It sufficeth not to the strength of the armes to have flesh, blood
and bones, unless they have also sinewes, to stretch out and pull in

warres, we may conclude, that whosoever prepareth for warre must
first be provided of MONEY, the Sinewes thereof."-(Ward's “ An-
imadversions of Warre." London, 1639.)
