stand_v undaunted_o to_o undergo_v all_o the_o cruel_a shot_n of_o the_o cannon_n from_o the_o contrary_a part_n for_o to_o preserve_v their_o colour_n who_o be_v likewise_o a_o place_n of_o randezvous_n for_o the_o musketeer_n to_o repair_v unto_o when_o they_o shall_v retreat_v from_o fight_n far_o it_o have_v be_v the_o ambition_n of_o many_o gentleman_n both_o in_o holland_n france_n and_o in_o these_o our_o late_a unhappy_a war_n in_o england_n to_o trail_v pike_n with_o several_a commander_n who_o they_o shall_v think_v fit_a and_o last_o to_o conclude_v all_o that_o the_o pike_n be_v the_o more_o honourable_a arm_n it_o be_v so_o in_o respect_n of_o its_o antiquity_n for_o there_o have_v be_v the_o use_n of_o the_o pike_n and_o spear_n many_o hundred_o year_n before_o there_o be_v any_o knowledge_n of_o the_o musket_n as_o in_o many_o history_n you_o shall_v find_v and_o so_o for_o present_v i_o will_v conclude_v this_o discourse_n of_o the_o pike_n desire_v the_o musketeer_n to_o have_v a_o favourable_a censure_n of_o i_o for_o i_o intend_v not_o by_o it_o to_o persuade_v all_o soldier_n to_o the_o handle_n of_o the_o pike_n and_o none_o to_o be_v musketeer_n for_o that_o can_v be_v i_o shall_v rather_o advise_v all_o captain_n that_o have_v occasion_n to_o raise_v their_o company_n to_o have_v two_o three_o of_o musketeer_n and_o but_o one_o of_o pike_n that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o they_o shall_v have_v 18_o file_n to_o cause_v twelve_o of_o they_o to_o carry_v musket_n and_o the_o other_o six_o file_n pike_n and_o in_o my_o judgement_n they_o shall_v perform_v the_o better_a service_n unto_o any_o nation_n where_o they_o shall_v be_v employ_v and_o i_o shall_v far_o desire_v the_o soldier_n especial_o those_o that_o be_v of_o low_a stature_n to_o
