up_o and_o turn_v behind_o their_o leader_n but_o they_o be_v mistake_v and_o conceive_v not_o right_o of_o the_o author_n from_o whence_o they_o take_v their_o instruction_n for_o this_o motion_n rather_o lose_v than_o gain_v ground_n and_o seem_v rather_o to_o retire_v than_o charge_n but_o i_o leave_v the_o reconcilement_n of_o the_o doubt_n to_o those_o of_o better_a judgement_n countermarch_v the_o next_o motion_n be_v call_v the_o macedonian_a countermarch_v but_o from_o what_o ground_n it_o be_v not_o yet_o discuss_v as_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o motion_n it_o be_v in_o this_o wise_a the_o file_n leader_n all_o turn_n about_o their_o face_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n with_o the_o bringer_n up_o go_v against_o they_o on_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n and_o pass_v on_o to_o the_o ground_n before_o the_o front_n of_o the_o battalion_n place_n themselves_o in_o order_n one_o after_o another_o according_a as_o the_o fileleader_n have_v turn_v their_o face_n make_v a_o show_n unto_o the_o enemy_n as_o if_o they_o be_v retire_v or_o run_v away_o which_o entice_v the_o enemy_n to_o pursue_v be_v of_o most_o singular_a use_n to_o make_v he_o leave_v and_o forsake_v any_o place_n or_o ground_n of_o advantage_n other_o take_v this_o motion_n to_o be_v the_o macedonian_a countermarch_v when_o the_o file-leader_n turn_v about_o his_o face_n and_o the_o rest_n pass_v by_o he_o on_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n place_n themselves_o orderly_o one_o behind_o another_o and_o here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o all_o these_o countermarche_n already_o speak_v of_o may_v as_o well_o be_v do_v by_o rank_n as_o by_o fyles_n and_o both_o to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n entire_o or_o to_o both_o by_o division_n or_o both_o by_o conversion_n as_o in_o the_o former_a example_n rank_n the_o next_o motion_n be_v the_o double_n of_o rank_n either_o to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n entire_o as_o when_o the_o second_o rank_n march_v into_o the_o first_o the_o four_o into_o the_o three_o the_o six_o into_o the_o five_o and_o the_o eight_o into_o the_o seven_o and_o this_o motion_n must_v be_v do_v very_o orderly_o begin_v with_o the_o

the_o right_a hand_n than_o they_o must_v turn_v on_o the_o left_a hand_n to_o come_v to_o their_o first_o place_n again_o and_o so_o contrary_a to_o the_o other_o as_o occasion_n shall_v serve_v or_o this_o motion_n may_v be_v do_v to_o both_o hand_n by_o division_n or_o to_o both_o hand_n by_o conversion_n and_o to_o either_o open_a order_n order_n or_o close_a order_n according_a to_o these_o example_n rank_n undouble_v rank_n double_v thus_o you_o see_v rank_n double_v and_o undouble_v now_o there_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o double_v of_o rank_n and_o that_o be_v by_o the_o middleman_n or_o half_a file_n when_o they_o advance_v and_o lead_v up_o their_o half_a file_n bring_v the_o five_o rank_n on_o which_o hand_n they_o be_v command_v be_v middleman_n to_o the_o front_n into_o the_o first_o rank_n the_o six_o into_o the_o second_o the_o seven_o into_o the_o three_o and_o the_o eight_o in-into_a the_o four_o which_o be_v middleman_n unto_o the_o rear_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o this_o example_n half_n file_n undouble_v half_n file_n double_v be_v now_o to_o reduce_v or_o bring_v these_o into_o their_o first_o place_n or_o form_n the_o half_a file_n which_o do_v ascend_v shall_v turn_v their_o face_n about_o and_o follow_v the_o rear_n or_o bringer_n up_o every_o man_n shall_v descend_v and_o come_v into_o his_o first_o place_n as_o he_o be_v before_o and_o when_o this_o body_n shall_v again_o be_v reduce_v into_o his_o first_o place_n be_v then_o shall_v the_o bringer_n up_o or_o rear_n with_o their_o half_a file_n turn_v their_o face_n about_o and_o the_o rank_n 5_o shall_v fall_v behind_o the_o rank_n 4_o the_o rank_n 6_o behind_o 5_o the_o rank_n 7_o behind_o 6_o and_o the_o rank_n 8_o be_v the_o rear_n or_o bringr_v up_o behind_o the_o rank_n 7_o and_o so_o every_o man_n be_v in_o his_o first_o place_n again_o the_o next_o motion_n unto_o these_o be_v wheel_v wheeling_n or_o turn_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o battalion_n to_o one_o or_o the_o other_o hand_n or_o entire_o round_a about_o or_o otherwise_o by_o division_n to_o wheel_v it_o to_o both_o hand_n at_o once_o either_o in_o part_n or_o else_o round_o about_o the_o general_a manner_n of_o the_o motion_n be_v thus_o first_o close_a your_o file_n to_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o your_o rank_n to_o the_o sword_n point_n then_o make_v the_o corner_n file_n leader_n to_o the_o right_a hand_n stand_v fast_o and_o then_o all_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o battalion_n to_o move_v or_o wheel_n about_o he_o as_o about_o a_o centre_n either_o half_a about_o or_o three_o part_n about_o or_o else_o whole_o and_o full_o round_a about_o now_o to_o reduce_v it_o to_o the_o first_o posture_n or_o station_n you_o shall_v command_v every_o man_n to_o turn_v his_o face_n to_o the_o left_a hand_n then_o wheel_v the_o body_n back_o again_o till_o it_o come_v to_o its_o first_o place_n and_o then_o open_a the_o rank_n downward_o and_o the_o file_n either_o to_o one_o or_o the_o other_o hand_n at_o pleasure_n as_o thus_o you_o wheel_v the_o whole_a body_n to_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o hand_n or_o entire_o round_a about_o so_o you_o may_v wheel_v it_o to_o both_o hand_n at_o once_o by_o division_n either_o in_o part_n or_o round_o about_o according_a to_o pleasure_n and_o this_o be_v of_o singular_a use_n when_o the_o horse_n shall_v come_v to_o charge_v the_o foot_n for_o by_o this_o wheel_n you_o shall_v cover_v your_o shot_n safe_a and_o leave_v your_o pike_n outmost_a to_o receive_v the_o charge_n now_o this_o wheel_n be_v to_o be_v make_v after_o a_o other_o manner_n for_o where_o before_o either_o the_o corner_n man_n of_o the_o right_a hand_n file_n or_o the_o corner_n man_n of_o the_o left_a hand_n file_n be_v to_o stand_v fast_o and_o firm_a now_o all_o shall_v move_v and_o only_o the_o middle_a man_n in_o the_o rear_n to_o the_o right_a flank_n and_o the_o middle_a man_n in_o the_o rear_n to_o the_o left_a flank_n shall_v stand_v fast_o and_o unmoved_a and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o two_o divide_v body_n shall_v move_v about_o they_o according_a to_o these_o example_n follow_v the_o battalion_n vnwheeled_a the_o battalion_n wheel_v the_o battalion_n half_o wheel_v the_o battalion_n wheel_v round_o about_o thus_o you_o have_v see_v the_o manner_n of_o wheeling_n with_o the_o several_a motion_n and_o use_v thereof_o the_o next_o motion_n whereto_o foot_n company_n ought_v to_o be_v apply_v be_v the_o cast_v off_o of_o file_n file_n or_o as_o some_o call_v it_o the_o give_v of_o fire_n by_o flank_n or_o in_o the_o flank_n and_o this_o motion_n of_o cast_v of_o file_n be_v do_v diverse_a way_n as_o first_o in_o flank_n then_o in_o wing_n and_o last_o before_o the_o front_n if_o you_o cast_v off_o file_n in_o flank_n to_o the_o right_a hand_n than_o the_o right_a hand_n file_v be_v ready_a to_o give_v fire_n stand_v still_o till_o the_o body_n of_o the_o battalion_n be_v march_v so_o far_o forward_o that_o the_o rear_n or_o bringer_n up_o become_v even_o with_o the_o leader_n of_o the_o right_a hand_n file_n then_o that_o file_n so_o stand_v and_o prepare_v give_v fire_n altogether_o then_o present_o march_v up_o between_o the_o outmost_a file_n of_o pike_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o the_o inmost_a file_n of_o shot_n then_o the_o second_o file_n of_o shot_n as_o the_o first_o do_v stand_v still_o till_o the_o body_n be_v march_v by_o and_o then_o give_v their_o volley_n and_o then_o march_v up_o as_o they_o first_o do_v between_o the_o outmost_a file_n of_o pike_n and_o the_o inmost_a file_n of_o shot_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o thus_o successive_o every_o file_n of_o shot_n give_v their_o volley_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o that_o right_a wing_n which_o do_v wheel_n the_o whole_a body_n about_o and_o bring_v the_o left_a wing_n to_o do_v as_o much_o as_o the_o right_a wing_n and_o so_o wing_n after_o wing_n according_a to_o pleasure_n and_o this_o manner_n of_o cast_v of_o file_n in_o flank_n be_v of_o excellent_a use_n for_o the_o beat_n of_o pace_n in_o wood_n or_o bog_n also_o for_o the_o mayntain_n of_o straight_a and_o narrow_a way_n for_o defence_n of_o bridge_n and_o the_o like_a and_o that_o you_o may_v have_v a_o better_a understanding_n therein_o behold_v the_o figure_n follow_v file_n cast_v off_o in_o flank_n to_o the_o right_a
