"I speake not against Maisters of Defence indeed, they are to be honoured, nor against the Science, it is noble, and in mine opinion to be preferred next to Divinitie; for as Divinitie preserveth the soule from hell and the diuell, so doth this noble Science defend the bodie from wounds & slaughter.

And moreover, the exercising of weapons putteth away aches, griefes, and diseases, it increaseth strength, and sharpneth the wits. It giveth a perfect judgement, it expelleth melancholy, cholericke and evill conceits, it keepeth a man in breath, perfect health, and long life.

It is unto him that hath the perfection thereof, a most friendly and comfortable companion when he is alone, having but only his weapon about him. It putteth him out of feare, & in the warres and places of most danger, it maketh him bold, hardie and valiant."

-George Silver, 16th C English Sword Master
