the_o seargeant_n mayor_n exercise_v his_o office_n and_o afterward_o i_o will_v in_o order_n proceed_v successive_o to_o show_v the_o same_o in_o the_o other_o two_o part_n of_o his_o office_n vargas_n it_o be_v not_o long_o since_o you_o tell_v i_o what_o a_o squadron_n be_v and_o therefore_o now_o i_o pray_v you_o begin_v to_o make_v the_o squadron_n and_o set_v the_o battle_n for_o this_o be_v it_o we_o intend_v londonno_n the_o squadron_n be_v make_v of_o a_o great_a number_n of_o soldier_n more_o or_o less_o according_a to_o the_o bigness_n of_o the_o army_n or_o host_n and_o

of_o so_o many_o and_o weighty_a matter_n and_o that_o he_o be_v to_o make_v provision_n of_o so_o many_o thing_n and_o see_v that_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o vigilant_a and_o quick_a in_o oversée_v and_o discharge_v the_o one_o and_o in_o provide_v for_o the_o other_o he_o ought_v when_o he_o go_v to_o the_o field_n to_o be_v well_o provide_v of_o good_a nag_n and_o know_v that_o he_o only_o

yea_o although_o he_o go_v to_o the_o captain_n general_n to_o fetch_v the_o watchword_n and_o if_o it_o chance_v he_o be_v see_v on_o horseback_n it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o ill_a or_o

his_o charge_n require_v such_o pre-eminence_n and_o in_o the_o day_n that_o be_v appoint_v for_o the_o battle_n ought_v he_o much_o less_o to_o be_v on_o foot_n and_o place_n himself_o in_o the_o

have_v see_v many_o ignorant_a fellow_n take_v it_o in_o digeon_n how_o that_o the_o sergeant_n mayor_n ordinary_o bear_v a_o short_a stick_v something_o thick_a in_o their_o hand_n which_o serve_v

we_o show_v or_o point_n at_o any_o thing_n and_o they_o use_v also_o at_o the_o instant_n and_o present_a time_n to_o correct_v and_o punish_v the_o disobedience_n of_o some_o soldier_n with_o this_o cudgel_n which_o no_o man_n ought_v to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o or_o think_v himself_o injure_v or_o abuse_v and_o he_o be_v a_o very_a ignorant_a fellow_n that_o will_v take_v it_o in_o dudgeon_n for_o

ought_v not_o to_o be_v do_v but_o in_o case_n of_o notorious_a disobedience_n and_o unless_o it_o be_v necessary_o require_v for_o diverse_a worthy_a respect_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v punish_v
