To your Leader all NOw it is convenient for to march the Body in a Long March But before you march I will shew you the several Parts of the Body which were Commanded before in the Exercise by these Figures following A File is reckoned from the Front to the Rear containing 4 or 6 or 8 Men as there is occasion and that is called Depth-ways A Rank is rekoned from the right to the left containing 4 6 8 10 or 20 Men or more and that is called Breadth-ways The Rear half Files The Front half Files The right half Ranks The left half Ranks The Rear half files of right half ranks The Rear half files of left half ranks The Front half files of right half ranks The Front half files of left half ranks These are the proper and necessary Parts of the Body So now we will proceed to perform the long March with the places of the Officers according to their Dignity and their Words of Command unto the Division that each of them doth lead Also before you march form the Body in this form as followeth Bringers up double the Front inwards Files open from the midst to Order Ranks open from the midst to open Order Stand. To your Leader all The Captain This Division of Musqueteers on the right poise your Musquets and march shoulder as you march The Ensigne These two Files of Pikes or this Division of Pikes on the right advance your Pikes and march shoulder as you march The eldest Serjeant This Division of Pikes advance your Pikes and march shoulder as you march The youngest Serjeant This Division poise your Musquets and march shoulder as you
march The Lieutenant standing on the left of the Body and seeing the Divisions drawn forth and marching he places himself in the Rear of all The Long march The Captain may if he pleases before he marches command the Pikes to advance their Pikes and the Musqueteers to poise their Musquets and shoulder all and each Officer say to his Division This Division march Having marched sufficiently draw them up into a Body again When the Captain findes it convenient to have the Company drawn up he makes a stand and commands the Drummer to beat a Troop and at the same time the Captain advances his Leading-staff or half Pike as a signe to the Officers for to draw up their Divisions The successive Officer is to draw up his Division on the left of the precedent Division either by marching or trooping The Company being drawn up let us make some Firings and after them lodge the Colours and retire unto our Quarters Fire by Forlorns File-ways The inmost File of Musqueteers on each Flank move To each of these Files there is a Serjeant to lead them forth and to fire them Fire by Forlorn rank-ways Musqueteers make all ready The inmost File of Musqueteers on each Flank move Rank inwards Musqueteers make all ready The inmost File of Musqueteers on each Flank move clear of the Pikes and stand close inwards Each Division of Musqueteers move 6 8 or 10 paces Stand. Musqueteers make all ready The Division in the Front stand the rest move forwards 6 8 or 10 paces Stand. Musqueteers make all ready The Divisions in the Front stand The rest move forwards and even the Front Stand. Every even File from both Flanks double the depth of the odde The last Ranks face about The first and last Rank wheel inwards To your Leader all Musqueteers in the Front fire and wheel off to the left And each Division wheel off to the left at the same time and possess each others ground When they have all fired Command To your Leader all Musqueteers make all ready The Division in the Front stand The Division in the Rear face about The Division on the right face to the right The Division on the left face to the left and port your Pikes To your Leader all The Division on each Flank face to the Center The Musqueteers in Front and Rear face outwards As you are now faced march and close To your Leader all Firings against Horse Musqueteers make all ready port your Pikes The File leaders of Musqueteers move and place your selves before the Pikes The rest move up and maintain their ground Musqueteers make all ready port your Pikes file-File-leaders of Musqueteers move and place your selves before the Pikes The rest move up and maintain their ground Musqueteers make all ready port your Pikes Front half Files of Musqueteers move and place your selves before the Pikes The rest move up and maintain their ground Musqueteers in the Front rank inwards Musqueteers make all ready and port your Pikes The first Rank of Musqueteers face to the right and wheel off to the left and place themselves on the Front of the Pikes Musqueteers make all ready port your Pikes The first Rank of Musqueteers move as before and place themselves in the front of the Pikes Fire and stand The next first Rank move and place themselves in the Front Fire and fall in the Rear of them that fired before and so every Rank move and place themselves in the Front fire and fall in the Rear of the Musqueteers in the Front Musqueteers make all ready Ranks double inwards Port your Pikes Then the Body will be in this form following To reduce the Body Ranks open forwards to double distance The Musqueteers on the right face to the left Musqueteers on the left face to the right Pass through the Body and change ground The Musqueteers on the right advancing The Musqueteers on the left retiring To your Leader all Ranks close forwards to open Order Stand. If the Captain pleases he may march them again as he sees convenient Then draw the Company up into a Body and close Ranks and Files to the midst to close Order And if he has any thing to communicate unto his Souldiers to do it there at the Head of the Company To lodge the Colours Advance your Pikes and move In the mean time the Serjeant forms the Musqueteers either in a Body or in a Rank to make a Volley at the lodging of the Colours Then all are discharged to retire to their Quarters FINIS The Bringers up of the right half of the Body incline to the Left and the Bringers up of the left half of the Body incline to the Right and pass through the Interval up into the Front and the lest of the half Files gratually after the other while they have evened the Front and the Body That is those that are faced the first man marches into his place and so the rest successively That is to 3 foot distance between File and and File That is 6 foot distance from File and File That is to 12 foot distance between File and File So you may command both Ranks and Files to Open to Double double Distances the which is 24 foot That is a Foot and a half between File and File and Rank and Rank Note in all Facings eito the right or to the left to command the Pike-men to advance their Pikes and the Musqueteers to poise their Musquets and turn their Bodies with their Arms on their left Heel onely So many paces as you please So many paces as you please The Angles are the four Corners of the Body That is all the Divisions move at once and leaving their own ground each Division marches into his predecessors ground As before As before As before That is each Division marches through its opposite Division in the Interval that is between File and File As before As before As before That is to the middle of the Body So many paces as you see convenient So many paces as you see convenient So many paces as you see convenient So many paces as you see convenient That is every even File from the right to place it self into the odd to the right That is every even Rank from the front places it self into the odde to the right As before the Files and Ranks placed to the right these place themselves to the left And place your selves as before The Rear half Files incline to the right and march in that Interval that is on the right of them into the Front Every even File from the left faces about or the half Files that doubled to face about and march into their places As before you inclined to the right now you must incline to the left Every even File from the right faces about and march and place themselves as before The Rear half Files of the right half Ranks or of the right of the Body
inclines to the right and marches into the Front And the Rear half Files of the left half Ranks or of the left of the Body inclines to the left and marches into the Front Every even File from the middle faces about and march into their places As before they inclin'd to the right and left outwards now they must incline to the right and left inwards Every even File from both Flanks face about and march into your places The Bringers up of every File first incline to the right into the Interval on the right of him and the immediate man after him and so the rest and march into the front That is the first man in their march places himself into his place and so the rest after one another Now the Bringers up incline to the left and march into the Front as before The first man march and the rest after him and place themselves as before Bringers up and the rest march and incline as before March and place your selves as before The first Rank opens and makes an Interval for the second Rank to march in then the first Rank opens again and leaves an Interval for the next Rank to march in and so the rest These 4 inmost Files are but 4 single men but they represent Files therefore they are called Files At their present standing they are proper Files but when they are faced to the right then they are Ranks accidental As before in the Front As before you performed it in the Front so now in the same manner perform in the Rear As before in the Front so now in the Rear As before to the right Flank As before you performed it to the right now in the same manner to the left When the Front half files have faced outwards and march'd and left an Interval then the Rear half files march into that Interval up to the Front The 4 inmost Files march forwards while they are clear of the Rear half files then the Rear half files face inwards and close The Front half files face to the right and march while they are clear of the Rear half files then face to the right again and march to the Rear When the left half ranks have faced outwards and march then the right half ranks march into the Interval up to the left through the Interval while they are clear of the left half ranks then the left half ranks face inwards and close The left half ranks face about and march while they are clear of the right half ranks then face to the left and place themselves in the Rear of the right half Ranks As before you doubled your Front half files with your Rear half files in the same manner double your Rear half files with your Front half files Before the four inmost files doubl'd the two outmost files on each Flank advancing that is to the Front now you double your two outmost files retiring that is to the Rear Rear half files face to the left and march while you are clear of the Front half files then face them to the right and march up to the Front Perform this in the same manner as you did when right half ranks doubled the left half ranks entire on the left The right half ranks march forwards while they are clear of the left half ranks then face them to the left and march to the left while they are even with the left Flank The Rear half files face outwards and march while they are clear of the Front half files then face them to the Front and march up to the Front The four inmost files face about and march while they are clear of the rest then face them outwards and march and even both Flanks The Front half files face outwards and march while they are clear of the rest then face them to the Rear and march down to the Rear The four inmost files much while they are clear of the red then face them outwards and march and even both Flanks The two inmost ranks face outwards and march while they are clear of the rest then face them outwards again and march and even Front and Rear The Rear half files of the two outmost files face about and the Front half files of the two outmost files and Rear half files of the two outmost files march while they are clear of the rest then the fear inmost files face outwards and march and even both Flanks The first and last ranks face outwards and march while they are clear of the rest then face them in and march and close The Rear half files of the four inmost files face about Both Front half files and Rear half files of the four inmost files march while they are clear of the rest then face them outwards and march and even both Flanks Each file-File-leader turns off to his right hand into the Interval on the right of them and the second rank moves up into the ground of the first and turns off and so the rest and keeps moving while the file-File-leaders are marched down into the Rear Face them all to the right and turn off to the right and keep moving while the present File-leaders have marched up to the left Flank As before you performed it to the right so now in the same manner to the left As before to the right so now to the left As before when you did countermarch maintaining ground the first turn'd off and the second Rank possess'd the ground of the first and so the rest now the first rank turn and march down and the rest stand and do not turn and move while their present Leaders are past them As before As before to the left so now to the right As before The Rear half files face about the Front half files turn off to the right and the Rear half files turn off to the left and both keep marching while the File-leaders and bringers up move in the midst of the Body The Body faces outwards the right half ranks turn off to the right and the left half ranks turn off to the left and keep moving while the right hand men and left hand men meet in the midst of the Body Front half files face about Front half files turn off to the right and Rear half files turn off to the left The Body faces inward the right half ranks turn off to the right and the left half ranks turn off to the left The Body faces outwards and both Flanks turn off to the right and pass through each other while the right Flank possesses the ground of the left Flank and the left Flank the ground of the right Flank Rear half files face about and both turn off to the right and possess each others ground As before you performed to the right so now to the left observing that you face the Body outwards As before to the right now to the left observing that you face the Rear half files about That is the first rank stands the
next rank moves forwards and place themselves before the first and so the rest while every rank hath performed it As before to the right now to the left As before As before That is wheel the right half ranks to the left and the left half ranks to the right while the right and left half ranks face each other Face the Body all about and wheel the right and left half ranks as before Face all to the right and wheel as before Face all to the left and wheel as before Rear half files face about and wheel Front and Rear half files as before Face the Body outwards and wheel both Flanks as before That is wheel the right half ranks to the left and the left half ranks to the right while they are even a breast and march down into the Rear Face all to the right and wheel them as before into the left Flank Face all about and wheel them as before inwards up into the Front Face all to the left and wheel them as before into the right Flank Wheel off the right half ranks to the right and the left half ranks to the left down to the Rear Face all to the right and wheel them to the right and left outwards up to the left Flank Face all about and wheel them off to the right and left outwards up into the Front Face all to the left and wheel them to the right and left outwards up into the right Flank Rear half files face about wheel off to the right and left outward up to the Front on the outside of each Flank The 2 outmost Files on each Flank stand the 4 inmost move forwards the right half wheel to the right and the left half wheel to the left while the file-leaders of the 4 inmost files face the 2 outmost files on each Flank Rear half files stand the Front half files wheel off outwards down into the Roar The two outmost files on each Flank stand the four inmost files face about and wheel off to the right and left outwards and place themselves in the Rear of the two outmost files on each Flank That is to place them in the Rear of the left half ranks That is to wheel them off to the right down to the Rear on the right of the Rear half files That is to place them in the Front of the right half ranks Rear half files face about and wheel them off to the right up to the Front on the left of the Front half files That is wheel them altogether to the right while the Front is where the right Flank was And to wheel the Battle to the right again is to wheel the Front where the Rear was Wheeling the Battle to the right about is to its proper Front as it was at first And the wheeling the Battle to the left or to the left about is in the same manner C for Captain L for Lieutenant E for Ensigne S for Serjeant D for Drum p for Pike m for Musquet First command Musqueteers make ready all that is prime charge cock and guard While the Serjeants are leading their files to fire them the Captain closes the Body When the first rank has fired they wheel off to the right and left and place themselves in the Rear of their own files and when they are all fired each Serjeant wheel off his file and place them on the outside of their own Flanks then draw forth the inmost files again and fire them and wheel them and place them as before and so the rest until all the Musqueteers have fired Every even file from both Flanks face about and place themselves behinde their present Leaders Pikes in the Front port Before you fire command the Musqueteers on the left to face about The Musqueteers in the Rear face to the right Reduced Fire the Musqueteers in the Front when they have fired wheel them off outwards and fall in the Rear of their own files Now fire the Musqueteers in the Front and the File-leaders on each flank When they have fired wheel them off outwards and fall in the rear of their own files Reduced
