the_o pain_n to_o be_v a_o good_a musketty_a certain_o can_v be_v idle_a but_o have_v gain_v something_o more_o to_o make_v he_o capable_a of_o such_o praise_n to_o conclude_v i_o shall_v desire_v

the_o right_a foot_n your_o pike_n in_o the_o left_a hand_n draw_v your_o sword_n over_o your_o left_a arm_n charge_v to_o the_o front_n right_o flank_n leave_v flank_n reer_n order_v your_o pike_n and_o put_v up_o your_o sword_n this_o way_n of_o charge_v to_o the_o horse_n i_o have_v set_v down_o as_o be_v practise_v sometime_o among_o we_o in_o our_o private_a meeting_n but_o i_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v of_o little_a use_n to_o receive_v a_o desperate_a charge_n of_o the_o horse_n for_o by_o these_o charge_v the_o soldier_n be_v in_o so_o lame_a and_o weak_a a_o posture_n that_o the_o horse_n can_v choose_v if_o they_o come_v on_o with_o a_o full_a career_n but_o beat_v the_o pike_n and_o pike-man_n down_o to_o the_o ground_n therefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n the_o best_a way_n of_o oppose_v the_o horse-charge_n be_v that_o which_o we_o learn_v of_o our_o ever-honoured_a captain_n major_a henry_n tillier_n in_o the_o military_a garden_n which_o be_v file_n close_v to_o the_o

their_o rank_n forward_o so_o close_o that_o they_o lock_v themselves_o one_o within_o another_o and_o then_o charge_v on_o which_o in_o my_o judgement_n be_v so_o secure_a a_o way_n from_o rout_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o body_n of_o horse_n to_o enter_v therein_o and_o far_o to_o my_o best_a remembrance_n i_o never_o can_v meet_v with_o any_o soldier_n that_o have_v be_v a_o broad_a upon_o any_o service_n that_o ever_o see_v any_o charge_v of_o the_o pike_n at_o the_o foot_n therefore_o i_o will_v further_o proceed_v from_o order_n advance_v shoulder_n port_n comport_v

that_o this_o rule_n ought_v ever_o to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o draw_n of_o regiment_n that_o the_o right_a flank_n as_o near_o as_o may_v be_v aught_o to_o be_v suitable_a with_o the_o left_a

these_o two_o grand_a division_n stand_v even_o abr_a we_o will_v begin_v to_o examine_v the_o first_o worth_n which_o be_v the_o colonel_n and_o the_o four_o worth_n which_o be_v the_o elder_a

of_o the_o first_o in_o the_o next_o place_n there_o be_v no_o more_o to_o place_n but_o the_o five_o and_o six_o worth_n who_o be_v the_o second_o and_o three_o captain_n and_o therefore_o since_o

the_o second_o place_n of_o honour_n must_v be_v to_o lead_v the_o second_o grand_a division_n of_o pike_n and_o therefore_o the_o five_o worth_n be_v bring_v into_o and_o place_v between_o the_o

shall_v further_o proceed_v to_o balance_v it_o more_o clear_o consider_v they_o by_o divide_v they_o by_o two_o in_o their_o place_n as_o first_o we_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o colonel_n the_o first_o worth_n who_o have_v join_v to_o he_o the_o young_a captain_n which_o be_v the_o six_o worth_n and_o they_o two_o make_v the_o number_n 7_o then_o compare_v the_o lieutenant-colonel_n who_o be_v the_o second_o worth_n unto_o the_o second_o captain_n join_v with_o he_o which_o be_v the_o five_o worth_n and_o they_o make_v alike_o the_o same_o number_n after_o that_o compare_v the_o

the_o rest_n and_o thus_o much_o may_v be_v speak_v in_o general_a now_o i_o shall_v come_v more_o particular_o to_o give_v further_a satisfaction_n both_o for_o they_o and_o for_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v give_v reason_n for_o the_o place_n of_o the_o officer_n of_o the_o first_o grand_a division_n and_o clear_n that_o the_o second_o will_v quick_o be_v lay_v open_a to_o the_o view_n chap._n iu._n more_o particular_a reason_n for_o the_o place_n of_o the_o captain_n and_o lieutenant_n of_o the_o first_o grand_a division_n in_o this_o grand_a division_n there_o be_v the_o colonel_n the_o elder_a captain_n and_o the_o young_a draw_v up_o into_o the_o midst_n and_o they_o have_v each_o of_o they_o lieutenant_n take_v notice_n therefore_o of_o these_o reason_n for_o their_o place_v thus_o that_o always_o upon_o such_o small_a body_n as_o these_o the_o first_o honour_n be_v ever_o place_v upon_o the_o right_n and_o the_o second_o upon_o the_o left_a and_o that_o which_o remain_v must_v of_o necessity_n be_v draw_v up_o into_o the_o midst_n they_o stand_v all_o abr_a these_o three_o company_n be_v order_v into_o a_o right_n and_o left_a flank_n and_o one_o stand_v of_o pike_n or_o vanguard_n reerward_n or_o main-battail_n as_o they_o may_v be_v term_v the_o reason_n follow_v for_o the_o thus_o stand_v of_o the_o officer_n whether_o march_v all_o even_a abrest_n or_o upon_o a_o stand_n it_o be_v the_o colonel_n proper_a place_n to_o be_v on_o the_o head_n or_o midst_n of_o his_o grand_a division_n which_o be_v his_o chief_a place_n of_o security_n and_o where_o he_o ought_v to_o fight_v for_o stand_v there_o the_o other_o may_v more_o convenient_o repair_v unto_o he_o for_o their_o order_n as_o occasion_n shall_v require_v now_o the_o colonel_n be_v a_o field-officer_n be_v not_o absolute_o tie_v to_o any_o one_o place_n to_o fight_v as_o the_o rest_n be_v many_o occasion_n call_v he_o from_o thence_o the_o elder_a captain_n therefore_o be_v appoint_v to_o take_v charge_n of_o the_o body_n of_o pike_n whether_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o march_n to_o lead_v they_o or_o upon_o a_o stand_v to_o fight_v they_o he_o ought_v never_o to_o forsake_v they_o but_o upon_o special_a command_n from_o his_o colonel_n or_o other_o field-officer_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o first_o body_n of_o pike_n be_v the_o most_o honourable_a place_n to_o lead_v be_v as_o i_o conceive_v because_o the_o colonel_n colour_n be_v there_o fly_v and_o beside_o be_v the_o more_o ancient_a arm_n far_o more_o honour_n it_o be_v to_o lead_v they_o for_o most_o common_o the_o gallant_a man_n of_o the_o infantry_n desire_v rather_o to_o trail_v pike_n then_o to_o carry_v musket_n moreover_o it_o have_v be_v a_o constant_a practice_n in_o most_o place_n that_o the_o elder_a captain_n shall_v have_v that_o place_n to_o lead_v on_o foot_n although_o many_o time_n his_o colonel_n be_v on_o horseback_n may_v be_v a_o little_a before_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o these_o two_o it_o remain_v to_o speak_v something_o of_o the_o young_a captain_n
who_o be_v appoint_v either_o upon_o the_o march_v all_o abrest_n or_o upon_o a_o stand_v to_o take_v charge_n of_o the_o reerward_n or_o leave_v flank_n of_o the_o first_o grand_a division_n to_o fight_v they_o but_o upon_o the_o long_a march_n it_o be_v more_o honourable_a for_o he_o to_o fall_v down_o in_o the_o rear_n and_o to_o bring_v up_o his_o own_o lieutenant_n come_v up_o into_o his_o place_n for_o it_o be_v great_a honour_n though_o many_o time_n not_o believe_v to_o bring_v up_o a_o grand_a division_n then_o to_o lead_v a_o sub-division_n in_o the_o next_o place_n it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o the_o captain-lieutenant_n place_n be_v too_o honourable_a to_o lead_v the_o vanguard_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o colonel_n himself_o be_v confine_v thither_o for_o upon_o the_o long_a march_n he_o draw_v off_o the_o vanguard_n and_o lead_v they_o himself_o be_v attend_v on_o horseback_n by_o the_o martial_a and_o quartermaster_n of_o his_o own_o regiment_n now_o

captain_n lieutenant_n be_v always_o place_v in_o the_o rear_n of_o the_o pike_n either_o upon_o a_o stand_v or_o upon_o a_o march_n it_o be_v very_o honourable_a unto_o he_o to_o bring_v up_o a_o
