randezvous_n for_o the_o musketeer_n to_o repair_v unto_o when_o they_o shall_v retreat_v from_o fight_n far_o it_o have_v be_v the_o ambition_n of_o many_o gentleman_n both_o in_o holland_n france_n and_o in_o these_o our_o late_a unhappy_a war_n in_o england_n to_o trail_v pike_n with_o several_a commander_n who_o they_o shall_v think_v fit_a and_o last_o to_o conclude_v all_o that_o the_o

there_o be_v any_o knowledge_n of_o the_o musket_n as_o in_o many_o history_n you_o shall_v find_v and_o so_o for_o present_v i_o will_v conclude_v this_o discourse_n of_o the_o pike_n desire_v the_o

for_o that_o can_v be_v i_o shall_v rather_o advise_v all_o captain_n that_o have_v occasion_n to_o raise_v their_o company_n to_o have_v two_o three_o of_o musketeer_n and_o but_o one_o of_o pike_n
