<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 . . .
