that_o which_o confirm_v we_o the_o more_o in_o this_o opinion_n be_v that_o in_o reason_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o next_o the_o description_n of_o the_o battle_n of_o zama_n which_o scipio_n

behind_o the_o heavie-armed_n now_o to_o form_v the_o say_a order_n i_o will_v say_v that_o the_o file_n be_v always_o of_o ten_o man_n in_o depth_n that_o a_o cohort_n or_o maniple_n of_o a_o legion_n of_o four_o thousand_o two_o hundred_o man_n consist_v always_o of_o one_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o soldier_n and_o consequent_o the_o cohort_n make_v ten_o rank_n and_o twelve_o file_n

half_a as_o many_o and_o by_o this_o example_n of_o one_o legion_n you_o may_v see_v how_o all_o the_o troop_n pass_v into_o each_o other_o the_o three_o figure_n of_o a_o legion_n i_o conceive_v that_o between_o the_o legion_n there_o be_v a_o far_o great_a distance_n then_o between_o the_o cohort_n that_o so_o they_o may_v prevent_v confusion_n among_o they_o which_o i_o judge_v to_o be_v

then_o of_o pike_n for_o myself_o which_o add_v the_o target_n to_o they_o my_o opinion_n shall_v be_v to_o have_v the_o regiment_n of_o 1440_o soldier_n namely_o of_o 600_o pike_n 600_o musket_n and_o 240_o target_n for_o the_o cavalry_n i_o will_v proportion_v it_o after_o this_o manner_n i_o will_v compose_v the_o regiment_n of_o 500_o horse_n whereof_o i_o will_v arm_v 400_o with_o

they_o it_o be_v a_o unsufferable_a shame_n to_o see_v their_o delicatenesse_n in_o these_o time_n and_o how_o they_o disesteem_v they_o and_o to_o cover_v this_o fault_n they_o publish_v that_o it_o
