A51540	An epitome of the whole art of war In two parts. The first of military discipline, containing the whole exercise of the pike and musquet, &c. with plain directions for the various postures. Also the drawing up of battalions, and way of forming them; with the art of doubling, wheeling, forming and drawing up an army into any figure. The way of conducting armies in hilly, woody or plain countries: of encampings, besiegings, giving of battle, &c. The second of fortification and gunnery, which shews the principles and practices of fortification, as now used, as well by the English, as several other European nations, (especially by Their Majesties army) at the late siege of Athlone, Galoway, Limerick, &c. ... Of casements, cittadels, crownworks, ravelins, &c. Of gunnery, ... morters, demy-cannon, &c. with the manner of batteries, &c. All illustrated and further explained by 18 copper-plates, curiously designed and engraven.	Moxon, Joseph, 1627-1691.; J. S., Capt. Military discipline.; J. S., Capt.

how_o to_o tertiate_v quadrate_n and_o to_o dispart_v a_o piece_n of_o ordnance_n 1._o to_o tertiate_v a_o piece_n be_v to_o find_v whether_o it_o have_v its_o due_a thickness_n at_o the_o trunnion_n

that_o it_o need_v not_o my_o explanation_n 3._o to_o dispart_v a_o piece_n be_v to_o fix_v or_o elevate_v on_o the_o convex-point_n of_o the_o muzzel-ring_n a_o mark_n as_o far_o distant_a from_o the_o cylinder_n or_o soul_n of_o the_o piece_n as_o be_v the_o point_n of_o the_o base-ring_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o visail-ray_n which_o pass_v by_o these_o mark_n may_v be_v parallel_n to_o the_o chase_n soul_n or_o cylinder_n of_o the_o piece_n now_o the_o dispart_n i._n e._n the_o difference_n of_o the_o semidiameter_n of_o the_o cornish_n may_v be_v by_o a_o pair_n of_o callipe_a

so_o that_o it_o describe_v a_o curve_v line_n call_v the_o ball_n middle_a helical_a or_o conical_a arch_n in_o the_o end_n the_o natural_a gravity_n overcome_v the_o impress_v violence_n which_o

general_o know_v and_o by_o so_o many_o author_n full_o explain_v that_o i_o here_o crave_v leave_v to_o omit_v it_o but_o take_v these_o for_o general_a rule_n 1._o that_o a_o shot_n at_o right_a angle_n strike_v more_o violent_a and_o furious_o than_o at_o oblique_a angle_n therefore_o gunner_n use_v when_o they_o be_v to_o batter_v down_o a_o tower_n wall_z or_o earth-work_n to_o shoot_v point_n blank_a at_o the_o object_n tire_v by_o tire_n by_o discharge_v all_o the_o piece_n in_o battery_n against_o the_o self_n same_o object_n in_o the_o same_o instant_n hold_v it_o for_o a_o maxim_n that_o ten_o cannon_n discharge_v together_o do_v far_o more_o execution_n than_o discharge_v one_o after_o another_o now_o at_o oblique_a angle_n they_o shoot_v either_o cross-way_n or_o by_o rebound_v 2._o that_o the_o speedy_a way_n to_o make_v a_o breach_n in_o a_o wall_n etc._n etc._n be_v by_o shoot_v at_o the_o object_n from_o two_o battery_n which_o ruin_v far_o more_o speedy_o than_o by_o strike_v the_o object_n with_o one_o battery_n at_o right_a angle_n although_o that_o one_o battery_n have_v as_o many_o cannon_n as_o the_o other_o two_o have_v 3._o that_o if_o you_o be_v to_o batter_v a_o flank_n cover_v with_o a_o orillion_n which_o because_o you_o can_v possible_o batter_v it_o right_o forward_o you_o must_v therefore_o of_o necessity_n batter_v it_o oblique_o by_o way_n of_o rebound_v thus_o choose_v a_o fit_a place_n in_o the_o curtain_n to_o be_v your_o object_n on_o which_o you_o may_v play_v with_o your_o battery_n oblique_o so_o that_o by_o a_o rebound_n the_o shot_n may_v leap_v into_o the_o flank_n hold_v for_o a_o maxim_n in_o this_o operation_n that_o the_o angle_n of_o incidence_n and_o reflection_n be_v equal_a of_o shoot_v in_o mortarpiece_n a_o mortar-piece_n be_v a_o short_a piece_n with_o which_o they_o shoot_v bomb_n granado-shell_n stone-ball_n etc._n etc._n not_o by_o a_o right_a line_n but_o from_o a_o curve_v from_o

mortar_n it_o be_v requisite_a to_o observe_v these_o follow_a rule_n as_o 1._o that_o before_o you_o make_v a_o shot_n at_o any_o place_n you_o find_v the_o distance_n thereof_o from_o your_o mortar_n 2._o that_o the_o bomb_n or_o other_o body_n that_o be_v to_o be_v shoot_v be_v of_o equal_a weight_n otherwise_o the_o shot_n will_v fail_v 3._o that_o the_o carriage_n in_o breadth_n be_v always_o on_o a_o level_n and_o without_o any_o descent_n that_o so_o it_o may_v not_o leap_v in_o discharge_v fail_v 4._o that_o the_o powder_n with_o which_o the_o mortar_n be_v load_v be_v always_o of_o the_o same_o force_n and_o weight_n 5._o that_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o mortar_n as_o well_o in_o powder_n as_o in_o wadding_n be_v always_o ram_v in_o with_o blow_n equal_o heavy_a and_o of_o

in_o those_o day_n that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v use_v and_o that_o they_o be_v make_v of_o a_o composition_n proportionable_a to_o the_o range_v that_o the_o shot_n shall_v make_v in_o the_o air_n so_o that_o the_o bomb_n may_v break_v in_o the_o very_a moment_n it_o fall_v which_o composition_n must_v be_v such_o that_o though_o it_o fall_v in_o the_o water_n yet_o not_o to_o extinguish_v but_o the_o bomb_n there_o to_o break_v now_o before_o we_o proceed_v any_o far_a i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o show_v how_o to_o compose_v your_o ingredient_n for_o your_o fusee_fw-fr to_o make_v

all_o the_o difference_n between_o regular_n and_o irregular_a fortification_n consist_v in_o the_o rectify_v the_o side_n that_o be_v too_o short_a or_o too_o long_o and_o alter_v the_o angle_n
