[The King's gentleness towards his white Soldiers.] As may appear from a Company of White Soldiers he hath, who upon their Watch used to be very negligent, one lying Drunk here and another there.

Which remisness in his own Soldiers he would scarce have indured, but it would have cost them their lives.

But with these he useth more Craft than Severity to make them more watchful.
[They watch at his Magazine.] These Soldiers are under two Captains, the one a Dutch man and the other a Portugueze.

They are appointed to Guard one of the King's Magazines, where they always keep Sentinel both by Day and Night.

This is a pretty good distance from the Court, and here it was the King contrived their Station, that they might swear and swagger out of his hearing, and that no body might disturb them, nor they no body.
