we shall bee O pinion of the minde are like diseases of the body all alike infinite V iolent passions makes men bandy controversies who fight with their Pens like Souldiers with their Pikes wounding the peace of the Church R eligion is more practicall then theoriticall rather an occupation then a meer profession dwelling like an Artizan wit at singers end O ne man is an Atheist and beleeves no God another is an I dolater and worships many one will be of a new Religion another of none no matter to the Devill they are both travelling towards his kingdome Roome never means us so sudden a storm as when she makes faire weather and beares us in hand all is peace D ogs are fawning but sicophantising Iesuits are worse for their tongues doe more harme then their teeth E very man that will not adhere to the God of truth shall be turned over to the faither of lies R esist the Devill and he will flye from thee give to God obedience to thy Prince allegiance to superiours reverence to the weak assistance to the Devill and sin resistance O ur day is broken why day we sleep in sin when the Sunne is up good husbands thinke of rising the slumber of the body and the soul is not much unlike R epent therefore in life that thou maiest finde comfort in death that thou maiest be acquitted at the day of judgement of Jesus Christ O ur entrance into this world is full of weaknesse our proceeding full of wickednesse our departure full of wretchednesse P ray that you may leave the earth when you know the way perfectly to heaven desire to live till you are inspired by grace desire to dye when you are assured of glory E very man with Paul learne to dye daily for no man knows when he shall dye therefore be evermore armed with expectation N ever expect peace without Christ whosoever dyes in peace dyes in Christ the Prince of peace O ur breath is in our bodies the life of our soules is in heaven our bodies move upon earth let our heart dwell in heaven R ighteousnesse must dwell in those that looke to dwell in heaven where righteousnesse dwelleth for Christ is the Lord of righteousnesse D eath takes the clocke of our life asunder but then the omnipotent Maker takes it into his owne hand and sets it together againe at the Resurrection E nquire not what heaven is too curiously lest thou have a snib as Manoah had for asking the Angels name it is secret and wonderfull R emember Gods mercies and blessings to us in all times of this pilgrimage and he will hear us when we pray with the penitent theefe Lordremember us in thy Kingdome Silence STand right in your Files Stand right in

distance If in Ranks the first standing the second opens backwards to either of the distances above said and not forwards in closing of Ranks it is to be done forwards and not backwards all moving together saving the first Ranks In facings you are to be sure to keepe your left foot on the groundâ—s in doublings if you come up to the right turne off to the left and so alway to the contrary hand In wheelings if you close to the left then wheel to the right or if you close to the right wheel to the left or you may wheel upon the Center According to my intended purpose I shall adde to the exercise of the Pike and Musket in the briefest manner being only what shall belong to present service and first for the Pike in all standing postures of the Pike keep your left foot fast fixt upon the ground in all marching postures move with the left foot advancing forward 1 Advance your Pikes 2 Order your Pikes 3 Shoulder your Pikes 4 Port your Pikes 5 Advance your Pikes 6 Shoulder your Pikes

All these in service are reduced into these three words Make ready With these two added either Shoulder your Muskets Present Or Give fire Order your Muskets T he postures of arming and disarming according to my intention of brevity is needlesse to be here inserted they having been sufficiently written of by your Trained Band teachers I shall but only present you further with what firings are necessary for our present service out of a single Company or Regiment wishing heartily all noble Captaines and their officers would conforme themselves to these brief rules using no other words of Command then what are here used Y our single Company being drawne up Regiment wise at three foot distance being your order and your Pikes all shouldered the manner of firing to the Front is first let the two first Ranks making ready advance 8 or 10 paces from the Body the rest of the Ranks marching to the front of Pikes which two Ranks having presented and fired one after another let them march off to the right and left hand the next two ranks doing the same with the rest successively as long as you please when you draw near to your Enemy or by way of supposition charge over your Pikes three ranks deep and the rest ported following the charge T o fire from the reare first command your Body to advance their Pikes then face them about to the right or left and then shoulder your Pikes againe moving your Body command the two last Ranks to make ready being ready command the last Ranke to the Rear present who is to turn to the right hand and give fire and so turning up to the right and left advanceth into Front placing themselves before their Leaders the rest of the Ranks doing the same successively one after another T o fire from your right and left stanks command the right and left hand file to make ready which done marching your Body command them to present to the right and left and so give fire which being done let the files stand and charge their Muskets again by which time the two next files wil have performed the like who are also in like manner to stand facing toward their Commander and the first file is immediately to march up to the second the next files having done the like are to stand the first and second file advancing up to them and so of all the rest successively making up your Body again with all speed that may be T here is sometimes another firing used standing whereby an Enemy may receive suddenly a very hot charge when you are retreating command your Body to face about to the right or left and then let them all make ready which done standing let the first Ranke fire and fall off into the Reare and so the rest of them in like maner successively one after another your Pikes retreating back as your body loseth ground Y ou are to use your endeavour to bring your souldiers to know the severall notes of a Drum and what he is to performe upon the hearing of them your Pikemen being to be shouldered upon the beat of a march and advanced upon the beat of a troop This thing perfected will be sufficient for our present service to which God give 〈◊〉 FINIS
intended mischiefe O ppinionate wisdome is in a manner the sole cause of all folly for it transports a man with an imagination of his owne knowledge that he runs into error with confidence T hey that will walke to Christ shall have Christ walke with them for he is the truth the way and the life H ee that beleeves will keep the Commandements for as the Law sends us to Christ to be saved so Christ sends us backe againe to the Law to learne obedience E very Scribe instructed unto the Kingdome of heaaen brings out of his treasure things new and old the new before the old because the Gospel was promised before the Law was Printed R econciliation and the peace that was made between God and man did not stretch so far as to conclude a peace between God and sin I am a sinner therefore God hath from everlasting rejected me is a desperate conclusion I beleeue in Christ and endeavour to live like a Christian therefore am chosen is a sound inference so far God gives leave to looke into the booke of life G ods informer is conscience a spy in the soule mixing herselfe with all our thoughts and actions H ee that hopes for a new heaven above and does not become a new creature below that mans expectation is in vaine T he highest act of a Christian is to comfort himselfe in Christ he never fell from us we are basely unthankfull if ever we fall from him H ee that knowes God and lives in evill is no better then a devill in the shape of a man or a man in the shape of a devill A s no place can content the fire but the upmost rising towards its owne region so let no knowledge satisfie us but the knowledge of Christ N atural men perceive not the things of Gods Spirit in other knowledge the righteous have part with sinners but in this sinners have no part with the righteous let me be weake in policie so I be wise of salvation D ivine knowledge mounts aloft and findâ—s no rest but in the region of immortality C elsitude of honour is a meer dwarfe to faith that can but command mortalls faith is attended by Angels O ur faith hath need of a good foundation for it is an heavy and weighty building all other vertues lye upon faith U nbeleeving sinners tremble but let such feare to dye as have no hope to dye if we have made our peace with God we shall escape from death N o man can take Christ from thee unlesse thou take thy selfe first from Christ T he Gospell is no weake thing but comes in power for Christ hath a further latitude he came once unto men but he comes still into man E xcept a man be borne he can never see light on earth and except he be twice borne he can never see light in heaven R edemption by Christ hath stated us into a blessednesse never to be forgotten for no soule that Christ hath truly bought can ever perish M ans sinnes have made heavens entrance narrow but Christs sufferings have made it wide A little faith with knowledge is true and saving but great presumption with ignorance is damnable R eligion knows no outward calling or condition for all those that are in Christ are holy beleeving brethren C ertainly if men beleeved in Christ they would not nay could not speak not look upon his workes without great reverence H ee that trusts his salvation on a strange faith erres in darknesse and holds not the way which the light of the Gospell directs him T he Gospell speaks of Christ buying Ye are bought with a price to fell that which is bought is to crosse his proceeding O f all purchases buy Jesus for be thou never so poore Christ will sell himselfe for thy soule T he life of man is pretious in the sight of God but the life of his whole Church is far more pretious H ee that cares not for any mirth but that which must grieve the Holy Ghost must needs procure that peace which is at wars with Christ E very man thinks he loves himselfe better then his enemy but while hee loves sin he loves his enemy better then himselfe L et the servants that are under the yoke count their owne master worthy of all honour that the name of God and his doctine be not blasphemed E very action that gives way to Gods dishonour and heartens others to superstition is a deniall of Christ in some degree of fact F alse Prophets intrude amongst the people but principally amongst the people of God T he Devill is a false Prophet he calls evill good and promiseth bad attempts good events either he conceales the end from the way or the way from the end H earken not to the world for it is a false Prophet it tells you your gold shall make you rich when it rather makes you cursed A n Infidell perswades himselfe there shall be no reckoning day and an Epicure dreames of no future life false for the Lord will take them away in a whirlewind N atures colours will last if not artificiall shall say pride to the beautifull false Art shall make a foole of Nature Time make a foole of Art and Death make a foole of all D runkards prophesie to morrow shall be as to day and much more abundant false awake and howle Oye drunkards for the wine is cut off from your mouths C arnall mindes hope and saie I will be sure to repent false thousands are in hell that promised themselves this evasion neither hath any man a patent of repentance O ur ambitious men flatter themselves saying we will arise out of the dust and sit with Princes false for they shall fall from the throne to the dust V anity and worldly pleasure saies I am a Queen and shall see no mournfulnesse false for the day of lamentation is come N aturall men are moles to spirituall objects but wise and regenerate eyes can pierce the heavens and espy God in all his earthly occurrences T he flesh is a false Prophet every affected sin is a false Prophet to the soul for falshood if it cannot deceive another it will deceive if selfe E very man sayes he is in Gods favour so were the children of Israell till they were tempted by false Prophets and sinned R ighteousnesse is the life of all lives without which our bodies shall rot in the dust and our memories stinke above ground yea our selves perish in the lowest pit M any will be in the Church way the road of profession not for any love they bear to devotion but that the sent of their turpitudes may not bee discovered A ll ungodlinesse robs God of his honour and is either the true worship of a false god or the false worship of the true God or the true worship of the true God with a false heart R hetoricke is the art of speaking well Logicke the art of disputing well Magistracie the art
