A51540	An epitome of the whole art of war In two parts. The first of military discipline, containing the whole exercise of the pike and musquet, &c. with plain directions for the various postures. Also the drawing up of battalions, and way of forming them; with the art of doubling, wheeling, forming and drawing up an army into any figure. The way of conducting armies in hilly, woody or plain countries: of encampings, besiegings, giving of battle, &c. The second of fortification and gunnery, which shews the principles and practices of fortification, as now used, as well by the English, as several other European nations, (especially by Their Majesties army) at the late siege of Athlone, Galoway, Limerick, &c. ... Of casements, cittadels, crownworks, ravelins, &c. Of gunnery, ... morters, demy-cannon, &c. with the manner of batteries, &c. All illustrated and further explained by 18 copper-plates, curiously designed and engraven.	Moxon, Joseph, 1627-1691.; J. S., Capt. Military discipline.; J. S., Capt.

be_v somewhat_o obtuse_a neither_o be_v there_o any_o more_o virtue_n in_o a_o right-angle_n than_o any_o other_o for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o fort._n 6._o that_o the_o length_n of_o a_o extend_a

rebound_v 2._o that_o the_o speedy_a way_n to_o make_v a_o breach_n in_o a_o wall_n etc._n etc._n be_v by_o shoot_v at_o the_o object_n from_o two_o battery_n which_o ruin_v far_o more_o speedy_o

be_v to_o batter_v a_o flank_n cover_v with_o a_o orillion_n which_o because_o you_o can_v possible_o batter_v it_o right_o forward_o you_o must_v therefore_o of_o necessity_n batter_v it_o oblique_o
