20_o file_n and_o twenty_o man_n in_o a_o file_n this_o make_v two_o square_n or_o very_o near_o for_o though_o there_o be_v as_o many_o man_n on_o one_o side_n as_o the_o other_o yet_o towards_o

the_o capidieci_n or_o corporal_n be_v to_o be_v so_o accoutre_v that_o they_o may_v be_v know_v and_o of_o this_o the_o ancient_n be_v so_o extraordinary_o curious_a that_o their_o

have_v the_o number_n of_o his_o file_n and_o the_o number_n of_o his_o place_n in_o that_o file_n engrave_v upon_o his_o buckler_n your_o company_n be_v in_o this_o manner_n make_v distinguishable_a by_o their_o colour_n and_o accustom_v to_o their_o rank_n and_o file_n by_o practice_n and_o experience_n it_o be_v no_o hard_a matter_n though_o they_o be_v disorder_v to_o rally_v and_o reduce_v they_o sudden_o again_o for_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o colour_n be_v stick_v down_o in_o the_o ground_n they_o be_v immediate_o visible_a and_o the_o captain_n and_o officer_n know_v which_o be_v

and_o those_o which_o belong_v to_o the_o right_a hand_n on_o the_o right_n the_o soldier_n direct_v by_o their_o rule_n and_o the_o difference_n of_o their_o colour_n fall_v immediate_o into_o their_o rank_n as_o easy_o as_o we_o put_v together_o the_o staffe_n of_o a_o barrel_n when_o we_o have_v mark_v they_o before_o these_o thing_n if_o learn_v with_o diligence_n and_o exercise_n at_o

for_o the_o war._n it_o be_v necessary_a therefore_o to_o teach_v they_o how_o to_o turn_v all_o together_o when_o to_o face_v about_o in_o the_o rear_n or_o the_o flank_n and_o make_v rear_n and_o flank_n of_o the_o first_o rank_n when_o occasion_n be_v offer_v and_o this_o be_v no_o hard_a matter_n to_o do_v see_v it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o every_o man_n face_n to_o that_o side_n he_o be_v command_v and_o where_o they_o turn_v their_o face_n that_o be_v the_o front_n true_a it_o be_v when_o they_o face_n to_o the_o flank_n their_o rank_n do_v not_o hold_v their_o proportion_n because_o the_o distance_n betwixt_o the_o front_n and_o the_o rear_n be_v thereby_o much_o lessen_v and_o the_o distance_n betwixt_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o flank_n be_v much_o increase_v which_o be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o genuine_a order_n of_o a_o battalion_n for_o which_o cause_n great_a practice_n and_o discretion_n be_v require_v to_o rectify_v it_o and_o yet_o this_o may_v be_v remedy_v by_o themselves_o but_o that_o which_o be_v of_o great_a consequence_n and_o which_o require_v more_o practice_n be_v when_o a_o officer_n will_v turn_v his_o whole_a company_n together_o as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o single_a man_n or_o a_o solid_a and_o massy_a body_n of_o itself_o and_o this_o require_v long_a experience_n than_o the_o other_o for_o if_o you_o will_v have_v it_o turn_v to_o the_o left_a the_o left_a corner_n must_v stand_v still_o and_o they_o who_o be_v next_o they_o march_z so_o leisurely_o that_o they_o in_o the_o right_n may_v not_o be_v put_v to_o run_v if_o they_o be_v it_o will_v breed_v confusion_n but_o because_o it_o always_o happen_v that_o when_o a_o army_n march_v from_o place_n to_o place_n that_o the_o company_n which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o front_n be_v force_v to_o fight_v in_o the_o flank_n or_o rear_n so_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o company_n be_v many_o time_n compel_v to_o face_n about_o to_o the_o flank_n and_o rear_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n that_o these_o company_n therefore_o may_v in_o this_o exigence_n hold_v their_o old_a proportion_n according_a to_o what_o be_v say_v before_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o they_o have_v pike_n in_o that_o flank_n which_o be_v most_o likely_a to_o be_v attack_v and_o capidieci_n captain_n and_o other_o officer_n in_o their_o proper_a place_n chap._n x._o to_o

division_n when_o they_o be_v in_o this_o order_n if_o you_o desire_v to_o have_v your_o pike_n on_o the_o left_a hand_n you_o be_v to_o double_v they_o company_n by_o company_n from_o the_o right_a flank_n if_o you_o will_v have_v they_o on_o the_o right_n you_o be_v to_o double_v from_o the_o left_a and_o this_o be_v the_o way_n by_o which_o a_o company_n turn_v with_o the_o pike_n upon_o one_o flank_n with_o their_o officer_n at_o the_o head_n and_o the_o rear_n of_o they_o and_o their_o captain_n in_o the_o midst_n and_o it_o be_v the_o form_n which_o be_v observe_v in_o a_o march_n but_o upon_o the_o approach_n of_o a_o enemy_n when_o they_o will_v make_v a_o front_n of_o a_o flank_n they_o have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v but_o to_o command_v that_o all_o of_o they_o face_n about_o to_o that_o flank_n where_o the_o pike_n be_v and_o in_o so_o do_v the_o whole_a battalion_n turn_v with_o its_o file_n and_o officer_n at_o the_o same_o time_n in_o the_o manner_n aforesaid_a for_o unless_o it_o be_v the_o centurion_n they_o be_v all_o in_o their_o old_a place_n and_o the_o centurion_n can_v quick_o be_v there_o but_o when_o a_o battalion_n march_v in_o the_o front_n and_o be_v
