in_o respect_n that_o private_a company_n can_v hold_v long_o in_o their_o full_a strength_n and_o due_a number_n be_v in_o the_o field_n by_o reason_n of_o sickness_n slaughter_n and_o the_o like_a accident_n that_o thus_o to_o order_v a_o army_n into_o small_a body_n and_o as_o it_o be_v into_o private_a and_o particular_a company_n by_o themselves_o their_o volley_n of_o shot_n can_v neither_o be_v great_a nor_o the_o harm_n great_a that_o the_o enemy_n shall_v receive_v by_o they_o but_o to_o this_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o we_o speak_v not_o here_o of_o the_o order_n of_o particular_a company_n by_o themselves_o but_o of_o small_a body_n make_v up_o of_o private_a company_n as_o cause_n shall_v require_v so_o that_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o army_n may_v be_v weaken_v by_o these_o accident_n of_o death_n or_o otherwise_o yet_o the_o division_n may_v stand_v fast_o and_o full_a though_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o there_o will_v be_v few_o division_n which_o make_v nothing_o against_o the_o order_n in_o general_n second_o these_o objector_n say_v that_o the_o mix_n of_o the_o shot_n and_o pike_n together_o in_o distinct_a company_n weaken_v and_o disable_v the_o whole_a body_n for_o say_v they_o by_o cast_v off_o the_o shot_n in_o this_o manner_n the_o interval_n and_o street_n be_v make_v so_o empty_a and_o wide_a that_o the_o enemy_n horse_n be_v enable_v to_o break_v in_o and_o disorder_v they_o and_o if_o the_o shot_n be_v not_o thus_o cast_v off_o but_o keep_v close_o and_o so_o make_v to_o discharge_v in_o countermarch_v they_o be_v hereby_o apt_a to_o be_v throng_v together_o by_o the_o pike_n and_o the_o distance_n of_o place_n be_v take_v from_o they_o the_o use_n of_o their_o weapon_n also_o must_v needs_o fail_v they_o and_o so_o all_o come_v to_o ruin_n but_o to_o this_o objection_n also_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o all_o this_o may_v be_v help_v by_o the_o unite_n of_o these_o body_n into_o one_o as_o shall_v be_v find_v necessary_a nor_o need_v these_o shot_n be_v so_o remove_v from_o their_o body_n of_o pike_n by_o any_o cast_n off_o but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v reunite_v with_o ease_n on_o a_o sudden_a nor_o shall_v they_o be_v throng_v by_o their_o pike_n or_o deprive_v of_o their_o distance_n of_o place_n because_o they_o shall_v not_o need_v hold_v this_o order_n to_o discharge_v at_o all_o in_o countermarch_v three_o and_o last_o it_o be_v object_v against_o this_o foresay_a order_n of_o embattel_v a_o army_n into_o small_a body_n that_o in_o what_o manner_n soever_o the_o shot_n be_v employ_v there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o weakness_n in_o the_o rear_n so_o that_o the_o enemy_n horse_n may_v break_v in_o at_o pleasure_n but_o to_o this_o it_o be_v again_o reply_v that_o the_o unite_n of_o the_o small_a division_n be_v careful_o observe_v assure_v against_o all_o these_o assault_n and_o peril_n and_o that_o all_o these_o objection_n fall_v rather_o upon_o the_o embattel_v of_o a_o single_a regiment_n than_o the_o form_n of_o a_o battle_n or_o army_n make_v up_o of_o ten_o or_o twenty_o thousand_o man_n and_o thus_o
