i_o will_v deliver_v with_o as_o good_a method_n plainness_n and_o brevity_n as_o i_o can_v i_o be_o to_o begin_v with_o march_v wherein_o i_o pray_v observe_v my_o method_n and_o order_n which_o shall_v be_v fiir_v by_o precept_n to_o prescribe_v it_o then_o by_o example_n to_o approve_v it_o example_n be_v the_o life_n of_o precept_n i_o begin_v march_v 1._o in_o march_v you_o must_v be_v very_o mistrustful_a of_o your_o enemy_n lest_o he_o entrap_v you_o with_o ambush_n 2._o you_o must_v therefore_o appoint_v some_o to_o march_v before_o to_o discover_v suspect_v place_n as_o wood_n mountain_n forest_n rock_n bank_n of_o river_n cave_n hill_n hollow_a and_o deep_a way_n the_o most_o of_o which_o be_v rough_a and_o intricate_a and_o scarce_o passable_a for_o the_o heavy_a arm_a and_o horse_n 3._o the_o fit_a for_o this_o service_n be_v your_o musketeer_n i_o and_o your_o dragon_n to_o join_v with_o they_o for_o they_o may_v alight_v from_o their_o horse_n and_o serve_v on_o foot_n 4._o you_o must_v march_v sometime_o in_o one_o form_n sometime_o in_o another_o according_a to_o the_o place_n and_o occasion_n offer_v example_n alexander_n at_o the_o river_n granicus_n march_v with_o his_o horse_n foremost_a to_o pass_v the_o river_n and_o to_o assail_v the_o persian_n who_o have_v oppose_v their_o horse_n against_o he_o on_o the_o bank_n 5._o march_v through_o the_o straits_n to_o fight_v the_o battle_n of_o issos_n he_o march_v with_o his_o horse_n behind_o his_o foot_n because_o he_o be_v uncertain_a how_o near_o the_o enemy_n lie_v and_o be_v loath_a to_o put_v they_o to_o hazard_v before_o they_o have_v liberty_n of_o ground_n to_o order_v themselves_o and_o may_v have_v assistance_n of_o the_o foot_n at_o the_o river_n of_o ister_n he_o do_v the_o like_a for_o have_v past_o the_o river_n he_o march_v through_o a_o corn_n field_n and_o therefore_o so_o marshal_v they_o for_o fear_n of_o a_o ambush_n otherwise_o it_o be_v his_o custom_n in_o march_v as_o it_o be_v the_o manner_n also_o at_o this_o day_n to_o dispose_v his_o horse_n half_o behind_o and_o half_o before_o the_o carriage_n in_o the_o midst_n or_o otherwise_o but_o how_o to_o march_v proper_o both_o by_o day_n and_o by_o night_n with_o your_o carriage_n true_o place_v and_o every_o thing_n right_o order_v be_v a_o point_n worthy_a to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o brief_o thus_o be_v to_o march_v in_o the_o day_n observe_v the_o manner_n of_o march_n now_o in_o use_n 7._o let_v some_o dragon_n and_o musketeer_n march_v before_o to_o repress_v the_o enemy_n incursion_n and_o to_o search_v wood_n and_o forest_n for_o ambush_n and_o to_o surprise_v straight_o way_n bridge_n and_o ford_n send_v after_o they_o your_o pyoneer_n to_o mend_v the_o way_n to_o cut_v the_o wood_n that_o be_v in_o the_o way_n least_o by_o bad_a way_n the_o army_n be_v tire_v 8._o let_v the_o foot_n of_o the_o vanguard_n or_o right_a wing_n follow_v every_o battalion_n there_o of_o in_o order_n have_v half_o the_o horse_n of_o the_o army_n before_o they_o and_o all_o their_o baggage_n and_o carriage_n behind_o they_o 9_o after_o let_v the_o battalion_n of_o the_o battle_n follow_v with_o all_o their_o baggage_n and_o carriage_n in_o the_o rear_n as_o the_o former_a let_v the_o battalion_n of_o the_o rearward_n or_o leave_v wing_n follow_v with_o all_o their_o baggage_n or_o carriage_n behind_o they_o let_v every_o one_o of_o the_o battalion_n have_v their_o shoot_n before_o and_o behind_o and_o let_v the_o remainder_n of_o your_o horse_n bring_v up_o the_o rear_n as_o for_o your_o ordnance_n distribute_v that_o as_o your_o carriage_n both_o behind_o the_o vanguard_n the_o battle_n and_o the_o rearward_n the_o better_a to_o serve_v against_o all_o attempt_n 10._o at_o night_n quarter_v the_o battalion_n of_o the_o vanguard_n all_o in_o one_o place_n those_o of_o the_o battle_n all_o in_o another_o and_o those_o of_o the_o rearward_n all_o by_o themselves_o but_o not_o too_o far_o a_o sunder_a for_o fear_v of_o danger_n 11._o in_o the_o morning_n be_v to_o dislodge_v first_o shoot_v off_o one_o piece_n of_o ordnance_n a_o little_a after_o that_o another_o and_o so_o a_o three_o in_o his_o time_n shoot_v the_o first_o the_o army_n take_v notice_n you_o will_v dislodge_v therefore_o they_o truss_v up_o their_o baggage_n and_o load_v it_o shoot_v the_o second_o they_o take_v up_o their_o arm_n and_o fall_v into_o rank_n shoot_v the_o three_o they_o set_v forward_o to_o march_v thus_o grave_n maurice_n do_v dislodge_v his_o soldier_n
