hand_n here_o you_o see_v the_o file_n 1._o stand_v still_o and_o have_v give_v their_o volley_n be_v to_o retreat_n between_o the_o file_n 4._o and_o the_o file_n 3._o than_o the_o file_n 2._o stand_v still_o and_o have_v give_v their_o volley_n retreat_n between_o the_o file_n 4._o and_o the_o file_n 1._o than_o the_o file_n 3._o stand_v still_o and_o have_v give_v their_o volley_n retreat_n between_o the_o file_n 4._o and_o the_o file_n 2._o and_o then_o the_o whole_a wing_n be_v as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o first_o 1.2.3_o now_o as_o thus_o you_o may_v cast_v off_o the_o file_n to_o both_o hand_n make_v the_o file_n 10._o to_o stand_v and_o the_o volley_n give_v to_o retreat_n between_o the_o file_n 8._o and_o the_o file_n 7._o then_o the_o file_n 9_o to_o stand_v and_o the_o volley_n give_v to_o retreat_n between_o the_o file_n 7._o and_o the_o file_n 10._o then_o the_o file_n 8._o to_o stand_v and_o the_o volley_n give_v to_o retreat_v between_o the_o file_n 7._o

on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o the_o file_n 10._o on_o the_o left_a hand_n in_o the_o manner_n of_o wing_n and_o have_v give_v their_o volley_n shall_v stand_v still_o till_o the_o rear_n be_v

8._o as_o in_o the_o former_a example_n and_o so_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o file_v one_o after_o another_o this_o example_n appear_v file_n cast_v off_o in_o wing_n last_o there_o be_v file_n cast_v

2._o to_o the_o right_a hand_n which_o have_v give_v fire_n turn_v face_n as_o before_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o then_o retreat_n between_o the_o file_n 4_o and_o 1._o likewise_o in_o the_o

when_o the_o word_n of_o command_n be_v give_v to_o that_o purpose_n diverse_a other_o motion_n there_o be_v belong_v to_o the_o foot_n company_n motion_n as_o the_o turn_n of_o face_n to_o either_o

to_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o ancient_n and_o to_o these_o modern_a time_n also_o as_o you_o may_v perceive_v by_o my_o accidence_n wherein_o i_o have_v set_v you_o down_o the_o several_a word_n of_o command_n belong_v to_o every_o motion_n of_o horse_n now_o in_o use_n all_o which_o be_v so_o near_o a_o kin_n to_o the_o foot_n motion_n that_o i_o hold_v it_o needless_a to_o repeat_v they_o over_o here_o again_o but_o refer_v those_o which_o desire_v to_o learn_v those_o general_a motion_n to_o the_o accidence_n and_o to_o those_o motion_n of_o foot_n which_o be_v already_o specify_v and_o set_v down_o in_o this_o grammar_n i_o will_v now_o proceed_v to_o those_o other_o motion_n and_o imbattayling_n of_o horse_n which_o be_v more_o difficult_a and_o strange_a do_v more_o amaze_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o industrious_a learner_n and_o be_v hard_a attain_a unto_o by_o discourse_n without_o some_o plain_a demonstration_n first_o therefore_o the_o general_a motion_n of_o horse_n at_o this_o day_n wherein_o the_o lance_n the_o light_a staff_n and_o the_o snort_n pistol_n be_v take_v away_o and_o only_o the_o long_a pistol_n and_o dragoone_n in_o use_n be_v contain_v in_o

herein_o you_o be_v to_o call_v to_o mind_n as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o the_o accidence_n that_o as_o the_o rank_n of_o horse_n be_v compound_v of_o uncertain_a number_n so_o the_o file_n must_v ever_o be_v constant_o six_o deep_a be_v compound_v of_o a_o leader_n a_o follower_n two_o middleman_n a_o follower_n file_n and_o a_o bringer_n up_o or_o the_o rear_n man_n according_a to_o this_o demonstration_n 0_o leader_n 1_o follower_n 0_o middle_n man._n 0_o middle_n man._n 1_o follower_n 0_o bringer_n up_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o content_n and_o form_n of_o a_o horse_n file_n from_o which_o certainty_n and_o true_a know_a ground_n every_o skilful_a commander_n may_v build_v up_o any_o body_n that_o he_o please_v whereas_o if_o both_o rank_n and_o file_n shall_v be_v

of_o the_o army_n and_o what_o extent_n of_o file_n the_o whole_a army_n march_v in_o the_o same_o number_n and_o proportion_n you_o shall_v keep_v in_o your_o private_a company_n which_o questionless_a at_o this_o day_n be_v the_o number_n tenn_n and_o no_o other_o both_o for_o the_o fittnesse_n of_o the_o number_n in_o discharge_v duty_n as_o also_o in_o that_o by_o the_o number_n

commander_n can_v desire_v thus_o i_o have_v show_v you_o the_o trne_a extent_n of_o a_o file_n motion_n and_o the_o impediment_n which_o hang_v upon_o the_o alteration_n of_o opinion_n wherein_o you_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o in_o all_o military_a motion_n there_o must_v be_v ever_o a_o certain_a and_o infallible_a ground_n whereon_o to_o build_v the_o great_a work_n for_o where_o every_o thing_n be_v uncertain_a there_o all_o thing_n must_v needs_o be_v confuse_v now_o in_o the_o artt_n of_o warr_n rank_n be_v uncertain_a and_o do_v consist_v of_o number_n accord_v to_o

of_o the_o officer_n only_o the_o file_n be_v certain_a and_o without_o alteration_n so_o that_o from_o that_o ground_n every_o good_a and_o great_a commander_n upon_o the_o first_o view_n can_v tell_v how_o to_o shape_v and_o proportion_v any_o battle_n whatsoever_o this_o be_v then_o the_o conclude_a maxim_n touch_v the_o true_a extent_n order_n and_o quantity_n of_o a_o file_n which_o be_v the_o ground_n or_o foundation_n where_o upon_o all_o great_a battle_n be_v build_v we_o will_v now_o proceed_v to_o the_o several_a motion_n belong_v to_o the_o foot_n company_n of_o which_o the_o first_o and_o principal_a be_v the_o drave_v of_o rude_a and_o indigested_a gross_v into_o a_o fair_a orderly_o and_o well_o proportion_v body_n and_o this_o must_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a be_v do_v by_o rankinge_v and_o draw_v forth_o of_o rank_n for_o that_o be_v rude_a and_o un-souldier_n like_a because_o rank_n have_v no_o certainty_n nor_o hold_v any_o constant_a number_n so_o that_o no_o
