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

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

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 load_v and_o the_o corporal_n pass_v through_o the_o rank_n to_o see_v they_o be_v all_o ready_a upon_o which_o observe_v the_o chief_a officer_n command_v silence_n and_o give_v the_o follow_a word_n of_o command_n viz._n 1._o lay_v your_o right_a hand_n on_o your_o sword_n 2._o draw_v your_o sword_n 3._o put_v your_o sword_n in_o your_o bridle-hand_n 4._o lay_v your_o hand_n on_o your_o pistol_n 5._o hold_v up_o your_o hand_n give_v fire_n when_o you_o have_v fire_v let_v not_o your_o pistol-hand_n sink_v till_o the_o next_o word_n of_o command_n viz._n 6._o return_v your_o pistol_n and_o this_o you_o must_v observe_v in_o fire_v to_o the_o left_a and_o right_a then_o 7._o lay_v your_o hand_n on_o your_o carbine_n 8._o advance_v your_o carbine_n 9_o cock_n your_o carbine_n fire_n 10._o

at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n if_o a_o squadron_n of_o horse_n be_v to_o wheel_n to_o the_o right_n the_o right-hand-man_n must_v not_o close_o to_o the_o left_a as_o have_v in_o ancient_a

observe_v your_o left-hand-man_n to_o close_v the_o file_n the_o right_a wing_n file_n stand_v 1._o close_o your_o file_n 2._o to_o the_o right_n 3._o to_o the_o left_a as_o you_o be_v 4._o to_o the_o

rank_n close_a file_n to_o the_o right_n and_o left_a and_o by_o close_a file_n you_o may_v cleave_v or_o divide_v the_o squadron_n the_o order_n of_o close_a rank_n 1._o file-leader_n stand_v or_o

each_o motion_n how_o double_v rank_n must_v be_v order_v 1._o by_o half_a file_n to_o the_o right_n double_a your_o rank_n to_o the_o front_n 2._o file-leader_n advance_v your_o rank_n file-leader_n

the_o wing_n then_o double_a yur_n rank_n to_o the_o rear_n here_o observe_v the_o first_o file_n must_v open_v the_o half_a rank_n to_o the_o right_n and_o left_a the_o first_o half_a file_n by_o carocol_n then_o to_o the_o right_n and_o left_a double_a your_o rank_n to_o the_o rear_n here_o observe_v the_o last_o half_a file_n must_v open_v the_o half_a rank_n to_o the_o right_n and_o left_a as_o for_o the_o word_n carocol_n it_o signify_v no_o more_o when_o you_o wheel_n by_o it_o than_o that_o it_o be_v make_v by_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o flank_n of_o the_o squadron_n by_o which_o order_n not_o the_o file_n but_o the_o rank_n make_v the_o motion_n there_o be_v a_o other_o word_n which_o some_o may_v not_o well_o understand_v at_o the_o first_o set_v out_o which_o be_v call_v

wheeling_n with_o the_o proper_a word_n of_o command_n when_o the_o word_n be_v give_v viz._n to_o the_o right_n by_o conversion_n understand_v that_o you_o must_v close_v your_o right-leg_n to_o

must_v the_o leg_n be_v close_v by_o half_a rank_n and_o conversion_n divide_v the_o squadron_n into_o two_o troop_n if_o you_o will_v reduce_v the_o squadron_n the_o word_n of_o command_n be_v by_o
