for_o you_o and_o your_o enemy_n very_o strong_a in_o horse_n and_o you_o few_o horse_n or_o none_o to_o reanswer_n they_o horse_n than_o in_o my_o opinion_n the_o sure_a way_n be_v thus_o as_o i_o

in_o such_o case_n where_o your_o battle_n may_v be_v charge_v on_o every_o part_n or_o side_n that_o then_o those_o rank_n in_o flank_n which_o have_v a_o wide_a distance_n than_o those_o man_n

fine_a as_o many_o misaduised_a man_n have_v do_v therefore_o to_o prolong_v time_n and_o to_o shun_v the_o doubtful_a fact_n of_o arm_n it_o be_v needful_a to_o make_v choice_n to_o march_v if_o possible_a you_o may_v through_o mountain_n ground_n and_o hilly_a and_o with_o such_o advantage_n of_o seat_n and_o ground_n that_o the_o enemy_n may_v not_o with_o any_o reason_n of_o advantage_n

and_o course_n true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o you_o be_v in_o a_o country_n where_o this_o advantage_n of_o hill_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v and_o must_v of_o necessity_n march_v through_o plain_n

otherwise_o especial_o if_o your_o army_n do_v surmount_v your_o enemy_n in_o cavallerie_n for_o in_o such_o case_n the_o battle_n be_v not_o to_o be_v refuse_v your_o strength_n consist_v most_o in_o
