one_o be_v call_v the_o right_a corner_n the_o other_o the_o left_a they_o will_v never_o suffer_v that_o their_o assistant_n shall_v be_v more_o in_o number_n then_o their_o legionary_n but_o as_o for_o the_o horseman_n they_o make_v no_o great_a account_n although_o they_o be_v more_o in_o number_n then_o they_o with_o such_o a_o army_n of_o 20000_o footman_n and_o about_o 1500._o horse_n of_o service_n at_o the_o uttermost_a a_o consul_n of_o rome_n do_v enterprise_v all_o faction_n and_o do_v execute_v they_o true_a it_o be_v that_o when_o as_o they_o be_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o very_a great_a force_n of_o their_o enemy_n they_o assemble_v two_o consul_n and_o cause_v the_o two_o host_n consulares_fw-la to_o join_v together_o we_o must_v note_v moreover_o that_o in_o all_o the_o

the_o force_n which_o they_o trust_v most_o shall_v be_v most_o unite_a yet_o their_o confederate_n be_v not_o inferior_n unto_o they_o because_o of_o the_o great_a practice_n that_o they_o have_v

every_o one_o of_o their_o host_n so_o likewise_o i_o will_v take_v four_o legion_n of_o frenchman_n or_o two_o at_o the_o least_o and_o they_o shall_v be_v of_o 6100._o footman_n for_o this_o number_n like_v i_o best_o for_o that_o vegetius_n have_v use_v it_o in_o the_o frame_n of_o his_o legion_n and_o of_o the_o two_o abovesaid_a legion_n i_o will_v make_v my_o principal_a force_n if_o so_o be_v that_o we_o will_v have_v strange_a soldier_n among_o they_o i_o will_v place_v the_o say_a stranger_n at_o the_o two_o corner_n of_o the_o army_n as_o the_o roman_n do_v their_o assistant_n but_o i_o suppose_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o stranger_n in_o the_o host_n that_o i_o will_v make_v at_o this_o present_a or_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v i_o will_v not_o have_v the_o number_n of_o the_o legion_n which_o i_o require_v to_o be_v diminish_v but_o that_o there_o shall_v always_o be_v four_o by_o the_o order_n of_o which_o four_o may_v easy_o be_v understand_v how_o a_o great_a army_n shall_v be_v range_v for_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a number_n of_o people_n than_o the_o say_v four_o legion_n there_o be_v no_o more_o to_o do_v but_o to_o make_v many_o small_a batailons_a and_o to_o place_v they_o behind_o and_o at_o the_o side_n of_o the_o bataile_n in_o form_n of_o subside_n to_o succour_v any_o part_n of_o the_o batailon_n that_o may_v be_v oppress_v of_o which_o subside_v it_o shall_v be_v necessary_a to_o use_v for_o the_o diverse_a form_n of_o batailons_a that_o enemy_n oftentimes_o do_v make_v to_o the_o intent_n that_o without_o change_v or_o take_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o place_n we_o may_v at_o all_o time_n have_v wherewithal_o to_o resist_v they_o as_o if_o any_o of_o the_o enemy_n batailons_a shall_v be_v range_v in_o point_n that_o be_v with_o a_o narrow_a strong_a battle_n we_o may_v immediate_o bring_v forward_o those_o that_o be_v behind_o and_o those_o upon_o the_o flank_n and_o range_v they_o in_o the_o form_n of_o two_o unite_a force_n to_o receive_v and_o enclose_v betwixt_o they_o the_o enemy_n point_v when_o it_o shall_v approach_v or_o if_o the_o say_a enemy_n shall_v march_v with_o their_o front_n of_o great_a breadth_n they_o then_o may_v march_v in_o point_n and_o force_v to_o break_v into_o they_o these_o people_n will_v be_v also_o good_a to_o repulse_v those_o that_o shall_v sudden_o charge_v upon_o the_o flank_n of_o the_o batailon_n or_o behind_o they_o may_v also_o serve_v to_o relieve_v those_o that_o be_v in_o danger_n or_o to_o strike_v down_o those_o that_o run_v away_o and_o for_o many_o other_o good_a action_n which_o i_o leave_v to_o speak_v of_o wherein_o we_o may_v employ_v those_o that_o may_v be_v in_o our_o camp_n over_o and_o above_o the_o say_v four_o legion_n notwithstanding_o for_o these_o purpose_n there_o need_v none_o to_o be_v levy_v since_o the_o forlorn_a hope_n &_o those_o of_o the_o flank_n may_v serve_v the_o turn_n furthermore_o i_o think_v that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v needful_a to_o recite_v again_o the_o number_n of_o people_n that_o i_o have_v appoint_v for_o every_o legion_n nor_o that_o there_o be_v ten_o ordinary_a band_n and_o two_o extraordinary_a nor_o what_o arm_n and_o weapon_n they_o shall_v carry_v nor_o the_o diversity_n of_o pikeman_n nor_o what_o officer_n &_o chief_n there_o shall_v be_v in_o every_o legion_n because_o that_o i_o have_v before_o recite_v they_o particular_o wherefore_o without_o any_o more_o repetition_n i_o say_v that_o the_o first_o legion_n for_o they_o must_v all_o be_v distinguish_v by_o degree_n ought_v at_o all_o time_n to_o be_v range_v in_o the_o batailon_n in_o one_o place_n and_o the_o other_o likewise_o therefore_o i_o will_v that_o the_o first_o legion_n shall_v keep_v the_o right_a side_n and_o the_o second_o the_o left_a and_o that_o the_o first_o rank_n of_o the_o hastary_n of_o these_o two_o legion_n shall_v be_v range_v as_o far_o forward_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o and_o all_o the_o other_o rank_n follow_v and_o for_o a_o more_o manifest_a demonstration_n suppose_v that_o the_o enemy_n be_v towards_o the_o east_n and_o that_o we_o do_v range_v the_o front_n of_o our_o battle_n towards_o they_o the_o first_o legion_n be_v upon_o the_o right_a hand_n on_o the_o south_n side_n the_o second_o legion_n upon_o the_o left_a hand_n on_o the_o

of_o both_o these_o two_o legion_n must_v likewise_o keep_v one_o and_o the_o selfsame_o order_n rank_n space_n &_o distance_n there_o must_v a_o space_n be_v leave_v betwixt_o the_o two_o legion_n from_o the_o front_n unto_o the_o tail_n which_o must_v be_v thirty_o pace_n broad_a these_o two_o legion_n shall_v occupy_v the_o place_n that_o the_o two_o legion_n of_o the_o citizen_n of_o rome_n do_v occupy_v i_o will_v have_v the_o three_o legion_n to_o be_v place_v on_o the_o right_a corner_n &_o the_o four_o on_o the_o left_a and_o range_v in_o the_o selfsame_o order_n that_o the_o two_o legion_n betwixt_o they_o be_v with_o space_n betwixt_o they_o of_o 30._o pace_n broad_a so_o that_o the_o four_o legion_n shall_v occupy_v in_o breadth_n a_o thousand_o pase_n or_o more_o the_o forlorn_a hope_n shall_v be_v at_o the_o head_n and_o the_o horseman_n of_o the_o first_o and_o three_o legion_n shall_v be_v on_o the_o right_a wing_n and_o the_o horseman_n of_o the_o second_o and_o four_o legion_n upon_o the_o left_a wing_n and_o for_o to_o govern_v this_o army_n well_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o have_v certain_a principal_a chief_n and_o officer_n who_o shall_v be_v

they_o by_o put_v arm_n into_o their_o hand_n at_o the_o least_o i_o think_v that_o when_o war_n do_v happen_v and_o when_o there_o be_v question_n to_o levy_v man_n in_o france_n we_o ought_v to_o help_v ourselves_o in_o choose_v soldier_n after_o this_o manner_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v compel_v to_o enroll_v themselves_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o i_o have_v say_v for_o which_o there_o must_v be_v good_a authority_n give_v unto_o the_o captain_n and_o likewise_o good_a time_n to_o choose_v and_o levy_v they_o in_o as_o for_o to_o levy_v they_o as_o we_o be_v accustom_v it_o have_v no_o order_n in_o it_o i_o mean_v if_o we_o will_v have_v man_n of_o service_n for_o in_o this_o case_n the_o captain_n be_v constrain_v to_o receive_v all_o that_o come_v unto_o they_o aswell_o the_o good_a as_o the_o bad_a and_o sometime_o the_o worst_a do_v make_v themselves_o to_o be_v entreat_v and_o to_o be_v buy_v dear_a than_o if_o they_o be_v any_o thing_n worth_a and_o notwithstanding_o they_o must_v be_v have_v if_o it_o be_v but_o to_o fill_v up_o the_o number_n i_o will_v therefore_o that_o the_o captain_n may_v have_v more_o time_n to_o make_v their_o band_n then_o they_o have_v in_o which_o time_n they_o shall_v be_v bind_v to_o use_v great_a diligence_n in_o train_n their_o man_n and_o in_o train_n they_o to_o march_n towards_o the_o place_n of_o meeting_n make_v small_a

that_o which_o we_o do_v use_v at_o this_o present_a the_o 4._o chapter_n after_o that_o these_o man_n be_v choose_v and_o inroul_v they_o must_v be_v arm_v the_o best_a and_o sure_a way_n that_o
