for_o as_o uniformity_n of_o motion_n in_o every_o particular_a soldier_n preserve_v the_o whole_a body_n and_o every_o joint_n or_o part_n thereof_o entire_a so_o the_o dissimilitude_n of_o motion_n

have_v the_o commander_n to_o pronounce_v thus_o to_o the_o pike_n face_n that_o be_v to_o the_o right_a hand_n hold_v the_o word_n right_a hand_n to_o be_v more_o special_a or_o straight_a in_o

comprehend_v under_o they_o most_o particular_n now_o consider_v there_o be_v four_o motion_n of_o the_o battle_n which_o can_v be_v put_v in_o use_n but_o by_o word_n of_o direction_n and_o in_o the_o direction_n the_o word_n right_a or_o left_a hand_n be_v of_o necessity_n to_o be_v apply_v to_o every_o of_o they_o as_o for_o example_n countermarch_v to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n face_n to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o word_n right_a hand_n or_o leave_v hand_n be_v more_o general_a than_o any_o one_o of_o the_o motion_n because_o it_o stretch_v to_o they_o all_o so_o that_o albeit_o we_o retain_v the_o rule_n of_o aelian_n namely_o to_o set_v the_o special_a before_o the_o general_a yet_o may_v we_o very_o safe_o from_o his_o example_n and_o not_o only_o in_o face_v but_o also_o in_o the_o three_o other_o motion_n pronounce_v the_o direction_n thus_o face_n to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n double_v to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n countermarch_v to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n wheel_v to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n because_o the_o word_n right_a or_o left_a hand_n be_v more_o general_a than_o any_o one_o of_o the_o motion_n but_o admit_v it_o be_v more_o particular_a yet_o the_o necessity_n of_o our_o language_n will_v force_v we_o to_o forsake_v this_o rule_n of_o aelian_n for_o in_o every_o language_n there_o be_v a_o idiom_n or_o propriety_n of_o speech_n and_o that_o not_o only_o in_o the_o phrase_n itself_o but_o also_o in_o the_o very_a join_n &_o tie_v together_o of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o sentence_n so_o that_o that_o which_o sort_v well_o with_o one_o language_n will_v not_o be_v receive_v in_o another_o in_o greek_a in_o which_o tongue_n aelian_n write_v it_o sound_v well_o to_o place_v the_o noun_n govern_v by_o a_o verb_n before_o the_o verb_n itself_o so_o in_o latin_a dutch_a french_a and_o other_o tongue_n in_o english_a if_o a_o man_n shall_v do_v the_o like_a unless_o it_o be_v in_o verse_n wherein_o the_o number_n of_o the_o foot_n be_v more_o respect_v than_o the_o order_n of_o the_o word_n he_o shall_v be_v account_v ridiculous_a or_o vain_a for_o take_v the_o example_n here_o set_v down_o to_o the_o right_a han●_n face_n to_o the_o right_a hand_n double_a or_o countermach_n or_o wheel_n and_o let_v we_o use_v the_o same_o order_n of_o word_n in_o common_a speech_n and_o a_o man_n say_v to_o his_o servant_n to_o the_o church_n go_v to_o the_o mill_n corn_n carry_v boot_v clean_o make_v to_o the_o cutler_n my_o rapier_n carry_v who_o will_v not_o laugh_v at_o his_o speech_n or_o think_v he_o idle_a in_o so_o pronounce_v wherefore_o albeit_o aelian_n hold_v that_o form_n agreeable_a to_o the_o greek_a tongue_n yet_o i_o can_v see_v how_o it_o will_v be_v fit_a that_o our_o english_a according_a to_o which_o i_o hold_v it_o better_a to_o pronounce_v after_o this_o manner_n face_n to_o right_a hand_n
