d
excellent
Engines
tending
to
save
much
bloud
and
monies
in
these
times
of
Warre
.
IT
is
Gods
command
,
No
man
should
seeke
his
owne
,
but
every
man
one
anothers
wealth
.
A
sufficient
warrant
for
any
man
undertaking
in
so
seeking
:
and
whether
I
have
so
sought
and
can
doe
a
generall
good
for
this
Kingdome
,
witnesse
two
Attestations
in
this
Book
,
one
under
the
hand●
of
the
honourable
Serjant
major
Generall
Skippon
,
the
other
under
the
hands
of
five
of
the
Committee
for
the
Fortifications
of
the
City
of
London
;
the
originals
ready
to
be
produced
on
demand
.
If
any
man
should
goe
and
report
to
any
nation
or
people
,
where
Gun-pouder
is
not
knowne
,
that
they
would
cause
a
great
iron
bullet
of
ten
or
twenty
pound
weight
or
more
to
flie
a
mile
,
two
or
three
in
the
ayre
,
it
would
be
answered
it
were
unpossible
so
to
doe
;
and
also
where
printing
is
not
knowne
,
as
impossible
that
3
men
should
performe
more
in
a
legible
way
of
writing
in
one
day
then
an
hundred
men
,
and
for
that
it
is
knowne
to
us
how
it
is
done
,
we
should
slight
his
judgement
should
gain-say
it
.
And
what
more
unpossible
to
some
to
conceive
how
halfe
an
Armies
victuals
may
be
saved
,
five
parts
of
six
of
their
pay
,
all
the
money
that
should
be
laid
out
for
apparelling
of
them
(
and
the
money
that
should
be
disbursed
for
Pikes
for
halfe
an
Army
,
and
some
small
quantity
of
Armour
that
some
of
them
are
to
have
will
performe
all
this
.
)
And
this
halfe
Army
to
secure
the
other
half
Army
from
the
horse
and
from
Musket-shot
.
I
presume
this
report
would
prove
to
those
that
know
not
how
it
is
to
be
done
,
as
hard
as
Samsons
riddle
.
Gods
hand
is
not
shortened
,
he
gives
as
miraculous
blessings
(
by
means
)
to
whom
he
pleases
,
as
well
in
this
age
as
heretofore
;
therefore
let
no
man
despise
meanes
,
especially
when
the
commodity
thereby
is
greater
than
the
discommodity
,
nor
ought
any
man
ro
question
by
what
meanes
the
Lord
will
end
this
civill
Warre
in
this
Land
;
but
when
good
waies
and
meanes
shall
be
discovered
by
any
man
to
subdue
the
enemy
with
little
bloud-shed
,
may
it
not
be
said
it
is
likely
to
be
the
means
God
will
end
this
Warre
by
,
rather
than
by
equall
exposing
one
another
to
slaughter
,
and
to
resist
such
meanes
,
what
is
it
but
a
refusing
of
Gods
blessing
,
unlesse
we
have
a
command
to
the
contrary
.
It
is
not
to
be
questioned
,
but
that
the
Lord
can
do
infinite
things
if
he
please
by
his
absolute
power
,
which
he
will
not
doe
,
so
John
said
of
him
,
Mat.

But
it
is
an
actuall
or
a
working
power
which
he
executeth
in
governing
of
the
world
and
the
things
therein
;
and
it
is
one
thing
what
God
can
do
where
meanes
is
wanting
,
and
another
thing
what
he
will
do
by
the
use
of
means
.
Had
Sir
Francis
Drake
(
that
ever
renowned
Gentleman
for
his
rare
invention
by
a
fiery
Ship
)
done
as
I
have
(
for
that
I
have
not
wherwith
to
manage
my
invention
as
he
had
)
discover
his
strategem
how
he
could
destroy
those
proud
Spaniards
,
(
and
their
great
Armado
,
that
came
to
make
a
destruction
of
the
people
in
this
land
)
it
is
very
likely
his
successe
should
have
been
no
better
then
mine
,
either
in
the
discovery
thereof
,
or
dislike
by
some
that
would
have
over-powred
him
.
And
if
it
can
either
be
hoped
for
,
or
by
any
likelihood
made
to
appeare
,
that
this
Warre
should
end
this
Summer
by
a
better
way
then
by
such
meanes
as
it
expressed
in
the
Propositions
,
than
ought
this
way
to
be
slighted
,
if
a
better
is
not
knowne
,
good
reason
this
way
and
such
like
should
be
accepted
of
.
If
it
should
be
reckoned
how
many
discommodities
belongs
to
great
peeces
of
Ordnance
,
in
respect
of
the
benefit
comes
thereby
,
it
would
discourage
men
to
use
them
in
field
fights
:
First
in
respect
of
the
great
charge
of
the
peece
,
his
carriage
,
and
the
horses
to
draw
them
.
Secondly
,
the
charge
of
pouder
and
bullet
at
one
shot
.
Thirdly
,
the
men
to
traverse
them
.
Fourthly
,
the
slow
marching
of
them
.
Fiftly
,
if
weather
be
foule
a
day
or
two
,
they
many
times
are
lodged
,
which
cause
the
stay
of
the
Army
,
all
which
may
be
helpt
,
as
the
Propositions
(
following
)
declares
.
I
will
referre
such
as
speake
against
meanes
,
to
the
first
of
Judges
19.
v.
how
the
enemies
of
God
kept
their
habitation
in
the
valley
,
because
they
had
chariots
of
Iron
,
but
they
were
driven
out
of
the
mountaines
(
by
the
children
of
Israel
)
where
they
had
no
such
fence
,
not
but
that
God
could
have
driven
them
from
thence
:
But
the
Lord
did
not
alwaies
in
a
miraculous
manner
destroy
his
enemies
,
but
by
meanes
suffered
them
to
save
themselves
as
the
Canaanites
did
with
chariots
of
iron
.
To
teach
us
in
humane
things
to
look
to
the
means
▪
if
not
,
what
need
men
plow
,
but
cast
their
corne
upon
the
ground
,
and
though
God
gives
the
increase
he
will
not
give
it
in
the
worst
way
,
nor
will
any
wise
man
so
presume
,
than
certainly
if
we
use
the
best
meanes
to
save
mens
lives
,
we
may
expect
the
better
successe
.
And
if
to
feed
men
to
maintaine
life
we
use
the
best
way
,
though
troublesome
to
man
and
horse
,
why
should
we
not
use
the
best
meanes
to
save
the
lives
of
men
.
The
shallower
the
corne
is
sowne
the
worse
will
it
be
for
the
husband-man
.
So
likewise
the
more
unprovided
a
Generall
goeth
to
the
wars
,
the
worser
will
his
successe
be
,
if
any
feare
it
not
,
let
them
go
with
clubs
and
swords
,
so
shall
much
mony
be
saved
,
but
I
believe
we
shall
find
none
so
hardy
,
but
if
those
that
withstandeth
means
were
themselves
exposed
to
the
warre
,
they
would
be
glad
of
means
to
keepe
them
from
the
horse
,
and
to
be
secured
from
musket-shot
.
The
use
of
meanes
is
not
hurtfull
nor
offends
God
,
when
it
tends
to
good
,
but
the
use
of
meanes
may
be
said
to
be
hurtfull
,
when
we
use
it
against
Gods
command
,
or
when
we
put
too
much
carnall
confidence
therein
,
as
the
Israelites
did
in
the
Arke
,
when
they
carried
it
to
the
battle
,
trusting
more
therein
then
they
did
in
God
,
which
caused
the
Lord
to
give
both
them
and
it
into
the
hands
of
their
enemies
for
their
vain
confidence
,
but
to
use
lawfull
means
with
prayer
and
a
trust
in
God
for
a
good
successe
,
I
presume
it
is
lawfull
.
Let
me
use
the
freedome
to
declare
by
these
presents
,
that
I
have
been
very
strongly
opposed
(
by
some
)
for
above
this
two
yeares
,
that
not
any
thing
I
can
doe
for
the
good
of
the
State
takes
successe
.
And
if
it
were
required
,
why
I
should
be
so
maliced
,
they
that
do
so
or
are
the
Authours
therof
can
shew
no
just
cause
,
unlesse
my
seeking
for
the
good
of
the
State
be
the
cause
,
or
the
good
service
my
late
father
did
,
who
had
a
place
under
the
great
Seale
of
England
to
seise
on
part
of
the
Papists
estates
,
to
the
use
of
the
Crowne
,
if
they
would
not
be
conformable
to
the
laws
of
the
land
,
or
in
suing
in
the
right
of
the
Crown
and
for
my
owne
due
kept
from
me
by
powerfull
hands
.
Or
for
what
my
late
brother
did
(
to
the
late
Duke
of
Buckingham
)
who
was
willing
to
loose
his
life
for
the
Kingdomes
good
,
or
in
respect
of
my
adversarie
Sir
Henry
Spiller
knight
,
against
whom
I
have
bin
in
suites
more
then
this
twenty
yeares
in
the
right
of
the
Crowne
and
for
my
owne
due
,
being
a
great
estate
,
but
could
not
obtain
Justice
against
my
adversary
,
so
powerfull
he
was
in
friends
and
purse
,
by
whose
wicked
doings
my
late
father
and
my self
have
been
ruin'd
:
or
for
that
some
feares
by
these
Engines
the
warrs
will
too
soon
be
made
an
end
of
.
For
some
of
these
causes
or
the
like
,
it
is
certaine
I
am
by
some
both
privately
opposed
and
fore-stalled
from
doing
that
good
I
can
for
the
State
,
who
by
themselves
or
their
Instruments
,
run
about
the
City
to
disgrace
me
and
my
undertakings
for
the
Kingdomes
good
,
but
to
my
face
they
will
not
so
vent
their
malice
:
and
if
such
were
not
guided
more
by
spleen
and
malice
than
by
the
Word
of
God
,
they
would
tremble
at
the
reward
the
Lord
threatens
slanderers
with
,
Rev.
22.

But
would
it
please
the
right
Honourable
the
House
of
Commons
to
heare
my
opposers
against
me
,
and
what
they
can
say
,
and
heare
me
to
cleare
my self
,
and
for
what
I
can
doe
for
the
Kingdomes
good
,
they
will
choose
rather
to
be
absent
than
present
,
than
what
beliefe
is
to
be
given
to
slanderers
and
depravers
of
a
man
behind
his
backe
.
One
asked
Trajan
the
Emperour
how
he
made
so
good
choice
of
Councellors
and
friends
,
he
replied
that
his
good
hap
came
hereof
,
that
he
choose
them
neither
covetous
men
,
nor
liars
,
for
they
in
whom
covetousnes
and
lying
ha●h
any
place
,
cannot
love
perfectly
,
and
where
there
is
not
true
love
for
a
States
good
,
there
must
needs
be
dissimulation
,
from
such
both
in
Church
and
Common-wealth
it
shall
be
my
prayer
to
the
Lord
to
be
delivered
from
.
And
when
men
that
can
doe
good
service
for
the
State
,
shall
be
slighted
and
neglected
,
what
is
it
but
to
discourage
men
to
be
acting
for
the
Kingdomes
good
and
encourage
men
to
fawning
and
flattery
;
I
have
not
sought
as
many
have
for
their
owne
ends
,
my
chiefest
seeking
(
as
it
is
generally
known
)
was
to
have
my
first
Engine
accepted
of
,
to
helpe
the
English
in
Ireland
,
and
to
have
the
other
accepted
of
here
,
for
the
quieting
of
the
State
,
and
saving
of
mens
lives
,
to
which
some
things
of
great
consequence
may
be
added
.
And
for
thus
endeavouring
the
States
good
,
I
have
spent
my selfe
out
of
means
and
am
much
in
debt
.
And
were
these
Engines
put
in
practise
(
in
such
waies
it
hath
pleased
God
to
give
me
knowledge
of
)
and
that
I
may
have
the
ordering
of
the●
,
I
trust
in
the
Lord
they
will
prove
successefull
for
the
good
of
the
King
and
Kingdom
.
I
confesse
it
had
been
fitter
this
businesse
should
have
bin
carried
in
a
privater
way
,
and
that
it
might
have
so
been
,
I
have
l●ft
no
meanes
unattempted
and
seeing
I
cannot
by
any
means
attaine
it
,
is
the
cause
I
thus
publish
it
,
to
encourage
all
men
who
are
well
affected
for
the
States
good
to
be
furtherers
hereof
;
and
that
I
can
doe
other
good
service
were
I
enabled
,
some
Gentlemen
of
knowne
and
approved
fidelity
can
certifie
,
if
requested
,
who
refused
not
to
give
their
oath
for
secrecy
,
which
I
could
not
obtaine
of
others
,
and
if
men
in
such
a
businesse
and
of
so
great
concernment
for
the
Kingdome●
,
feare
to
trust
themselves
,
I
see
no
cause
why
I
should
trust
them
.
My
trust
hath
already
bin
too
much
abused
,
for
one
Young
a
Carpenter
near
Cripple-gate
,
(
lately
deceased
)
hearing
I
could
make
the
Engine
expressed
in
my
Propositions
,
desired
a
friend
of
his
to
bring
him
acquainted
with
me
,
which
he
did
,
and
when
J
had
told
him
J
had
caused
an
Engine
to
be
made
to
keepe
the
foot
from
the
horse
,
and
also
from
musket-shot
,
which
said
Engine
some
of
the
City
Commanders
had
seen
,
yet
would
he
not
believe
such
an
Engine
could
be
made
,
till
he
went
to
Major
Generall
Browne
,
who
certified
him
he
had
seen
the
Engine
that
would
keep
the
foot
from
the
horse
;
and
before
J
would
tell
him
how
it
was
to
be
made
,
J
enjoyned
him
to
secrecy
(
for
that
▪
J
discovered
somewhat
more
to
him
then
formerly
J
had
)
who
most
deceitfully
in
my
absence
makes
three
of
the
Engines
(
but
knew
not
how
to
make
the
breast-worke
)
brings
them
publikely
through
the
streets
to
his
Excellencies
house
the
Earle
of
Essex
,
and
there
as
publikely
were
they
seen
in
the
first
Court
.
This
man
presently
after
(
as
J
was
told
)
was
made
Captaine
of
the
Engineers
,
and
J
the
inventer
slighted
.
His
neighbours
in
Ship-yard
by
Cripple-gate
,
knows
I
was
every
day
for
a
fortnight
with
him
,
giving
him
▪
directions
to
make
the
said
Engine
,
which
he
could
not
do
,
but
in
my
absence
got
better
work-men
than
himself
to
make
the
above
said
Engines
;
and
the
said
Carpenter
told
one
Mr
Daulman
,
one
of
the
Common-councell
,
he
had
instructions
from
me
to
make
the
Engine
,
and
so
Mr
Daulman
told
a
friend
of
mine
.
Which
said
Engine
shortly
after
was
made
at
Oxford
,
but
not
in
so
good
a
way
as
this
is
,
nor
so
marchable
with
men
,
nor
had
they
breast-works
but
of
boards
and
iron
plates
(
which
mine
have
not
)
against
which
should
a
bullet
be
shot
out
of
a
peece
of
Ordnance
,
and
hit
that
breast-worke
,
the
splinters
of
the
wood
and
iron
,
would
do
farre
more
hurt
than
the
bullet
.
There
was
about
20
of
the
said
Engines
made
at
Oxford
,
and
from
thence
carried
to
Gloster
to
go
up
to
the
wals
:
And
had
not
his
Excellency
the
Earle
of
Essex
so
happily
arrived
to
raise
that
siege
(
as
he
did
)
it
was
reported
by
some
of
the
Army
,
the
City
was
in
great
feare
to
be
taken
thereby
,
most
of
which
said
Engines
the
besiegers
burnt
,
because
they
should
not
be
taken
.
And
this
is
the
benefit
comes
by
publishing
good
inventions
,
which
ought
to
be
kept
with
all
secrecy
,
which
I
alwaies
desired
,
for
the
prevention
of
which
J
could
wish
there
were
a
Committee
,
of
approoved
skill
and
honesty
to
take
oath
of
secrecy
not
to
discover
any
rare
invention
,
and
tide
by
the
said
oath
to
deliver
the
truth
of
their
knowledge
,
what
they
conceive
thereof
,
so
shall
good
inventions
,
not
only
be
kept
secret
for
the
good
of
the
State
,
and
men
encouraged
in
their
undertakings
,
if
recompenced
for
their
pains
and
charges
,
as
J
have
heard
the
custom
is
in
the
State
of
Venice
.
There
is
(
J
here
)
now
again
some
few
breast-works
made
in
this
City
by
a
Commander
to
go
upon
service
,
which
will
do
a
hundred
times
more
mischief
(
in
the
discovery
)
than
good
,
when
any
man
intends
to
repair
a
great
house
,
that
is
almost
ruin'd
,
he
will
not
go
to
repair
it
with
a
few
men
,
least
it
fall
to
the
ground
in
the
repairing
,
much
lesse
can
a
kingdom
be
brought
to
a
settlement
that
is
divided
by
warre
by
small
and
weake
means
,
or
by
a
few
Engines
be
they
never
so
excellent
,
but
by
extraordinary
good
means
,
if
well
followed
it
may
,
then
why
should
a
little
hinder
what
much
may
effect
.
I
could
have
much
more
enlarged
my selfe
in
way
of
just
complaints
,
or
most
forcible
inducements
to
ingratiate
my
service
and
endeavours
,
but
these
times
rather
require
actions
then
discoursings
,
the
summe
of
which
action
is
thus
contracted
in
the
following
Propositions
.
Propositions
of
Edmond
Felton
,
Gentleman
,
WHo
hath
invented
and
made
an
Engine
for
warre
,
which
will
keep
the
horse
from
the
foot
,
and
secure
the
Musketeers
from
all
shot
but
of
Ordnance
,
and
much
secure
them
from
small
shot
out
of
Ordnance
,
and
it
's
ten
to
one
a
shot
out
of
a
peece
of
Ordnance
hits
the
said
Engine
,
two
Engines
supplies
the
place
of
a
100.
Pike-men
,
taking
up
7
or
10
yards
in
length
,
and
will
also
go
in
as
narrow
a
pla●●
as
a
Coach
(
as
occasion
serves
)
and
in
fair
waies
two
men
may
manage
one
Engine
at
pleasure
,
if
otherwise
foure
or
six
Musketteers
may
lay
their
Muskets
on
the
Engine
and
run
it
before
them
with
more
ease
than
to
carry
their
Muskets
,
and
thus
may
their
fellow-souldiers
ease
them
every
houre
or
halfe
houre
,
twenty
of
the
said
Engins
supplie
the
place
of
a
thousand
Pike-men
,
whose
pay
with
the
Officers
is
above
400
pound
a
week
,
hereby
would
be
saved
all
the
mony
should
be
laid
for
apparrelling
of
those
souldiers
,
there
will
likewise
be
saved
five
parts
of
six
of
their
pay
,
and
the
first
weeks
pay
those
one
▪
thousand
Souldiers
with
their
Officers
are
to
have
,
will
make
the
said
twenty
Engines
,
then
is
there
also
saved
all
the
Arms
a
Regiment
of
Pike-men
are
to
have
,
which
will
be
some
hundred
pounds
,
and
the
sixt
part
of
the
pay
those
souldiers
are
to
have
will
maintain
the
said
Engines
,
pay
the
men
that
shall
manage
them
,
and
wagons
to
carry
the
breast-works
of
them
,
if
so
thought
fit
,
or
provision
may
be
made
that
one
hundred
Dragooners
with
their
horses
may
draw
one
hundred
of
the
said
Engines
after
▪
them
,
if
the
waies
prove
very
bad
,
and
3
hundred
(
or
more
)
of
the
said
Engins
with
the
breast-works
may
be
made
in
a
month
or
little
more
.
One
hundred
Engins
supplies
the
place
of
five
thousand
Pike-men
,
and
takes
up
in
Front
350.
or
500.
yards
,
and
march
as
fast
as
the
Army
can
march
in
Summer
time
.
Thus
may
an
Army
in
a
short
time
be
overtaken
though
ten
or
twenty
mile
off
,
if
they
have
their
Artillery
with
them
,
and
at
what
advantage
the
pursuing
Army
shall
please
,
constraining
them
to
fight
or
fly
.
If
they
shall
bid
battle
the
odds
will
be
great
against
them
,
if
fly
than
will
their
Artillery
be
taken
.
There
may
be
made
two
running
Sconces
with
some
of
the
said
Engins
to
flanke
at
each
wing
of
the
Battalia
to
prevent
the
horse
from
wheeling
about
to
fall
upon
the
reare
,
in
each
of
which
Sconces
3.
or
400
Musketteers
may
be
placed
to
shoot
every
way
,
and
Drakes
and
other
Ordnance
may
be
securely
placed
in
the
intervails
,
and
other
good
helps
to
secure
the
Engins
that
they
cannot
be
taken
.
The
benefit
of
this
running
breast-work
are
first
,
the
souldiers
with
them
may
suddenly
intrench
themselves
;
hereby
much
mony
weekly
will
be
saved
in
Pionars
pick
Axes
,
Spades
and
Wagons
to
carry
them
.
Secondly
the
said
Engins
will
be
a
great
ease
to
the
City
and
Country
,
in
victuals
and
lodging
.
Thirdly
,
in
saving
of
mens
lives
.
Fourthly
,
these
Engines
will
encourage
faint
hearted
souldiers
to
fight
,
who
shall
not
feare
routing
by
the
Enemies
horse
.
Fiftly
the
souldiers
may
fight
hereby
,
though
much
wet
fall
,
and
also
shelter
themselves
from
great
rains
.
Sixtly
,
hereby
much
horse
may
be
saved
,
for
3000.
horse
with
8000
Musketeers
,
and
a
100
Engines
,
will
doe
better
service
then
6000
horse
and
16000
foot
without
the
said
Engines
,
which
3000
horse
shall
not
need
to
be
put
upon
service
,
but
when
the
enemies
are
routed
.
Hereby
in
horse
some
1000
pounds
weekly
may
be
saved
,
other
excellent
helps
may
be
added
to
the
said
Engins
.
And
it
is
often
seen
that
souldiers
are
fearfull
to
fight
against
the
Enemy
,
when
they
see
the
hors●men
encouraged
to
charge
resolutely
,
but
where
these
Engins
are
in
front
,
they
will
discourage
both
horse
and
foot
to
come
on
,
and
much
more
discourage
them
,
when
the
Battalia
are
flank'd
with
the
said
Engins
.
The
most
and
best
services
consists
either
to
defend
or
assaile
passages
by
water
or
by
straits
,
or
to
assaile
Towns
,
Forts
or
Fortresses
,
for
which
the
Musketteers
with
this
running
breast-worke
are
the
most
excellent
.
And
also
hereby
siege
may
be
laid
to
any
place
;
And
likewise
a
siege
raised
from
any
place
(
if
not
)
the
besiegers
in
a
short
time
(
by
the
helpe
of
the
said
Engines
)
may
be
subdued
.
The
Pike
is
counted
the
chiefest
weapon
to
defend
and
to
enter
a
breach
;
If
so
approved
on
with
naked
men
,
much
more
to
be
approved
on
with
breast-works
,
which
will
secure
the
Musketteers
from
small
shot
,
forcing
securely
on
a
breach
;
though
the
Enemies
neare
that
place
are
furnished
both
with
shot
and
short
weapons
.

Major
Generall
Skippon
saw
6
months
before
the
date
hereof

Edmond
Felton
Gent.
hath
of
late
discovered
(
unto
us
the
Committee
for
the
Fortifications
of
the
City
of
London
)
how
an
Engine
(
of
his
invention
)
will
secure
the
foot
from
the
horse
,
and
the
Souldiers
from
Musquet-shot
,
which
Engine
in
faire
wayes
two
men
may

at
pleasure
,
for
the
seeing
of
which
we
appointed
some
of
the

it
,
the
Musqueteeres
ramming
in
powder
and
bullet
in
their
Musquets
,
with
full
bandeleeres
of
powder

not
the
shot
pierce
through
the

were
appointed
did
see
,
and
so
reported
to
the
rest
of
the
Committee
