the_o best_a and_o safe_a way_n yet_o than_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v throng_v up_o together_o by_o the_o pike_n and_o the_o distance_n of_o place_n be_v take_v from_o they_o the_o use_n of_o

in_o the_o and_o such_o open_a gap_n and_o street_n that_o the_o horse_n may_v break_v in_o at_o pleasure_n or_o any_o other_o new_a foot_n division_n may_v sally_v forth_o and_o over_o throw_v the_o

show_v you_o the_o several_a way_n of_o imbattail_v of_o a_o regiment_n with_o the_o different_a opinion_n of_o soldier_n together_o with_o their_o argument_n and_o strength_n of_o reason_n thereupon_o it_o rest_v now_o that_o i_o deliver_v my_o particular_a opinion_n touch_v the_o best_a election_n wherein_o although_o i_o know_v many_o oposites_n will_v rise_v up_o against_o i_o yet_o free_o and_o ingenious_o thus_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o the_o first_o manner_n of_o imbattel_v by_o several_a company_n reconcile_v and_o every_o captain_n lead_v of_o his_o own_o man_n be_v excellent_a for_o show_v at_o general_a muster_n or_o at_o any_o peaceful_a triumph_n where_o the_o exercise_n of_o arm_n be_v require_v because_o it_o be_v comely_a and_o beautiful_a to_o behold_v

only_o best_a way_n for_o the_o imbattail_v of_o a_o regiment_n of_o one_o thousand_o man_n or_o more_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o argument_n of_o imbattail_v a_o regiment_n wherein_o if_o any_o
