i_o have_v here_o set_v down_o word_n of_o command_n to_o make_v every_o man_n a_o file-leader_n both_o by_o succession_n and_o dignity_n a_o commander_n be_v not_o thereby_o tie_v up_o but_o may_v if_o he_o please_v practise_v the_o same_o upon_o a_o whole_a company_n alter_v but_o a_o little_a some_o word_n of_o command_n as_o for_o example_n we_o can_v say_v in_o a_o file_n double_v your_o

two_o to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a which_o in_o a_o company_n must_v be_v express_v rank_n to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a double_a thus_o you_o see_v with_o a_o little_a alteration_n every_o man_n

must_v crave_v pardon_n to_o speak_v something_o in_o commendation_n of_o these_o doubling_n in_o answer_n to_o they_o that_o account_v they_o but_o toy_n to_o who_o i_o will_v be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o ignorance_n they_o so_o slight_o esteem_v of_o they_o for_o be_v they_o true_o know_v in_o the_o art_n of_o drilling_n they_o must_v of_o
