4._o the_o preparative_a be_v to_o warn_v you_o to_o close_v your_o proportionable_a or_o due_a distance_n when_o you_o be_v to_o prepare_v for_o battle_n or_o skirmish_n and_o to_o see_v every_o

the_o word_n of_o command_n proper_a with_o their_o explanation_n and_o first_o when_o a_o troop_n or_o squadron_n be_v draw_v out_o to_o exercise_n i_o suppose_v their_o carbine_n and_o pistol_n

observe_v your_o left-hand-man_n to_o close_v the_o file_n the_o right_a wing_n file_n stand_v 1._o close_o your_o file_n 2._o to_o the_o right_n 3._o to_o the_o left_a as_o you_o be_v 4._o to_o the_o
