to_o plant_v some_o piece_n in_o the_o front_n of_o the_o army_n which_o may_v play_v upon_o the_o enemy_n troop_n on_o all_o side_n seek_v out_o always_o for_o this_o effect_n some_o place_n of_o advantage_n to_o place_v they_o in_o that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o lose_v your_o piece_n and_o though_o you_o can_v get_v such_o a_o advantage_n yet_o your_o piece_n be_v in_o the_o head_n of_o your_o battle_n will_v be_v of_o less_o service_n because_o when_o you_o be_v to_o come_v to_o the_o chock_n and_o join_v of_o battle_n they_o may_v in_o some_o wise_a annoy_n your_o own_o man_n which_o i_o see_v in_o one_o of_o these_o battle_n abovesaid_a gen._n therefore_o i_o think_v it_o be_v fit_a they_o shall_v be_v place_v upon_o both_o the_o flank_n and_o in_o the_o rear_n of_o the_o battalion_n by_o leave_v a_o free_a place_n of_o arm_n which_o may_v give_v no_o offence_n to_o our_o own_o man_n capt._n i_o can_v hardly_o believe_v illustrious_a sir_n that_o that_o will_v be_v so_o expedient_a for_o a_o enemy_n perceive_v that_o the_o front_n be_v leave_v bare_a without_o ordnance_n he_o will_v take_v the_o more_o courage_n to_o fall_v on_o and_o come_v up_o to_o the_o charge_n therefore_o i_o hold_v it_o more_o fit_v that_o the_o artillery_n may_v be_v divide_v some_o here_o some_o there_o both_o before_o the_o front_n and_o upon_o the_o flank_n place_v some_o fifty_o or_o a_o hundred_o pace_n one_o from_o another_o and_o then_o there_o will_v be_v no_o danger_n when_o the_o enemy_n shall_v come_v up_o to_o chock_n to_o encounter_v you_o or_o offend_v our_o own_o man_n especial_o when_o they_o be_v fasten_v to_o they_o by_o drawing-rope_n and_o iron_n ring_n that_o upon_o a_o instant_n they_o may_v be_v remove_v and_o turn_v for_o the_o advantage_n of_o our_o own_o troop_n and_o give_v fire_n as_o fast_o as_o they_o can_v charge_v and_o discharge_v among_o the_o enemy_n troop_n which_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o great_a moment_n for_o the_o obtain_n of_o a_o victory_n but_o it_o happen_v very_o seldom_o that_o such_o convenient_a place_n can_v be_v find_v for_o the_o plant_n of_o ordnance_n in_o a_o battle_n as_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v for_o oftentimes_o one_o shall_v be_v drive_v of_o necessity_n to_o make_v choice_n of_o such_o place_n as_o the_o ground_n will_v afford_v by_o reason_n of_o wood_n hill_n marish_a ground_n and_o such_o like_a disadvantageous_a place_n as_o you_o may_v meet_v withal_o and_o for_o which_o one_o can_v give_v no_o certain_a rule_n but_o that_o the_o general_n by_o his_o wisdom_n and_o discretion_n may_v make_v choice_n of_o the_o best_a advantage_n which_o may_v annoy_v the_o enemy_n most_o and_o give_v the_o least_o offence_n to_o his_o own_o man_n either_o by_o dazzle_v they_o by_o the_o sun_n the_o raise_n of_o dust_n and_o which_o way_n the_o wind_n drive_v the_o smoke_n both_o of_o ordnance_n and_o small_a shot_n which_o though_o little_a in_o themselves_o yet_o may_v prove_v to_o his_o man_n great_a impediment_n and_o disadvantageous_a but_o leave_v these_o thing_n we_o will_v now_o return_v again_o to_o our_o former_a discourse_n because_o your_o lordship_n be_v of_o the_o opinion_n that_o the_o ordnance_n ought_v rather_o to_o be_v plant_v upon_o the_o wing_n and_o flank_n of_o the_o battailion_n then_o otherwise_o which_o i_o dare_v not_o approve_v of_o in_o regard_n that_o when_o the_o troop_n be_v to_o encounter_v with_o the_o enemy_n and_o come_v up_o to_o the_o charge_n our_o own_o man_n may_v be_v more_o annoy_v by_o our_o own_o ordnance_n which_o may_v breed_v a_o confusion_n than_o the_o enemy_n when_o as_o the_o wing_n of_o our_o horse_n which_o be_v upon_o the_o flank_n shall_v come_v up_o to_o charge_v the_o enemy_n so_o that_o our_o own_o piece_n may_v puzzle_v they_o great_o when_o as_o they_o be_v to_o play_v from_o the_o flank_n beside_o the_o mischief_n which_o may_v happen_v among_o our_o own_o man_n therefore_o one_o ought_v to_o be_v very_o careful_a and_o circumspect_a in_o plant_v they_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o out_o of_o my_o own_o experience_n i_o be_o able_a to_o say_v upon_o this_o question_n wherefore_o i_o do_v advise_v every_o captain_n of_o the_o ordnance_n and_o master-gunner_n to_o use_v some_o light_a field_n piece_n and_o small_a drake_n which_o upon_o every_o occasion_n may_v be_v remove_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o and_o courageous_o advance_v to_o the_o place_n of_o most_o advantage_n which_o may_v offend_v the_o enemy_n gen._n sir_n the_o reason_n you_o use_v have_v give_v i_o good_a satisfaction_n but_o i_o pray_v you_o resolve_v i_o of_o one_o thing_n more_o that_o be_v how_o a_o general_n of_o the_o ordnance_n ought_v to_o carry_v himself_o in_o the_o day_n of_o battle_n capt._n in_o such_o a_o time_n the_o general_n be_v to_o show_v most_o his_o wisdom_n discretion_n and_o experience_n which_o chief_o consist_v herein_o that_o he_o and_o his_o lieutenant_n keep_v their_o train_n together_o in_o good_a order_n to_o have_v a_o vigilant_a eye_n upon_o all_o accident_n that_o may_v fall_v out_o and_o to_o make_v choice_n of_o such_o ground_n for_o the_o plant_n of_o his_o ordnance_n as_o the_o general_n of_o the_o army_n and_o he_o shall_v think_v best_a to_o see_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v in_o a_o readiness_n the_o ordnance_n well_o place_v and_o that_o the_o master-gunner_n gentleman_n of_o the_o ordnance_n and_o canonier_n do_v their_o best_a endeavour_n and_o acquit_v themselves_o like_o man_n it_o be_v partly_o also_o his_o charge_n to_o see_v that_o the_o whole_a army_n be_v well_o provide_v with_o munition_n as_o powder_v bullet_n and_o match_n because_o the_o ammunition_n march_v under_o his_o train_n he_o be_v to_o be_v near_o the_o general_n of_o the_o army_n upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o receive_v his_o direction_n and_o command_n and_o to_o see_v they_o execute_v speedy_o and_o to_o know_v of_o he_o after_o what_o forr_n ●_o he_o will_v make_v his_o battle_n that_o he_o may_v plant_v his_o ordnance_n according_o and_o so_o to_o find_v out_o hill_n and_o height_n to_o play_v over_o his_o own_o man_n and_o offend_v the_o enemy_n most_o and_o when_o a_o enemy_n shall_v present_v himself_o and_o come_v up_o to_o the_o charge_n to_o draw_v and_o plant_v his_o ordnance_n as_o near_o their_o horse_n as_o possible_a may_v be_v to_o hinder_v they_o from_o break_v in_o upon_o the_o division_n of_o foot_n take_v along_o with_o he_o saylor_n and_o pionier_n to_o help_v to_o draw_v up_o the_o ordnance_n and_o sufficient_a
