for_o the_o place_n of_o the_o captain_n their_o colour_n and_o their_o lieutenant_n after_o the_o manner_n before_o set_v down_o what_o have_v former_o be_v declare_v concern_v a_o rank_n or_o file_n six_o abrest_n or_o six_o deep_a may_v be_v satisfactory_a in_o some_o kind_n unto_o this_o point_n which_o take_v his_o rule_n from_o hence_o for_o all_o private_a company_n small_a body_n or_o single_a file_n must_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v as_o near_o as_o they_o can_v conformable_a to_o great_a body_n as_o to_o regiment_n and_o consequent_o they_o to_o brigades_n therefore_o take_v notice_n that_o this_o rule_n ought_v ever_o to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o draw_n of_o regiment_n that_o the_o right_a flank_n as_o near_o as_o may_v be_v aught_o to_o be_v suitable_a with_o the_o left_a both_o in_o strength_n number_n and_o dignity_n and_o likewise_o to_o be_v so_o when_o they_o be_v draw_v forth_o upon_o a_o long_a march_n the_o front_n equal_a with_o the_o rear_n now_o suppose_v these_o two_o grand_a division_n stand_v even_o abr_a we_o will_v begin_v to_o examine_v the_o first_o worth_n which_o be_v the_o colonel_n and_o the_o four_o worth_n which_o be_v the_o elder_a captain_n and_o place_v upon_o the_o right_n and_o leave_v of_o the_o first_o grand_a division_n with_o the_o second_o and_o three_o worth_n who_o be_v the_o lieutenant-colonel_n and_o major_n draw_v up_o upon_o the_o right_n and_o leave_v of_o the_o second_o grand_a division_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v they_o be_v every_o way_n equivalent_a in_o number_n worth_a and_o dignity_n with_o that_o of_o the_o first_o in_o the_o next_o place_n there_o be_v no_o more_o to_o place_n but_o the_o five_o and_o six_o worth_n who_o be_v the_o second_o and_o three_o captain_n and_o therefore_o since_o it_o be_v the_o first_o place_n of_o honour_n among_o the_o captain_n in_o a_o regiment_n to_o lead_v the_o first_o body_n or_o stand_v of_o pike_n it_o must_v then_o consequent_o follow_v that_o the_o second_o place_n of_o honour_n must_v be_v to_o lead_v the_o second_o grand_a division_n of_o pike_n and_o therefore_o the_o five_o worth_n be_v bring_v into_o and_o place_v between_o the_o second_o and_o three_o that_o he_o may_v stand_v there_o to_o lead_v the_o second_o body_n of_o pike_n wherein_o the_o lieutenant-colonel_n the_o major_a and_o his_o own_o colour_n be_v place_v so_o that_o there_o remain_v no_o more_o but_o the_o six_o worth_n or_o young_a captain_n to_o place_n who_o be_v to_o be_v draw_v up_o between_o the_o colonel_n and_o elder_a captain_n now_o if_o we_o shall_v further_o proceed_v to_o balance_v it_o more_o clear_o consider_v they_o by_o divide_v they_o by_o two_o in_o their_o place_n as_o first_o we_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o colonel_n the_o first_o worth_n who_o have_v join_v to_o he_o the_o young_a captain_n which_o be_v the_o six_o worth_n and_o they_o two_o make_v the_o number_n 7_o then_o compare_v the_o lieutenant-colonel_n who_o be_v the_o second_o worth_n unto_o the_o second_o captain_n join_v with_o he_o which_o be_v the_o five_o worth_n and_o they_o make_v alike_o the_o same_o number_n after_o that_o compare_v the_o major_a and_o elder_a captain_n who_o be_v draw_v up_o into_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o regiment_n who_o place_n carry_v the_o three_o and_o four_o worth_n and_o their_o number_n be_v suitable_a with_o the_o rest_n and_o thus_o much_o may_v be_v speak_v in_o general_a now_o i_o shall_v come_v more_o particular_o to_o give_v further_a satisfaction_n both_o for_o they_o and_o for_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v give_v reason_n for_o the_o place_n of_o the_o officer_n of_o the_o first_o grand_a division_n and_o clear_n that_o the_o second_o will_v quick_o be_v lay_v open_a to_o the_o view_n chap._n iu._n more_o particular_a reason_n for_o the_o place_n of_o the_o captain_n and_o lieutenant_n of_o the_o first_o grand_a division_n in_o this_o grand_a division_n there_o be_v the_o colonel_n the_o elder_a captain_n and_o the_o young_a draw_v up_o into_o the_o midst_n and_o they_o have_v each_o of_o they_o lieutenant_n take_v notice_n therefore_o of_o these_o reason_n for_o their_o place_v thus_o that_o always_o upon_o such_o small_a body_n as_o these_o the_o first_o honour_n be_v ever_o place_v upon_o the_o right_n and_o the_o second_o upon_o the_o left_a and_o that_o which_o remain_v must_v of_o necessity_n be_v draw_v up_o into_o the_o midst_n they_o stand_v all_o abr_a these_o three_o company_n be_v order_v into_o a_o right_n and_o left_a flank_n and_o one_o stand_v of_o pike_n or_o vanguard_n reerward_n or_o main-battail_n as_o they_o may_v be_v term_v the_o reason_n follow_v for_o the_o thus_o stand_v of_o the_o officer_n whether_o march_v all_o even_a abrest_n or_o upon_o a_o stand_n it_o be_v the_o colonel_n proper_a place_n to_o be_v on_o the_o head_n or_o midst_n of_o his_o grand_a division_n which_o be_v his_o chief_a place_n of_o security_n and_o where_o he_o ought_v to_o fight_v for_o stand_v there_o the_o other_o may_v more_o convenient_o repair_v unto_o he_o for_o their_o order_n as_o occasion_n shall_v require_v now_o the_o colonel_n be_v a_o field-officer_n be_v not_o absolute_o tie_v to_o any_o one_o place_n to_o fight_v as_o the_o rest_n be_v many_o occasion_n call_v he_o from_o thence_o the_o elder_a captain_n therefore_o be_v appoint_v to_o take_v charge_n of_o the_o body_n of_o pike_n whether_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o march_n to_o lead_v they_o or_o upon_o a_o stand_v to_o fight_v they_o he_o ought_v never_o to_o forsake_v they_o but_o upon_o special_a command_n from_o his_o colonel_n or_o other_o field-officer_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o first_o body_n of_o pike_n be_v the_o most_o honourable_a place_n to_o lead_v be_v as_o i_o conceive_v because_o the_o colonel_n colour_n be_v there_o fly_v and_o beside_o be_v the_o more_o ancient_a arm_n far_o more_o honour_n it_o be_v to_o lead_v they_o for_o most_o common_o the_o gallant_a man_n of_o the_o infantry_n desire_v rather_o to_o trail_v pike_n then_o to_o carry_v musket_n moreover_o it_o have_v be_v a_o constant_a practice_n in_o most_o place_n that_o the_o elder_a captain_n shall_v have_v that_o place_n to_o lead_v on_o foot_n although_o many_o time_n his_o colonel_n be_v on_o horseback_n may_v be_v a_o little_a before_o he_o have_v speak_v of_o these_o two_o it_o remain_v to_o speak_v something_o of_o the_o young_a captain_n
