Articles of War of King Charles 1(1629)“The Provost must have a horse allowed him and some

soldiers to attend him and all the rest commanded to obey him and assist him, or else the Service will suffer. For he is one man and must correct many and therefore he cannot

be beloved. And he must be riding from one garrison to another, to see that the soldiers do not outrage nor scathe

about the country.”
