pace through the divisions into the Front placing themselves before their own Files and so in like manner the rest This is to be performed when the Battalia marcheth from an Enemy the Enemy pursuing them Now followeth the giving fire in Flanke There are three severarall wayes to give fire in Flanke the body marching the first is The body or Batalia marching by a River side or Moras or Wood or in plaine Champaine ground either assaulted sometimes with horsemen or with foot if it be on both the Flanks at once Then the outmost File on each hand that is on both the Flanks make readie the Commander giveth the word To the right and left present then the outmost File on each hand turnes at 3. motions to the hand commanded and presents giving fire stands fast onely turning their faces as they were towards the Front untill such time as the second File who marched along with the Body hath given fire in the same forme as the first did Then the first File marcheth up even with the second both standing fast till the third File hath given fire and so subsequently all the rest one after another A Serjeant must stand at the head of those files that have given fire or if the division be great a superior Officer takes that place gathering up again that whole wing joyning them in equal front with the pikes The second forme to give fire in Flanke If it be on both Flanks the outmost File on each Flanke being ready at the word of Command presents Having given fire faces againe towards the Front standing fast till the leader of that File which gave fire last be free from the marching Body one pace behinde the bringers up then leadeth his File a round pace up on the other side of that division of Musketteers next unto the pikes till he be equall in Front with the rest of the Leaders his whole File even in ranke with the rest in like manner all the rest of the Files must do in all points as the first did Remembring that as soone as the File hath given fire presently prepareth againe whether he be to stand or move The third forme of giving fire in Flanke The outtermost File next the Enemie being commanded to make readie keeping still along with the Body till such time as they be ready and then at command they turne to the hand directed according to the sight of their enemy either on the right or left Flanke or both together and give fire all together When they have discharged they stand nor still as they did the two former wayes but speedily joyning their rests unto their Muskets turning their faces towards the reare the rear-man or bringer-up being then a leader turning short about the reare of that division of Musketteers going a speedy pace yet orderly next unto the pikes up unto the Front placing himselfe with the rest of the leaders so he that was the Leader before is now the bringer up of the File Observe alwayes in every forme of giving fire in Flank that as the first presents the next file maketh ready keeping still along with the Body presenting not till they be free of the File that gave fire last Two times giving fire in this lâ—st forme the first leader with every man in that File commeth in his first place againe In this manner of giving fire two hundred Musketteers may deliver as many shot in as short a time as three hundred any other way I could very much inlarge my selfe in this Subject but I hope these will content my friends for this time who have honest hearts and judge charitably and because I know that there have beene many very excellent Books of military Discipline set forth within these few years in this Kingdome namely the Instructions for Musters and Armes by order from the Lords of his Majesties most Honourable Privy Councell and thirteen other written by skilfull and painfull Gentlemen Souldiers as I have set downe in my Preface If I had appointed me any command with the horse-troops as I have with the foot-companies I should likewise set downe some observations concerning the exercising and imbattailing of them But for this and some other reasons at this time I omit Only remembring the Officers of the troops of Horse which are yet unskilfull or not so skilfull as they would desire to be to observe the forme and manner of the exercising of the Foot-Companies which will in some measure teach them their duties For in the exercising of Horse and Foot there is not much difference Before I passe any further let me remember the Ensigne bearer in few words concerning his place and duty and the displâ—ying of the Colours The Ensigne or Colours is the honour and reputation of the Captaine and Souldiers therefore the Ensigne-bearer ought not onely to be a good soldier bould and valiant but likewise discreet and wise in counsel and in the absence of the Captaine and Livetenant have the same authority the Captaine hath Where the company is appointed to gather together he ought to be one of the first and to be carefull of his Colours and at all times see that they be well guarded and be ready to do any thing to further the service Within these few yeares a Supreame Commander in setting downe the duty of each Officer in his place speaketh of the Ensigne these words following The Ensigne shall never turne his face out of his order start from any danger nor forsake his Ensigne upon paine of death In a march he may beare his Colours flying rested upon his shoulder before the head of the Pikes And being in a batalia his Colours somtimes advanced and breasted flying in the midst of the Pikes between the halfe Files In a troope the Colours furld or rold up In presence of the Generall or supreme Commander hee must beare his Colours flying and passing by him vaile them the point even with his knee once and no more for that time without any other ceremonies But if he passe by the King or Prince he shall likewise withall bow somewhat one of his knees The Souldiers ought not to forsake or leave their Colours before they be lodged and then with leave of the Captaine may depart The postures of the Colours Note that in those parts where the wars are especially within the Leager or any Army in the field the Ensigne ought not to display his Colours but onely to beare them flying marching skirmishing or at a stand or to vaile them as I have shewed before But with the trayned bands in those parts and likewise within this kingdome the Ensigne doth use at their meetings or Musters some more postures in displaying his Colours The Ensigne may performe most parr of the postures and motions with the Pikes except laying downe cheeking and trayling for which two last he may use comporting 1 Hand your Colours 2 Order your Colours 3 Shoulder your Colours 4 Advance your Colours 5

The body wheeling The body to the right wheele moving on the right cornerman To the left wheel moving on the left corner man Even so right or left about To the right wheel moving on the middle leader or leaders or left or about at discretion The front or flanks wheeling into the center or midst of the body Front wheele into the center then face to the Leader or Commander if need require wheel again the front into the center or midst of the body then face as before the first wheeling bringeth all the Musketteers before the body of Pikes the second wheeling into the middest of the Pikes the third wheeling unto the rear of the Pikes the fourth wheeling on the flankes as at first they were The use of the manner of wheelings Suppose there were three or four files of Musketteers on each hand of the Pikes they could deliver but six or eight shot at once in the front This first wheeling bringeth the Musketteers that they may deliver twenty shot at once being tenne deep The second wheeling bringeth them into the midst delivering them from the violent charge of horse charging in the flankes especially when their powder is spent or upon some policy to cover the Musketteers from sight of the Enemy In like manner the rest of the wheelings are by a skilfull Commander put in practice at convenient time as the occasion offereth Likewise you may wheele the front to the right and left by division to receive the Enemy who is ready to charge both the flanks at once Now follow some formes of doublings which must be performed at a wider distance six twelve or twenty foure foot at the discretion of the Commander Remember alwaies the manner and form of opening and closing of files and rankes Being in open order the word being given files close without naming any hand is thus performed the two middle leaders close unto the next distance which is three foot the rest of the files likewise close towards the middle leaders untill they are at the distance commanded If the word be files to the right close then the right hand file moveth not but standeth fast all the rest of the files close towards the right file till they are at their distance appointed If the word be files to the left close then the left file standeth fast the rest of the files close towards the left hand untill they come to the distance commanded If the word be files to the right and left close then the one halfe of the files close to the right hand file which standeth fast the other halfe to the left opening in the middle of the body leaving a space betwixt the two halfe bodies which is done for some speciall use best knowne to the Commander Observe that at what distance soever the company stands in if the word be Close not naming any order whether files or rankes then they must close to the next distance being at twelve foot they close to six foot being at six they close to three foot in the same manner files opening or rankes opening Being in close order if the words be files open not naming any hand then the middle leaders open one from the other unto six foot both wayes the rest of the files on both flankes take their distance from them If the word be Files to the right hand open then the left file or angle moveth not the next file to the left hand first taketh its distance the rest of the files in like manner pressing upon their right hand files till the distance commanded be obtained in opening If the word be Files to the left open then the right file standeth fast the rest of the files opening to the left hand still pressing upon their left hand files till they be in the distance and order commanded Rankes closing If the word be Ranks close then the first rank moveth not namely if they be at a stand all the rest of the ranks close forward till they be at the distance appointed If need require you may close your ranks backward from the front to the reare with this word of command Ranks close backeward then the last ranke moveth not all the rest of the ranks go backward towards the last ranke taking their distance ranke by ranke from the reare or last ranke You may likewise open your rankes from the leaders to the reare or from the bringers up to the front but If the word be without any addition as this that followeth Rankes open Then the first ranke moveth not the rest of the rankes fall backe till they have gained that distance commanded the second ranke standeth first the rest in like manner one after another till they have all performed it If the word be Rankes open forwards Then all the body advanceth forward except the last rank which standeth firme the second to the last taketh the distance first then the rest till they have all performed it Files and Rankes close Sometimes it is convenient to close Files and Rankes both at once then it is performed marching being before at a wider distance at a sodaine to give way unto horse or foot to passe or to enter into a narrow passage or such like The body being at their close order both files and rankes and you would have them open the word of command Files and rankes open Which is from the same distance that they did close doe they open unto againe or unto any other distance commanded both together If they be at a stand then the rankes open first and then the files and in closing the files close first then the ranks If the word be Files and Rankes close to the center Then the halfe files and rankes close to the middle of the depth of the Body the halfe files in the front moving backward the reare halfe â—iles forward till they bee at their distance commanded So likewise opening from the center which may be done in the like manner as is directed before If the Commander have occasion to bring all the rankes into one file or into two the Body being at their order three foot The word Ranks open to 6 foot 12. or more as the number are in Ranke then Ranks to the right hand file or by inversion As you were Ranks to the left by inversion As you were Ranks to the right and left by inversion As you were Ranks to the right by conversion As you were Ranks to the left by conversion As you were Ranks to the right and left by conversion As you were Now followeth the closing of the ranks and opening of the files that which the Ranks performed in File may the Files performe in Ranks Ranks close to your order Files open to 6 foot 12 foot or more agreeable to the depth alwaies having in memory that 6 foot is named open order 12 foot double distance 24 foot double double
