my_o judgement_n there_o can_v be_v a_o true_a state_v the_o dignity_n of_o a_o rank_n and_o file_n then_o that_o which_o shall_v conform_v to_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o captain_n as_o they_o be_v draw_v up_o a_o breast_n all_o in_o a_o regiment_n now_o for_o as_o much_o as_o many_o regiment_n consist_v of_o several_a number_n of_o captain_n and_o company_n in_o they_o as_o some_o six_o

for_o to_o employ_v that_o little_a talon_n which_o late_o my_o endeavour_n have_v obtain_v to_o do_v they_o service_n and_o shall_v forthwith_o set_v down_o unto_o they_o four_o table_n of_o

and_o eight_o deep_a and_o last_o six_o a_o breast_n and_o six_o deep_a wherein_o every_o ingenious_a soldier_n shall_v easy_o know_v his_o particular_a place_n of_o honour_n and_o dignity_n both_o in_o rank_n and_o file_n wherein_o he_o stand_v the_o table_n be_v thus_o set_v forth_o unto_o the_o soldier_n view_n as_o be_v before_o express_v methinks_v i_o hear_v some_o say_v sir_n we_o like_v the_o draw_v forth_o and_o the_o manner_n of_o
flank_n reer_n order_v your_o pike_n and_o put_v up_o your_o sword_n this_o way_n of_o charge_v to_o the_o horse_n i_o have_v set_v down_o as_o be_v practise_v sometime_o among_o we_o in_o our_o private_a meeting_n but_o i_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v of_o little_a use_n to_o receive_v a_o desperate_a charge_n of_o the_o horse_n for_o by_o these_o charge_v the_o soldier_n be_v in_o so_o lame_a and_o weak_a a_o posture_n that_o the_o horse_n can_v choose_v if_o they_o come_v on_o with_o a_o full_a career_n but_o bear_v the_o pike_n and_o pike-man_n down_o to_o the_o ground_n therefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n the_o best_a way_n of_o oppose_v the_o horse_n charge_n be_v that_o which_o we_o learn_v of_o our_o ever_o honour_a captain_n major_a henry_n tillier_n in_o the_o military_a garden_n which_o be_v file_n close_v to_o the_o midst_n to_o their_o close_a order_n insomuch_o that_o there_o be_v not_o above_o half_a a_o foot_n interval_n of_o ground_n between_o file_n and_o file_n the_o pike_n port_v and_o after_o close_v their_o rank_n forward_o so_o close_o that_o they_o lock_v themselves_o one_o within_o another_o and_o then_o charge_v on_o which_o in_o my_o judgement_n be_v so_o secure_a a_o way_n from_o rout_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o body_n of_o horse_n to_o enter_v therein_o and_o far_o to_o my_o best_a remembrance_n i_o never_o can_v meet_v with_o any_o soldier_n that_o have_v be_v abroad_o upon_o any_o service_n that_o ever_o see_v any_o charge_v of_o the_o pike_n at_o the_o foot_n therefore_o i_o will_v further_o proceed_v from_o order_n advance_v
