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.

for_o every_o regiment_n of_o horse_n and_o foot_n before_o encamp_v he_o ought_v to_o consider_v if_o the_o army_n consist_v much_o of_o horse_n that_o there_o be_v good_a store_n of_o forage_v

observe_v in_o fortification_n in_o the_o handle_n of_o this_o part_n i_o shall_v be_v plain_a yet_o brief_a as_o possible_a 1._o general_n maxim_n be_v that_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o place_n be_v of_o cannon_n proof_n flank_v i._n e._n defend_v from_o another_o place_n which_o place_n be_v not_o further_o distant_a than_o the_o reach_n of_o a_o musket-shot_a from_o the_o place_n to_o be_v flank_v or_o defend_v 2._o that_o in_o all_o the_o place_n there_o may_v be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o wall_n or_o outside_n of_o the_o rampire_n that_o be_v not_o see_v from_o the_o top_n to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o mote_n or_o ditch_n 3._o that_o the_o bastion_n be_v large_a and_o full_a of_o earth_n and_o not_o empty_a the_o big_a they_o be_v they_o be_v the_o more_o to_o be_v esteem_v there_o be_v the_o more_o room_n to_o entrench_v in_o case_n of_o necessity_n who_o gorge_n let_v be_v at_o least_o 35_o fathom_n and_o their_o flank_n at_o least_o 18_o fathom_n 4._o that_o the_o angle_n of_o the_o bastion_n or_o flank_v angle_n be_v not_o much_o above_o 90_o nor_o much_o less_o than_o 60_o degree_n for_o in_o the_o former_a it_o will_v be_v too_o very_o obtuse_a and_o open_a at_o the_o point_n and_o in_o the_o latter_a it_o will_v be_v too_o slender_a and_o so_o easy_o to_o be_v batter_v down_o by_o the_o enemy_n cannon_n 5._o that_o the_o angle_n of_o the_o flank_n may_v 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 curtain_n be_v not_o above_o 135_o fathom_n nor_o the_o single_a above_o 80_o fathom_n nor_o be_v less_o than_o 40_o fathom_n to_o be_v well_o defend_v from_o two_o flank_n 7._o that_o the_o rampire_n be_v so_o wide_a that_o so_o a_o parapet_n of_o earth_n cannon-proof_n may_v be_v erect_v thereon_o and_o a_o teraplane_n leave_v full_a wide_a for_o the_o ordnance_n to_o be_v recoil_v 8._o that_o the_o mote_n or_o ditch_n be_v at_o least_o 20_o fathom_n broad_a and_o as_o deep_a as_o possible_a now_o dry_a mote_n in_o great_a city_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o other_o that_o be_v full_a of_o water_n to_o facilitate_v the_o sally_n the_o relief_n and_o retreat_n of_o the_o besiege_a and_o in_o small_a fortification_n the_o mote_n full_a of_o water_n be_v the_o most_o esteemable_a because_o in_o such_o sally_n be_v not_o necessary_a and_o supply_n be_v very_o much_o to_o be_v fear_v 9_o that_o the_o part_n that_o be_v most_o remote_a from_o the_o centre_n be_v command_v by_o those_o which_o be_v near_a to_o it_o 10._o that_o the_o defence_n of_o a_o face_n be_v much_o strong_a when_o the_o angle_n make_v by_o the_o face_n and_o exterior_a polygon_n be_v a_o great_a angle_n this_o maxim_n be_v so_o very_o essential_a that_o it_o will_v try_v the_o goodness_n of_o any_o fortification_n whatsoever_o thus_o i_o have_v describe_v the_o ten_o chief_a maxim_n necessary_a for_o good_a fortification_n plate_n i._n of_o cazemates_n before_o i_o give_v you_o the_o measure_n of_o my_o cazemate_n i_o shall_v explain_v all_o the_o part_n of_o which_o they_o be_v compose_v a_o be_v the_o wind_a pair_n of_o stair_n to_o descend_v from_o the_o rampart_n into_o the_o first_o cazemate_n which_o be_v six_o foot_n high_a above_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o mote_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o i_o call_v the_o great_a cazemate_n b_o be_v the_o great_a cazemate_n see_v in_o part_n by_o the_o besieger_n when_o they_o be_v lodge_v upon_o the_o level_n of_o
