Note 410 — III The Sixteenth Century [1502-80] (continued 2)

Reading edition

Couto, in the Dialogo do Soldado Pratico, remarks that if a man is given a post at the age of twenty he only receives it at the age of sixty (p. 99). The soldier, who wishes ter logo em tres annos vinte mil cruzados, suggests, among other posts for himself, that of Provedor dos Defuntos: porque com qualquer destes ficarei mui bem remediado. To which the Desembargador objects: he necessario que quem houver de servir esses cargos seja letrado e visto em ambos os Direitos.
