that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o forlorn_a or_o loose_a body_n of_o the_o vanguard_n battle_n rear_n horse_n and_o the_o great_a artillery_n and_o of_o these_o if_o any_o be_v imperfect_a or_o out_o of_o frame_n either_o in_o order_n number_n shape_n or_o government_n the_o whole_a army_n be_v sick_a and_o howsoever_o like_o xerxes_n host_n they_o may_v make_v the_o sky_n dark_a with_o their_o

you_o will_v draw_v up_o any_o main_a battle_n you_o must_v look_v into_o the_o square_a root_n of_o great_a number_n as_o the_o square_a root_n of_o one_o hundred_o be_v ten_o because_o the_o body_n
