which_o i_o answer_v that_o facing_n be_v a_o particular_a turn_n of_o the_o aspect_n from_o one_o part_n to_o another_o whereby_o the_o front_n proper_a become_v a_o front_n accidental_a and_o a_o

which_o can_v choose_v but_o be_v better_o use_v than_o refuse_v for_o the_o word_n face_n be_v but_o one_o syllable_n and_o quick_o pronounce_v and_o give_v so_o clear_a a_o expression_n of_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o commander_n that_o it_o conclude_v it_o necessary_a as_o for_o example_n shall_v you_o command_v a_o company_n to_o double_a rank_n to_o the_o right_n and_o then_o command_v they_o as_o they_o be_v and_o then_o say_v to_o the_o left_a it_o may_v puzzle_v a_o good_a soldier_n at_o the_o first_o to_o discern_v whether_o he_o shall_v face_v or_o double_v the_o like_a mistake_n may_v be_v among_o countermarche_n wherefore_o i_o conceive_v that_o none_o can_v just_o tax_v it_o for_o superfluous_a see_v the_o easy_a expression_n have_v always_o be_v account_v for_o the_o best_a yet_o spare_v i_o for_o my_o intent_n be_v not_o to_o oversway_v any_o man_n in_o his_o opinion_n but_o rather_o to_o deliver_v i_o leave_v all_o man_n free_o to_o their_o own_o like_n if_o my_o intent_n be_v to_o make_v a_o great_a book_n with_o a_o little_a matter_n i_o may_v then_o here_o insert_v figure_n for_o every_o particular_a face_n and_o their_o reducement_n to_o their_o first_o posture_n which_o will_v take_v up_o divers_a sheet_n of_o paper_n and_o to_o little_a purpose_n for_o i_o suppose_v that_o every_o man_n that_o know_v any_o thing_n may_v easy_o conceive_v the_o idea_n of_o any_o ordinary_a face_n in_o his_o mind_n wherefore_o i_o will_v but_o show_v one_o or_o two_o of_o the_o hard_a you_o be_v to_o note_v that_o in_o the_o motion_n of_o face_n every_o

the_o several_a part_n thereof_o when_o we_o instruct_v our_o soldier_n how_o to_o face_v square_a if_o the_o body_n be_v but_o 8._o deep_a command_v the_o two_o first_o rank_n stand_v fast_o the_o
