They are expert Archers who can cleave the reins: The reins are in the middle of the back, he that shoots at a Butt, and hits the middle of it shoots exactly; the whole Butt is not the mark, but the White which is set (according to a Geometrical proportion) in the middle of it. He that hits the mark, hits the middle of the Butt; but he that cleaves the Pin (that's the Archers Dialect) which fastens the mark to the Butt, That's the Archer, or That's He (as they also use to speak at their sport) he wins the prize:1 An Archer may hit the man, and not his reins, but to hit his reins is skilful archery: Jobs Archers were thus cunning in their art, They compass me about, and cleave my reins asunder: That's the first.
