as_o thus_o to_o march_v in_o a_o whole_a body_n be_v a_o work_n of_o quick_a dispatch_n by_o three_o part_n of_o four_o then_o to_o march_v in_o four_o several_a body_n or_o quarter_n rank_n as_o the_o author_n order_v the_o pike_n to_o do_v before_o they_o join_v the_o musketeer_n secondlie_o a_o body_n great_a or_o small_a will_v twice_o as_o soon_o march_v twenty_o pace_n in_o a_o

of_o musket_n and_o must_v march_v to_o the_o left_a hand_n of_o they_o now_o the_o author_n in_o this_o section_n say_v without_o lose_v time_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o i_o propose_v a_o way_n that_o lose_v less_o time_n than_o this_o way_n of_o he_o thirdlie_o i_o say_v the_o battaillon_n of_o musket_n stand_v in_o one_o body_n and_o the_o pike_n in_o another_o twenty_o pace_n behind_o the_o other_o as_o the_o author_n appoint_v they_o to_o be_v the_o pike_n may_v be_v receive_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o battaillon_n of_o musket_n with_o much_o less_o trouble_n and_o embarras_n then_o by_o the_o way_n prescriud_v by_o the_o author_n thus_o let_v the_o demirank_n of_o the_o battaillon_n of_o musket_n face_n and_o march_v to_o the_o left_a hand_n leave_v the_o right_a demirank_n stand_v firm_a and_o so_o make_v a_o interval_n this_o be_v do_v without_o any_o embarras_n at_o all_o nixt_v let_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o pike_n advance_v at_o one_o time_n and_o take_v up_o that_o interval_n and_o this_o be_v likewise_o do_v without_o any_o embarras_n thirdlie_o the_o demirank_a of_o musket_n which_o do_v face_n and_o march_v to_o the_o left_a hand_n be_v command_v to_o face_n as_o they_o be_v do_v it_o also_o without_o any_o embarras_n at_o all_o bot_n when_o the_o pike_n that_o stand_v on_o the_o left_a hand_n of_o the_o whole_a battaillon_n of_o musket_n and_o the_o left_a demirank_n of_o the_o musket_n be_v order_v to_o face_n one_o to_o another_o and_o then_o by_o a_o countermarch_v to_o take_v up_o one_o another_o ground_n there_o will_v be_v some_o shoulder_n some_o justle_a and_o some_o clash_n of_o arm_n even_o among_o the_o best_a train_a soldier_n and_o that_o i_o call_v embarras_n the_o french_a king_n officer_n be_v oblige_v by_o this_o section_n to_o marshal_v their_o regiment_n according_a to_o its_o prescription_n and_o no_o other_o way_n bot_n these_o officer_n &_o drill-master_n who_o receive_v no_o french_a pay_n may_v try_v either_o this_o way_n of_o the_o author_n or_o the_o good_a old_a way_n or_o a_o three_o if_o they_o please_v and_o then_o retain_v any_o of_o they_o they_o find_v most_o convenient_a for_o themselves_o and_o most_o easy_a for_o their_o soldier_n last_o this_o author_n require_v a_o sergeant_n to_o be_v at_o the_o wing_n of_o each_o division_n to_o prevent_v their_o falsify_v observe_v here_o that_o a_o regiment_n stand_v in_o battle_n there_o be_v two_o division_n of_o musket_n and_o one_o of_o pike_n two_o sergeant_n be_v require_v to_o attend_v each_o division_n will_v be_v six_o that_o be_v appoint_v for_o that_o duty_n in_o my_o observation_n upon_o the_o nixt_a section_n we_o shall_v see_v how_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o sergeant_n be_v dispose_v of_o french_z author_n when_o a_o battaillon_n be_v form_v the_o first_o lieutenant_n shall_v stand_v in_o the_o rear_n of_o the_o first_o division_n of_o musket_n and_o the_o last_o in_o the_o rear_n of_o the_o last_o division_n a_o ensigney_n in_o the_o rear_n of_o the_o pike_n with_o one_o half_a of_o the_o sergeant_n to_o hinder_v the_o soldier_n from_o disperse_v or_o break_v their_o rank_n animadversion_n i_o never_o have_v so_o strong_a a_o conceit_n of_o the_o usefulness_n of_o a_o lieutenant_n in_o a_o company_n or_o a_o lieutenant_n colonel_n in_o a_o regiment_n that_o i_o need_v care_n where_o this_o french_a gentleman_n place_n the_o lieutenant_n whether_o with_o the_o pike_n or_o the_o musket_n in_o the_o front_n or_o the_o rear_n nor_o shall_v i_o be_v much_o trouble_v if_o in_o imitation_n of_o a_o wise_a and_o a_o warlike_a nation_n he_o shall_v banish_v they_o for_o ever_o out_o of_o all_o his_o battaillon_n bot_n indeed_o i_o be_o astonish_v to_o fee_v he_o make_v lieutenant_n ubiquitary_n for_o in_o the_o six_o section_n of_o the_o way_n to_o form_v a_o battaillon_n as_o i_o have_v observe_v he_o appoint_v the_o lieutenant_n to_o be_v in_o the_o rear_n of_o the_o pike_n if_o there_o be_v ensigney_n and_o in_o the_o front_n of_o the_o pike_n if_o there_o be_v no_o ensigney_n and_o consequent_o still_o with_o the_o pike_n either_o in_o front_n or_o rear_v whether_o there_o be_v ensigney_n or_o not_o now_o in_o this_o section_n which_o i_o last_o cite_v he_o order_v one_o of_o the_o lieutenant_n to_o be_v in_o the_o rear_n of_o the_o first_o division_n of_o musket_n and_o another_o lieutenant_n to_o be_v in_o the_o rear_n of_o the_o second_o division_n of_o musket_n can_v two_o lieutenant_n be_v with_o the_o musket_n if_o all_o the_o lieutenant_n be_v with_o the_o pike_n unless_o a_o lieutenant_n can_v be_v in_o two_o place_n at_o

one_o time_n if_o it_o be_v say_v the_o lieutenant_n be_v to_o be_v with_o the_o pike_n when_o the_o battaillon_n be_v form_v bot_n when_o it_o be_v form_v they_o may_v be_v otherwise_o dispose_v of_o to_o shun_v contest_v i_o be_o content_a to_o be_v so_o charitable_a though_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n for_o it_o to_o believe_v the_o author_n mean_v so_o bot_n than_o i_o say_v why_o take_v he_o so_o much_o notice_n of_o the_o first_o and_o last_o lieutenant_n and_o tell_v we_o nothing_o where_o the_o rest_n of_o they_o shall_v have_v their_o station_n whether_o still_o with_o the_o pike_n which_o most_o probable_o he_o mean_v or_o some_o more_o of_o they_o then_o two_o with_o the_o musket_n which_o most_o rationallie_o he_o shall_v have_v mean_v or_o that_o he_o leave_v the_o rest_n except_o these_o two_o to_o be_v individua_fw-la vaga_fw-la to_o wander_v where_o they_o please_v and_o indeed_o though_o he_o do_v so_o with_o all_o of_o they_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o shall_v not_o fall_v out_o with_o he_o for_o the_o matter_n in_o the_o nixt_a place_n i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v remember_v that_o in_o the_o eight_o section_n of_o the_o way_n to_o form_n battaillon_n the_o author_n require_v a_o sergeant_n to_o be_v at_o the_o wing_n of_o each_o division_n which_o in_o my_o animadversion_n on_o that_o section_n i_o reckon_v to_o be_v six_o in_o this_o section_n he_o require_v the_o half_a of_o the_o sergeant_n to_o be_v with_o a_o ensigney_n in_o the_o rear_n of_o the_o pike_n now_o let_v we_o suppose_v there_o be_v in_o one_o regiment_n ten_o company_n these_o have_v twenty_o sergeant_n allow_v they_o of_o these_o the_o author_n take_v the_o half_a to_o wit_v ten_o and_o place_v they_o in_o the_o rear_n of_o the_o pike_n and_o six_o on_o the_o wing_n of_o three_o division_n this_o be_v in_o all_o six_o teen_n there_o remain_v then_o bot_n four_o of_o the_o twenty_o to_o attend_v the_o rear_n of_o the_o musketeer_n which_o be_v twice_o as_o numerous_a as_o the_o pike_n make_v this_o division_n of_o the_o station_n of_o sergeant_n very_o disproportionable_a sergeant_n former_o be_v oblige_v only_o to_o attend_v the_o wing_n bot_n if_o the_o author_n do_v allow_v as_o he_o do_v sergeant_n to_o be_v in_o the_o rear_n as_o well_o as_o on_o the_o wing_n i_o shall_v agree_v with_o he_o for_o i_o have_v oft_o wonder_v why_o so_o necessare_fw-la a_o officer_n as_o a_o sergeant_n shall_v be_v pin_v to_o the_o flank_n as_o i_o have_v see_v too_o oft_o practise_v bot_n i_o will_v still_o dissent_v from_o he_o in_o allow_v so_o many_o sergeant_n for_o the_o rear_n of_o the_o pike_n and_o so_o few_o for_o the_o rear_n of_o the_o musket_n till_o he_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o pikeman_n may_v break_v their_o rank_n bot_n musketeer_n can_v french_a author_n the_o drum_n shall_v be_v place_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o the_o left_a animadversion_n if_o he_o mean_v on_o the_o right_n and_o left_a hand_n of_o the_o whole_a battaillon_n or_o regiment_n i_o will_v glad_o know_v what_o they_o shall_v do_v there_o i_o shall_v think_v it_o most_o consonant_a to_o reason_n not_o to_o speak_v of_o practice_n that_o when_o a_o battaillon_n brigad_n or_o regiment_n be_v form_v every_o officer_n among_o who_o drummer_n ordinarlie_o be_v reckon_v shall_v have_v his_o station_n assign_v he_o in_o that_o place_n where_o he_o can_v do_v best_a service_n whether_o they_o be_v to_o fight_v or_o to_o march_v bot_n to_o what_o use_n drum_n shall_v serve_v either_o on_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n of_o the_o whole_a battaillon_n and_o in_o no_o other_o place_n when_o they_o be_v either_o to_o fight_v or_o to_o march_v be_v a_o thing_n not_o so_o easy_o understand_v bot_n if_o the_o author_n mean_v that_o drum_n shall_v be_v place_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o the_o left_a only_o so_o long_o as_o the_o battaillon_n be_v exercise_v i_o say_v he_o be_v oblige_v to_o tell_v we_o at_o what_o distance_n on_o the_o right_n and_o left_a hand_n the_o drum_n shall_v have_v their_o station_n for_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o french_a drill-master_n will_v confess_v that_o there_o be_v some_o motion_n of_o exercise_n which_o will_v not_o suffer_v either_o drummer_n or_o other_o people_n to_o be_v within_o a_o great_a distance_n of_o either_o right_a or_o left_a hand_n of_o the_o whole_a battaillon_n as_o when_o half_a file_n be_v command_v either_o by_o half_a file-leader_n or_o bringer_n up_o of_o whole_a file_n to_o double_v the_o front_n of_o the_o battaillon_n entire_a or_o to_o the_o right_n and_o left_a hand_n by_o division_n when_o this_o word_n of_o command_n be_v obey_v the_o battaillon_n possess_v in_o front_n twice_o as_o much_o ground_n as_o it_o do_v before_o bot_n these_o half_a file_n can_v not_o perform_v this_o till_o they_o chase_v the_o drum_n a_o great_a way_n from_o both_o the_o right_n and_o left_a wing_n of_o the_o battaillon_n bot_n before_o i_o part_v with_o this_o head_n of_o form_v a_o battaillon_n i_o shall_v take_v leave_n to_o say_v that_o i_o conceive_v the_o author_n have_v not_o say_v so_o much_o on_o it_o as_o he_o may_v at_o least_o not_o so_o much_o as_o he_o sell_v and_o consequent_o that_o his_o rule_n concern_v it_o be_v defective_a and_o because_o i_o be_o oblige_v to_o give_v reason_n for_o my_o opinion_n i_o offer_v these_o first_o he_o have_v not_o tell_v we_o what_o company_n shall_v have_v the_o precedency_n of_o another_o that_o be_v where_o the_o lieutenant_n colonel_n musketeer_n and_o pike_n shall_v stand_v for_o i_o suppose_v he_o allow_v the_o colonel_n the_o right_a hand_n where_o the_o major_n where_o the_o old_a captain_n where_o the_o young_a and_o where_o the_o rest_n that_o every_o one_o of_o they_o may_v have_v their_o due_a according_a to_o their_o priority_n this_o be_v a_o point_n wherein_o there_o be_v neither_o custom_n nor_o law_n of_o war_n universallie_o observe_v it_o be_v variable_a according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o prince_n or_o state_n who_o wage_v the_o war_n or_o of_o their_o general_n who_o mannage_v it_o secondlie_o he_o have_v not_o assign_v to_o every_o officer_n belong_v to_o the_o

of_o these_o two_o point_n because_o they_o be_v know_v in_o the_o french_a army_n for_o by_o that_o reason_n he_o may_v have_v hold_v his_o peace_n of_o very_o many_o thing_n mention_v by_o he_o in_o

it_o be_v very_o proper_a and_o convenient_a that_o every_o company_n be_v place_v according_a to_o its_o priority_n and_o every_o officer_n have_v his_o station_n assign_v he_o according_a to_o his_o
