to_o be_v understand_v that_o in_o horse-troope_n there_o be_v but_o two_o sort_n of_o distance_n or_o order_n either_o in_o rank_n or_o file_n that_o be_v close_a order_n and_o open_a order_n close_a

be_v to_o the_o horse_n crupper_n or_o without_o street_n and_o open_a order_n be_v six_o foot_n above_o which_o the_o rank_n must_v never_o open_v and_o therefore_o that_o the_o troop_n may_v march_v orderly_a and_o keep_v their_o distance_n true_o motion_n let_v the_o whole_a troop_n in_o march_v move_v all_o at_o one_o instant_a that_o be_v when_o the_o head_n begin_v than_o the_o rear_n to_o be_v ready_a so_o shall_v they_o seldom_o be_v find_v to_o err_v disorderly_a also_o you_o must_v know_v that_o when_o the_o troop_n come_v to_o march_v in_o battalion_n that_o then_o they_o must_v march_v at_o their_o close_a order_n in_o fyles_n and_o at_o open_a order_n in_o rank_n but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o do_v the_o evolution_n or_o motion_n in_o war_n than_o they_o must_v be_v at_o their_o open-order_n both_o in_o fyles_n and_o rank_n the_o distance_n betwixt_o troop_n and_o troop_n ought_v to_o be_v twentie-five_a pace_n and_o between_o regiment_n and_o regiment_n fifty_o pace_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o distance_n or_o proportion_n of_o place_n march_n the_o four_o lesson_n succeed_v for_o the_o use_n of_o the_o horse-troope_n be_v march_n or_o motion_n both_o of_o the_o horse_n and_o man_n perform_v in_o a_o orderly_a and_o comely_a manner_n without_o neglect_n of_o any_o of_o the_o three_o former_a lesson_n already_o describe_v for_o in_o all_o these_o
