to_o troop_n round_o about_o the_o battle_n battle_n with_o some_o reasonable_a distance_n from_o the_o same_o the_o which_o manner_n of_o small_a troop_n i_o esteem_v to_o be_v far_o better_a than_o

two_o part_n at_o the_o most_o at_o once_o then_o may_v the_o shot_n retire_v safe_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n but_o if_o you_o be_v imbattail_v in_o open_a campania_n without_o any_o advantage_n for_o you_o and_o your_o enemy_n very_o strong_a in_o horse_n and_o you_o few_o horse_n or_o none_o to_o reanswer_n they_o horse_n than_o in_o my_o opinion_n the_o sure_a way_n be_v thus_o as_o i_o

in_o such_o case_n where_o your_o battle_n may_v be_v charge_v on_o every_o part_n or_o side_n that_o then_o those_o rank_n in_o flank_n which_o have_v a_o wide_a distance_n than_o those_o man_n which_o be_v in_o front_n do_v march_v up_o close_a together_o whereby_o they_o may_v make_v the_o front_n of_o equal_a strength_n and_o distance_n of_o station_n every_o way_n in_o this_o figure_n
