the

,
but
that
he
is
not
so
long
:
the
Paunes
he
made
the
smalest
&
least
of
all
,
&
thereby
they
may
best
be
knowen
.
This
haue
I
added
hereunto
good
reader
for
the
better
vnderstanding
and
knowing
of
the
said
cheastmen
)
.
I
wil
not
therfore
figurate
them
at
this
present
:
but
onely
in
speaking
of
euery
piece
particularly
,
I
will
name
them
accordinge
to
the
moste
frequent
phrase
in
the
Englishe
tonge
.
To
wit
,
the
(
king
beinge
the
head
of
the
playe
)
I
wyll
name
kyng
:
the
Queene
(
being
the
best
piece
in
the
game
)
I
will
name
quene
:
the
bishops
(
being
next
vnto
the
king
and
quene
)
I
wil
name
bishops
:
the
knights
(
being
next
vnto
the
bishops
)
I
will
cal
knights
:
the
Rookes
(
being
next
vnto
the
knights
and
standing
in
the
corners
)
I
will
call
Rookes
:
the
Paunes
(
standing
in
a
rowe
before
them
al
)
I
wil
call
Paunes
.
Of
the
Rooke
,
or
Towre
.
THe
Towre
is
named
amongest
the
Spaniards
,
Portingales
,
and
,
Italians
Rocho
,
whiche
is
as
muche
to
say
in
their
language
,
as
a
Fortresse
,
because
it
is
a
great
vpholdynge
to
the
game
,
also
the
Towres
are
set
in
the
vttermoste
ends
of
the
Cheastbourd
,
as
a
strong
rampier
in
the
fronte
.
Their
office
is
not
to
remoue
but
in
necessitie
,
and
chiefelye
for
the
succoure
of
theyr
Kynge
.
Of
the
knight
or
horseman
.
THe
Horseman
is
also
named
,
as
representinge
a
man
of
Armes
,
whiche
fighteth
on
horsebarke
,
and
his
seat
is
next
vnto
the
Towre
,
from
whence
he
must
come
into
battaile
,
and
place
him selfe
where
he
may
most
offend
.
For
there
is
no
piece
in
the
Cheastbourd
that
more
readily
may
do
hurt
then
he
,
because
of
his
marching
forth
,
whiche
is
made
from
three
into
three
places
,
to
witte
,
from
whyte
into
blacke
,
and
from
black
into
whyte
,
and
yet
he
ceasseth
not
to
make
his
assault
or
leape
,
although
he
be
enuyroned
,
prouided
that
he
haue
roume
to
place
him selfe
in
.
Of
the
Bishop
or
Archer
.
IN
the
auncient
tyme
the
French
men
named
him
Foole
,
whiche
seemeth
vnto
me
an
improper
name
.
The
Spaniardes
named
him
prince
,
with
some
reason
:
For
(
as
Prince
of
the
blood
)
he
is
nerer
vnto
the
King
and
the
Quene
then
any
other
of
the
Cheastmen
.
And
some
name
him
Archer
,
because
that
their
draughtes
draw
alwaies
asyde
,
and
neuer
forthe
right
:
as
it
is
the
office
of
a
good
Archer
or
Harquebusier
in
warre
:
whiche
neuer
planteth
him self
right
against
his
enemie
,
but
in
skirmishinge
or
in
plaine
fight
,
make
semblaunce
to
shoote
at
one
,
and
shooteth
at
another
,
not
remainynge
longe
in
a
place
.
If
our
Cheasse
Archer
haue
the
passage
open
,
he
maye
go
from
one
corner
of
the
Cheastbourde
into
the
other
.
But
as
for
the
aduantage
of
him
,
or
of
the
Knight
,
it
is
litle
,
and
hathe
therein
but
the
disposings
of
the
game
,
in
the
whiche
some
tymes
the
one
is
better
then
the
other
.
Like
as
also
there
bee
players
or
gamsters
,
which
helpe
them selues
better
with
the
horseman
then
with
the
archer
,
&
some
other
contrarywise
.
Of
the
Kyng
.
THe
king
is
the
head
of
the
Conducte
,
According
to
the
Spaniards
,
he
hath
libertie
to
assault
thre
roumes
or
stepps
,
as
he
listeth
,
yea
he
maye
make
the
assaulte
of
the
knight
,
so
that
he
haue
not
the
waye
:
but
it
muste
be
then
whylest
he
is
yet
in
his
lodgyng
,
and
that
he
is
not
remoued
,
otherwyse
he
can
make
no
more
but
one
steppe
.
Although
that
in
Italy
the
kynge
(
yf
he
haue
the
waye
open
)
maye
runne
all
the
length
of
the
Cheastbourd
,
or
may
remoue
a
Paune
,
to
set
him selfe
in
his
place
.
And
in
France
thei
cause
him
to
make
two
steppes
alonge
his
front
.
Prouided
that
there
bee
no
pieces
betwene
him
and
the
Rooke
,
&
set
the
rooke
in
the
place
of
the
king
.
Beholde
here
his
marchinges
,
and
his
libertie
,
prouided
that
he
haue
had
no
checke
.
And
for
to
tel
you
the
truth
the
kinge
was
played
none
otherwyse
in
the
auncient
tyme
,
but
after
the
maner
of
the
Frenchmen
,
yea
the
most
part
of
the
Spaniards
and
Portingales
(
who
are
estemed
the
best
players
)
did
play
it
so
.
Of
the
Quene
or
Amasone
.
SOme
name
her
Queene
,
other
some
Lady
,
it
is
the
best
piece
on
the
Cheastbourd
,
also
she
representeth
the
Kings
wife
.
Her
lodginge
is
nexte
to
the
Kinges
,
and
hath
as
great
a
traine
as
the
king
.
Briefely
she
representeth
a
Kings
Lieutenant
in
an
armye
:
she
doth
(
when
she
wil
)
the
office
of
y
erooks
&
also
of
the
bishops
.
And
because
the
seldom
the
wiues
go
to
warre
,
&
that
the
first
that
so
much
aduauntaged
their
kynde
(
as
to
go
thither
and
worke
merueyles
)
were
the
Amasones
,
therefore
some
name
her
Amasone
whyte
,
Amasone
blacke
.
But
aboue
all
,
the
Players
ought
to
kepe
her
well
,
because
that
the
game
is
seldome
wonne
,
after
that
she
is
once
loste
.
Of
the
Paune
or
foteman
.
THe
footeman
is
the
rampier
&
the
target
of
the
great
Cheast
men
,
and
by
the
kynges
especialtie
:
For
this
cause
that
when
he
can
procede
so
well
in
warre
,
as
to
arriue
at
the
laste
rancke
of
hys
enemies
,
he
is
chosen
and
made
the
best
piece
of
the
playe
,
to
wit
,
he
is
the
Quene
.
And
if
in
making
himselfe
Queene
,
he
can
geue
checke
,
he
is
so
muche
the
more
to
be
estemed
.
The
marchynge
forthe
of
the
Paune
,
for
the
fyrste
tyme
,
is
to
make
two
assaultes
or
leapes
,
yf
he
wyll
,
or
one
only
,
marchyng
alwayes
right
before
him
,
and
not
asyde
.
And
the
best
Paunes
are
next
vnto
the
King
.
Also
,
therefore
when
check
is
geuen
to
the
king
,
the
Paune
can
not
passe
the
barres
of
hys
way
for
to
succour
him
:
that
is
to
say
,
yf
checke
be
geuen
to
the
Kyng
,
the
Paune
can
not
marche
asyde
,
be
it
on
the
lefte
,
or
on
the
right
,
for
to
couer
his
Kinge
:
for
his
waye
is
beset
on
bothe
sydes
,
and
can
not
go
but
right
forth
,
and
alwayes
steppe
by
steppe
,
after
his
fyrst
marchyng
forthe
,
prouided
that
his
waye
bee
not
stopped
.
It
is
true
,
that
in
takyng
,
he
marcheth
awrye
one
only
steppe
,
of
what
syde
so
euer
it
bee
,
and
can
not
take
that
whiche
is
right
agaynst
him
.
It
shal
be
also
best
for
the
Paune
,
not
to
auaunce
him selfe
muche
within
the
campe
of
his
enemie
.
The
Checker
or
Cheastbourde
,
wherevpon
are
placed
the
pieces
,
euery
one
accordynge
to
hys
order
.
BEholde
here
the
forme
of
the
Checker
or
Cheastbourde
,
and
how
the
Cheastmen
ought
to
be
placed
in
euery
house
,
wherof
there
are
sixtie
foure
in
all
.
To
wit
,
thirtie
two
on
either
halfe
or
syde
,
whereof
the
eight
vttermost
opposites
(
or
one
against
another
)
are
ful
of
principall
pieces
on
both
sydes
.
The
other
eight
also
nexte
them
on
both
sides
are
full
of
Pawnes
.
So
that
there
are
thirtie
two
pieces
,
whyche
is
to
eche
player
sixtene
,
whereof
there
be
eight
greate
ones
and
eight
litle
ones
.
And
the
rowmes
where
euery
one
of
them
are
set
,
I
wyll
name
Seates
:
the
other
which
be
emptie
,
I
will
name
them
places
or
houses
indifferently
.
Thorough
the
which
,
(
aswel
Seates
as
places
,
)
the
greate
Cheastmen
and
smal
doe
runne
accordinge
to
their
order
,
be
it
in
aduancinge
or
reculinge
,
for
to
geue
the
mate
to
the
contrary
King
.
For
to
be
able
to
tel
you
why
there
is
so
many
houses
,
and
why
there
is
neither
mo
nor
lesse
,
that
passeth
my
intelligence
.
Neither
hath
any
man
spoken
of
it
.
And
I
beleue
that
there
wyll
bee
founde
none
other
resolution
but
onely
the
wil
of
hym
that
made
the
playe
,
of
whome
there
are
dyuers
opinions
.
Some
saye
that
it
was
Yerses
:
and
yet
the
Spaniardes
do
retaine
the
name
Aredres
,
albeit
corrupted
by
the
mutation
of
s
into
d
set
before
r.
Other
some
saye
that
they
were
two
brethren
:
The
one
named
●idie
,
and
the
other
Tirrhene
,
who
beinge
afflicted
with
great
hunger
and
famine
did
inuent
this
playe
,
to
the
ende
that
in
playinge
of
it
,
they
mighte
employe
their
spirites
so
behementlye
,
that
they
myghte
more
easely
passe
the
faminall
affliction
.
And
in
deede
they
passed
the
tyme
so
well
,
that
they
made
but
three
meales
in
twoo
dayes
.
Generall
rules
.
YOU
muste
playe
no
caste
(
or
draughte
)
in
vayne
,
if
it
be
not
for
necessitie
.
You
muste
make
not
faulte
.
You
must
not
be
to
hastie
to
play
.
Yf
you
haue
a
good
draughte
to
make
,
looke
if
there
be
not
a
better
.
Yf
you
haue
aduauntage
,
you
may
well
make
a
chaunge
,
and
yet
not
loose
it
.
Yf
you
haue
aduauntage
,
wherewith
you
may
wyn
the
game
,
take
good
heede
for
vndoing
your
game
,
nor
to
abandone
your
king
,
for
to
winne
only
a
paune
.
The
principall
thinge
that
you
haue
to
doe
,
is
to
set
your
king
in
a
sure
place
,
when
he
marcheth
forthe
.
The
two
Paunes
whiche
bee
on
that
syde
where
the
kinge
is
transported
,
oughte
not
to
be
remoued
,
but
in
great
necessitie
:
for
that
,
that
often
tymes
the
game
is
lost
by
remouinge
the
Rookes
Paune
or
knightes
Paune
one
roume
,
because
that
not
there
the
contrarye
Kyng
findeth
the
way
of
the
mate
.
You
muste
goe
abrode
wyth
your
pieces
,
and
not
keepe
them
enclosed
.
It
is
good
that
the
two
Paunes
of
the
King
and
of
the
Queene
be
vpon
their
fourth
houses
:
Yea
,
also
those
of
the
Bishopps
.
It
is
to
be
noted
,
for
the
wel
vnderstanding
of
the
marching
for
the
of
the
Cheastmen
,
that
the
cheastbourd
ought
to
be
set
in
such
sorte
,
that
the
Rooke
on
the
right
side
be
set
in
a
white
place
,
&
take
the
cheast
men
which
you
wil
,
white
or
black
.
Further
,
you
must
know
the
name
of
the
pieces
&
of
the
houses
&
places
:
for
the
cheastmen
which
are
of
the
kings
syde
,
bee
named
the
Kings
Cheastmen
,
and
lykewyse
the
Kings
houses
,
vnto
the
middest
of
the
Cheastbourd
:
Because
that
from
thence
forwarde
,
those
are
the
contrarye
Kyngs
houses
.
As
for
example
,
the
Paune
whiche
is
before
thy
King
,
is
in
the
seconde
house
of
thy
King
:
and
if
thou
remoue
him
one
steppe
,
he
shal
be
in
the
thyrd
,
or
if
he
go
as
far
as
he
may
,
he
shal
be
in
the
fourth
house
of
thy
King
:
but
afterwardes
if
he
passe
further
,
he
shal
be
in
the
fourth
house
of
the
king
of
thy
contrary
partye
.
And
so
it
is
of
all
the
other
Cheastmen
of
that
syde
.
The
other
syde
is
that
of
the
quene
aswel
in
cheastmen
as
in
houses
:
for
this
cause
it
is
nedefull
to
haue
before
you
a
Cheastbourde
with
the
Cheastmen
,
for
to
see
with
youre
eye
the
art
which
shal
be
declared
in
this
present
treatise
.
And
after
hauynge
presupposed
the
game
you
may
beginne
after
two
sortes
.
The
seconde
Chapter
.
THE
first
maner
is
to
beginne
with
the
Kinges
Paune
.
And
the
seconde
is
to
beginne
with
the
Queenes
Paune
.
The
first
(
accordinge
to
my
iudgement
)
is
best
.
That
is
to
wit
,
to
begin
with
the
Kings
Paune
,
as
far
as
he
may
go
.
(
I
will
cause
thee
alwayes
to
holde
the
whyte
part
.
)
And
if
thy
contrary
partie
play
his
Kings
Paune
as
farre
as
he
maye
,
thou
shalt
playe
thy
kings
Knight
to
three
houses
from
the
kinges
bishoppe
.
And
if
he
play
his
kings
knight
to
thre
houses
from
his
kings
bishop
,
thou
shalt
take
with
thy
knight
his
kinges
Paune
,
&
if
he
take
also
thy
paune
with
his
knight
,
playe
thy
queene
before
thy
king
.
And
if
he
retyre
his
knight
into
the
thirde
house
of
his
kinges
bishop
,
thou
shalt
geue
him
checke
with
thy
quene
,
in
turning
her
away
from
thy
knight
the
whiche
the
shalt
remoue
into
the
thirde
house
of
his
queenes
bishop
.
And
he
can
not
play
so
wel
but
that
he
shall
lose
his
quene
.
If
in
steede
of
takinge
thy
Paune
with
his
knight
,
he
take
it
with
his
quene
,
thou
shalt
take
his
with
thine
,
whiche
afterwarde
shall
be
taken
with
his
knight
.
This
done
,
thou
shalt
geue
him
check
with
thy
knight
in
taking
the
Paune
of
his
quenes
bishop
,
and
therefore
he
shal
be
forced
to
loose
his
queenes
Rooke
.
And
if
he
take
not
thy
Paune
,
but
(
to
saue
his
queene
)
placeth
her
in
This
5
table
foloweth
the
play
thre
marked
A.
2.
the
thirde
house
of
his
queenes
bishoppe
.
And
if
he
remoue
not
his
Knight
,
but
play
his
quene
before
his
king
,
thou
shalt
take
his
knight
with
thy
Quene
:
then
he
wyl
play
his
Quenes
Paune
one
roume
against
thy
Knight
,
to
the
ende
that
if
thou
remoue
it
from
thence
,
he
maye
take
thy
Queene
.
For
this
cause
thou
shalt
playe
thy
Queenes
Paune
as
farre
as
he
may
go
,
and
if
he
playe
the
Paune
of
his
Kings
bishop
one
steppe
,
thou
shalt
play
the
paune
of
thy
kings
bishop
as
far
as
he
maye
go
,
&
if
he
take
thy
knight

Then
remoue

How

WHEN
the

of

,
it
is
the
custome
to
take
awaye
that
of
the

,
because
that
it
is
the
best
:
then
if

as

thou

also
that

as

And
if

thou

Paune
with

checke
,
whereof
he
wyll

,
and
thyne

And
if

by
the
discouerye
of

whiche
he
wyll

thou

And

Paune
,
and
hys
Knighte
can
not

,
so
shall
he
loose
the
game
:
for
thou
haste
the
greater
aduauntage
if
thou

well
.
But
if
in
