arithmetical_a progression_n or_o proportion_n of_o which_o the_o interval_n excess_n or_o difference_n of_o the_o term_n must_v always_o be_v two_o thus_o have_v place_v the_o first_o man_n at_o

nine_o and_o so_o forward_o still_o increase_a every_o rank_n by_o two_o man_n more_o than_o the_o rank_n which_o be_v before_o according_a to_o the_o same_o arithmetical_a progression_n which_o have_v always_o two_o for_o the_o interval_n and_o difference_n of_o the_o term_n now_o to_o place_v these_o man_n in_o due_a order_n you_o must_v imagine_v that_o the_o square_a little_a body_n acbd_v move_v off_o the_o ground_n t_o upon_o the_o left_a of_o the_o plate_n two_o fig_n 1_o battalion_n q_o and_o when_o its_o last_o rank_n ad_fw-la be_v advance_v one_o pace_n beyond_o the_o

the_o man_n of_o the_o little_a battalion_n to_o make_v a_o front_n towards_o the_o angle_n and_o when_o they_o be_v draw_v up_o according_a to_o this_o arithmetical_a progression_n you_o cause_v

for_o in_o this_o example_n i_o have_v choose_v this_o little_a number_n of_o pikeman_n to_o give_v the_o more_o light_n to_o the_o order_n and_o dispose_n of_o a_o far_o great_a number_n the_o word_n
