It is time to turn now to the Land forces, and see what were 

 the means of resisting an enemy in case a landing was effected on 

 the coast. There was no standing army, but every able man 

 was expected to be trained in the use of arms, and periodical 

 returns (or muster rolls as they are called) were made to the 

 Q-overnment, -^hich in the returns of Henry VIII give the 

 names of the men and their weapons for each parish. 



'^ The certificate returned by the Lieutenants of Cornwall of 

 the numbers of able men, trained and untrained, in pursuance 

 of the letters from the Council, dated April 1588, runs as 

 f oUows : —
