to_o be_v use_v but_o seldom_o except_o it_o be_v in_o necessity_n in_o such_o part_n as_o the_o ground_n will_v not_o permit_v otherwise_o therefore_o to_o avoid_v disorder_n soldier_n ought_v not_o

hand_n turn_v dress_v your_o rank_n and_o file_n and_o be_v silent_a another_o sort_n of_o countermarch_v be_v the_o slavonian_a countermarch_n where_o you_o lose_v ground_n the_o front_n be_v change_v also_o than_o you_o command_v the_o first_o rank_n to_o turn_v about_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n than_o you_o say_v to_o the_o rest_n countermarch_v and_o through_o to_o your_o former_a

sort_n of_o countermarch_n i_o esteem_v most_o of_o to_o be_v practise_v be_v rather_o a_o conversion_n very_o requisite_a to_o be_v well_o know_v to_o all_o soldier_n in_o all_o army_n chief_o to_o be_v use_v before_o a_o enemy_n for_o as_o it_o be_v most_o sudden_a so_o in_o my_o opinion_n it_o breed_v least_o disorder_n and_o disturbance_n the_o soldier_n once_o use_v to_o it_o of_o themselves_o they_o will_v willing_o do_v it_o on_o any_o occasion_n the_o body_n be_v before_o in_o open_a order_n or_o battle_n order_n say_v close_o the_o rank_n and_o file_n to_o your_o close_a order_n without_o encumber_v one_o of_o another_o every_o man_n follow_v right_a his_o own_o leader_n keep_v close_o to_o his_o side_n man_n then_o say_v to_o the_o right_a hand_n the_o quarter_n turn_v half_a or_o whole_a as_o the_o occasion_n and_o the_o ground_n do_v permit_v and_o then_o say_v dress_v your_o arm_n and_o follow_v your_o leader_n and_o open_a again_o to_o your_o battle_n order_n last_o the_o body_n of_o your_o musketeer_n exercise_v perfect_o after_o this_o manner_n for_o the_o better_a bring_v of_o they_o in_o exercise_n and_o breath_n that_o in_o case_n any_o disorder_n may_v happen_v among_o they_o they_o may_v the_o better_a afterward_o be_v acquaint_v one_o with_o another_o say_v to_o your_o open_a order_n of_o six_o foot_n distance_n open_v both_o

stick_v in_o his_o holbert_n in_o the_o ground_n then_o 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

they_o without_o give_v of_o fire_n when_o you_o have_v get_v your_o soldier_n thus_o experiment_v in_o their_o motion_n then_o be_v you_o to_o acquaint_v they_o with_o shot_n in_o give_v of_o fire_n to_o make_v they_o fix_v against_o their_o enemy_n which_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
