therefore_o a_o more_o useful_a practice_n have_v be_v to_o order_v the_o first_o rank_n only_o to_o give_v their_o volley_n and_o if_o the_o body_n of_o the_o company_n march_v than_o that_o rank_n that_o have_v give_v the_o volley_n to_o stand_v and_o the_o second_o rank_n to_o pass_v through_o it_o and_o to_o give_v their_o volley_n and_o then_o they_o to_o stand_v and_o then_o the_o three_o rank_n to_o advance_v and_o give_v fire_n and_o so_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o rank_n in_o order_n but_o if_o the_o company_n or_o brigade_n or_o battaglia_n stand_v firm_a than_o the_o first_o

man_n be_v command_v man_n the_o volley_n may_v be_v continue_v and_o the_o enemy_n never_o free_a from_o annoyance_n and_o all_o this_o be_v easy_o perform_v if_o at_o the_o first_o all_o the_o

three_o rank_n stand_v upright_o to_o give_v their_o volley_n over_o all_o their_o head_n and_o this_o to_o be_v do_v at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n and_o course_n be_v
