Bacon, Francis. Of Vicissitude of Things [ID D26977].
Er schreibt :
"The changes and vicissitude in wars are many; but chiefly in three things; in the seats or stages of the war; in the weapons ; and in the manner of the conduct. Wars, in ancient time, seemed more to move from east to west ; for the Persians, Assyrians, Arabians, Tartars (which were the invaders) were all eastern people."
"As for the weapons, it hardly falleth under rule and observation: yet we see even they have returns and vicissitudes. For certain it is, that ordnance was known in the city of the Oxidrakes in India; and was that which the Macedonians called thunder and lightning, and magic. And it is well known that the use of ordnance hath been in China above two thousand years. The conditions of weapons, and their improvement, are ; First, the fetching afar off ; for that outruns the danger; as it is seen in ordnance and muskets."
