sort_n as_o follow_v first_o to_o wit_n that_o all_o the_o soldier_n of_o a_o band_n of_o footman_n be_v bind_v by_o the_o law_n of_o arm_n forthwith_o and_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o shall_v hear_v

many_o in_o a_o rank_n as_o you_o listen_v part_v they_o nevertheless_o according_a to_o their_o number_n you_o may_v put_v they_o from_o 3_o to_o 12_o in_o a_o rank_n for_o it_o be_v not_o often_o see_v that_o more_o than_o 11_o be_v put_v in_o a_o rank_n how_o great_a soever_o the_o number_n of_o the_o footman_n be_v neither_o in_o troth_n ought_v they_o to_o be_v any_o more_o than_o 11_o in_o a_o rank_n for_o when_o they_o pass_v 11_o or_o 12_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v account_v a_o array_n but_o rather_o a_o battle_n i_o have_v omit_v to_o write_v herein_o of_o the_o place_n of_o my_o officer_n belong_v to_o a_o company_n of_o footman_n you_o shall_v find_v it_o plain_o set_v down_o in_o the_o march_n and_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o exercise_n of_o train_v so_o to_o return_v have_v then_o place_v the_o number_n of_o musketeer_n you_o shall_v think_v good_a of_o to_o be_v in_o a_o rank_n you_o shall_v cause_v they_o to_o march_v in_o good_a proportion_n send_v forth_o one_o rank_n after_o a_o other_o the_o sergeant_n stand_v still_o on_o the_o one_o side_n cause_v they_o to_o pass_v before_o he_o judge_v by_o the_o eyesight_n from_o rank_n to_o rank_n of_o all_o the_o soldier_n one_o by_o one_o whether_o they_o be_v right_a in_o line_n observe_v true_a distance_n and_o also_o that_o they_o carry_v their_o arm_n in_o warlike_a order_n for_o this_o be_v the_o beauty_n of_o a_o array_n moreover_o the_o sergeant_n have_v special_a respect_n to_o accommodate_v and_o place_n at_o the_o head_n of_o the_o array_n the_o gentleman_n of_o the_o company_n and_o also_o the_o corporal_n which_o carry_v musket_n place_v next_o unto_o they_o the_o best_a man_n and_o the_o best_a furnish_v soldier_n and_o place_v also_o at_o the_o rear_n of_o the_o battle_n your_o best_a man_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o your_o best_a arm_a to_o the_o intent_n the_o array_n may_v show_v the_o better_a forasmuch_o as_o when_o they_o be_v divide_v into_o array_n the_o musketeer_n from_o the_o pikeman_n and_o that_o they_o turn_v their_o face_n then_o the_o back_n part_n or_o rear_n be_v make_v the_o front_n therefore_o the_o rear_n ought_v to_o be_v as_o well_o furnish_v as_o the_o front_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o in_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o sergeant_n the_o which_o if_o you_o desire_v to_o do_v it_o be_v necessary_a you_o put_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o rank_n the_o weak_a and_o worst_a furnish_v advertise_v the_o sergeant_n that_o the_o soldier_n be_v best_a furnish_v when_o they_o have_v all_o sort_n of_o arm_n and_o furniture_n that_o be_v

all_o speed_n and_o diligence_n that_o the_o time_n or_o occasion_n do_v carry_v and_o the_o suspicion_n of_o the_o enemy_n do_v import_v here_o next_o be_v demonstrate_v the_o distance_n observe_v betwixt_o rank_n and_o ranke_n man_n and_o man_n both_o in_o march_v and_o also_o in_o main_a battle_n first_o both_o pike_n and_o musket_n be_v to_o be_v order_v into_o file_n of_o 10_o deep_a the_o musketeer_n in_o march_v be_v sometime_o place_v in_o the_o front_n sometime_o in_o the_o front_n and_o sometime_o in_o the_o rear_n of_o the_o pike_n but_o most_o common_o be_v in_o single_a array_n they_o be_v to_o march_v both_o in_o the_o front_n and_o rear_n in_o main_a battle_n the_o soldier_n be_v place_v sometime_o in_o the_o right_a flank_n sometime_o in_o both_o the_o flank_n and_o sometime_o it_o will_v be_v command_v that_o they_o be_v bring_v in_o the_o front_n of_o the_o battle_n and_o also_o in_o the_o rear_n in_o exercise_v the_o motion_n there_o be_v two_o distance_n to_o
