hand_n here_o you_o see_v the_o file_n 1._o stand_v still_o and_o have_v give_v their_o volley_n be_v to_o retreat_n between_o the_o file_n 4._o and_o the_o file_n 3._o than_o the_o file_n 2._o

2._o to_o the_o right_a hand_n which_o have_v give_v fire_n turn_v face_n as_o before_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o then_o retreat_n between_o the_o file_n 4_o and_o 1._o likewise_o in_o the_o

and_o set_v down_o in_o this_o grammar_n i_o will_v now_o proceed_v to_o those_o other_o motion_n and_o imbattayling_n of_o horse_n which_o be_v more_o difficult_a and_o strange_a do_v more_o amaze_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o industrious_a learner_n and_o be_v hard_a attain_a unto_o by_o discourse_n without_o some_o plain_a demonstration_n first_o therefore_o the_o general_a motion_n of_o horse_n

herein_o you_o be_v to_o call_v to_o mind_n as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o the_o accidence_n that_o as_o the_o rank_n of_o horse_n be_v compound_v of_o uncertain_a number_n so_o the_o file_n must_v ever_o be_v constant_o six_o deep_a be_v compound_v of_o a_o leader_n a_o follower_n two_o middleman_n a_o follower_n file_n and_o a_o bringer_n up_o or_o the_o rear_n man_n according_a to_o this_o
