and_o the_o like_a the_o next_o thing_n in_o order_n to_o teach_v the_o cavalier_n be_v the_o use_n of_o the_o army_n now_o for_o brevity_n sake_n i_o shall_v purposely_o omit_v the_o posture_n of_o the_o horseman_n it_o be_v of_o little_a use_n in_o service_n and_o only_o acquaint_v you_o with_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v material_a now_o if_o you_o use_v cartrage_n you_o shall_v find_v in_o your_o crattreg_n case_n a_o turn_v wooden_a pin_n which_o you_o must_v take_v have_v cut_v length_n of_o white_a paper_n something_o broad_a than_o the_o pin_n be_v in_o length_n and_o roll_n the_o paper_n on_o the_o pin_n then_o twist_v one_o end_n of_o the_o paper_n and_o fill_v it_o almost_o full_a of_o powder_n than_o put_v the_o bullet_n on_o the_o top_n of_o the_o powder_n twist_v that_o end_n also_o then_o put_v it_o into_o your_o carttreg_n case_n now_o when_o you_o come_v to_o lade_v your_o carbine_n or_o pistol_n with_o these_o cartreges_fw-la you_o must_v bite_v off_o that_o end_n of_o the_o paper_n where_o the_o powder_n be_v pour_v it_o into_o your_o carbine_n or_o pistol_n then_o put_v in_o that_o bullet_n and_o some_o of_o that_o paper_n will_v serve_v for_o a_o what_fw-mi after_o it_o and_o ram_n home_o but_o always_o observe_v that_o your_o bullet_n be_v not_o too_o big_a but_o that_o it_o may_v roll_n home_o to_o the_o powder_n for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o distance_n between_o the_o bullet_n and_o the_o powder_n it_o be_v likely_a to_o break_v the_o barrel_n of_o your_o carbine_n or_o pistol_n but_o if_o you_o use_v a_o flask_n which_o in_o my_o judgement_n be_v far_o better_a than_o carttreges_fw-la because_o that_o many_o time_n the_o trot_n of_o your_o horse_n in_o long_a march_n shake_v out_o all_o the_o powder_n out_o of_o your_o carttrage_n and_o thereby_o cause_v you_o to_o be_v unprovided_a for_o the_o sudden_a charge_n of_o the_o enemy_n you_o must_v gauge_v your_o flask_n and_o so_o lade_v your_o carbine_n or_o pistol_n with_o powder_n and_o bullet_n as_o before_o but_o never_o prime_n before_o you_o have_v span_v and_o never_o span_v before_o you_o have_v just_a need_n because_o many_o time_n the_o firelock_n pistol_n will_n nor_o go_v off_o if_o they_o have_v stand_v long_o span_v now_o the_o quantity_n of_o powder_n usual_o require_v for_o the_o lade_n of_o either_o carbine_n or_o pistol_n be_v half_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o bullet_n but_o to_o avoid_v the_o carriage_n of_o either_o cartrage_n case_n or_o flask_n there_o be_v a_o new_a invent_a spanner_n which_o contain_v some_o six_o charge_n with_o prime_a powder_n which_o be_v more_o many_o time_n then_o be_v use_v in_o our_o skirmish_n the_o next_o thing_n in_o order_n be_v to_o show_v you_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o horse_n in_o their_o motion_n wherein_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o true_a distance_n between_o horse_n and_o horse_n which_o be_v to_o be_v six_o foot_n at_o their_o open_a order_n and_o three_o foot_n at_o

cavalry_n be_v of_o four_o kind_n as_o face_n double_n countermarch_n and_o wheel_n the_o use_n of_o face_n be_v to_o make_v the_o troop_n perfect_a to_o be_v sudden_o prepare_v for_o a_o charge_n
