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

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

colour_n fly_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o they_o and_o upon_o the_o draw_v up_o of_o the_o company_n there_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a place_n for_o the_o captain_n to_o be_v either_o upon_o a_o

sergeant_n to_o draw_v off_o part_n or_o all_o the_o musketeer_n from_o the_o body_n of_o pike_n to_o fire_n against_o the_o enemy_n the_o gentleman_n of_o the_o pike_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n stand_v undaunted_o to_o undergo_v all_o the_o cruel_a shot_n of_o the_o cannon_n from_o the_o contrary_a part_n for_o to_o preserve_v their_o colour_n who_o be_v likewise_o a_o place_n of_o randezvous_n for_o the_o musketeer_n to_o repair_v unto_o when_o they_o shall_v retreat_v from_o fight_n far_o it_o have_v be_v the_o ambition_n of_o many_o gentleman_n both_o in_o holland_n france_n and_o in_o these_o our_o late_a unhappy_a war_n in_o england_n to_o trail_v pike_n with_o several_a commander_n who_o they_o shall_v think_v fit_a and_o last_o to_o conclude_v all_o that_o the_o

there_o be_v any_o knowledge_n of_o the_o musket_n as_o in_o many_o history_n you_o shall_v find_v and_o so_o for_o present_v i_o will_v conclude_v this_o discourse_n of_o the_o pike_n desire_v the_o

for_o that_o can_v be_v i_o shall_v rather_o advise_v all_o captain_n that_o have_v occasion_n to_o raise_v their_o company_n to_o have_v two_o three_o of_o musketeer_n and_o but_o one_o of_o pike_n

perform_v the_o better_a service_n unto_o any_o nation_n where_o they_o shall_v be_v employ_v and_o i_o shall_v far_o desire_v the_o soldier_n especial_o those_o that_o be_v of_o low_a stature_n to_o
