do_v it_o but_o i_o be_o certain_a the_o method_n i_o have_v observe_v therein_o have_v still_o succeed_v well_o and_o by_o the_o other_o method_n i_o have_v know_v great_a loss_n have_v follow_v the_o usual_a way_n be_v that_o the_o regiment_n or_o company_n or_o party_n of_o soldier_n which_o be_v next_o to_o mount_v the_o guard_n and_o to_o relieve_v those_o on_o duty_n be_v draw_v up_o at_o the_o parade_n the_o chief_a officer_n who_o be_v to_o command_v the_o watch_n or_o the_o town_n major_n distribute_v the_o company_n or_o soldier_n to_o the_o mainguard_n the_o port_n and_o bie-guard_n as_o he_o think_v fit_a which_o i_o will_v not_o allow_v for_o these_o follow_a reason_n if_o a_o officer_n who_o command_v the_o watch_n or_o the_o town_n major_n be_v false_a corrupt_a or_o corruptable_a you_o thereby_o expose_v the_o garrison_n to_o be_v lose_v and_o those_o in_o it_o destroy_v since_o leave_v it_o to_o he_o to_o appoint_v all_o the_o guard_n he_o may_v send_v those_o of_o his_o confederacy_n to_o such_o corpse_n deguard_v as_o may_v let_v in_o the_o enemy_n or_o join_v with_o conspirator_n within_o the_o wall_n and_o though_o it_o be_v general_o presume_v that_o a_o officer_n fit_a to_o command_v the_o watch_n or_o a_o town_n major_n will_v not_o be_v a_o traitor_n yet_o many_o experience_n have_v evidence_v the_o contrary_a and_o in_o war_n especial_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o rely_v on_o what_o a_o inferior_a officer_n will_v not_o do_v but_o on_o what_o he_o can_v do_v therefore_o i_o will_v never_o leave_v that_o trust_n to_o a_o subordinate_a officer_n but_o expect_v and_o require_v the_o governor_n to_o discharge_v it_o in_o person_n yet_o if_o sickness_n or_o other_o invincible_a impediment_n hinder_v he_o from_o do_v it_o himself_o i_o will_v then_o have_v he_o appoint_v the_o guard_n to_o be_v draw_v by_o lot_n and_o this_o as_o well_o when_o a_o enemy_n be_v not_o near_o as_o when_o he_o be_v for_o if_o only_a on_o the_o vicinity_n of_o the_o enemy_n you_o do_v it_o you_o let_v the_o inhabitant_n and_o soldiery_n of_o the_o place_n too_o evident_o see_v you_o suspect_v your_o own_o garrison_n be_v not_o all_o right_a which_o may_v be_v of_o ill_a consequence_n but_o if_o you_o practise_v it_o always_o that_o will_v pass_v for_o discipline_n which_o otherwise_o will_v be_v judge_v suspicion_n beside_o if_o this_o method_n be_v the_o best_a in_o case_n of_o danger_n it_o will_v be_v also_o the_o best_a constant_o for_o in_o time_n of_o war_n especial_o in_o garrison_n where_o there_o be_v many_o inhabitant_n who_o can_v know_v when_o danger_n and_o treachery_n be_v at_o hand_n and_o therefore_o that_o rule_n which_o be_v best_a when_o it_o be_v near_o be_v best_a always_o therefore_o i_o esteem_v the_o way_n i_o propose_v be_v the_o most_o eligible_a because_o it_o be_v the_o safe_a for_o unless_o the_o governor_n himself_o be_v false_a in_o which_o case_n what_o can_v preserve_v a_o garrison_n or_o unless_o the_o lot_n draw_v places_z the_o conspirators_z in_o those_o very_a guard_n and_o post_n where_o they_o will_v choose_v to_o be_v which_o will_v prove_v as_o rare_a accident_n indeed_o the_o fortress_n will_v be_v free_v from_o the_o fatal_a effect_n of_o internal_a conspiration_n a_o second_o thing_n which_o i_o object_n against_o be_v that_o usual_o at_o the_o parade_n the_o quarter-master_n and_o sergeant_n receive_v the_o word_n in_o a_o ring_n from_o the_o governor_n captain_n of_o the_o watch_n or_o the_o town_n major_n and_o so_o be_v whisper_v from_o ear_n to_o ear_n returns_z to_z he_o who_o give_v it_o whereby_o if_o any_o mistake_v be_v in_o the_o word_n it_o be_v rectify_v before_o it_o be_v distribute_v which_o as_o to_o the_o modus_fw-la be_v good_a but_o as_o to_o the_o time_n of_o distribute_v and_o give_v of_o the_o word_n be_v dangerous_a for_o common_o the_o word_n be_v give_v at_o the_o parade_n when_o the_o reliever_n come_v to_o relieve_v those_o on_o duty_n which_o usual_o be_v in_o the_o daytime_n and_o before_o the_o port_n of_o the_o garrison_n be_v shut_v whereby_o any_o quartermaster_n sergeant_n or_o superior_a officer_n may_v communicate_v it_o to_o the_o enemy_n abroad_o or_o to_o conspirator_n within_o which_o may_v be_v of_o sad_a consequence_n for_o prevention_n of_o which_o i_o will_v never_o give_v the_o watchword_n till_o just_a as_o the_o tap-too_a be_v go_v about_o and_o when_o it_o beat_v all_o the_o quarter-master_n and_o sergeant_n shall_v from_o the_o governor_n receive_v the_o word_n and_o immediate_o distribute_v it_o it_o be_v also_o too_o usual_a in_o great_a garrison_n to_o have_v the_o word_n give_v in_o write_v for_o a_o week_n to_o come_v to_o the_o officer_n who_o be_v nightly_o to_o distribute_v it_o which_o i_o be_o utter_o against_o for_o shall_v he_o be_v false_a or_o negligent_a or_o let_v it_o accidental_o fall_v out_o of_o his_o pocket_n or_o shall_v he_o be_v overlook_v when_o he_o read_v it_o or_o shall_v he_o have_v any_o false_a servant_n about_o he_o who_o may_v by_o night_n steal_v it_o out_o of_o his_o pocket_n copy_n and_o then_o put_v it_o up_o again_o it_o may_v more_o than_o hazard_v all_o so_o that_o in_o my_o poor_a opinion_n the_o word_n shall_v only_o be_v know_v and_o give_v out_o every_o night_n just_o when_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v distribute_v for_o that_o be_v safe_a the_o other_o way_n very_o hazardous_a a_o three_o thing_n which_o i_o humble_o offer_v to_o be_v mend_v be_v the_o use_n in_o go_v the_o grand_a round_n which_o as_o it_o be_v general_o practise_v be_v what_o i_o have_v often_o lament_v and_o admire_v that_o garrison_n have_v not_o frequent_o be_v betray_v thereby_o the_o custom_n be_v that_o a_o field_n officer_n if_o the_o garrison_n be_v numerous_a or_o at_o least_o a_o commission_v officer_n take_v a_o guard_n of_o soldier_n with_o he_o and_o so_o attend_v go_v to_o the_o grand_a round_n at_o any_o hour_n he_o will_v after_o tap-too_a when_o he_o come_v to_o any_o port_n or_o bie-guard_n the_o centinel_n of_o it_o challenge_v he_o he_o answer_v the_o grand_a round_n the_o sentry_n than_o call_v the_o chief_a officer_n on_o that_o guard_n who_o come_v out_o and_o draw_v out_o his_o guard_n the_o officer_n that_o go_v the_o grand_a round_n receive_v the_o word_n from_o the_o officer_n of_o that_o guard_n and_o see_v if_o the_o guard_n be_v full_a and_o vigilant_a but_o from_o all_o round_n except_o the_o grand_a round_n the_o officer_n of_o the_o guard_n do_v not_o give_v the_o word_n but_o receive_v it_o this_o be_v the_o usal_a form_n be_v it_o not_o but_o too_o easy_a a_o thing_n for_o any_o conspirator_n in_o the_o garrison_n especial_o if_o a_o commission_n officer_n in_o it_o be_v of_o the_o number_n to_o get_v three_o or_o four_o file_n of_o man_n with_o he_o and_o go_v as_o the_o grand_a round_n before_o the_o true_a grand_fw-fr round_n do_v go_v whereby_o those_o conspirator_n will_v not_o only_o learn_v the_o word_n but_o also_o see_v how_o strong_a and_o vigilant_a all_o the_o guard_n be_v of_o the_o garrison_n except_o the_o main_a guard_n and_o if_o they_o find_v any_o weak_a or_o negligent_a especial_o in_o the_o port_n or_o on_o the_o bastion_n they_o may_v surprise_v cut_v they_o off_o and_o let_v in_o the_o enemy_n with_o who_o they_o be_v in_o consort_n to_o prevent_v which_o mischief_n i_o do_v still_o observe_v these_o two_o rule_n where_o i_o be_v governor_n when_o i_o give_v the_o watchword_n i_o also_o name_v the_o officer_n which_o that_o night_n i_o have_v order_v to_o go_v the_o grand_a round_n which_o be_v carry_v to_o all_o the_o officer_n of_o the_o garrison_n whereby_o if_o any_o traitor_n take_v upon_o he_o to_o go_v the_o grand_a round_n every_o guard_n may_v know_v he_o be_v a_o counterfeit_n and_o by_o secure_v or_o kill_v he_o prevent_v the_o mischief_n and_o because_o in_o very_o great_a garrison_n it_o may_v so_o happen_v that_o every_o officer_n be_v not_o know_v at_o first_o to_o all_o the_o officer_n of_o it_o and_o also_o that_o the_o officer_n who_o i_o give_v out_o in_o order_n shall_v go_v the_o grand_a round_n may_v by_o some_o accident_n be_v disable_v to_o do_v it_o i_o give_v a_o particular_a word_n for_o the_o grand_a round_n and_o order_v when_o ever_o the_o grand_a round_o go_v and_o be_v challenge_v by_o any_o guard_n the_o officer_z of_o that_o guard_n shall_v not_o give_v he_o the_o word_n nor_o admit_v he_o with_o the_o soldier_n that_o accompany_v he_o within_o his_o guard_n until_o he_o have_v first_o give_v the_o guard_n officer_n the_o word_n of_o the_o grand_a round_n which_o every_o night_n be_v give_v out_o with_o the_o watchword_n and_o the_o grand_a round_a word_n be_v first_o give_v to_o the_o officer_n of_o the_o guard_n by_o the_o grand_a round_a officer_n than_o the_o guard_n officer_n give_v he_o the_o watchword_n and_o not_o before_o hereby_o no_o body_n can_v walk_v the_o grand_a round_n deceitful_o for_o without_o the_o grand_a round_a word_n he_o can_v not_o be_v receive_v as_o the_o grand_a round_n nor_o come_v within_o any_o guard_n nor_o receive_v the_o watchword_n from_o any_o officer_n of_o the_o guard_n the_o three_o chief_a end_n of_o the_o grand_a round_n be_v first_o that_o some_o prime_a officer_n may_v see_v if_o the_o guard_n and_o

sentinel_n of_o they_o be_v post_v and_o set_v out_o as_o appoint_v second_o if_o they_o be_v vigilant_a in_o their_o duty_n and_o the_o number_n of_o the_o guard_n full_a for_o which_o reason_n the_o officer_n who_o go_v the_o grand_a round_n aught_o to_o know_v of_o how_o many_o officer_n non-commissioned_a officer_n and_o private_a soldier_n every_o individual_a guard_n be_v to_o consist_v that_o if_o he_o find_v any_o want_v he_o may_v acquaint_v the_o governor_n with_o it_o that_o the_o faulty_a may_v be_v punish_v and_o if_o any_o number_n on_o any_o guard_n be_v want_v of_o what_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v immediate_o to_o supply_v they_o from_o the_o main_a guard_n three_o that_o no_o guard_n know_v when_o that_o prime_a officer_n will_v go_v his_o grand_a round_n all_o the_o guard_n may_v be_v the_o more_o vigilant_a and_o full_a for_o i_o have_v know_v when_o grand_a round_n have_v go_v early_o in_o the_o night_n or_o at_o a_o set_a hour_n the_o guard_n will_v be_v watchful_a and_o full_a till_o the_o grand_a round_o have_v go_v and_o then_o officer_n will_v go_v off_o themselves_o and_o connive_v at_o some_o of_o the_o soldier_n do_v the_o like_a which_o evidence_v they_o more_o fear_v to_o be_v punish_v by_o their_o governor_n than_o to_o be_v surprise_v by_o their_o enemy_n but_o unless_o they_o do_v exact_o their_o duty_n proceed_v from_o a_o apprehension_n of_o both_o it_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n and_o if_o not_o always_o severe_o punish_v may_v too_o probable_o be_v the_o loss_n of_o the_o garrison_n have_v thus_o offer_v to_o consideration_n these_o three_o particular_n and_o propound_v the_o remedy_n to_o they_o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o those_o general_a rule_n which_o seem_v indispensible_o requisite_a to_o be_v observe_v in_o all_o well_o regulate_v garrison_n one_o stand_v maxim_n be_v that_o the_o several_a guard_n which_o be_v to_o do_v the_o constant_a duty_n be_v always_o so_o advise_o and_o cautious_o post_v and_o distribute_v and_o the_o sentinel_n of_o every_o guard_n so_o set_v out_o round_o the_o whole_a garrison_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v impossible_a if_o the_o guard_n and_o sentinel_n do_v their_o duty_n for_o a_o enemy_n from_o without_o or_o conspirators_z within_z to_z attack_z you_o without_o timely_a notice_n in_o do_v whereof_o much_o will_v depend_v upon_o the_o discretion_n of_o the_o governor_n and_o his_o subaltern_a officer_n in_o calm_a and_o moonshine_n night_n i_o will_v set_v out_o my_o sentinel_n thin_a and_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n but_o in_o dark_a and_o tempestuous_a night_n i_o will_v set_v they_o thick_a and_o have_v double_a sentry_n for_o in_o wet_a and_o windy_a night_n a_o sentinel_n musket_n on_o his_o discovery_n of_o a_o enemy_n may_v not_o go_v off_o and_o in_o that_o case_n if_o there_o be_v but_o a_o fingle_a sentry_n he_o will_v run_v off_o and_o give_v the_o alarm_n whereby_o if_o the_o enemy_n plant_v a_o scale_a ladder_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o sentinel_n absence_n he_o may_v uninterrupted_o do_v it_o whereas_o if_o there_o be_v double_a sentinel_n and_o both_o their_o musket_n shall_v fail_v of_o fire_v one_o of_o they_o may_v run_v off_o to_o the_o guard_n call_v for_o and_o send_v help_v and_o without_o noise_n have_v in_o a_o readiness_n the_o guard_n to_o fall_v unexpected_o on_o the_o assaulter_n while_o the_o

to_o handle_v a_o ladder_n at_o the_o bottom_n can_v raise_v it_o to_o the_o top_n i_o know_v a_o very_a important_a garrison_n between_o france_n and_o italy_n enter_v by_o the_o enemy_n in_o a_o
