incertain_a and_o at_o pleasure_n there_o will_v then_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o any_o thing_n but_o everthe_v will_v be_v confuse_v according_a to_o the_o phantast_n quenesse_n of_o opinion_n when_o you_o have_v therefore_o draw_v your_o horse_n troop_n into_o rank_n and_o file_n troop_n which_o you_o must_v do_v file_n after_o file_n till_o every_o man_n be_v place_v according_a to_o the_o

every_o officer_n ready_a for_o his_o due_a place_n as_o captain_n lieutenant_n cornet_n trumpet_n and_o corporal_n you_o shall_v then_o according_a to_o the_o figure_n or_o example_n follow_v in_o

former_a troop_n draw_v up_o into_o a_o firm_a body_n either_o for_o service_n or_o exercise_n with_o all_o the_o officer_n thus_o you_o have_v see_v the_o manner_n of_o troop_v into_o the_o field_n with_o all_o the_o officer_n of_o a_o private_a troop_n and_o how_o they_o be_v divide_v into_o four_o devision_n the_o first_o or_o head_n be_v lead_v by_o the_o captain_n the_o second_o division_n

to_o antiquity_n this_o body_n or_o square_a battalion_n be_v of_o all_o other_o the_o best_a body_n and_o most_o sure_a for_o all_o manner_n of_o service_n and_o may_v the_o easy_a be_v reduce_v

till_o they_o see_v the_o foot_n battaile_n stagger_v and_o fall_v into_o disorder_n another_o rhombe_n of_o five_o square_n this_o rhombe_n of_o five_o in_o square_n do_v not_o rank_n but_o only_o
