in_o the_o last_o rank_n which_o waste_v because_o there_o be_v no_o man_n to_o supply_v it_o so_o that_o the_o loss_n that_o the_o first_o rank_n suffer_v be_v cause_n of_o the_o consume_n of_o the_o last_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o phalanges_fw-la may_v soon_o be_v consume_v then_o disorder_v for_o to_o overthrow_v they_o be_v impossible_a because_o of_o their_o great_a number_n the_o roman_n at_o the_o first_fw-mi use_v phalanges_fw-la &_o instruct_v their_o people_n after_o the_o greek_n manner_n but_o it_o be_v long_o since_o that_o they_o mislike_v of_o their_o order_n and_o therefore_o they_o divide_v their_o people_n into_o many_o body_n to_o wit_n into_o cohorte_n &_o manipule_n for_o they_o think_v as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o that_o that_o body_n which_o have_v many_o soul_n &_o be_v compound_v of_o many_o part_n ought_v also_o to_o have_v many_o life_n the_o batailons_a of_o the_o swisser_n almain_n we_o and_o other_o do_v somewhat_o imitate_v the_o phalanges_fw-la aswell_o for_o that_o we_o do_v range_v a_o great_a number_n of_o people_n together_o as_o also_o that_o we_o do_v place_n they_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o they_o may_v enter_v one_o into_o another_o his_o place_n but_o why_o this_o manner_n shall_v not_o be_v so_o good_a as_o the_o roman_n many_o example_n of_o the_o roman_a legion_n do_v show_v for_o that_o as_o often_o as_o the_o roman_n fight_v against_o the_o greek_n their_o phalanges_fw-la be_v overthrow_v and_o consume_v by_o the_o legion_n for_o the_o difference_n of_o their_o arm_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o relieve_v three_o time_n have_v a_o more_o force_n in_o it_o then_o the_o great_a number_n or_o the_o diligence_n of_o the_o phalanges_fw-la be_v therefore_o to_o frame_v a_o batailon_n after_o all_o these_o example_n i_o have_v think_v it_o good_a to_o imitate_v partly_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o greek_n phalanges_fw-la and_o partly_o the_o roman_a legion_n and_o partly_o these_o that_o we_o do_v use_v at_o this_o instant_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v that_o in_o every_o one_o of_o our_o legion_n there_o shall_v be_v 3600_o ordinary_a pike_n for_o the_o body_n of_o the_o batailon_n 420._o for_o the_o flank_n and_o 170._o extraordinary_a pike_n for_o the_o forlorn_a hope_n which_o be_v arm_n that_o the_o phalanges_fw-la do_v use_v beside_o i_o will_v have_v 600._o halberd_n 420._o harquebusier_n for_o the_o flank_n and_o 680._o for_o the_o forlorn_a hope_n all_o which_o be_v arm_n invent_v in_o our_o time_n i_o have_v divide_v the_o body_n of_o the_o batailon_n into_o 10._o band_n as_o the_o roman_n do_v they_o into_o 10._o cohorte_n and_o have_v appoint_v the_o harquebusier_n and_o the_o forlorn_a hope_n to_o begin_v the_o battle_n and_o for_o skirmish_n as_o the_o roman_n do_v their_o velite_n and_o have_v give_v they_o two_o captain_n and_o two_o ensign_n to_o the_o intent_n to_o have_v better_a service_n of_o they_o then_o if_o they_o have_v none_o and_o also_o for_o to_o employ_v they_o in_o the_o labour_n of_o the_o war_n as_o the_o other_o band_n and_o for_o that_o the_o arm_n be_v borrow_v of_o diverse_a nation_n the_o band_n must_v also_o be_v perticipant_n of_o the_o order_n of_o diverse_a nation_n and_o therefore_o i_o have_v ordain_v that_o every_o one_o of_o the_o ten_o band_n shall_v have_v 8_o rank_n of_o pike_n before_o the_o ensign_n and_o 8_o behind_o and_o 4_o rank_n of_o halbarde_n in_o the_o midst_n so_o that_o by_o that_o mean_v every_o band_n do_v make_v 20_o rank_n and_o every_o rank_n have_v 21._o man_n the_o pike_n do_v serve_v for_o to_o resist_v horseman_n to_o break_v into_o the_o footman_n and_o to_o withstand_v the_o first_o assault_n of_o their_o enemy_n which_o pike_n i_o will_v use_v only_o to_o defend_v myself_o and_o afterward_o use_v the_o target_n which_o the_o pikeman_n do_v carry_v at_o their_o back_n and_o halberd_n to_o vanquish_v my_o enemy_n and_o who_o so_o will_v consider_v of_o the_o force_n of_o this_o order_n shall_v find_v that_o everye_o sort_n of_o arm_n shall_v do_v his_o office_n thoughlye_o for_o the_o pike_n be_v profitable_a against_o the_o horseman_n and_o when_o the_o footman_n do_v meet_a batailon_n against_o batailon_n they_o serve_v to_o a_o good_a use_n before_o that_o the_o rank_n be_v throng_v together_o but_o after_o that_o they_o be_v once_o at_o the_o close_a the_o pike_n can_v do_v no_o more_o service_n wherefore_o the_o swisser_n to_o avoid_v this_o inconvenience_n after_o everye_o three_o rank_n of_o pike_n do_v place_n one_o rank_n of_o halbarde_n which_o they_o do_v to_o the_o intent_n to_o give_v their_o pikeman_n space_n and_o place_n to_o fight_v in_o a_o press_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o but_o as_o for_o we_o we_o will_v have_v our_o pikeman_n both_o before_o the_o ensign_n and_o behind_o to_o carry_v target_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v halbarde_n in_o the_o midst_n by_o mean_n of_o this_o order_n to_o resist_v both_o horseman_n and_o footman_n and_o to_o break_v into_o a_o enemy_n for_o you_o know_v that_o pike_n may_v serve_v no_o turn_n after_o that_o the_o rank_n be_v preass_v together_o because_o that_o the_o soldier_n be_v then_o as_o it_o be_v one_o in_o another_o neck_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o pikeman_n have_v nothing_o but_o their_o pike_n and_o sword_n the_o pike_n be_v abandon_v they_o shall_v be_v naked_a for_o which_o cause_n i_o have_v give_v they_o target_n to_o cover_v themselves_o from_o blow_n and_o to_o fight_v in_o all_o place_n what_o press_v soever_o there_o be_v moreover_o the_o halberdier_n may_v also_o fight_v better_o in_o a_o press_n then_o the_o pikeman_n which_o halberdier_n be_v express_o appoint_v for_o this_o purpose_n and_o likewise_o they_o may_v follow_v the_o say_a target_n at_o the_o heel_n who_o be_v heavy_o lade_v to_o rescue_v they_o with_o their_o halberd_n and_o as_o for_o the_o target_n man_n i_o will_v have_v they_o but_o only_o to_o thrust_v at_o the_o face_n and_o leg_n or_o at_o any_o other_o part_n that_o be_v unarm_v but_o leave_v these_o small_a thing_n i_o will_v go_v range_v the_o ten_o band_n in_o one_o whole_a batailon_n how_o to_o
