of_o faight_a it_o be_v necessary_a to_o have_v first_o show_v how_o they_o order_v it_o to_o faight_o but_o tourn_v to_o our_o matter_n i_o say_v that_o mind_v to_o have_v the_o camp_n sure_a it_o

multitude_n of_o tree_n or_o other_o natural_a fortification_n that_o may_v defend_v they_o but_o the_o roman_n not_o so_o moche_v encamp_v safe_a through_o the_o situation_n encamp_v how_o the_o

to_o their_o discipline_n hereby_o grow_v that_o the_o roman_n may_v keep_v always_o one_o form_n of_o encamp_v for_o that_o they_o will_v that_o the_o situation_n shall_v be_v rule_v by_o they_o not_o they_o by_o the_o situation_n the_o which_o the_o greek_n can_v not_o observe_v for_o that_o be_v rule_v by_o the_o situation_n and_o vari_v the_o situation_n and_o form_n it_o be_v

supply_v thesame_a with_o art_n and_o with_o industry_n and_o for_o that_o i_o in_o this_o my_o declaration_n have_v will_v to_o imitate_v the_o roman_n i_o will_v not_o depart_v from_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o encamp_a yet_o not_o observe_v altogether_o their_o order_n but_o take_v thesame_a part_n which_o seem_v unto_o i_o to_o be_v meet_a for_o this_o present_a tyme._n i_o have_v tell_v you_o many_o time_n how_o the_o roman_n have_v in_o their_o consul_n army_n two_o legion_n of_o roman_a man_n which_o be_v about_o a_o leven_n thousand_o footman_n and_o six_o hundred_o horseman_n and_o moreover_o they_o have_v a_o other_o leven_fw-mi thousand_o footman_n send_v from_o their_o friend_n in_o their_o aid_n nor_o in_o their_o army_n they_o have_v never_o more_o soldier_n that_o be_v stranger_n than_o roman_n except_o horsemenne_n who_o they_o care_v not_o though_o they_o be_v more_o in_o number_n than_o they_o and_o in_o all_o their_o do_n they_o do_v place_v their_o legion_n in_o the_o middeste_n and_o the_o aider_n on_o the_o side_n the_o which_o manner_n they_o observe_v also_o in_o encamp_v as_o by_o yourself_o you_o may_v rede_n in_o those_o aucthoure_n that_o write_v of_o their_o act_n and_o therefore_o i_o purpose_v not_o to_o show_v you_o distinct_o how_o they_o encamp_v but_o to_o tell_v you_o only_o with_o what_o order_n i_o at_o this_o present_n will_v encamp_v my_o army_n whereby_o you_o shall_v then_o know_v what_o part_n i_o have_v take_v out_o of_o the_o roman_a manner_n you_o know_v that_o in_o stead_n of_o two_o roman_a legion_n i_o have_v

weapon_n into_o what_o name_n i_o have_v divide_v they_o you_o know_v how_o in_o order_v the_o army_n to_o march_v and_o to_o faight_o i_o have_v not_o make_v mention_v of_o other_o man_n but_o only_o

good_a not_o to_o stand_v only_o with_o two_o main_a battle_n but_o to_o bring_v together_o a_o just_a army_n make_v like_o unto_o the_o roman_n of_o two_o main_a battle_n and_o of_o as_o many_o mo_z
