and_o so_o every_o man_n be_v in_o his_o first_o place_n again_o the_o next_o motion_n unto_o these_o be_v wheel_v wheeling_n or_o turn_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o battalion_n to_o one_o or_o the_o other_o hand_n or_o entire_o round_a about_o or_o otherwise_o by_o division_n to_o wheel_v it_o to_o both_o hand_n at_o once_o either_o in_o part_n or_o else_o round_o about_o the_o general_a manner_n of_o the_o motion_n be_v thus_o first_o close_a your_o file_n to_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o your_o rank_n to_o the_o sword_n point_n then_o make_v the_o corner_n file_n leader_n to_o the_o right_a hand_n stand_v fast_o and_o then_o all_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o battalion_n to_o move_v or_o wheel_n about_o he_o as_o about_o a_o centre_n either_o half_a about_o or_o three_o part_n about_o or_o else_o whole_o and_o full_o round_a about_o now_o to_o reduce_v it_o to_o the_o first_o posture_n or_o station_n you_o shall_v command_v every_o man_n to_o turn_v his_o face_n to_o the_o left_a hand_n then_o wheel_v the_o body_n back_o again_o till_o it_o come_v to_o its_o first_o place_n and_o then_o open_a the_o rank_n downward_o and_o the_o file_n either_o to_o one_o or_o the_o other_o hand_n at_o pleasure_n as_o thus_o you_o wheel_v the_o whole_a body_n to_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o hand_n or_o entire_o round_a about_o so_o you_o may_v wheel_v it_o to_o both_o hand_n at_o once_o by_o division_n either_o in_o part_n or_o round_o about_o according_a to_o pleasure_n and_o this_o be_v of_o singular_a use_n when_o the_o horse_n shall_v come_v to_o charge_v the_o foot_n for_o by_o this_o wheel_n you_o shall_v cover_v your_o shot_n safe_a and_o leave_v your_o pike_n outmost_a to_o receive_v the_o charge_n now_o this_o wheel_n be_v to_o be_v make_v after_o a_o other_o manner_n for_o where_o before_o either_o the_o corner_n man_n of_o the_o right_a hand_n file_n or_o the_o corner_n man_n of_o the_o left_a hand_n file_n be_v to_o stand_v fast_o and_o firm_a now_o all_o shall_v move_v and_o only_o the_o middle_a man_n in_o the_o rear_n to_o the_o right_a flank_n and_o the_o middle_a man_n in_o the_o rear_n to_o the_o left_a flank_n shall_v stand_v fast_o and_o unmoved_a and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o two_o divide_v body_n shall_v move_v about_o they_o according_a to_o these_o example_n follow_v the_o battalion_n vnwheeled_a the_o battalion_n wheel_v the_o battalion_n half_o wheel_v the_o battalion_n wheel_v round_o about_o thus_o you_o have_v see_v the_o manner_n of_o wheeling_n with_o the_o several_a motion_n and_o use_v thereof_o the_o next_o motion_n whereto_o foot_n company_n ought_v to_o be_v apply_v be_v the_o cast_v off_o of_o file_n file_n or_o as_o some_o call_v it_o the_o give_v of_o fire_n by_o flank_n or_o in_o the_o flank_n and_o this_o motion_n of_o cast_v of_o file_n be_v do_v diverse_a way_n as_o first_o in_o flank_n then_o in_o wing_n and_o last_o before_o the_o front_n if_o you_o cast_v off_o file_n in_o flank_n to_o the_o right_a hand_n than_o the_o right_a hand_n file_v be_v ready_a to_o give_v fire_n stand_v still_o till_o the_o body_n of_o the_o battalion_n be_v march_v so_o far_o forward_o that_o the_o rear_n or_o bringer_n up_o become_v even_o with_o the_o leader_n of_o the_o right_a hand_n file_n then_o that_o file_n so_o stand_v and_o prepare_v give_v fire_n altogether_o then_o present_o march_v up_o between_o the_o outmost_a file_n of_o pike_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o the_o inmost_a file_n of_o shot_n then_o the_o second_o file_n of_o shot_n as_o the_o first_o do_v stand_v still_o till_o the_o body_n be_v march_v by_o and_o then_o give_v their_o volley_n and_o then_o march_v up_o as_o they_o first_o do_v between_o the_o outmost_a file_n of_o pike_n and_o the_o inmost_a file_n of_o shot_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o thus_o successive_o every_o file_n of_o shot_n give_v their_o volley_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o that_o right_a wing_n which_o do_v wheel_n the_o whole_a body_n about_o and_o bring_v the_o left_a wing_n to_o do_v as_o much_o as_o the_o right_a wing_n and_o so_o wing_n after_o wing_n according_a to_o pleasure_n and_o this_o manner_n of_o cast_v of_o file_n in_o flank_n be_v of_o excellent_a use_n for_o the_o beat_n of_o pace_n in_o wood_n or_o bog_n also_o for_o the_o mayntain_n of_o straight_a and_o narrow_a way_n for_o defence_n of_o bridge_n and_o the_o like_a and_o that_o you_o may_v have_v a_o better_a understanding_n therein_o behold_v the_o figure_n follow_v file_n cast_v off_o in_o flank_n to_o the_o right_a
their_o first_o form_n or_o body_n again_o the_o word_n as_o you_o be_v be_v give_v every_o move_a file_n that_o do_v advance_v shall_v turn_v face_n about_o and_o so_o march_v back_o to_o their_o first_o place_n and_o as_o thus_o you_o advance_v either_o to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n at_o one_o instant_a so_o you_o may_v also_o at_o one_o instant_a advance_v both_o to_o the_o right_n and_o left_a hand_n by_o division_n make_v the_o second_o file_n advance_v before_o the_o first_o the_o four_o before_o the_o three_o the_o seven_o before_o the_o eight_o the_o fyfth_o before_o the_o six_o and_o as_o thus_o in_o advance_v so_o also_o in_o double_v of_o file_n as_o you_o double_a to_o the_o right_n or_o left_a hand_n so_o you_o may_v double_v to_o both_o the_o right_n and_o left_a hand_n at_o one_o instant_a by_o division_n the_o second_o file_n pass_v behind_o the_o first_o the_o four_o behind_o the_o three_o than_o the_o seven_o behind_o the_o eight_o and_o the_o five_o behind_o the_o six_o now_o here_o by_o the_o way_n there_o may_v a_o scruple_n arise_v that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o number_n may_v vary_v and_o that_o all_o body_n hold_v not_o one_o even_o or_o just_a content_n or_o number_n that_o then_o in_o case_n there_o be_v a_o odd_a file_n how_o then_o shall_v the_o body_n be_v double_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o you_o happen_v to_o have_v a_o odd_a file_n then_o look_v to_o what_o hand_n you_o double_a unto_o than_o the_o outmost_a file_n to_o the_o contrary_a hand_n shall_v stand_v and_o keep_v his_o place_n firm_a without_o double_v at_o all_o as_o if_o you_o double_a to_o the_o right_a hand_n than_o the_o left_a hand_n file_n stand_v fast_o and_o undouble_v or_o if_o you_o double_a to_o the_o left_a hand_n than_o the_o right_a hand_n file_n stand_v fast_o and_o undouble_v as_o by_o these_o example_n plain_o appear_v the_o odd_a battalion_n vudouble_v the_o odd_a battalion_n double_v thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o odd_a file_n stand_v and_o be_v still_o preserve_v in_o every_o motion_n be_v still_o keep_v in_o its_o order_n both_o by_o the_o leader_n and_o the_o side-man_n and_o when_o so_o ever_o the_o body_n be_v reduce_v into_o its_o first_o form_n or_o station_n then_o be_v it_o full_a and_o perfect_a as_o any_o other_o file_n what_o so_o ever_o the_o next_o necessary_a motion_n unto_o the_o doubling_n and_o advance_v of_o file_n countermarch_v be_v the_o countermarch_v of_o file_n which_o be_v also_o another_o motion_n in_o form_n and_o of_o countermarch_v there_o be_v diverse_a kind_n as_o first_o the_o ordinary_a countermarch_v which_o be_v daily_o use_v among_o we_o when_o so_o ever_o we_o march_v or_o turn_v the_o body_n of_o the_o battalta_n too_o or_o fro_o and_o this_o countermarch_v be_v call_v of_o some_o the_o persian_a countermarch_v because_o it_o be_v first_o in_o use_n among_o they_o other_o call_v it_o the_o cretan_a as_o take_v from_o the_o imitation_n of_o those_o soldier_n &_o other_o call_v it_o the_o choraean_a from_o chorus_n which_o signify_v a_o company_n of_o which_o company_n there_o be_v certain_a dancer_n who_o in_o a_o warlike_a dance_n be_v the_o first_o

they_o shall_v countermarch_v begin_v the_o motion_n as_o thus_o if_o the_o word_n be_v give_v to_o countermarch_v to_o the_o right_a hand_n then_o shall_v the_o leader_n of_o the_o file_n at_o one_o instant_a step_n one_o step_v forward_o with_o the_o right_a foot_n then_o bring_v the_o left_a foot_n and_o the_o body_n round_o about_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o so_o march_v down_o through_o the_o distance_n between_o the_o file_n till_o they_o come_v to_o the_o rear_n where_o the_o bringer-up_a stand_v and_o there_o they_o shall_v make_v a_o stand_v and_o in_o this_o motion_n every_o

overthrow_n &_o disgrace_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o as_o these_o leader_n begin_v and_o conduct_v in_o this_o orderly_a manner_n so_o shall_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o every_o file_n observe_v true_a place_n and_o distance_n follow_v with_o as_o great_a care_n and_o severity_n every_o man_n observe_v his_o leader_n and_o his_o right_a hand_n man_n and_o that_o by_o no_o mean_n they_o

the_o commander_n please_v now_o in_o this_o countermarch_v it_o will_v be_v observe_v that_o the_o file_n shall_v ever_o be_v well_o open_v as_o at_o the_o open_a order_n of_o six_o foot_n at_o the_o

suffer_v none_o to_o loose_a duty_n countermarch_n the_o next_o countermarch_v be_v that_o which_o be_v call_v the_o lacedaemonian_n countermarch_v as_o be_v first_o receive_v from_o their_o example_n and_o it_o be_v of_o singular_a use_n in_o charge_v of_o the_o enemy_n in_o make_v of_o approach_n and_o in_o gain_v of_o ground_n of_o advantage_n and_o though_o at_o first_o the_o ancient_n find_v
