finish_v the_o bastion_n belong_v to_o the_o angle_n 134_o the_o next_o angle_n 113_o which_o be_v near_a to_o a_o hexagon_n therefore_o that_o bastion_n must_v be_v frame_v from_o the_o short_a

and_o always_o the_o captain_n ought_v to_o march_v his_o company_n after_o this_o manner_n all_o abrest_n provide_v he_o have_v ground_n sufficient_a for_o the_o same_o and_o be_v far_o more_o

such_o time_n the_o sergeant_n be_v to_o march_v upon_o the_o angles_n as_o be_v before_o describe_v move_v to_o and_o again_o sometime_o upon_o the_o flank_n and_o cause_v the_o soldier_n to_o keep_v

i_o come_v to_o make_v description_n of_o a_o body_n i_o shall_v show_v some_o further_a reason_n of_o the_o sergeant_n place_n of_o lesser_a company_n with_o the_o place_n of_o the_o drum_n it_o happen_v many_o time_n some_o company_n fall_v not_o out_o so_o large_a as_o be_v before_o set_v forth_o and_o that_o they_o have_v but_o three_o sergeant_n and_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v know_v

rearguard_n where_o then_o the_o place_n of_o these_o three_o sergeant_n and_o three_o drum_n shall_v be_v upon_o their_o long_a march_n and_o where_o to_o be_v march_v all_o abr_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o young_a sergeant_n be_v always_o to_o attend_v the_o captain_n and_o have_v no_o division_n to_o lead_v he_o be_v to_o be_v upon_o the_o right_a angle_n of_o the_o front_n there_o expect_v his_o captain_n pleasure_n and_o command_n and_o the_o second_o sergeant_n be_v to_o lead_v the_o second_o division_n of_o pike_n and_o the_o elder_a sergeant_n to_o lead_v the_o last_o division_n of_o musketeer_n or_o the_o rearguard_n here_o be_v their_o place_n upon_o the_o long_a march_n but_o when_o they_o be_v draw_v up_o and_o so_o march_v even_o abr_a the_o young_a sergeant_n place_n as_o be_v before_o express_v be_v to_o march_v upon_o the_o right_a angle_n in_o the_o front_n and_o the_o elder_a upon_o the_o left_a the_o second_o sergeant_n be_v to_o march_v in_o the_o right_a angle_n in_o the_o rear_n they_o have_v their_o place_n thus_o state_v be_v to_o move_v sometime_o up_o and_o down_o upon_o the_o flank_n in_o their_o march_v cause_v the_o soldier_n to_o keep_v their_o due_a distance_n of_o order_n in_o file_n and_o open_a order_n in_o rank_n and_o to_o march_v even_o abr_a and_o after_o they_o may_v return_v to_o their_o place_n again_o but_o here_o methinks_v i_o meet_v with_o some_o objector_n by_o the_o way_n who_o say_v the_o elder_a be_v much_o wrong_v herein_o for_o that_o it_o be_v his_o proper_a place_n to_o be_v upon_o the_o right_n that_o when_o forlorn_n be_v draw_v off_o against_o a_o enemy_n he_o be_v there_o ready_a first_o to_o lead_v they_o on_o claim_v it_o as_o his_o due_n to_o give_v the_o first_o on_o set_n and_o therefore_o far_o more_o honour_n for_o he_o to_o be_v on_o the_o right_a then_o on_o the_o left_a and_o the_o elder_a sergeant_n rather_o place_v on_o the_o left_a then_o on_o the_o right_n as_o for_o the_o second_o sergeant_n place_n it_o be_v fit_a he_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o rear_n to_o assist_v the_o lieutenant_n there_o he_o have_v none_o but_o he_o to_o help_v he_o if_o any_o occasion_n shall_v require_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v the_o young_a sergeant_n place_n to_o be_v upon_o the_o right_a angle_n either_o upon_o a_o stand_v or_o upon_o a_o march_n and_o not_o the_o elder_a for_o these_o reason_n follow_v the_o young_a sergeant_n be_v not_o place_v there_o for_o any_o honour_n that_o it_o be_v to_o he_o for_o he_o have_v no_o division_n at_o all_o to_o lead_v upon_o the_o march_n except_o the_o company_n be_v very_o great_a and_o if_o so_o he_o be_v place_v so_o near_o the_o captain_n to_o be_v serviceable_a to_o he_o to_o carry_v and_o convey_v his_o pleasure_n unto_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o officer_n as_o for_o the_o lead_n of_o the_o vanguard_n upon_o the_o march_n the_o captain_n take_v that_o place_n unto_o himself_o and_o it_o be_v far_o more_o honour_n unto_o the_o elder_a sergeant_n to_o be_v a_o leader_n of_o the_o rearguard_n or_o entire_o the_o left_a flank_n then_o to_o lead_v a_o subdivision_n of_o pike_n and_o beside_o that_o it_o be_v proper_a for_o his_o place_n to_o be_v upon_o the_o left_a when_o they_o be_v all_o draw_v up_o upon_o a_o breast_n for_o these_o two_o reason_n as_o first_o he_o be_v thereupon_o in_o readiness_n to_o take_v his_o due_a place_n upon_o the_o sub-dividing_a on_o the_o long_a march_n and_o again_o upon_o a_o stand_v when_o they_o be_v all_o draw_v up_o and_o ready_a to_o engage_v against_o a_o enemy_n and_o the_o forlorn_n to_o be_v draw_v forth_o equal_o alike_o from_o both_o flank_n he_o be_v then_o as_o ready_a in_o the_o front_n to_o execute_v his_o captain_n command_n the_o young_a sergeant_n be_v likewise_o send_v to_o be_v something_o helpful_a to_o he_o and_o attend_v after_o for_o further_a order_n from_o his_o captain_n to_o send_v he_o relief_n by_o the_o second_o sergeant_n as_o occasion_n shall_v require_v so_o that_o in_o my_o judgement_n take_v it_o either_o upon_o the_o long_a march_n or_o otherwise_o when_o draw_v all_o up_o even_o abr_a all_o thing_n be_v so_o state_v for_o his_o due_a honour_n and_o place_n that_o he_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o complain_v nor_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n have_v all_o their_o due_a and_o proper_a place_n which_o do_v belong_v unto_o they_o as_o for_o the_o place_n of_o the_o drum_n upon_o the_o long_a march_n every_o division_n ought_v to_o have_v his_o drum_n fall_v between_o such_o rank_n as_o before_o express_v except_v only_o the_o second_o division_n of_o pike_n which_o may_v be_v excuse_v when_o they_o be_v to_o beat_v a_o march_n as_o be_v all_o draw_v up_o they_o be_v to_o fall_v in_o two_o to_o beat_v even_o abre_v upon_o the_o right_n and_o one_o upon_o the_o left_a as_o be_v before_o set_v down_o if_o it_o shall_v chance_v further_o in_o a_o company_n to_o be_v so_o small_a to_o have_v but_o three_o division_n that_o be_v to_o say_v one_o division_n of_o musketeer_n in_o the_o van_n the_o body_n of_o pike_n in_o the_o midst_n and_o another_o division_n of_o musketeer_n to_o bring_v up_o the_o rearguard_n and_o have_v but_o two_o sergeant_n and_o two_o drum_n the_o young_a sergeant_n place_n will_v be_v as_o before_o mention_v upon_o the_o right_n in_o the_o front_n
