      sparingly with any auxiliary troops�此�for they are so tender of 


      their own people�察�that they would not willingly exchange one of 


      them�察�even with the prince of their enemies' country。





      But as they keep their gold and silver only for such an occasion�察�


      so when that offers itself they easily part with it�察�since it 


      would be no inconvenience to them though they should reserve 


      nothing of it to themselves。 For besides the wealth that they have 


      among them at home�察�they have a vast treasure abroad�察�many nations 


      round about them being deep in their debt�此�so that they hire 


      soldiers from all places for carrying on their wars�察�but chiefly 


      from the Zapolets�察�who live 500 miles east of Utopia。 They are a 


      rude�察�wild�察�and fierce nation�察�who delight in the woods and rocks�察�


      among which they were born and bred up。 They are hardened both 


      against heat�察�cold�察�and labor�察�and know nothing of the delicacies 


      of life。 They do not apply themselves to agriculture�察�nor do they 


      care either for their houses or their clothes。 Cattle is all that 


      they look after�察�and for the greatest part they live either by 


      hunting�察�or upon rapine�察�and are made�察�as it were�察�only for war。 


      They watch all opportunities of engaging in it�察�and very readily 


      embrace such as are offered them。 Great numbers of them will 


      frequently go out�察�and offer themselves for a very low pay�察�to 


      serve any that will employ them�此�they know none of the arts of 


      life�察�but those that lead to the taking it away�察�they serve those 


      that hire them�察�both with much courage and great fidelity�察�but 


      will not engage to serve for any determined time�察�and agree upon 


      such terms�察�that the next day they may go over to the enemies of 


      those whom they serve�察�if they offer them a greater encouragement�此�


      and will perhaps return to them the day after that�察�upon a higher 


      advance of their pay。





      There are few wars in which they make not a considerable part of 


      the armies of both sides�此�so it often falls out that they who are 


      related�察�and were hired in the same country�察�and so have lived 


      long and familiarly together�察�forgetting both their relations and 


      former friendship�察�kill one another upon no other consideration 


      than that of being hired to it for a little money�察�by princes of 


      different interests�察�and such a regard have they for money�察�that 


      they are easily wrought on by the difference of one penny a day to 


      change sides。 So entirely does their avarice influence them�察�and 


      yet this money�察�which they value so highly�察�is of little use to 


      them�察�for what they purchase thus with their blood�察�they quickly 


      waste on luxury�察�which among them is but of a poor and miserable 


      form。





      This nation serves the Utopians against all people whatsoever�察�for 


      they pay higher than any other。 The Utopians hold this for a 


      maxim�察�that as they seek out the best sort of men for their own 


      use at home�察�so they make use of this worst sort of men for the 


      consumption of war�察�and therefore they hire them with the offers 


      of vast rewards�察�to expose themselves to all sorts of hazards�察�out 


      of which the greater part never returns to claim their promises。 


      Yet they make them good most religiously to such as escape。 This 


      animates them to adventure again�察�whenever there is occasion for 


      it�察�for the Utopians are not at all troubled how many of these 


      happen to be killed�察�and reckon it a service done to mankind if 


      they could be a means to deliver the world from such a lewd and 


      vicious sort of people�察�that seem to have run together as to the 


      drain of human nature。 Next to these they are served in their wars 


      with those upon whose account they undertake them�察�and with the 


      auxiliary troops of their other friends�察�to whom they join a few 


      of their own people�察�and send some men of eminent and approved 


      virtue to command in chief。 There are two sent with him�察�who 


      during his command are but private men�察�but the first is to 


      succeed him if he should happen to be either killed or taken�察�and 


      in case of the like misfortune to him�察�the third comes in his 


      place�察�and thus they provide against ill events�察�that such 


      accidents as may befall their generals may not endanger their 


      armies。





      When they draw out troops of their own people�察�they take such out 


      of every city as freely offer themselves�察�for none are forced to 


      go against their wills�察�since they think that if any man is 


      pressed that wants courage�察�he will not only act faintly�察�but by 


      his cowardice dishearten others。 But if an invasion is made on 


      their country they make use of such men�察�if they have good bodies�察�


      though they are not brave�察�and either put them aboard their ships 


      or place them on the walls of their towns�察�that being so posted 


      they may find no opportunity of flying away�察�and thus either 


      shame�察�the heat of action�察�or the impossibility of flying�察�bears 


      down their cowardice�察�they often make a virtue of necessity and 


      behave themselves well�察�because nothing else is left them。 But as 


      they force no man to go into any foreign war against his will�察�so 


      they do not hinder those women who are willing to go along with 


      their husbands�察�on the contrary�察�they encourage and praise them�察�


      and they stand often next their husbands in the front of the army。 


      They also place together those who are related�察�parents and 


      children�察�kindred�察�and those that are mutually allied�察�near one 


      another�察�that those whom nature has inspired with the greatest 


      zeal for assisting one another�察�may be the nearest and readiest to 


      do it�察�and it is matter of great reproach if husband or wife 


      survive one another�察�or if a child survives his parents�察�and 


      therefore when they come to be engaged in action they continue to 


      fight to the last man�察�if their enemies stand before them。





      And as they use all prudent methods to avoid the endangering their 


      own men�察�and if it is possible let all the action and danger fall 


      upon the troops that they hire�察�so if it becomes necessary for 


      themselves to engage�察�they then charge with as much courage as 


      they avoided it before with prudence�此�nor is it a fierce charge at 


      first�察�but it increases by degrees�察�and as they continue in 


      action�察�they grow more obstinate and press harder upon the enemy�察�


      insomuch that they will much sooner die than give ground�察�for the 


      certainty that their children will be well looked after when they 


      are dead�察�frees them from all that anxiety concerning them which 


      often masters men of great courage�察�and thus they are animated by 


      a noble and invincible resolution。 Their skill in military affairs 


      increases their courage�察�and the wise sentiments which�察�according 


      to the laws of their country�察�are instilled into them in their 


      education�察�give additional vigor to their minds�此�for as they do 


      not undervalue life so as prodigally to throw it away�察�they are 


      not so indecently fond of it as to preserve it by base and 


      unbecoming methods。 In the greatest heat of action�察�the bravest of 


      their youth�察�who have devoted themselves to that service�察�single 


      out the general of their enemies�察�set on him either openly or by 


      ambuscade�察�pursue him everywhere�察�and when spent and wearied out�察�


      are relieved by others�察�who never give over the pursuit�察�either 


      attacking him with close weapons when they can get near him�察�or 


      with those which wound at a distance�察�when others get in between 


      them�察�so that unless he secures himself by flight�察�they seldom 


      fail at last to kill or to take him prisoner。





      When they have obtained a victory�察�they kill as few as possible�察�


      and are much more bent on taking many prisoners than on killing 


      those that fly before them�察�nor do they ever let their men so 


      loose in the pursuit of their enemies�察�as not to retain an entire 


      body still in order�察�so that if they have been forced to engage 


      the last of their battalions before they could gain the day�察�they 


      will rather let their enemies all escape than pursue them�察�when 


      their own army is in disorder�察�remembering well what has often
