This will give me fifty good men, and true, and I hope that each will be able to bring with him one, two, or more men, in proportion to the size of his holding.

I shall myself bear the expense of the arms and outfit of all these; but we must not strip the land of hands.

Farming must still go on, for people must feed, even if there be war.

As to the rents, we must waive our agreements while the war lasts.

Each man will pay me what proportion of his rent he is able, and no more.
