"A particular note (set down by the Lord Deputy and Council) of such proportion of victuals as is delivered to a soldier for the victualling of himself by the day, as such time as he is victualled out of her Majesty's store."
"The said soldier is victualled for seven days in the week, being four flesh days and three fish days, and hath given him, viz.,--"
Flesh day.--Loaf bread, 1½ lb. Beer, one pottle. Beef, salt, 2 lb.; or, instead thereof, beef, fresh, 2½ lb.; the beef being without legs and necks.
Fish day.--Loaf bread, 1½ lb. Beer, one pottle. Butter, ½ lb.; or, instead thereof, cheese, 1 lb.; or, instead thereof, herrings, 8 per diem.
Mem.--That the horseman, in regard of his boy, is allowed half as much more as the footman.
This is the ordinary allowance that her Majesty makes to the soldiers, and they are not to exceed this rate.
