a_o b._n the_o rest_n i_o leave_v to_o your_o own_o practice_n how_o to_o fortify_v a_o long_a curtain_n with_o bulwark_n or_o a_o strait_a town_n wall_n let_v the_o curtain_n be_v a_o b._n first_o

shall_v e_z f_o be_v the_o long_a line_n of_o defence_n and_o c_o f_o the_o capital_a line_n which_o line_n c_o f_o must_v be_v lay_v down_o from_o c_o unto_o g_z and_o draw_v g_o f_o for_o the_o

thus_o have_v you_o finish_v half_o the_o bastion_n from_o whence_o you_o may_v transport_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o bastion_n be_v they_o ever_o so_o many_o note_v that_o these_o bastion_n must_v not_o exceed_v 720_o foot_n that_o so_o it_o may_v not_o be_v without_o musket-shot_a but_o if_o you_o will_v defend_v the_o front_n with_o cannon_n you_o may_v make_v the_o line_n of_o
