to_o be_v use_v but_o seldom_o except_o it_o be_v in_o necessity_n in_o such_o part_n as_o the_o ground_n will_v not_o permit_v otherwise_o therefore_o to_o avoid_v disorder_n soldier_n ought_v not_o

they_o without_o give_v of_o fire_n when_o you_o have_v get_v your_o soldier_n thus_o experiment_v in_o their_o motion_n then_o be_v you_o to_o acquaint_v they_o with_o shot_n in_o give_v of_o fire_n to_o make_v they_o fix_v against_o their_o enemy_n which_o be_v easy_o do_v have_v once_o apart_o and_o singular_o use_v their_o musket_n after_o the_o order_n of_o the_o several_a posture_n belong_v thereto_o as_o be_v command_v their_o inferior_a officer_n and_o leader_n to_o teach_v they_o before_o they_o be_v exercise_v therefore_o before_o you_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a form_n of_o

can_v best_o offend_v their_o enemy_n and_o to_o this_o effect_n you_o shall_v admonish_v in_o love_n all_o brave_a musketeer_n first_o to_o have_v their_o musket_n clear_a and_o handsome_a and_o above_o all_o fix_n in_o the_o work_n especial_o every_o soldier_n will_v be_v well_o know_v with_o his_o own_o musket_n and_o cock_n to_o cock_n aright_o then_o to_o hold_v the_o mouth_n or_o

with_o the_o enemy_n middle_a than_o your_o musketeer_n be_v in_o readiness_n your_o musket_n charge_v they_o may_v be_v command_v to_o give_v fire_n in_o skirmish_n disbandon_v as_o their_o officer_n

to_o the_o effect_n they_o may_v be_v fix_v omni_fw-la modo_fw-la though_o in_o my_o opinion_n one_o way_n be_v the_o best_a yet_o there_o be_v several_a way_n of_o give_v fire_n in_o advance_v to_o a_o enemy_n as_o retire_v from_o a_o enemy_n or_o in_o stand_v firm_a before_o a_o enemy_n either_o by_o rank_n or_o by_o file_n make_v to_o rank_n advance_v to_o a_o enemy_n not_o be_v disbandon_v
