And therefore thoughe they do daylie practise and exer-
cise themselves in the discipline of warre, and not onelie the
men, but also the women upon certen appointed daies, lest they
should be to seke in the feate of armes, if nede should require,
yet they never go to battell, but either in the defence of their
owne countrey, or to drive out of their frendes lande the ene-
mies that have invaded it, or by their power to deliver from the
yocke and bondage of tirannye some people, that be therewith
oppressed. Which thing they do of meere pitie and compas-
sion."
