there_o be_v usual_o observe_v in_o this_o six_o point_n which_o be_v call_v point_n of_o war_n and_o be_v say_v to_o be_v semi-vocal_a because_o by_o they_o the_o soldier_n understand_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v and_o can_v distinguish_v their_o duty_n and_o exercise_n and_o of_o these_o in_o their_o order_n 1._o the_o call_n this_o be_v to_o summon_v the_o soldier_n together_o to_o their_o

you_o hear_v this_o you_o must_v betake_v you_o to_o your_o open_a order_n in_o rank_n shoulder_v both_o musket_n and_o pike_n and_o so_o as_o the_o drum_n beat_v you_o march_v slow_a or_o quick_a 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
