pace_n through_o the_o division_n into_o the_o front_n place_v themselves_o before_o their_o own_o file_n and_o so_o in_o like_o manner_n the_o rest_n this_o be_v to_o be_v perform_v when_o the_o

i_o can_v very_o much_o enlarge_v myself_o in_o this_o subject_a but_o i_o hope_v these_o will_v content_v my_o friend_n for_o this_o time_n who_o have_v honest_a heart_n and_o judge_v charitable_o and_o because_o i_o know_v that_o there_o have_v be_v many_o very_a excellent_a book_n of_o military_a discipline_n set_v forth_o within_o these_o few_o year_n in_o this_o kingdom_n namely_o the_o

gentleman_n soldier_n as_o i_o have_v set_v down_o in_o my_o preface_n if_o i_o have_v appoint_v i_o any_o command_n with_o the_o horse-troop_n as_o i_o have_v with_o the_o foot-company_n i_o shall_v likewise_o set_v down_o some_o observation_n concerning_o the_o exercise_v and_o imbattail_v of_o they_o but_o for_o this_o and_o some_o other_o reason_n at_o this_o time_n i_o omit_v only_o remember_v the_o officer_n of_o the_o troop_n of_o horse_n which_o be_v yet_o unskilful_a or_o not_o so_o skilful_a as_o they_o will_v desire_v to_o be_v to_o observe_v the_o form_n and_o manner_n of_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o foot-company_n which_o will_v in_o some_o measure_n teach_v they_o their_o duty_n for_o in_o the_o exercise_n of_o horse_n and_o foot_n there_o be_v not_o much_o difference_n before_o i_o pass_v any_o further_o let_v i_o remember_v the_o ensign_n bearer_n in_o few_o word_n concerning_o his_o place_n and_o duty_n and_o the_o displ●ying_n of_o the_o colour_n the_o ensign_n or_o colour_n be_v the_o honour_n and_o reputation_n of_o the_o captain_n and_o soldier_n therefore_o the_o ensign-bearer_n ought_v not_o only_o to_o be_v a_o good_a soldier_n bold_a and_o valiant_a but_o likewise_o discreet_a and_o wise_a in_o counsel_n and_o in_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o captain_n and_o lieutenant_n have_v the_o same_o authority_n the_o captain_n have_v where_o the_o company_n be_v appoint_v to_o gather_v together_o he_o ought_v to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o and_o to_o be_v careful_a of_o his_o colour_n and_o at_o all_o time_n see_v that_o they_o be_v well_o guard_v and_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n to_o further_a the_o service_n within_o these_o few_o year_n a_o supreme_a commander_n in_o set_v down_o the_o duty_n of_o each_o officer_n in_o his_o place_n speak_v of_o the_o ensign_n these_o word_n follow_v the_o ensign_n shall_v never_o turn_v his_o face_n out_o of_o his_o order_n start_v from_o any_o danger_n nor_o forsake_v his_o ensign_n upon_o pain_n of_o death_n in_o a_o march_n he_o may_v bear_v his_o colour_n fly_v rest_v upon_o his_o shoulder_n before_o the_o head_n of_o the_o pike_n and_o be_v in_o a_o batalia_fw-la his_o colour_n sometime_o advance_v and_o breasted_a fly_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o pike_n between_o the_o half_a file_n in_o a_o troop_n the_o colour_n furl_v or_o roll_v up_o in_o presence_n of_o the_o general_n or_o supreme_a commander_n he_o must_v bear_v his_o colour_n fly_v and_o pass_v by_o he_o veil_v they_o the_o point_n even_o with_o his_o knee_n once_o and_o no_o more_o for_o that_o time_n without_o any_o other_o ceremony_n but_o if_o he_o pass_v by_o the_o king_n or_o prince_n he_o shall_v likewise_o withal_o bow_v somewhat_o one_o of_o his_o knee_n the_o soldier_n ought_v not_o to_o forsake_v or_o leave_v their_o colour_n before_o they_o be_v lodge_v and_o then_o with_o leave_n of_o the_o captain_n may_v depart_v the_o posture_n of_o the_o colour_n note_n that_o in_o those_o part_n where_o the_o war_n be_v especial_o within_o the_o leaguer_n or_o any_o army_n in_o the_o field_n the_o ensign_n ought_v not_o to_o display_v his_o colour_n but_o only_o to_o bear_v they_o fly_v march_v skirmish_a or_o at_o a_o stand_n or_o to_o veil_v they_o as_o i_o have_v show_v before_o but_o with_o the_o train_a band_n in_o those_o part_n and_o likewise_o within_o this_o kingdom_n the_o ensign_n do_v use_v at_o their_o meeting_n or_o muster_n some_o more_o posture_n in_o display_v his_o colour_n the_o ensign_n may_v perform_v most_o parr_o of_o the_o
