may_v work_v with_o the_o more_o safety_n as_o you_o see_v by_o these_o fix_v battery_n note_v in_o the_o figure_n 153_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o approach_n upon_o good_a ground_n we_o have_v divide_v the_o approach_n which_o run_v in_o a_o right_a line_n into_o three_o sort_n the_o first_o be_v in_o a_o narrow_a way_n a_o earth_n which_o may_v be_v spit_v out_o somewhat_o deep_a and_o yet_o nevertheless_o without_o turn_n and_o traverse_n the_o other_o be_v when_o you_o can_v dig_v into_o the_o earth_n but_o there_o be_v or_o you_o shall_v have_v water_n present_o as_o happen_v in_o low_a and_o moorish_a ground_n the_o second_o example_n when_o you_o be_v to_o approach_v unto_o a_o fortress_n in_o a_o right_a line_n and_o that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o way_n through_o which_o you_o be_v to_o carry_v your_o approach_n be_v of_o such_o a_o condition_n that_o you_o can_v dig_v into_o the_o earth_n with_o spade_n than_o you_o must_v do_v as_o be_v show_v in_o the_o figure_n 154_o where_o they_o be_v cover_v with_o earth_n both_o on_o side_n and_o be_v make_v a_o little_a deep_o than_o ordinary_a approach_n now_o see_v the_o danger_n be_v great_a in_o this_o kind_n then_o in_o the_o first_o and_o that_o a_o right_a line_n cause_v you_o to_o be_v continual_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o a_o enemy_n you_o must_v prevent_v and_o avoid_v that_o danger_n by_o

row_n of_o gabion_n which_o sometime_o have_v earth_n cast_v about_o they_o the_o breadth_n of_o such_o approach_n be_v from_o 4_o to_o 8_o rod_n as_o the_o place_n be_v narrow_a or_o broad_a and_o as_o necessity_n and_o danger_n require_v but_o the_o ordinary_a breadth_n be_v no_o more_o but_o four_o or_o five_o rod_n one_o must_v have_v also_o a_o care_n that_o one_o traverse_n end_v there_o where_o another_o begin_v to_o wit_n there_o where_o a_o alley_n be_v leave_v the_o like_a manner_n of_o approach_n be_v make_v at_o the_o siege_n of_o the_o bosch_n on_o count_n ernest_n his_o side_n

where_o one_o can_v dig_v the_o earth_n because_o of_o stone_n the_o four_o example_n again_o you_o meet_v sometime_o with_o a_o foundation_n which_o one_o can_v pass_v through_o dryshod_a and_o can_v get_v deep_a enough_o into_o the_o earth_n but_o one_o be_v force_v to_o approach_v in_o that_o manner_n as_o be_v represent_v in_o the_o figure_n 156_o in_o take_v the_o near_a way_n which_o may_v be_v to_o approach_v unto_o the_o fortress_n and_o the_o approach_n be_v make_v of_o that_o earth_n which_o be_v dig_v about_o it_o in_o stead_n of_o set_v up_o of_o gabion_n and_o as_o in_o the_o former_a approach_n the_o traverse_n and_o blind_v be_v make_v of_o gabion_n so_o here_o they_o be_v make_v with_o whole_a redoubt_n in_o the_o midst_n whereof_o there_o be_v a_o gape_v or_o a_o
