admonish_v your_o soldier_n that_o at_o the_o tuck_n of_o your_o drum_n they_o run_v from_o their_o arm_n about_o the_o holbert_n and_o to_o stay_v there_o till_o the_o drum_n recall_v they_o again_o to_o their_o arm_n which_o be_v do_v it_o make_v the_o soldier_n able_a in_o breath_n to_o know_v one_o another_o place_n in_o case_n they_o shall_v be_v bring_v at_o any_o time_n in_o disorder_n to_o

be_v easy_o do_v have_v once_o apart_o and_o singular_o use_v their_o musket_n after_o the_o order_n of_o the_o several_a posture_n belong_v thereto_o as_o be_v command_v their_o inferior_a officer_n and_o leader_n to_o teach_v they_o before_o they_o be_v exercise_v therefore_o before_o you_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a form_n of_o give_v fire_n you_o shall_v first_o give_v some_o general_a

though_o in_o my_o opinion_n one_o way_n be_v the_o best_a yet_o there_o be_v several_a way_n of_o give_v fire_n in_o advance_v to_o a_o enemy_n as_o retire_v from_o a_o enemy_n or_o in_o stand_v
