"Peradventure one will show you some outward wound which he got at some
drunken fray, either halting of some privy wound festered with a filthy
fiery flankard [brand]. For be well assured that the hardiest soldiers be
either slain or maimed, either and [or if] they escape all hazards and
return home again, if they be without relief of their friends they will
surely desperately rob and steal, and either shortly be hanged or miserably
die in prison."
