discredit_n to_o the_o leader_n of_o our_o time_n that_o all_o the_o force_n and_o power_n of_o a_o mighty_a army_n shall_v consist_v upon_o three_o or_o four_o of_o the_o first_o rank_n of_o the_o

must_v disorder_v they_o that_o follow_v wherefore_o for_o a_o introduction_n to_o a_o better_a method_n than_o have_v be_v hitherto_o practise_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o put_v those_o three_o body_n into_o which_o a_o army_n be_v divide_v namely_o the_o foreward_n battle_n and_o rearward_n into_o three_o squadron_n so_o place_v one_o to_o another_o side_n as_o they_o may_v meet_v

a_o easy_a matter_n to_o bring_v forward_o the_o second_o to_o fight_v with_o out_o disturbance_n to_o the_o first_o and_o the_o three_o without_o trouble_n to_o the_o other_o two_o thus_o come_v to_o

thrice_o in_o one_o encounter_n i_o do_v assure_v myself_o that_o from_o this_o begin_n man_n may_v proceed_v to_o a_o more_o perfect_a knowledge_n how_o the_o squadron_n themselves_o be_v also_o

entangle_v as_o experience_n dothteach_v it_o be_v no_o more_o possible_a to_o bring_v this_o than_o any_o other_o art_n at_o the_o first_o invention_n to_o perfection_n in_o a_o instant_n it_o be_v the_o labour_n of_o a_o bear_n to_o lick_v misshape_a fruit_n to_o fashion_n and_o of_o a_o lion_n to_o bring_v military_a rule_n to_o certainty_n the_o want_n which_o man_n may_v just_o find_v in_o direction_n of_o a_o army_n at_o this_o day_n proceed_v far_a yet_o for_o they_o put_v the_o best_a and_o most_o resolute_a soldier_n in_o the_o foremost_a rank_n who_o be_v force_v to_o give_v back_o they_o cause_v all_o the_o rest_n by_o their_o example_n to_o do_v the_o like_a as_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o imitate_v their_o action_n and_o thought_n in_o some_o sort_n they_o may_v be_v excuse_v in_o their_o imagination_n yet_o we_o see_v that_o from_o this_o error_n do_v common_o grow_v the_o ruin_n of_o all_o company_n the_o roman_n be_v far_a more_o discreet_a concern_v
