place_v on_o the_o wing_n of_o the_o battaillon_n by_o the_o follow_a command_n take_v care_n halberdier_n to_o form_v your_o file_n on_o the_o wing_n of_o your_o battaillon_n to_o the_o right_n and_o

many_o motion_n many_o old_a and_o many_o new_a to_o repeat_v most_o of_o they_o except_o double_v by_o quarter_n rank_n &_o quarter_n file_n in_o the_o particular_a exercise_n of_o the_o foot_n can_v be_v do_v as_o i_o conjecture_v for_o no_o other_o reason_n bot_n that_o in_o the_o first_o he_o give_v we_o these_o he_o think_v most_o convenient_a and_o in_o the_o second_o these_o he_o conceive_v most_o necessare_fw-la bot_n why_o either_o the_o one_o or_o other_o let_v we_o a_o little_a examine_v to_o place_v some_o file_n of_o halberdier_n or_o pertisaner_n on_o the_o flank_n of_o the_o musketeer_n be_v no_o doubt_n of_o excellent_a use_n for_o in_o our_o ordinary_a battaillon_n the_o fireman_n lie_v open_a on_o their_o wing_n to_o the_o impression_n of_o any_o cavallerie_n

within_o reach_v of_o their_o halberd_n bot_n i_o think_v he_o be_v more_o to_o blame_v for_o not_o tell_v we_o how_o many_o file_n of_o these_o halberdier_n be_v needful_a nor_o can_v he_o be_v excuse_v for_o give_v command_n to_o draw_v out_o the_o file_n of_o halberdier_n to_o be_v place_v on_o the_o wing_n of_o the_o battaillon_n without_o tell_v we_o from_o whence_o or_o from_o what_o place_n they_o shall_v be_v draw_v we_o know_v not_o for_o any_o thing_n he_o say_v where_o these_o halberdier_n be_v bot_n since_o he_o permit_v we_o to_o guess_v i_o conjecture_v that_o at_o first_o they_o must_v be_v with_o the_o body_n of_o the_o pike_n if_o so_o may_v it_o not_o be_v ask_v whether_o pikeman_n will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n as_o well_o and_o if_o that_o be_v grant_v and_o the_o number_n of_o the_o file_n condescend_v on_o they_o may_v be_v send_v from_o the_o body_n to_o the_o wing_n by_o two_o command_n first_o so_o many_o file_n of_o pike_n face_n to_o the_o right_n

take_v heed_n to_o yourselves_o in_o open_v your_o file_n that_o the_o right_a hand_n file_n stir_v not_o to_o the_o left_a open_a your_o file_n to_o three_o foot_n distance_n march_n halt_n to_o the_o right_n animadversion_n when_o the_o halberdier_n have_v take_v their_o ground_n on_o the_o wing_n must_v the_o file_n of_o the_o battaillon_n open_a for_o what_o reason_n to_o what_o purpose_n i_o will_v have_v think_v that_o the_o file_n of_o halberdier_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o body_n to_o the_o wing_n have_v leave_v a_o void_a place_n which_o be_v necessare_fw-la to_o fill_v up_o by_o close_v the_o file_n bot_n the_o open_v they_o be_v a_o mystery_n and_o a_o great_a mystery_n to_o i_o it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v command_v to_o open_v to_o three_o foot_n of_o distance_n at_o what_o distance_n be_v they_o before_o perhaps_o at_o close_a order_n which_o ordinary_o be_v reckon_v to_o be_v one_o foot_n and_o a_o half_a bot_n this_o will_v not_o satisfy_v those_o who_o stand_v strong_o for_o all_o the_o author_n say_v in_o regard_n neither_o he_o nor_o they_o will_v be_v govern_v according_a to_o ancient_a custom_n &_o therefore_o i_o must_v come_v close_o up_o to_o both_o he_o and_o they_o &_o say_v the_o file_n can_v not_o be_v at_o one_o foot_n &_o a_o half_a distance_n because_o the_o author_n order_v they_o to_o be_v at_o 3._o foot_n distance_n in_o the_o four_o section_n of_o form_v his_o battaillon_n where_o he_o have_v these_o express_a word_n the_o major_a or_o adjutant_n must_v observe_v that_o the_o distance_n of_o file_n when_o they_o be_v not_o exercise_v be_v only_o half_a a_o pace_n distance_n bot_n when_o they_o come_v to_o handle_v their_o arm_n or_o doubling_n they_o must_v open_v to_o a_o whole_a pace_n this_o shall_v not_o be_v

they_o to_o have_v be_v at_o a_o close_a order_n and_o this_o in_o the_o section_n cite_v by_o i_o he_o do_v not_o at_o all_o admit_v that_o by_o a_o pace_n be_v mean_v six_o foot_n be_v clear_a by_o the_o translator_n who_o in_o this_o section_n interpret_v that_o which_o the_o author_n in_o french_a call_v half_o a_o pace_n to_o be_v three_o foot_n now_o how_o file_v who_o be_v at_o no_o close_a
