Contents. So late in the seventeenth century it is somewhat surprising to
find a writer of Markham's reputation advocating that the trained bands
should be supplemented by corps of bowmen, " who would doubtless cause
fear and amazement to all those that durst attempt an invasion." Not that
he would underrate
other weapons, but that such auxiliaries could be armed
at little cost, and trained without inconvenience.
