have_v take_v his_o part_n willing_o i_o do_v not_o think_v battista_n will_v refuse_v battista_n hitherto_o i_o have_v suffer_v myself_o to_o be_v govern_v and_o be_o resolve_v to_o do_v so_o for_o

follow_v our_o business_n i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v now_o high_a time_n that_o we_o dispose_v our_o army_n into_o its_o quarter_n for_o you_o know_v every_o thing_n desire_v rest_n and_o security_n for_o to_o repose_v without_o security_n be_v not_o proper_o to_o repose_v i_o do_v fancy_n you_o will_v rather_o have_v have_v i_o lodge_v my_o army_n first_o and_o march_v and_o fight_v they_o afterward_o but_o we_o have_v do_v quite_o contrary_a and_o indeed_o not_o without_o necessity_n for_o be_v to_o show_v how_o a_o army_n in_o a_o march_n be_v to_o quit_v that_o form_n and_o put_v itself_o into_o a_o posture_n to_o fight_v it_o be_v necessary_a first_o to_o show_v how_o they_o be_v to_o be_v draw_v up_o for_o a_o battle_n but_o to_o return_v i_o say_v that_o if_o you_o will_v have_v your_o camp_n safe_a you_o must_v have_v it_o strong_a and_o well_o order_v the_o discretion_n of_o the_o general_n put_v it_o in_o good_a order_n but_o it_o be_v art_n or_o situation_n that_o make_v it_o defensible_a and_o strong_a the_o grecian_n be_v so_o curious_a in_o this_o point_n that_o they_o will_v never_o encamp_v but_o where_o there_o be_v some_o river_n or_o wood_n or_o bank_n or_o other_o natural_a rampart_n to_o defend_v they_o but_o the_o roman_n stand_v not_o so_o much_o upon_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o situation_n as_o their_o own_o way_n of_o fortification_n nor_o will_v they_o ever_o encamp_v but_o where_o according_a to_o their_o own_o discipline_n they_o can_v draw_v up_o their_o army_n for_o this_o reason_n the_o roman_n observe_v one_o constant_a form_n in_o their_o encampment_n for_o they_o will_v rather_o make_v the_o situation_n of_o the_o place_n comply_v with_o their_o method_n than_o permit_v their_o custom_n to_o comply_v with_o the_o situation_n but_o with_o the_o grecian_n it_o be_v otherwise_o because_o follow_v the_o condition_n and_o form_n of_o the_o place_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o they_o vary_v the_o manner_n of_o their_o encampment_n and_o the_o form_n of_o their_o camp_n the_o roman_n therefore_o where_o the_o situation_n be_v weak_a supply_v it_o by_o art_n and_o industry_n and_o because_o in_o this_o discourse_n i_o have_v propose_v the_o roman_n for_o a_o precedent_n i_o shall_v not_o leave_v they_o in_o my_o manner_n of_o encampment_n nevertheless_o i_o shall_v not_o follow_v their_o practice_n in_o every_o thing_n but_o pick_v and_o select_v such_o part_n as_o i_o think_v most_o agreeable_a with_o our_o time_n i_o have_v tell_v you_o often_o how_o the_o roman_n in_o their_o consular_a army_n have_v two_o legious_a of_o roman_n consist_v of_o about_o 11000_o foot_n and_o 600_o horse_n they_o have_v moreover_o about_o 11000_o more_o foot_n send_v in_o by_o their_o friend_n and_o ally_n to_o their_o assistance_n but_o this_o be_v a_o rule_n their_o auxilary_n never_o exceed_v the_o number_n of_o the_o legion_n unless_o it_o be_v in_o horse_n and_o in_o they_o they_o be_v not_o so_o curious_a i_o have_v tell_v you_o likewise_o how_o in_o all_o their_o battle_n their_o legion_n be_v place_v in_o the_o middle_n and_o their_o auxiliary_n in_o the_o flank_n and_o it_o be_v the_o same_o in_o their_o encampment_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o such_o author_n as_o make_v any_o mention_n of_o their_o history_n i_o will_v not_o therefore_o be_v so_o exact_a in_o my_o relation_n i_o shall_v content_v myself_o only_o to_o tell_v you_o in_o what_o order_n i_o will_v lodge_v my_o army_n at_o present_a and_o you_o will_v understand_v by_o that_o what_o i_o have_v borrow_v from_o the_o roman_n you_o know_v that_o in_o imitation_n of_o their_o legion_n i_o have_v take_v two_o battalion_n consist_v of_o 6000_o foot_n and_o 300_o horse_n of_o service_n for_o the_o battalion_n you_o know_v into_o what_o company_n into_o what_o arm_n and_o into_o what_o name_n i_o divide_v they_o you_o know_v how_o in_o order_v my_o army_n to_o march_v and_o to_o fight_v i_o have_v say_v nothing_o of_o more_o man_n only_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v be_v to_o be_v do_v by_o double_v their_o rank_n not_o by_o any_o reinforcement_n of_o man_n but_o be_v now_o to_o show_v you_o the_o manner_n of_o encamp_v i_o think_v it_o not_o convenient_a to_o stick_v to_o my_o two_o battalion_n but_o to_o unite_v our_o whole_a army_n compose_v according_a to_o the_o model_n of_o the_o roman_n of_o two_o battalion_n and_o as_o many_o auxiliary_n which_o i_o do_v the_o rather_o that_o the_o form_n of_o our_o camp_n may_v be_v the_o more_o complete_a by_o the_o reception_n of_o a_o complete_a
