for_o any_o order_n of_o battle_n which_o depend_v chief_o upon_o the_o circumstance_n of_o place_n and_o other_o accident_n that_o may_v happen_v yet_o i_o shall_v set_v down_o some_o which_o may_v serve_v for_o a_o example_n to_o show_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n you_o must_v then_o first_o of_o all_o command_n silence_n next_o to_o march_v very_o leisurely_o to_o observe_v the_o right_n

that_o every_o soldier_n may_v march_v at_o his_o ease_n and_o so_o charge_v and_o fire_n which_o will_v be_v effect_v if_o he_o have_v liberty_n of_o move_v his_o elbow_n as_o he_o march_v when_o
