their_o first_o form_n or_o body_n again_o the_o word_n as_o you_o be_v be_v give_v every_o move_a file_n that_o do_v advance_v shall_v turn_v face_n about_o and_o so_o march_v back_o to_o their_o first_o place_n and_o as_o thus_o you_o advance_v either_o to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n at_o one_o instant_a so_o you_o may_v also_o at_o one_o instant_a advance_v both_o to_o the_o right_n and_o left_a hand_n by_o division_n make_v the_o second_o file_n advance_v before_o the_o first_o the_o four_o before_o the_o three_o the_o seven_o before_o the_o eight_o the_o fyfth_o before_o the_o six_o and_o as_o thus_o in_o advance_v so_o also_o in_o double_v of_o file_n as_o you_o double_a to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n so_o you_o may_v double_v to_o both_o the_o right_n and_o left_a hand_n at_o one_o instant_a by_o division_n the_o second_o file_n pass_v behind_o the_o first_o the_o four_o behind_o the_o three_o than_o the_o seven_o behind_o the_o eight_o and_o the_o five_o behind_o the_o six_o now_o here_o by_o the_o way_n there_o may_v a_o scruple_n arise_v that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o number_n may_v vary_v and_o that_o all_o body_n hold_v not_o one_o even_o or_o just_a content_n or_o number_n that_o then_o in_o case_n there_o be_v a_o odd_a file_n how_o then_o shall_v the_o body_n be_v double_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o you_o happen_v to_o have_v a_o odd_a file_n then_o look_v to_o what_o hand_n you_o double_a unto_o than_o the_o outmost_a file_n to_o the_o contrary_a hand_n shall_v stand_v and_o keep_v his_o place_n firm_a without_o double_v at_o all_o as_o if_o you_o double_a to_o the_o right_a hand_n than_o the_o left_a hand_n file_n stand_v fast_o and_o undouble_v or_o if_o you_o double_a to_o the_o left_a hand_n than_o the_o right_a hand_n file_n stand_v fast_o and_o undouble_v as_o by_o these_o example_n plain_o appear_v the_o odd_a battalion_n vudouble_v the_o odd_a battalion_n double_v thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o odd_a file_n stand_v and_o be_v still_o preserve_v in_o every_o motion_n be_v still_o keep_v in_o its_o order_n both_o by_o the_o leader_n and_o the_o side-man_n and_o when_o so_o ever_o the_o body_n be_v reduce_v into_o its_o first_o form_n or_o station_n then_o be_v it_o full_a and_o perfect_a as_o any_o other_o file_n what_o so_o ever_o the_o next_o necessary_a motion_n unto_o the_o doubling_n and_o advance_v of_o file_n countermarch_v be_v the_o countermarch_v of_o file_n which_o be_v also_o another_o motion_n in_o form_n and_o of_o countermarch_v there_o be_v diverse_a kind_n as_o first_o the_o ordinary_a countermarch_v which_o be_v daily_o use_v among_o we_o when_o so_o ever_o we_o march_v or_o turn_v the_o body_n of_o the_o battalta_n too_o or_o fro_o and_o this_o countermarch_v be_v call_v of_o some_o the_o persian_a countermarch_v because_o it_o be_v first_o in_o use_n among_o they_o other_o call_v it_o the_o cretan_a as_o take_v from_o the_o imitation_n of_o those_o soldier_n &_o other_o call_v it_o the_o choraean_a from_o chorus_n which_o signify_v a_o company_n of_o which_o company_n there_o be_v certain_a dancer_n who_o in_o a_o warlike_a dance_n be_v the_o first_o beginner_n of_o this_o motion_n this_o motion_n be_v perform_v of_o the_o whole_a battalion_n all_o at_o one_o instant_a the_o leader_n of_o the_o file_n upon_o the_o word_n give_v to_o which_o hand_n they_o shall_v countermarch_v begin_v the_o motion_n as_o thus_o if_o the_o word_n be_v give_v to_o countermarch_v to_o the_o right_a hand_n then_o shall_v the_o leader_n of_o the_o file_n at_o one_o instant_a step_n one_o step_v forward_o with_o the_o right_a foot_n then_o bring_v the_o left_a foot_n and_o the_o body_n round_o about_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o so_o march_v down_o through_o the_o distance_n between_o the_o file_n till_o they_o come_v to_o the_o rear_n where_o the_o bringer-up_a stand_v and_o there_o they_o shall_v make_v a_o stand_v and_o in_o this_o motion_n every_o leader_n shall_v observe_v his_o right_a hand_n man_n that_o they_o may_v keep_v their_o front_n whole_a and_o undismembred_a because_o the_o least_o disorder_n in_o this_o motion_n be_v the_o overthrow_n &_o disgrace_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o as_o these_o leader_n begin_v and_o conduct_v in_o this_o orderly_a manner_n so_o shall_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o every_o file_n observe_v true_a place_n and_o distance_n follow_v with_o as_o great_a care_n and_o severity_n every_o man_n observe_v his_o leader_n and_o his_o right_a hand_n man_n and_o that_o by_o no_o mean_n they_o offer_v to_o turn_v till_o they_o have_v make_v good_a the_o first_o place_n where_o the_o file_n leader_n do_v turn_v and_o so_o keep_v their_o rank_n even_o and_o just_a the_o motion_n will_v be_v

countermarch_v to_o the_o rear_n so_o they_o may_v if_o the_o commander_n please_v countermarch_n back_o to_o the_o front_n again_o without_o intermission_n and_o so_o as_o oft_o and_o as_o far_o as_o the_o commander_n please_v now_o in_o this_o countermarch_v it_o will_v be_v observe_v that_o the_o file_n shall_v ever_o be_v well_o open_v as_o at_o the_o open_a order_n of_o six_o foot_n at_o the_o

the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n entire_o so_o it_o may_v be_v make_v both_o to_o the_o right_n and_o left_a hand_n by_o division_n as_o have_v be_v show_v before_o in_o other_o motion_n and_o this_o countermarch_v be_v of_o singular_a use_n for_o it_o charge_v the_o enemy_n stand_v it_o charge_v he_o march_v and_o it_o charge_v he_o retire_v beside_o it_o bring_v every_o hand_n to_o fight_v and_o suffer_v none_o to_o loose_a duty_n countermarch_n the_o next_o countermarch_v be_v that_o which_o be_v call_v the_o lacedaemonian_n countermarch_v as_o be_v first_o receive_v from_o their_o example_n and_o it_o be_v of_o singular_a use_n in_o charge_v of_o the_o enemy_n in_o make_v of_o approach_n and_o in_o gain_v of_o ground_n of_o advantage_n and_o though_o at_o first_o the_o ancient_n find_v

not_o unnecessary_a for_o the_o pike_n and_o other_o short_a weapon_n for_o execution_n because_o it_o bring_v forward_o every_o hand_n in_o the_o charge_n and_o suffer_v none_o to_o loose_a duty_n neither_o do_v they_o at_o any_o time_n stand_v or_o slack_v in_o their_o charge_n but_o still_o advance_v and_o go_v forward_o till_o they_o have_v attain_v the_o end_n of_o their_o purpose_n the_o manner_n of_o this_o nation_n be_v thus_o the_o first_o rank_n or_o leader_n of_o the_o file_n of_o shot_n do_v present_a and_o give_v fire_n then_o stand_v and_o the_o second_o rank_n pass_v either_o to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n according_a to_o commandment_n advance_v before_o the_o first_o rank_n cover_v they_o both_o in_o order_n and_o distance_n then_o the_o three_o rank_n advance_v and_o cover_v the_o second_o the_o four_o the_o three_o and_o so_o forth_o in_o a_o orderly_a charge_n till_o the_o bringer_n up_o or_o rear_n be_v bring_v and_o make_v the_o front_n and_o so_o as_o occasion_n shall_v serve_v to_o continue_v still_o till_o the_o end_n of_o commandment_n now_o for_o the_o pike_n or_o short_a weapon_n they_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o advance_v one_o rank_n before_o

up_o and_o turn_v behind_o their_o leader_n but_o they_o be_v mistake_v and_o conceive_v not_o right_o of_o the_o author_n from_o whence_o they_o take_v their_o instruction_n for_o this_o motion_n rather_o lose_v than_o gain_v ground_n and_o seem_v rather_o to_o retire_v than_o charge_n but_o i_o leave_v the_o reconcilement_n of_o the_o doubt_n to_o those_o of_o better_a judgement_n countermarch_v the_o next_o motion_n be_v call_v the_o macedonian_a countermarch_v but_o from_o what_o ground_n it_o be_v not_o yet_o discuss_v as_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o motion_n it_o be_v in_o this_o wise_a the_o file_n leader_n all_o turn_n about_o their_o face_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n with_o the_o bringer_n up_o go_v against_o they_o on_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n and_o pass_v on_o to_o the_o ground_n before_o the_o front_n of_o the_o battalion_n place_n themselves_o in_o order_n one_o after_o another_o according_a as_o the_o fileleader_n have_v turn_v their_o face_n make_v a_o show_n unto_o the_o enemy_n as_o if_o they_o be_v retire_v or_o run_v away_o which_o entice_v the_o enemy_n to_o pursue_v be_v of_o most_o singular_a use_n to_o make_v he_o leave_v and_o forsake_v any_o place_n or_o ground_n of_o advantage_n other_o take_v this_o motion_n to_o be_v the_o macedonian_a countermarch_v when_o the_o file-leader_n turn_v about_o his_o face_n and_o the_o rest_n pass_v by_o he_o on_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n place_n themselves_o orderly_o one_o behind_o another_o and_o here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o all_o these_o countermarche_n already_o speak_v of_o may_v as_o well_o be_v do_v by_o rank_n as_o by_o fyles_n and_o both_o to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n entire_o or_o to_o both_o by_o division_n or_o both_o by_o conversion_n as_o in_o the_o former_a example_n rank_n the_o next_o motion_n be_v the_o double_n of_o rank_n either_o to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n entire_o as_o when_o the_o second_o rank_n march_v into_o the_o first_o the_o four_o into_o the_o three_o the_o six_o into_o the_o five_o and_o the_o eight_o into_o the_o seven_o and_o this_o motion_n must_v be_v do_v very_o orderly_o begin_v with_o the_o left_a foot_n and_o at_o three_o step_n make_v perfect_a the_o double_n then_o when_o they_o be_v to_o be_v reduce_v to_o their_o first_o form_n again_o to_o observe_v that_o if_o they_o double_v to_o the_o right_a hand_n than_o they_o must_v turn_v on_o the_o left_a hand_n to_o come_v to_o their_o first_o place_n again_o and_o so_o contrary_a to_o the_o other_o as_o occasion_n shall_v serve_v or_o this_o motion_n may_v be_v do_v to_o both_o hand_n by_o division_n or_o to_o both_o hand_n by_o conversion_n and_o to_o either_o open_a order_n order_n or_o close_a order_n according_a to_o these_o example_n rank_n undouble_v rank_n double_v thus_o you_o see_v rank_n double_v and_o undouble_v now_o there_o be_v another_o manner_n of_o double_v of_o rank_n and_o that_o be_v by_o the_o middleman_n or_o half_a file_n when_o they_o advance_v and_o lead_v up_o their_o half_a file_n bring_v the_o five_o rank_n on_o which_o hand_n they_o be_v command_v be_v middleman_n to_o the_o front_n into_o

in_o this_o example_n half_n file_n undouble_v half_n file_n double_v be_v now_o to_o reduce_v or_o bring_v these_o into_o their_o first_o place_n or_o form_n the_o half_a file_n which_o do_v ascend_v

and_o so_o every_o man_n be_v in_o his_o first_o place_n again_o the_o next_o motion_n unto_o these_o be_v wheel_v wheeling_n or_o turn_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o battalion_n to_o one_o or_o the_o other_o hand_n or_o entire_o round_a about_o or_o otherwise_o by_o division_n to_o wheel_v it_o to_o both_o hand_n at_o once_o either_o in_o part_n or_o else_o round_o about_o the_o general_a

about_o or_o else_o whole_o and_o full_o round_a about_o now_o to_o reduce_v it_o to_o the_o first_o posture_n or_o station_n you_o shall_v command_v every_o man_n to_o turn_v his_o face_n to_o the_o left_a hand_n then_o wheel_v the_o body_n back_o again_o till_o it_o come_v to_o its_o first_o place_n and_o then_o open_a the_o rank_n downward_o and_o the_o file_n either_o to_o one_o or_o the_o

for_o by_o this_o wheel_n you_o shall_v cover_v your_o shot_n safe_a and_o leave_v your_o pike_n outmost_a to_o receive_v the_o charge_n now_o this_o wheel_n be_v to_o be_v make_v after_o a_o other_o

the_o battalion_n half_o wheel_v the_o battalion_n wheel_v round_o about_o thus_o you_o have_v see_v the_o manner_n of_o wheeling_n with_o the_o several_a motion_n and_o use_v thereof_o the_o next_o
