the_o pain_n to_o be_v a_o good_a musketty_a certain_o can_v be_v idle_a but_o have_v gain_v something_o more_o to_o make_v he_o capable_a of_o such_o praise_n to_o conclude_v i_o shall_v desire_v

and_o put_v up_o your_o sword_n this_o way_n of_o charge_v to_o the_o horse_n i_o have_v set_v down_o as_o be_v practise_v sometime_o among_o we_o in_o our_o private_a meeting_n but_o i_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v of_o little_a use_n to_o receive_v a_o desperate_a charge_n of_o the_o horse_n for_o by_o these_o charge_v the_o soldier_n be_v in_o so_o lame_a and_o weak_a a_o posture_n that_o the_o

oppose_v the_o horse-charge_n be_v that_o which_o we_o learn_v of_o our_o ever-honoured_a captain_n major_a henry_n tillier_n in_o the_o military_a garden_n which_o be_v file_n close_v to_o the_o

their_o rank_n forward_o so_o close_o that_o they_o lock_v themselves_o one_o within_o another_o and_o then_o charge_v on_o which_o in_o my_o judgement_n be_v so_o secure_a a_o way_n from_o rout_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o body_n of_o horse_n to_o enter_v therein_o and_o far_o to_o my_o best_a remembrance_n i_o never_o can_v meet_v with_o any_o soldier_n that_o have_v be_v a_o broad_a upon_o any_o service_n that_o ever_o see_v any_o charge_v of_o the_o pike_n at_o the_o foot_n therefore_o i_o will_v further_o proceed_v from_o order_n advance_v shoulder_n port_n comport_v
