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

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
