<TITLE NEW CHARACTERS>
<SN WRITTEN BY SIR THOMAS OVERBURIE.>
<SN A A WORTHY COMMANDER IN THE WARRES>
IS ONE THAT ACCOUNTS LEARNING THE NOURISHMENT OF MILITARIE VERTUE,AND
LAIES THAT AS HIS FIRST FOUNDATION. HE NEVER BLOUDIES HIS SWORD BUT
IN HEATE OF BATTAILE; AND HAD RATHER SAVE ONE OF HIS OWNE SOULDIERS,
THEN KILL TENNE OF HIS ENEMIES. HE ACCOUNTS IT AN IDLE,VAINE-GLORIOUS,
& SUSPECTED BOUNTY,TO BE FUL OF GOOD WORDS;HIS REWARDING THEREFORE OF
THE DESERVER ARRIVES SO TIMELY,THAT HIS LIBERALITIE CAN NEVER BEE SAID TO
BEE GOUTY-HANDED. HE HOLDS IT NEXT HIS CREED,THAT NO COWARD CAN BE
AN HONEST MAN,AND DARE DIE IN'T. HE DOTH NOT THINKE HIS BODY YEELDES
A MORE SPREADING SHADOW AFTER A VICTORY THEN BEFORE;AND WHEN HE LOOKES
UPON HIS ENEMIES DEAD BODIE,TIS WITH A KINDE OF NOBLE HEAVINESSE,NOT
INSULTATION; HEE IS SO HONOURABLY MERCIFULL TO WOMEN IN SURPRISALL,THAT
ONELY THAT MAKES HIM AN EXCELLENT COURTIER, HE KNOWES,THE HAZARDS OF
BATTELS,NOT THE POMPE OF CEREMONIES ARE SOULDIERS BEST THE . . .
