of the Ming Dynasty, setting forth clearly certain laws and
regulations.

on the same level. If any man of peculiar ability and education
has any suggestions to make relating to governing the Army, he
sahll be treated with exceptional politeness. Even when the
gentry or the common people have anything to petition about
