if_o you_o intend_v to_o use_v this_o kind_n of_o discipline_n which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o this_o book_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o strength_n two_o hundred_o eighty_o eight_o man_n half_a pike_n and_o

the_o horse_n the_o horse_n likewise_o by_o fight_v of_o foot_n among_o they_o become_v a_o firm_a body_n than_o by_o fight_a horse_n alone_o and_o such_o as_o shall_v make_v trial_n of_o this_o way_n of_o imbattel_v their_o troop_n shall_v find_v it_o very_o advantageous_a unto_o they_o in_o fight_v a_o battle_n and_o no_o hindrance_n at_o all_o but_o a_o great_a furtherance_n to_o the_o

if_o they_o be_v bold_o and_o well_o throw_v unto_o every_o division_n of_o foot_n in_o the_o battle_n of_o your_o army_n you_o ought_v to_o have_v two_o division_n of_o horse_n of_o forty_o in_o a_o

governor_n ought_v to_o have_v a_o powder-mill_n in_o his_o town_n and_o in_o his_o magazine_n good_a store_n of_o brimstone_n and_o one_o that_o be_v skilful_a in_o make_v of_o powder_n and_o another_o that_o have_v skill_n in_o make_v match_n and_o he_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o sow_v at_o a_o fit_a time_n of_o the_o year_n a_o competent_a quantity_n of_o hempseed_n for_o the_o make_n of_o match_n if_o the_o corn-mill_n about_o a_o town_n lie_v so_o that_o the_o enemy_n may_v be_v able_a to_o spoil_v and_o destroy_v they_o than_o the_o governor_n ought_v to_o see_v his_o town_n

now_o the_o best_a way_n to_o prevent_v petar_v the_o port_n be_v to_o have_v draw-bridge_n and_o halfmoon_n without_o the_o port_n and_o portcullise_n at_o the_o port_n and_o turn-pike_n upon_o the_o highway_n right_a against_o your_o halfmoon_n the_o way_n for_o the_o round_n ought_v to_o be_v easy_a and_o convenient_a the_o sentinel_n well_o set_v the_o guard_n very_o exact_a and_o the_o company_n that_o be_v to_o watch_n shall_v always_o draw_v lot_n for_o their_o guard_n and_o if_o you_o suspect_v any_o officer_n or_o soldier_n for_o betray_v your_o town_n as_o in_o civil_a war_n soldier_n be_v apt_a to_o do_v or_o when_o they_o be_v ill_o pay_v then_o must_v you_o order_v your_o guard_n after_o this_o manner_n let_v your_o company_n that_o watch_v draw_v lot_n for_o their_o guard_n upon_o the_o parrado_n place_n every_o night_n when_o they_o have_v draw_v lot_n for_o their_o guard_n let_v those_o company_n who_o lot_n fall_v to_o watch_v at_o the_o port_n be_v order_v after_o this_o manner_n that_o company_n who_o lot_n fall_v to_o watch_v at_o a_o port_n let_v the_o one_o half_a of_o that_o company_n watch_v at_o the_o port_n that_o be_v appoint_v they_o by_o

be_v order_v in_o the_o like_a manner_n now_o here_o you_o must_v note_v that_o if_o a_o governor_n will_v have_v his_o town_n secure_v from_o sudden_a surprise_v he_o must_v have_v always_o without_o the_o port_n of_o his_o town_n halfmoon_n and_o turn-pike_n upon_o the_o highway_n right_a against_o the_o halfmoon_n and_o portcullise_n at_o his_o port_n the_o gentleman_n that_o be_v to_o watch_v at_o each_o portcullis_n ought_v to_o be_v four_o which_o must_v be_v draw_v and_o relieve_v from_o the_o main-guard_n these_o gentleman_n ought_v to_o be_v lock_v up_o in_o the_o place_n where_o the_o portcullise_n stand_v until_o they_o be_v relieve_v and_o the_o captain_n of_o the_o main-guard_n ought_v always_o to_o keep_v the_o key_n all_o the_o other_o company_n appoint_v for_o the_o watch_n be_v to_o watch_v according_a unto_o their_o lot_n all_o mean_n must_v be_v use_v to_o hinder_v intelligence_n and_o treachery_n the_o guard_n double_v always_o upon_o market-day_n and_o fair-day_n and_o upon_o any_o alarm_n those_o soldier_n that_o have_v not_o the_o guard_n ought_v to_o repair_v with_o their_o arm_n speedy_o to_o their_o colour_n and_o from_o thence_o the_o company_n be_v to_o make_v all_o the_o haste_n possible_a to_o attain_v to_o the_o place_n that_o be_v appoint_v they_o to_o defend_v upon_o any_o alarm_n thus_o much_o every_o company_n that_o have_v not_o the_o watch_n ought_v to_o know_v and_o have_v order_n for_o the_o same_o beforehand_o if_o you_o mistrust_v the_o fidelity_n of_o the_o townsman_n you_o ought_v to_o keep_v a_o good_a

if_o they_o be_v find_v out_o of_o their_o house_n after_o nine_o of_o the_o clock_n at_o night_n likewise_o if_o you_o mistrust_v the_o fidelity_n of_o the_o townsman_n it_o be_v very_o necessary_a that_o there_o be_v a_o work_n raise_v against_o the_o rampire_n of_o the_o town_n the_o which_o must_v face_v the_o town_n and_o command_v part_n of_o it_o and_o one_o of_o the_o port_n in_o this_o work_n you_o ought_v to_o build_v place_n for_o to_o keep_v your_o magazine_n in_o and_o at_o the_o entrance_n of_o this_o work_n without_o the_o port_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a work_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o draw-bridge_n and_o a_o port_n cullis_n and_o the_o draw-bridge_n ought_v never_o to_o be_v down_o or_o let_v down_o but_o at_o relief_n time_n the_o port_n of_o your_o town_n ought_v to_o be_v shut_v at_o sunsetting_a and_o to_o be_v open_v a_o little_a after_o sunrising_n before_o you_o open_v your_o port_n in_o a_o morning_n you_o ought_v to_o send_v out_o small_a party_n to_o

day-guard_n for_o the_o security_n of_o your_o cattle_n and_o then_o the_o townsman_n may_v drive_v forth_o their_o cattle_n you_o ought_v likewise_o to_o have_v a_o trumpeter_n to_o watch_v continual_o on_o the_o high_a steeple_n in_o your_o town_n to_o give_v you_o notice_n of_o the_o approach_n of_o any_o enemy_n by_o day_n or_o of_o any_o alarm_n or_o fire_n by_o night_n a_o
