to_o be_v use_v but_o seldom_o except_o it_o be_v in_o necessity_n in_o such_o part_n as_o the_o ground_n will_v not_o permit_v otherwise_o therefore_o to_o avoid_v disorder_n soldier_n ought_v not_o

be_v use_v before_o a_o enemy_n for_o as_o it_o be_v most_o sudden_a so_o in_o my_o opinion_n it_o breed_v least_o disorder_n and_o disturbance_n the_o soldier_n once_o use_v to_o it_o of_o themselves_o they_o will_v willing_o do_v it_o on_o any_o occasion_n the_o body_n be_v before_o in_o open_a order_n or_o battle_n order_n say_v close_o the_o rank_n and_o file_n to_o your_o close_a order_n without_o encumber_v one_o of_o another_o every_o man_n follow_v right_a his_o own_o leader_n keep_v close_o to_o his_o side_n man_n then_o say_v to_o the_o right_a hand_n the_o quarter_n

order_n last_o the_o body_n of_o your_o musketeer_n exercise_v perfect_o after_o this_o manner_n for_o the_o better_a bring_v of_o they_o in_o exercise_n and_o breath_n that_o in_o case_n any_o disorder_n may_v happen_v among_o they_o they_o may_v the_o better_a afterward_o be_v acquaint_v one_o with_o another_o say_v to_o your_o open_a order_n of_o six_o foot_n distance_n open_v both_o

stick_v in_o his_o holbert_n in_o the_o ground_n then_o admonish_v your_o soldier_n that_o at_o the_o tuck_n of_o your_o drum_n they_o run_v from_o their_o arm_n about_o the_o holbert_n and_o to_o

they_o without_o give_v of_o fire_n when_o you_o have_v get_v your_o soldier_n thus_o experiment_v in_o their_o motion_n then_o be_v you_o to_o acquaint_v they_o with_o shot_n in_o give_v of_o fire_n to_o make_v they_o fix_v against_o their_o enemy_n which_o be_v easy_o do_v have_v once_o apart_o and_o singular_o use_v their_o musket_n after_o the_o order_n of_o the_o several_a posture_n belong_v thereto_o as_o be_v command_v their_o inferior_a officer_n and_o leader_n to_o teach_v they_o before_o they_o be_v exercise_v therefore_o before_o you_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a form_n of_o give_v fire_n you_o shall_v first_o give_v some_o general_a direction_n to_o be_v observe_v by_o all_o for_o avoid_v the_o hurt_v of_o themselves_o or_o of_o their_o comrade_n as_o also_o how_o they_o can_v best_o offend_v their_o enemy_n and_o to_o this_o effect_n you_o shall_v admonish_v in_o love_n all_o brave_a musketeer_n first_o to_o have_v their_o musket_n clear_a and_o handsome_a and_o above_o all_o fix_n in_o the_o work_n especial_o every_o soldier_n will_v be_v well_o know_v with_o his_o own_o musket_n and_o cock_n to_o cock_n aright_o then_o to_o hold_v the_o mouth_n or_o

with_o the_o enemy_n middle_a than_o your_o musketeer_n be_v in_o readiness_n your_o musket_n charge_v they_o may_v be_v command_v to_o give_v fire_n in_o skirmish_n disbandon_v as_o their_o officer_n

to_o the_o effect_n they_o may_v be_v fix_v omni_fw-la modo_fw-la though_o in_o my_o opinion_n one_o way_n be_v the_o best_a yet_o there_o be_v several_a way_n of_o give_v fire_n in_o advance_v to_o a_o enemy_n as_o retire_v from_o a_o enemy_n or_o in_o stand_v firm_a before_o a_o enemy_n either_o by_o rank_n or_o by_o file_n make_v to_o rank_n advance_v to_o a_o enemy_n not_o be_v disbandon_v but_o in_o one_o body_n they_o give_v fire_n by_o rank_n to_o rank_n have_v make_v ready_a alike_o they_o advance_v ten_o pace_n before_o the_o body_n be_v lead_v up_o by_o a_o officer_n that_o

foremost_a both_o give_v fire_n alike_o prime_a and_o cast_v about_o their_o musket_n they_o charge_v again_o where_o they_o stand_v till_o the_o other_o two_o rank_n advance_v before_o they_o and_o give_v fire_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n till_o the_o whole_a troop_n have_v discharge_v and_o so_o to_o begin_v again_o as_o before_o after_o the_o order_n of_o the_o through-countermarch_n ever_o advance_v to_o a_o enemy_n never_o turn_v back_o without_o death_n or_o victory_n and_o this_o be_v the_o form_n that_o i_o esteem_v to_o be_v the_o best_a as_o for_o the_o rest_n they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v much_o use_v but_o this_o order_n can_v be_v use_v win_v ground_n advancing_z or_o lose_v ground_n in_o a_o retreat_n when_o you_o will_v command_v the_o body_n of_o your_o musketeer_n to_o
