safety_n in_o despite_n of_o the_o enemy_n the_o form_n of_o this_o battle_n be_v express_v in_o the_o next_o figure_n follow_v the_o battle_n to_o withstand_v the_o wedge_n of_o horse_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o this_o bataile_n be_v interline_v with_o the_o shot_n &_o guard_v with_o the_o pike_n so_o that_o although_o there_o be_v a_o field_n of_o entrance_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o straight_a place_n of_o much_o danger_n and_o howsoever_o the_o enemy_n may_v come_v on_o bold_o yet_o he_o can_v but_o return_v heavy_o many_o other_o sort_n of_o imbatial_v there_o be_v though_o none_o more_o necessary_a as_o the_o battle_n call_v diamond_n the_o battle_n triangular_a and_o such_o like_a which_o novelty_n i_o know_v be_v desirous_a to_o search_v into_o and_o the_o proportion_n i_o know_v at_o the_o first_o carry_v a_o great_a show_n of_o much_o skill_n and_o coun_v especial_o to_o the_o ignorant_a but_o be_v once_o wade_v into_o with_o judgement_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o facile_a or_o easy_a therefore_o to_o draw_v a_o diamond_n battle_n first_o draw_v your_o battle_n into_o a_o square_a according_a to_o the_o first_o figure_n in_o this_o book_n or_o for_o your_o better_a remembrance_n according_a to_o this_o figure_n follow_v which_o be_v but_o compound_v of_o 144_o man_n may_v serve_v to_o express_v the_o manner_n and_o fashion_v of_o 4000_o the_o square_a battle_n whereof_o to_o frame_v a_o diamond_n here_o you_o behold_v the_o square_a or_o form_n of_o a_o battalion_n now_o to_o reduce_v this_o to_o a_o diamond_n or_o imperfect_a square_n the_o captain_n shall_v come_v to_o the_o leader_n of_o the_o right_a hand_n file_n which_o be_v the_o first_o and_o principal_a man_n of_o the_o company_n and_o advance_v before_o he_o shall_v wheel_v the_o whole_a company_n into_o a_o direct_a line_n with_o the_o right_a point_n forward_o and_o the_o left_a point_n descend_v as_o in_o this_o figure_n follow_v the_o diamond_n battle_n here_o you_o see_v that_o by_o draw_v forth_o of_o the_o battle_n howsoever_o square_v at_o the_o first_o yet_o by_o alteration_n of_o distance_n it_o be_v bring_v into_o a_o perfect_a diamond_n form_n and_o although_o the_o pike_n and_o shot_n keep_v their_o place_n as_o in_o the_o square_a yet_o at_o your_o pleasure_n you_o may_v change_v they_o and_o draw_v the_o weapon_n to_o what_o part_n of_o the_o battle_n and_o into_o what_o file_n yourself_o please_v now_o to_o bring_v this_o diamond_n or_o any_o other_o diamond_n into_o a_o perfect_a triangular_a you_o shall_v cut_v off_o the_o diamond_n battle_n in_o the_o midst_n through_o the_o two_o middle_a extreme_a part_n and_o then_o will_v remain_v unto_o you_o two_o triangular_n a_o great_a and_o a_o less_o which_o you_o may_v double_v or_o increase_v as_o you_o shall_v find_v occasion_n so_o that_o albeit_o by_o this_o division_n you_o find_v how_o to_o make_v this_o proportion_n yet_o perceive_v how_o you_o may_v double_v and_o increase_v both_o the_o file_n and_o rank_n who_o number_n be_v ever_o constant_a and_o certain_a according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o triangle_n you_o may_v at_o pleasure_n without_o any_o division_n or_o separation_n of_o body_n form_n this_o triangle_n out_o of_o the_o file_n and_o rank_n only_o but_o because_o you_o shall_v not_o stand_v amaze_v at_o this_o business_n i_o will_v in_o a_o few_o character_n contain_v but_o a_o few_o man_n which_o be_v the_o easy_a for_o capasity_n show_v you_o how_o to_o bring_v a_o diamond_n to_o a_o triangle_n as_o in_o this_o figure_n follow_v appear_v a_o diamond_n battle_n bring_v into_o a_o triangle_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o diamond_n be_v cut_v into_o two_o triangle_n which_o be_v lead_v several_a way_n may_v serve_v as_o two_o body_n and_o that_o to_o exceed_v good_a and_o honourable_a purpose_n for_o this_o diamond_n or_o sharp_a pierce_a body_n be_v of_o great_a force_n to_o enter_v and_o break_v any_o square_a body_n and_o be_v but_o enter_v in_o with_o the_o point_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n follow_v with_o such_o order_n and_o strength_n and_o so_o increase_v and_o make_v the_o breach_n great_a and_o great_a that_o the_o square_a body_n can_v hardly_o join_v together_o again_o but_o fall_v into_o rout_n or_o into_o a_o retreat_n that_o be_v full_a as_o dishonourable_a and_o to_o this_o purpose_n be_v this_o diamond_n foot_n battle_n first_o of_o all_o invent_a there_o be_v again_o another_o manner_n of_o imbattail_v this_o private_a company_n of_o 200_o which_o howsoever_o it_o be_v seldom_o or_o never_o use_v in_o fight_n yet_o it_o be_v of_o excellent_a use_n in_o the_o field_n both_o before_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o battle_n &_o after_o the_o battle_n be_v frame_v this_o manner_n of_o imbatail_v be_v when_o either_o any_o of_o the_o captain_n officer_n will_v deliver_v a_o private_a message_n to_o the_o company_n which_o none_o but_o themselves_o shall_v hear_v or_o when_o the_o captain_n

will_v deliver_v to_o the_o company_n either_o encouragement_n or_o caution_n the_o manner_n of_o this_o imbattail_v be_v in_o this_o wise_a the_o captain_n shall_v first_o cause_v both_o the_o wing_n of_o shot_n to_o stand_v still_o have_v draw_v they_o up_o into_o their_o close_a order_n than_o he_o shall_v advance_v the_o first_o division_n of_o pike_n upward_o till_o the_o middle_a man_n of_o the_o pike_n to_o the_o rear_n be_v equal_a with_o the_o two_o first_o rank_n of_o shot_n and_o every_o man_n in_o his_o close_a order_n then_o shall_v the_o subdivision_n turn_v their_o face_n

void_a place_n of_o the_o battle_n and_o there_o deliver_v what_o seem_v good_a to_o himself_o which_o finish_v he_o shall_v reduce_v his_o battle_n back_o into_o its_o first_o form_n as_o for_o the_o

to_o do_v in_o all_o thing_n as_o before_o and_o then_o the_o form_n of_o battle_n will_v be_v like_o this_o figure_n follow_v another_o form_n of_o imbattail_v for_o speech_n or_o parley_n in_o this_o form_n of_o imbattail_v though_o the_o centre_n be_v straighten_v yet_o the_o outward_a verge_n of_o the_o battle_n be_v enlarge_v so_o that_o though_o some_o do_v hear_v and_o understand_v

diverse_a other_o form_n of_o imbattail_v there_o be_v for_o a_o private_a company_n of_o 200_o man_n as_o the_o ring_n the_o halfmoon_n the_o spur_n and_o the_o like_a but_o because_o i_o have_v
