1000_o man_n or_o more_o there_o be_v now_o at_o this_o instant_a time_n great_a argument_n and_o disputation_n among_o soldier_n some_o be_v of_o great_a experience_n and_o knowledge_n some_o of_o

to_o draw_v up_o regiment_n by_o entire_a and_o whole_a company_n without_o alteration_n but_o first_o draw_v up_o all_o the_o pike_n into_o one_o body_n than_o the_o shot_n into_o another_o and_o after_o divide_v the_o shot_n into_o two_o equal_a part_n wing_n or_o flank_n the_o pike_n on_o either_o hand_n and_o so_o make_v one_o whole_a and_o entire_a battle_n of_o shot_n and_o pike_n and_o

pre-eminence_n of_o place_n according_a to_o his_o dignity_n and_o many_o inferior_a officer_n advance_v and_o employ_v which_o be_v extravegant_a in_o the_o former_a battle_n the_o old_a ancient_a

and_o many_o other_o like_o reason_n the_o young_a soldier_n yield_v to_o make_v good_a this_o new_a opinion_n and_o i_o must_v confess_v they_o carry_v a_o greet_v show_v of_o substantial_a truth_n do_v not_o some_o impediment_n cross_v in_o the_o way_n which_o take_v from_o they_o a_o great_a part_n of_o belief_n and_o credit_n for_o to_o these_o reason_n thus_o the_o old_a soldier_n reply_n that_o true_a it_o be_v opinion_n this_o form_n of_o imbattail_v be_v good_a and_o may_v pass_v for_o courant_a as_o long_o as_o company_n be_v in_o their_o full_a strength_n and_o hold_v their_o

and_o surfeite_v do_v so_o attend_v upon_o army_n that_o by_o they_o commpany_n be_v exceed_o weaken_a and_o make_v less_o so_o that_o he_o which_o muster_v one_o hundred_o man_n if_o he_o bring_v

the_o several_a weapon_n of_o these_o small_a body_n be_v draw_v out_o and_o knit_v into_o several_a great_a body_n the_o numbee_n will_v swell_v and_o increase_v and_o as_o of_o unit_n be_v make_v

will_v do_v more_o hurt_v and_o spoil_v than_o four_o of_o the_o small_a last_o for_o the_o imagination_n of_o more_o ready_a obedience_n better_a understanding_n of_o command_n and_o a_o great_a

their_o own_o captain_n then_o with_o other_o man_n the_o natural_a allegiance_n they_o bear_v to_o their_o king_n and_o country_n who_o quarrel_n they_o fight_v put_v all_o such_o doubt_n out_o of_o

this_o more_o to_o withstand_v this_o new_a manner_n of_o imbattail_v they_o say_v that_o this_o mix_n of_o shot_n and_o pike_n together_o in_o several_a distinct_a company_n weaken_v and_o disable_v the_o gross_a body_n for_o here_o if_o you_o cast_v off_o your_o shot_n than_o you_o leave_v such_o empty_a and_o wide_a street_n that_o the_o enemy_n horse_n be_v apt_a to_o break_v in_o and_o disorder_v they_o or_o if_o you_o do_v not_o cast_v off_o the_o shott_n but_o keep_v they_o close_o and_o make_v they_o discharge_v in_o countermarch_v which_o be_v

the_o best_a and_o safe_a way_n yet_o than_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v throng_v up_o together_o by_o the_o pike_n and_o the_o distance_n of_o place_n be_v take_v from_o they_o the_o use_n of_o their_o weapon_n must_v fall_v and_o so_o consequent_o all_o thing_n fall_v to_o ruin_v but_o suppose_v order_n be_v keep_v and_o these_o defect_n not_o find_v in_o the_o battle_n yet_o say_v the_o old_a soldier_n that_o there_o be_v great_a impediment_n in_o this_o kind_n of_o imbattel_v for_o in_o what_o manner_n soever_o the_o short_a serve_v yet_o they_o will_v ever_o leave_v a_o weakness_n in_o the_o and_o such_o open_a gap_n and_o street_n that_o the_o horse_n may_v break_v in_o at_o pleasure_n or_o any_o other_o new_a foot_n division_n may_v sally_v forth_o and_o over_o throw_v the_o whole_a regiment_n as_o by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o figure_n follow_v may_v easy_o be_v perceive_v in_o a_o few_o company_n as_o in_o this_o ensue_a figure_n more_o plain_o be_v show_v the_o

regiment_n whether_o they_o serve_v in_o countermarch_n or_o otherwise_o leave_v so_o many_o open_a entrance_n that_o if_o one_o yet_o all_o can_v hardly_o be_v prevent_v opinion_n thus_o i_o have_v show_v you_o the_o several_a way_n of_o imbattail_v of_o a_o regiment_n with_o the_o different_a opinion_n of_o soldier_n together_o with_o their_o argument_n and_o strength_n of_o reason_n thereupon_o it_o rest_v now_o that_o i_o deliver_v my_o particular_a opinion_n touch_v the_o best_a election_n wherein_o although_o i_o know_v many_o oposites_n will_v rise_v up_o against_o i_o yet_o free_o and_o ingenious_o thus_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o the_o first_o manner_n of_o imbattel_v by_o several_a company_n reconcile_v and_o every_o captain_n lead_v of_o his_o own_o man_n be_v excellent_a for_o show_v at_o general_a muster_n or_o at_o any_o peaceful_a triumph_n where_o the_o exercise_n of_o arm_n be_v require_v because_o it_o be_v comely_a and_o beautiful_a to_o behold_v give_v great_a contentment_n to_o the_o spectator_n and_o continue_v the_o volley_n long_o though_o not_o in_o the_o best_a order_n but_o if_o it_o be_v to_o express_v true_a martial_a discipline_n to_o bring_v hand_n to_o fight_v in_o good_a sadness_n or_o to_o give_v affright_n to_o a_o certain_a enemy_n at_o all_o time_n both_o in_o strength_n and_o weakness_n then_o with_o out_o all_o doubt_n the_o latter_a form_n of_o imbattail_v where_o the_o pike_n be_v draw_v into_o one_o body_n and_o wing_a on_o each_o hand_n with_o the_o shot_n be_v without_o all_o contradiction_n the_o only_o best_a way_n for_o the_o imbattail_v of_o a_o regiment_n of_o one_o thousand_o man_n or_o more_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o argument_n of_o imbattail_v a_o regiment_n wherein_o if_o any_o
