encounter_v the_o enemy_n with_o shall_v be_v fair_a partisan_n of_o strong_a and_o short_a blade_n well_o guilt_n and_o adorn_v according_a to_o their_o own_o pleasure_n for_o the_o form_n or_o

which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v this_o form_n follow_v first_o you_o shall_v draw_v your_o company_n into_o two_o battalion_n or_o square_a body_n the_o pike_n by_o themselves_o and_o the_o shot_n by_o themselves_o which_o body_n shall_v consist_v of_o rank_n and_o file_n and_o you_o shall_v draw_v they_o forth_o by_o file_n or_o ten_o man_n after_o man_n or_o if_o they_o be_v much_o disorderly_a and_o uncapable_a then_o draw_v they_o forth_o by_o half_a file_n or_o five_o and_o when_o they_o be_v so_o place_v by_o double_v those_o half_a file_n you_o may_v bring_v they_o to_o whole_a file_n which_o do_v then_o place_v the_o pike_n in_o the_o midst_n wing_v they_o on_o either_o hand_n with_o your_o shot_n wherein_o if_o you_o have_v harquebuss_n which_o be_v now_o out_o of_o use_n with_o we_o you_o shall_v then_o give_v to_o your_o musquetier_n the_o priority_n of_o place_n that_o be_v they_o shall_v make_v the_o outmost_a file_n both_o of_o the_o right_n and_o the_o left_a hand_n now_o for_o a_o rank_n you_o shall_v understand_v it_o be_v a_o row_n of_o man_n place_v pouldron_n to_o pouldron_n or_o shoulder_n to_o shoulder_n their_o face_n be_v direct_v all_o one_o way_n and_o a_o file_n be_v a_o sequence_n of_o man_n stand_v one_o behind_o another_o back_o to_o belly_n extend_v from_o the_o first_o to_o the_o last_o man_n and_o it_o be_v take_v from_o the_o french_a word_n la_fw-fr fila_fw-la signify_v a_o thridd_n because_o man_n stand_v long_o wise_a and_o straight_o like_o a_o three_o and_o the_o file_n consist_v of_o single_a man_n downward_o as_o the_o rank_n consist_v of_o single_a man_n overthwart_o now_o these_o file_n in_o some_o discipline_n be_v call_v flank_n because_o they_o do_v flanker_n or_o wall_n in_o the_o battalion_n and_o the_o rank_n be_v

therefore_o those_o two_o name_n be_v without_o contradiction_n now_o last_o you_o shall_v understand_v that_o a_o rank_n may_v consist_v of_o as_o many_o man_n as_o you_o please_v according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o your_o company_n but_o a_o file_n however_o the_o spaniard_n and_o italian_n use_v it_o in_o uncertain_a depth_n ought_v never_o to_o be_v above_o ten_o person_n deep_a except_o
