the_o trigger_n try_v your_o pan_n with_o false_a flash_n lay_v it_o down_o at_o command_n and_o by_o the_o same_o order_n take_v it_o up_o again_o shorten_v it_o to_o the_o pan_n that_o it_o may_v

as_o it_o relate_v to_o exercise_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v take_v leave_v of_o the_o foot_n and_o make_v a_o visit_n to_o the_o horse_n exercise_n by_o beat_n of_o drum_n relate_v to_o the_o foot_n there_o be_v usual_o observe_v in_o this_o six_o point_n which_o be_v call_v point_n of_o war_n and_o be_v say_v to_o be_v semi-vocal_a because_o by_o they_o the_o soldier_n understand_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v and_o can_v distinguish_v their_o duty_n and_o exercise_n and_o of_o these_o in_o their_o order_n 1._o the_o call_n this_o be_v to_o summon_v the_o soldier_n together_o to_o their_o arm_n or_o upon_o any_o other_o occasion_n as_o to_o hear_v proclamation_n or_o receive_v direction_n etc._n etc._n from_o the_o officer_n and_o be_v not_o without_o leave_n to_o ramble_n especial_o in_o time_n of_o war_n beyond_o the_o hear_n of_o it_o under_o great_a penalty_n 2._o the_o troop_n when_o the_o soldier_n hear_v this_o they_o must_v advance_v their_o pike_n shoulder_v their_o musket_n and_o close_v their_o rank_n and_o file_n to_o order_n follow_v their_o leader_n or_o commander_n to_o the_o place_n of_o rendezvous_n quarter_n or_o elsewhere_o 3._o the_o march_n when_o you_o hear_v this_o you_o must_v betake_v you_o to_o your_o open_a order_n in_o rank_n shoulder_v both_o musket_n and_o pike_n and_o so_o as_o the_o drum_n beat_v you_o march_v slow_a or_o quick_a 4._o the_o preparative_a be_v to_o warn_v you_o to_o close_v your_o proportionable_a or_o due_a distance_n when_o you_o be_v to_o prepare_v for_o battle_n or_o skirmish_n and_o to_o see_v every_o thing_n be_v in_o order_n that_o may_v turn_v to_o advantage_n 5._o the_o battle_n this_o be_v by_o some_o call_v the_o charge_n or_o signal_n to_o charge_v the_o enemy_n and_o be_v beat_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o fight_n to_o animate_v the_o soldier_n courage_n 6._o the_o retreat_n this_o be_v beat_v when_o be_v overpower_v it_o be_v think_v convenient_a to_o draw_v off_o and_o save_v a_o total_a rout_n or_o sometime_o when_o a_o enemy_n you_o suppose_v strong_a than_o yourself_o advance_v towards_o you_o to_o engage_v but_o by_o retreat_v you_o avoid_v he_o there_o be_v two_o more_o

attend_v on_o their_o duty_n also_o in_o garrison_n to_o let_v the_o people_n know_v when_o its_o safe_a to_o go_v abroad_o the_o out_o scout_n be_v relieve_v the_o exercise_n of_o horse_n in_o troop_n or_o squadron_n etc._n etc._n the_o exercise_n of_o the_o horse_n be_v various_a from_o that_o of_o the_o foot_n and_o therefore_o that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v want_v in_o what_o be_v

the_o word_n of_o command_n proper_a with_o their_o explanation_n and_o first_o when_o a_o troop_n or_o squadron_n be_v draw_v out_o to_o exercise_n i_o suppose_v their_o carbine_n and_o pistol_n
