Whosoever gains
a prize is bound to wear it (if it be his lot) upon service; and
no man shall sell or give away any armor thus won, except he has
lawfully attained to two or more of them at the games.
"The games being ended, and the muster dismissed, the captain
of the troop or company shall repair with a copy of the list to
the lord lieutenant of the tribe, and the high constable with a
duplicate of the same to the custos rotulorum, or muster-master
general, to be also communicated to the censors; in each of which
the jurymen, giving a note upon every name of an only son, shall
certify the list is without subterfuge or evasion; or, if it be
not, an account of those upon whom the evasion or subterfuge
lies, to the end that the phylarch or the censors may animadvert
accordingly.
"And every Wednesday next ensuing the last of February, the
lord lieutenant, custos rotulorum, the censors, and the
conductor, shall receive the whole muster of the youth of that
tribe at the rendezvous of the same, distributing the horse and
foot with their officers, according to the directions given in
the like case for the distribution of the elders; and the whole
squadron being put by that means in battalia, the second game of
this commonwealth shall begin by the exercise of the youth in all
the parts of their military discipline according to the orders of
Parliament, or direction of the Council of War in that case.
