the_o breadth_n of_o the_o foremost_a or_o main_a battle_n extend_v its_o wing_n wide_a than_o the_o enemy_n than_o it_o be_v easy_a either_o for_o the_o body_n of_o the_o main_a battle_n to_o

and_o the_o like_a of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o file_n inward_o towards_o the_o body_n of_o the_o battle_n which_o cause_v they_o to_o stand_v in_o apt_a form_n to_o charge_v the_o enemy_n flank_n so_o that_o reason_n show_v the_o charge_v a_o enemy_n in_o front_n and_o flank_n be_v odds_n two_o to_o one_o a_o second_o odds_n the_o grecian_n find_v out_o hyperkerasis_n by_o frame_v their_o

and_o this_o be_v thus_o perform_v in_o a_o double_a respect_n either_o because_o there_o be_v a_o want_n of_o man_n to_o extend_v the_o front_n of_o the_o battle_n in_o such_o breadth_n as_o that_o
