exact_o obedient_a to_o it_o to_o keep_v silence_n and_o when_o the_o party_n be_v numerous_a enough_o to_o compose_v battalion_n and_o squadron_n to_o observe_v in_o go_v to_o the_o charge_v the_o just_a wideness_n of_o the_o interval_n for_o the_o reserve_v or_o second_o line_n to_o relieve_v the_o first_o line_n but_o if_o there_o must_v be_v any_o error_n therein_o to_o be_v sure_o the_o

since_o the_o latter_a will_v render_v they_o almost_o useless_a but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o treat_v of_o that_o part_n of_o discipline_v the_o soldiery_n which_o consist_v in_o draw_v they_o up_o into_o battalion_n and_o squadron_n which_o i_o intend_v to_o discourse_v of_o when_o i_o come_v to_o treat_v of_o battle_n i_o shall_v crave_v leave_n to_o offer_v some_o consideration_n on_o what_o we_o general_o observe_v and_o seldom_o or_o never_o alter_v whatever_o the_o occasion_n require_v and_o that_o be_v the_o drawing_z up_o our_o shot_n and_o pike_n six_o deep_a and_o our_o horse_n three_o deep_a and_o this_o i_o shall_v not_o presume_v to_o do_v have_v not_o i_o be_v embolden_v to_o it_o by_o some_o experiment_n of_o my_o own_o which_o god_n do_v bless_v with_o success_n for_o when_o i_o find_v myself_o overwinged_n by_o the_o enemy_n they_o draw_v up_o their_o foot_n six_o deep_a and_o their_o horse_n three_o deep_a i_o judge_v it_o best_o for_o i_o to_o fight_v my_o foot_n four_o deep_a and_o my_o horse_n two_o deep_a whereby_o i_o add_v one_o three_o of_o more_o hand_n to_o the_o front_n and_o breadth_n of_o my_o battalion_n and_o squadron_n for_o i_o be_v full_o satisfy_v that_o it_o be_v likely_a i_o shall_v be_v worsted_n by_o the_o enemy_n if_o he_o fall_v into_o my_o flank_n and_o rear_n hold_v i_o also_o to_o equal_a play_n in_o the_o front_n than_o if_o four_o rank_n of_o my_o foot_n shall_v be_v break_v or_o two_o rank_n of_o my_o horse_n that_o the_o three_o rank_n of_o the_o horse_n and_o the_o five_o and_o six_o rank_n of_o my_o foot_n shall_v recover_v all_o again_o for_o i_o have_v often_o see_v battalion_n and_o squadron_n defeat_v by_o be_v overwinged_a but_o i_o never_o see_v the_o last_o rank_n of_o the_o horse_n and_o the_o two_o last_o rank_n of_o the_o foot_n restore_v the_o field_n when_o the_o four_o first_o rank_n of_o the_o foot_n and_o the_o two_o first_o rank_n of_o the_o horse_n be_v rout_v for_o common_o if_o the_o two_o first_o rank_n of_o the_o horse_n be_v rout_v they_o themselves_o for_o they_o still_o be_v break_v inward_a rout_n the_o three_o rank_n and_o though_o the_o like_a can_v true_o be_v say_v of_o the_o foot_n in_o all_o point_n yet_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n it_o usual_o follow_v but_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o he_o who_o make_v such_o a_o alteration_n in_o military_a discipline_n unless_o he_o be_v a_o sovereign_a prince_n or_o have_v sufficient_a order_n to_o do_v it_o ought_v to_o resolve_n his_o success_n only_o must_v apologise_v for_o it_o that_o be_v to_o be_v victorious_a or_o be_v kill_v i_o shall_v therefore_o humble_o desire_v that_o fight_v no_o deep_o than_o four_o for_o the_o foot_n and_o two_o for_o the_o horse_n where_o the_o ground_n be_v fit_a may_v well_o be_v consider_v and_o then_o let_v true_a reason_n give_v the_o rule_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o will_v ingenious_o acknowledge_v that_o after_o have_v as_o thorough_o weigh_v all_o the_o argument_n for_o and_o against_o it_o as_o my_o weak_a judgement_n can_v suggest_v to_o i_o i_o will_v without_o hesitation_n if_o it_o be_v leave_v to_o my_o own_o election_n fight_v my_o foot_n and_o horse_n no_o deep_o than_o four_o and_o two_o in_o any_o case_n where_o the_o ground_n will_v admit_v i_o to_o extend_v my_o battalion_n and_o squadron_n to_o the_o full_a for_o if_o i_o fight_v against_o equal_a number_n and_o equal_o good_a soldier_n to_o my_o own_o it_o be_v more_o likely_a fall_n into_o their_o flank_n and_o as_o much_o into_o their_o rear_n also_o as_o i_o overw_v they_o the_o depth_n of_o a_o file_n in_o each_o flank_n that_o i_o shall_v rout_n they_o than_o it_o be_v that_o before_o i_o perform_v that_o they_o shall_v have_v pierce_v through_o my_o four_o rank_n since_o rank_a to_o rank_a of_o equal_o good_a soldier_n and_o equal_a in_o number_n will_v more_o probable_o hold_v long_o play_v one_o with_o the_o other_o than_o soldier_n equal_o good_a can_v defend_v themselves_o at_o once_o if_o brisk_o charge_v in_o front_n flank_n and_o rear_n and_o since_o the_o flank_n and_o rear_n of_o foot_n themselves_o fight_v with_o great_a disadvantage_n against_o those_o who_o charge_v they_o there_o all_o at_o once_o but_o when_o horse_n be_v charge_v in_o the_o flank_n and_o in_o the_o rear_n it_o be_v next_o of_o kin_n to_o a_o miracle_n if_o they_o escape_v be_v break_v for_o the_o trooper_n in_o the_o rank_n when_o they_o go_v to_o charge_n be_v as_o close_o as_o the_o rider_n knee_n can_v endure_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o flank_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n or_o the_o last_o rank_n to_o face_n about_o and_o consequent_o they_o must_v have_v their_o back_n expose_v to_o the_o shot_n and_o sword_n of_o their_o enemy_n the_o foot_n indeed_o will_v easy_o face_v about_o but_o then_o if_o the_o depth_n of_o file_n be_v the_o advantage_n i_o have_v it_o who_o charge_v every_o where_o four_o deep_a and_o they_o every_o way_n defend_v but_o three_o deep_a at_o the_o most_o if_o this_o way_n of_o fight_v will_v afford_v i_o solid_a and_o great_a advantage_n against_o a_o enemy_n equal_a to_o i_o in_o the_o goodness_n and_o number_n of_o his_o soldier_n i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o if_o i_o fight_v against_o few_o or_o worse_a man_n than_o i_o but_o great_a and_o more_o certain_a benefit_n will_v result_v from_o it_o the_o chief_a objection_n to_o this_o way_n of_o fight_v that_o i_o know_v of_o be_v as_o to_o the_o musketeer_n who_o be_v but_o four_o deep_a and_o advance_v fire_v the_o first_o rank_n can_v have_v load_v their_o musket_n again_o by_o that_o time_n the_o four_o rank_n have_v do_v fire_v so_o that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o intermission_n of_o shoot_v to_o that_o i_o answer_v let_v the_o musketeer_n charge_v their_o musket_n with_o such_o cartridge_n as_o i_o have_v mention_v and_o the_o first_o rank_n will_v be_v as_o soon_o ready_a if_o you_o be_v but_o four_o deep_a as_o the_o first_o rank_n will_v be_v if_o you_o be_v six_o deep_a load_v with_o bandeleer_n especial_o if_o i_o use_v the_o firelock_n and_o the_o enemy_n the_o match-lock_a beside_o you_o will_v still_o have_v a_o rank_n to_o fire_n till_o you_o fall_v in_o if_o you_o begin_v to_o fire_v but_o at_o a_o short_a distance_n which_o i_o will_v do_v to_o choose_v if_o i_o be_v six_o deep_a last_o be_v both_o these_o deny_v which_o yet_o i_o must_v say_v i_o have_v on_o experiment_n find_v to_o be_v true_a and_o a_o demonstration_n be_v the_o
