:
so
also
is
he
to
cashere
and
dismisse
from
the
Company
,
such
Souldiers
as
hee
findes
fearefull
,
lazie
,
and
vnfit
for
Seruice
.
Furthermore
,
he
is
to
haue
(
if
it
be
possible
)
two
or
three
Souldiers
in
his
Company
,
that
are
expert
in
the
Countrey
and
wayes
thereof
especially
being
in
a
frontier
place
,
that
vpon
all
occasions
hee
may
haue
Guides
of
his
owne
at
hand
,
and
ready
to
serue
him
;
to
which
men
,
he
ought
to
giue
somthing
extraordinary
aboue
the
rest
.
In
Marching
to
his
Guard
or
though
any
place
,
hee
is
to
be
in
the
head
of
his
Company
before
the
Cornet
,
as
also
going
towards
an
Enemie
.
In
Lodging
,
hee
is
to
lodge
in
the
head
of
the
Troupe
.
In
Imbattelling
,
with
other
Troupes
,
he
is
to
take
such
place
,
as
his
superiour
Officer
doe
assigne
him
.
When
the
Lances
are
joyned
with
Curasiers
,
or
Harquebusiers
,
the
Captaine
of
the
Lances
commands
the
other
,
and
in
his
absence
,
the
Captaine
of
the
Curasiers
;
in
both
their
absence
,
the
Captaine
of
the
Harquebusiers
.
The
Lieutenant
of
Horse
.
IT
is
necessary
,
that
the
Lieutenants
of
Horse
,
should
bee
men
of
great
experience
,
abilitie
and
valour
,
such
as
haue
beene
nourished
&
brought
vp
amongst
the
Cauolery
:
ordinarily
those
that
are
aduanced
to
these
places
,
are
such
Souldiers
,
that
in
occasion
haue
giuen
better
proofe
of
their
owne
persons
and
valour
,
then
the
rest
;
that
haue
passed
through
the
other
inferiour
degrees
to
that
charge
,
hauing
beene
Corporals
or
Cornets
.
Hee
is
to
be
assistant
to
the
Captaine
,
in
the
execution
of
all
directions
and
orders
;
and
in
the
absence
of
the
Captaine
,
to
command
the
Troupe
,
many
times
hauing
all
the
difficulties
of
affaires
and
occasions
laid
vpon
him
,
in
regard
that
the
Horse
troupes
,
are
often
giuen
to
young
Genetletlemen
of
Noble
houses
,
that
of
themselues
haue
small
experience
.
The
Lieftenant
must
be
strict
and
seuere
to
his
Souldiers
,
making
them
doe
their
duties
,
and
whatsoeuer
else
is
necessary
(
precisely
and
punctually
)
and
also
to
take
care
,
that
they
looke
diligently
to
their
Horses
,
and
to
their
Armes
.
He
marcheth
alwayes
in
the
Reere
of
the
Troupe
,
taking
care
that
the
Souldiers
follow
the
Captaine
in
their
order
and
due
distances
,
and
that
they
disband
not
from
the
Troupe
.
In
occasions
of
Fight
,
the
Leiftenant
is
to
keepe
himselfe
firme
in
the
Reere
of
his
Troupe
with
his
Sword
in
his
hand
,
to
incourage
the
Souldiers
to
doe
their
duties
:
and
seeing
any
of
them
turning
or
shrinking
,
to
flye
from
the
Troupe
,
let
him
kill
him
,
to
giue
incouragement
to
the
rest
.
But
if
in
the
absence
of
his
Captaine
there
be
presented
any
occasion
of
fight
,
or
that
he
be
to
march
through
suspected
places
,
the
Leiftenant
must
aduance
vp
to
the
Front
into
the
Captaines
place
,
leauing
in
his
place
behinde
some
Officer
reformed
,
or
some
other
person
of
valour
in
whom
he
hath
confidence
,
which
may
discharge
the
duty
of
a
Leiftenant
.
The
Troupe
marching
ordinarily
,
or
passing
through
any
place
,
or
going
to
the
place
of
Armes
to
the
Parado
,
the
Leiftenant
must
in
no
sort
take
the
place
of
the
Captaine
,
but
remaine
alwaies
behinde
as
aforesaid
,
because
the
Lances
and
Carasiers
haue
their
Cornets
,
who
alwayes
march
in
the
head
,
and
lead
the
Troupes
.
But
in
Troups
of
Harquebusiers
that
haue
no
Cornets
;
the
Leiftenant
in
absence
of
his
Captaine
,
is
to
take
his
Captaines
place
in
the
head
of
the
Troupes
,
be
it
in
marching
,
fighting
,
or
drawing
to
the
place
of
Armes
,
as
to
al
other
places
,
sending
to
the
Reere
two
of
his
best
Corporalls
,
to
doe
the
office
of
the
Leiftenant
;
himselfe
now
and
then
notwithstanding
turning
towards
the
Reere
,
to
see
if
the
Souldiers
march
in
order
as
they
should
.
He
must
reade
and
write
,
that
he
may
keepe
a
List
of
the
names
and
surnames
of
the
Souldiers
of
his
Troupe
,
so
as
any
order
being
sent
him
by
writing
,
or
receiuing
Letters
from
his
superiours
,
he
be
not
constrained
to
shew
them
to
others
:
he
must
also
know
the
abilitie
and
sufficiency
of
each
Souldier
,
to
the
end
,
that
there
being
any
occasion
to
send
them
out
to
any
place
,
he
may
know
whom
he
may
best
vse
and
imploy
.
The
Troupe
marching
to
the
guard
,
and
being
approched
neere
vnto
the
place
,
the
Leiftenant
is
to
goe
before
to
view
the
court
of
Guard
;
and
by
the
Leiftenant
,
who
is
to
be
releeued
;
be
informed
of
the
place
of
Centinels
,
both
of
the
day
,
and
of
the
night
,
what
the
wayes
are
he
must
beate
:
and
of
all
other
things
that
by
order
he
is
to
doe
it
in
that
place
.
The
Leiftenant
is
bound
to
place
the
Centinels
himselfe
,
and
to
visit
them
oftentimes
,
sparing
no
diligence
,
keeping
himselfe
in
particuler
,
continually
armed
,
and
his
Horse
bridled
.
The
Troupe
being
lodged
in
any
village
,
the
Leiftenant
must
take
the
Billets
of
the
quarter-Master
of
the
Troupe
,
and
afterwards
distribute
them
himselfe
to
the
Souldiers
,
with
as
much
order
and
contentment
to
them
as
he
can
before
the
Cornets
lodging
,
who
is
to
make
an
halt
or
stand
there
with
the
Troupe
,
and
attend
the
foresaid
distribution
of
the
Billets
,
to
the
end
that
vpon
any
occasion
,
or
when
any
Alarme
happens
,
the
Souldiers
may
know
whereto
come
together
,
and
ioyne
themselues
to
their
Cornet
:
if
they
shall
tarry
longer
then
one
day
in
a
place
,
the
Leiftenant
is
to
visit
the
Horses
,
to
see
how
the
Souldiers
gouerne
themselues
,
and
that
they
indamage
not
their
Hostes
;
which
if
he
finde
,
to
remedy
,
making
the
Captaine
acquainted
with
euery
thing
:
and
when
afterwards
they
doe
dislodge
,
the
Leiftenant
must
command
their
fires
to
be
put
out
,
and
see
it
performed
.
Going
to
lodge
in
any
Village
or
Fort
,
or
to
be
in
Garrison
,
that
the
Leiftenant
ought
so
to
accommo
date
the
extraordinary
reformed
Officers
,
and
others
according
to
their
merits
:
In
all
places
where
they
lodge
more
then
once
aday
;
the
Leiftenant
shall
write
the
names
of
the
Souldiers
vpon
the
Billets
,
and
shall
keepe
a
Register
of
those
Billets
,
that
when
their
Hosts
shall
come
to
make
any
complaint
,
he
may
readily
finde
their
names
,
and
chastise
them
as
he
sees
cause
.
When
the
Troupe
is
to
march
,
and
that
the
Trumpets
sound
to
horse
,
the
Leiftenant
must
bee
first
in
order
and
on
horse-backe
,
taking
care
that
all
the
Souldiers
doe
the
like
with
diligence
:
and
if
he
finde
any
of
them
negligent
in
this
point
,
be
it
either
through
an
ill
custome
,
or
of
purpose
to
loyter
behinde
and
pillage
the
houses
,
he
must
punish
them
presently
with
all
seuerity
,
for
an
axample
to
others
.
It
is
necessary
for
the
Leiftenant
to
haue
knowledge
of
the
country
and
of
the
waies
,
there
happening
many
occasions
that
he
is
to
send
out
to
discouer
,
and
beate
the
coasts
about
;
the
commodity
of
Guides
not
being
at
all
times
found
.
In
case
the
Troupe
be
charged
by
the
Enemie
,
the
Leiftenant
with
some
few
Souldiers
,
being
best
mounted
,
must
stay
behinde
.
Cornet
.
THe
Cornet
in
the
absence
of
the
Captaine
and
Leiftenant
,
commaunds
the
Troupe
.
In
marching
,
he
goes
alwayes
in
the
head
of
the
Troupe
(
yet
behinde
the
Captaine
)
who
must
suffer
no
man
to
march
beyond
the
Standard
,
or
to
be
equall
with
him
.
In
occasion
of
fight
,
the
Cornet
of
a
company
of
Lances
shall
take
his
place
on
the
left
hand
of
the
Captaine
,
and
equall
in
front
with
him
,
and
going
to
the
Shocke
together
with
him
,
must
indeuour
to
breake
his
Cornet
or
Standerd
vpon
the
Enemy
:
which
Standard
falling
so
to
the
ground
,
he
is
not
to
take
care
to
take
it
vp
;
and
if
any
man
shall
take
it
vp
and
restore
it
him
againe
,
he
must
not
put
it
againe
vpon
his
Staffe
:
nor
no
new
in
the
place
,
without
the
permission
of
the
Generall
.
In
occasion
of
fight
with
foote
,
the
Cornet
of
Lances
must
likewise
breake
his
Standard
vpon
the
same
foote
,
but
neither
vpon
Foote
nor
Horse
that
is
turned
and
running
away
.
The
Cornet
of
Curasiers
in
marching
goes
before
the
troupe
with
his
Cornet
,
as
also
when
hee
presenteth
himselfe
in
the
place
of
Armes
,
and
when
hee
is
to
salute
,
he
is
to
doe
it
in
the
same
manner
as
the
Cornet
of
Lances
doth
.
In
the
time
of
fight
,
the
Cornet
of
Curasiers
,
is
to
take
his
place
in
the
middle
of
the
Troupe
,
leaning
behinde
him
the
two
third
parts
of
the
Troupe
,
and
the
other
part
that
is
before
,
must
bee
those
that
be
best
armed
,
and
the
best
men
.
The
Cornet
ought
to
keepe
a
List
of
the
names
of
the
Souldiers
of
the
Troupe
.
In
all
occasions
of
Mutiny
,
discord
,
and
disputes
,
he
is
presently
to
informe
his
Captaine
and
Leiftenant
,
and
to
be
assistant
to
the
Captaine
and
Leiftenant
,
or
either
of
them
,
in
seeing
all
directions
performed
,
that
are
commanded
by
a
superiour
Officer
;
as
also
,
all
such
as
the
Captaine
hath
authority
to
command
.
The
Quarter
Master
his
Office
.
THe
Quarter
Master
is
to
fetch
the
word
euery
night
,
and
the
directions
from
the
Sergeant
Maior
of
the
Horse
:
he
is
to
distribute
the
Billets
among
the
Souldiers
,
and
was
wont
to
dedeliuer
out
their
pay
vnto
them
,
which
now
is
giuen
out
by
the
Leiftenant
of
the
Troupe
,
though
in
my
opinion
not
so
well
;
for
it
were
much
better
,
that
the
Captaine
or
Leiftenant
should
call
the
Quarter
Master
apart
,
appointing
him
the
manner
how
he
should
pay
the
Souldiers
,
to
leaue
the
discharge
of
it
to
him
;
which
without
doubt
would
giue
greater
contentment
,
because
the
Souldier
in
this
point
of
his
accompt
,
may
speake
more
freely
with
the
Quarter
Master
,
then
the
other
Officers
;
who
by
this
meanes
also
,
are
deliuered
from
a
great
many
harsh
replyes
,
which
they
must
ordinarily
receiue
from
the
Souldiers
,
to
the
diminishing
the
respect
they
ought
to
beare
them
.
He
is
to
attend
the
Quarter
Master
Generall
,
and
to
take
his
orders
from
him
of
lodging
the
Troupe
,
carrying
with
him
one
or
two
Souldiers
,
appointed
him
by
the
Leiftenant
,
that
he
may
the
better
aduertise
the
Troupe
where
they
shall
lodge
.
In
the
absence
of
the
Cornet
,
Leiftenant
,
and
Captaine
,
he
is
to
command
the
Company
.
Trumpet
.
THere
ought
to
be
two
Trumpets
in
euery
Troupe
of
Horse
,
who
ought
to
be
diligent
to
sound
precisely
at
the
times
appointed
:
one
of
them
is
to
be
euer
with
the
Cornet
vpon
all
occasions
.
When
the
Troupe
doth
march
,
they
goe
before
the
Captaine
in
the
head
of
the
Troupe
,
and
in
fight
in
the
flancke
of
the
Troups
.
In
Lodging
,
the
one
lodgeth
with
the
Captaine
,
the
other
with
the
Cornet
.
Going
out
of
their
lodging
,
either
on
foot
or
on
Horse-backe
,
they
are
neuer
to
leaue
off
their
Trumpets
,
but
alwayes
to
haue
it
by
them
.
They
are
imployed
in
Messages
for
Prisoners
,
and
other
occasions
to
the
Enemie
,
and
therefore
ought
to
bee
intelligent
men
and
well
gouerned
,
that
they
may
be
able
to
discouer
,
and
at
their
returne
to
giue
an
accompt
of
any
aduantage
of
disorder
or
important
things
,
they
are
able
to
learne
among
the
Enemies
;
as
also
to
keepe
themselues
so
as
they
discouer
nothing
that
may
offend
their
own
party
.
Briefly
,
many
important
seruices
may
be
drawne
from
them
,
and
good
vse
made
;
prouided
they
bee
discreet
.
Corporall
of
Horse
.
THough
there
haue
beene
some
,
who
are
of
opinion
,
that
it
is
not
necessary
to
haue
a
Corporall
in
a
Troupe
of
Lances
and
Curasiers
,
notwithstanding
I
finde
this
Officer
necessary
;
for
by
the
meanes
of
a
Corporall
,
the
duties
are
better
distributed
;
and
they
themselues
goe
forth
with
the
Leiftenant
to
assist
him
to
place
his
Centinels
,
when
it
is
the
Souldiers
turne
of
their
Squadron
to
doe
it
:
and
in
sudden
occasion
of
sending
out
a
number
of
Souldiers
,
the
easiest
way
is
to
command
a
whole
Squadron
to
the
seruice
:
their
lodgings
also
are
made
,
and
distributed
with
more
facility
:
especially
when
the
Troupe
is
not
lodged
altogether
in
one
place
,
and
when
there
are
few
houses
to
be
distributed
;
the
houses
being
distributed
,
so
many
to
a
Squadron
,
the
Leiftenant
giues
the
Billets
thereof
to
each
Squadron
,
whereby
he
is
to
lodge
his
Souldiers
.
In
Troups
of
Harquebufiers
,
we
vse
no
Corporalls
;
and
they
are
of
better
esteeme
,
because
they
haue
euer
beene
there
:
and
the
Hargubusiers
going
many
times
in
small
Troups
;
the
Corporals
haue
therefore
ordinarily
more
imployment
then
the
Launces
or
Curasiers
.
The
Troupes
of
Harquebusiers
doe
ordinarily
battle
(
least
rude
)
and
serue
for
the
Vandguard
,
it
belonging
to
them
to
send
forth
their
Auant
Curriers
;
which
charge
is
giuen
to
one
of
the
Corporalls
,
which
must
bee
a
man
of
good
experience
;
that
he
must
be
able
to
know
how
to
acquit
himselfe
in
a
charge
of
that
importance
.
If
it
be
necessary
to
guard
a
Passage
or
place
of
importance
,
the
custome
is
to
send
a
Corporall
with
his
Squadron
thither
.
In
occasions
of
fight
,
we
are
wont
to
send
out
Corporals
with
their
whole
Squadrons
to
the
skirmish
,
after
the
Lieutenant
is
first
gone
out
for
that
purpose
:
for
hee
is
alwayes
the
first
.
The
Corporals
ought
to
reade
and
write
,
because
they
are
to
keepe
a
list
of
the
Souldiers
of
their
Squadrons
,
to
the
end
hee
may
distribute
vnto
them
equally
their
Duties
.
The
Captaines
are
conformable
to
allow
vnto
the
Corporals
,
an
halfe

The
Dignitie
of
Souldiers
in
their
Fyles
.
Of
the
Ordering
of
a
Foot
Company
,
and
of
the
Dignitie
of
each
Souldier
in
their
Fyle
:
With
the
manner
of
Exercising
now
vsed
.
FIrst
,
it
is
meete
for
diuers
good
respects
,
that
your
men
bee
deuided
into
Companies
,
and
the
Soldiers
of
these
Companies
,
into
their
Fyles
.
Now
a
Fyle
consisteth
of
ten
Souldiers
armed
alike
,
whereof
euery
one
knoweth
his
place
,
all
of
them
standing
in
a
direct
line
downeward
,
and
behind
one
another
,
and
comprehended
betweene
the
Leader
and
the
bringer
vp
.
It
is
likewise
necessary
,
for
the
giuing
of
due
strength
and
reciprocall
proportion
,
that
the
men
of
each
sort
of
Armes
bee
so
indifferently
deuided
,
both
for
the
number
and
qualitie
of
the
men
,
that
in
euery
of
the
said
Fyles
there
may
be
an
equall
distribution
,
both
of
the
better
and
worser
sort
.
This
may
be
done
,
(
the
number
of
men
being
first
knowne
,
and
how
many
of
each
sort
of
Armes
you
haue
)
by
choosing
first
out
of
euery
of
the
said
sorts
,
so
many
of
the
best
men
as
the
whole
number
will
make
Fyles
through
,
so
many
second
,
and
so
onwards
,
still
choosing
of
the
better
sort
,
till
the
tenth
man
bee
chosen
.
The
men
thus
chosen
shall
be
deuided
in
manner
as
followeth
:
The
first
choise
,
because
they
are
men
of
best
worth
,
shall
stand
in
the
Front
,
and
command
the
rest
of
the
Fyle
,
and
these
men
are
to
be
knowne
by
the
name
of
Leaders
.
Those
of
the
second
choise
,
because
they
are
next
in
account
,
are
to
stand
in
the
Reere
or
last
place
of
the
tenne
,
and
are
to
bee
knowne
by
the
name
of
Bringers
vp
.
Those
of
the
third
and
fourth
choise
,
are
to
take
the
fifth
and
sixth
places
in
the
Fyle
,
and
are
to
bee
knowne
by
the
names
of
Middlemen
;
to
wit
,
the
fifth
,
the
Leaders
middle-man
,
the
sixth
,
the
Bringers
vp
middle-man
.
The
fifth
,
sixth
,
and
seauenth
choise
,
to
be
ranged
in
the
second
,
third
,
and
fourth
places
.
The
eighth
,
ninth
,
and
tenth
choise
,
to
bee
in
the
seauenth
,
eight
,
and
ninth
places
:
by
which
discription
it
falls
out
,
that
the
tenth
and
last
place
of
men
(
reckoning
from
the
first
downeward
)
taketh
the
ninth
place
of
the
Fyle
.
These
men
thus
deuided
into
Fyles
,
it
will
be
necessary
for
the
effecting
of
these
thinges
,
that
be
required
by
this
Discipline
;
That
as
the
Souldiers
haue
their
places
in
the
Fyles
according
to
the
worth
of
each
man
,
so
the
Fyles
themselues
should
haue
their
particuler
degrees
and
places
;
to
which
end
,
the
Companies
shall
likewise
consist
of
tenne
Fyles
,
which
shall
take
their
places
one
by
the
other
in
Front
and
Rancke
,
as
the
Souldiers
in
euery
Fyle
did
before
in
Depth
.
Following
which
course
,
the
first
Fyle
shall
stand
on
the
right
hand
of
the
rest
;
the
second
Fyle
in
Dignitie
,
shall
stand
on
the
left
hand
,
outermost
of
the
tenth
.
The
fifth
,
sixth
,
and
seauenth
,
shall
stand
in
the
second
,
third
,
and
fourth
places
,
reckoning
from
the
right
hand
toward
the
middle
Fyle
.
The
eight
,
ninth
,
and
tenth
Fyle
,
in
the
seaunth
,
eighth
,
and
ninth
places
,
from
the
left
hand
Fyle
to
the
middle
Fyle
;
So
that
in
euery
Fyle
,
the
tenth
and
last
man
in
Dignitie
standeth
in
the
ninth
place
,
reckoning
from
the
Leaders
downward
:
&
the
second
in
value
,
the
tenth
and
last
place
.
So
among
the
Fyles
,
the
tenth
,
which
is
the
Fyle
of
least
account
,
taketh
the
ninth
place
,
reckoning
from
the
right
hand
Fyle
,
which
is
the
first
in
Dignitie
and
account
;
and
the
second
in
Dignitie
holds
the
tenth
place
,
being
the
outermost
on
the
left
hand
,
as
the
first
is
on
the
right
.
These
tenne
Fyles
,
I
would
haue
knowne
still
by
their
degrees
of
Value
:
as
first
,
second
,
third
,
fourth
,
fifth
,
sixth
,
seauenth
,
eighth
,
ninth
,
and
tenth
,
and
not
by
the
places
they
stand
in
when
they
are
ranged
,
which
notwithstanding
may
serue
guide
the
men
to
their
places
,
because
they
neuer
change
their
standings
.
The
Dignitie
of
Leaders
.
ANd
as
the
Soldiers
in
euery
Fyle
shall
take
no
place
till
their
Leaders
set
forward
,
at
which
time
they
are
all
to
follow
successiuely
,
as
they
are
to
stand
in
the
fyle
that
the
last
man
may
fall
hindermost
;
so
none
of
the
fyles
shall
take
place
till
the
first
fyle
hath
taken
his
,
and
then
the
rest
as
they
are
to
stand
the
one
by
another
to
take
their
places
,
so
that
still
the
outermost
fyle
to
the
left
hand
,
is
to
take
his
place
last
:
which
manner
being
obserued
and

executed

men
are
ranged
in
an
instant
,
without
any
confusion
or
helpe
of
Officers
.
Now
as
in
Fyles
the
dutie
of
the
Middle-man
is
to
keepe
those
before
him
in
a
right
line
,
The
Fyles
being
ranged
,
the
foure
chiefe
Leaders
(
to
wit
)
the
right
,
lest
,
and
the
two
middle
Leaders
,
are
to
take
care
that
the
Front
bee
kept
euen
,
and
that
the
Distances
in
all
motions
,
together
with
the
Motions
themselues
,
bee
duly
obserued
;
which
is
easily
performed
when
these
soure
keepe
euen
:
for
the
right
Leader
and
his
middle
Leader
,
may
see
that
the
three
Leaders
betwixt
them
doe
their
duties
,
and
the
left
hand
Leader
with
his
middle
Leader
,
the
other
three
betwixt
them
.
Now
resteth
to
teach
,
what
bee
the
other
particuler
Duties
of
the
Leaders
,
Bringers
vp
,
and
Middle-men
of
the
Fyles
;
as
also
what
the
Duties
of
those
Leaders
,
who
in
the
Body
of
the
tenne
Fyles
are
to
doe
their
Office
to
the
Body
,
as
the
others
are
to
euery
fyle
apart
.
The
Leaders
of
the
fyle
ought
to
be
as
followeth
:
As
he
is
the
Chiefe
of
the
ten
,
so
is
he
to
be
respected
and
obeyed
by
them
in
these
thinges
:
they
are
to
shew
themselues
in
their
Armes
when
bee
requireth
it
;
aswell
because
it
is
his
Office
to
see
them
kept
cleane
,
as
to
teach
them
the
true
vse
of
their
Armes
:
to
acquaint
them
how
euery
one
is
to
take
his
place
in
the
fyle
,
to
make
them
perfect
in
all
manner
of
Duties
,
as
March
,
Motions
,
Fight
,
Workes
,
Distances
,
and
Measures
:
as
also
to
instruct
them
in
the
vnderstanding
of
all
Commandements
,
by
Drum
or
by
voyce
,
or
by
any
other
Signall
appointed
:
as
also
how
to
behaue
themselues
in
making
their
Quarter
,
and
making
their
Cabbins
,
wherein
hee
himselfe
when
he
is
joyned
with
other
fyles
,
is
by
his
owne
due
obseruance
of
the
Directions
giuen
,
to
shew
them
the
way
,
and
make
himselfe
their
example
.
The
Bringer
vp
,
as
hee
is
the
second
in
worth
,
so
ought
hee
to
be
the
second
in
estimation
,
and
to
be
held
as
the
Lieutenant
of
the
Fyle
(
not
onely
to
assist
the
Leader
in
euery
thing
of
his
Dutie
,
and
in
his
sicknesse
or
absence
to
execute
his
Office
)
but
to
take
care
also
,
his
fyle
being
ranged
with
a
Body
of
Fyles
,
that
his
fyle
keepe
his
order
duely
,
especially
,
that
halfe
that
is
next
him
:
for
the
Bringers
vp
are
of
speciall
vse
in
March
,
Motion
,
and
Fight
,
as
also
the
Middle-men
;
in
part
because
they
stand
aptly
for
the
gouerning
of
the
Fyle
,
hauing
euery
disorder
in
their
eye
:
And
if
by
the
turning
the
Front
to
the
Reere
,
there
be
occasion
to
resist
in
the
Reere
,
or
by
Deuiding
the
one
halfe
(
as
it
falls
out
many
times
)
both
in
Front
and
Reere
,
then
is
hee
in
all
thinges
to
demeane
himselfe
,
as
is
before
mentioned
in
the
Dutie
of
Leaders
.
As
for
the
Middle-men
,
they
are
not
onely
for
Distinction
sake
,
(
though
it
bee
the
chiefe
end
)
but
are
vpon
the
Deuiding
of
the
body
,
sometimes
to
doe
the
dutie
of
Leaders
,
more
often
of
Bringers
vp
,
because
they
close
the
Reere
of
each
Deuision
,
and
are
to
see
those
of
their
fyles
before
them
doe
their
Duties
;
But
if
the
Body
bee
to
bend
all
his
force
forwards
,
then
is
the
Middle-man
of
the
fist
place
to
Discharge
himselfe
,
as
is
before
mentioned
,
and
to
see
that
the
three
Souldiers
before
him
doe
their
Duties
by
keeping
their
Orders
,
filling
and
supplying
the
places
of
the
slaine
Souldiers
before
them
,
and
the
Enemy
being
broken
,
it
is
their
Duties
to
stirre
them
vp
to
follow
the
chase
sharply
.
The
Middle-man
of
the
sixt
place
,
is
vpon
the
time
of
a
Charge
,
to
leaue
a
little
space
betwixt
the
other
Middle
man
and
himselfe
,
vnlesse
it
bee
thought
necessary
to
support
the
first
Shocke
of
the
Enemy
,
by
standing
closely
joyned
.
In
Fight
,
both
Leaders
,
Bringers
vp
,
Middle-men
,
and
all
the
rest
in
generall
,
are
to
keepe
their
Distances
in
Fyle
and
Rancke
,
diligently
to
bee
silent
;
and
attentiue
to
the
voyce
of
the
Commander
,
to
obserue
the
measures
of
March
and
Skirmish
duly
,
not
to
bend
their
Weapons
or
offer
Fight
before
they
may
well
do
it
,
as
also
not
to
forbeare
it
or
performe
it
lazily
when
time
serueth
,
not
to
leaue
his
place
through
Cowardise
or
sence
of
slight
hurts
,
to
succeed
willingly
and
readily
in
the
emptie
place
before
him
,
the
Souldier
that
possessed
it
being
slaine
,
or
grieuosly
hurt
,
and
no
longer
able
to
resist
:
not
to
leaue
their
places
for
the
carrying
away
of
their
fellowes
that
are
hurt
;
not
to
step
vntimely
,
or
presse
ouer
hastily
to
the
Fight
,
either
exceeding
the
measure
of
the
March
,
or
before
the
Souldier
before
him
,
by
giuing
backe
,
shew
that
hee
cannot
make
his
place
good
any
longer
.
This
shall
satisfie
at
this
time
for
the
Duties
of
the
Leaders
,
Bringers
vp
,
and
Middle-men
,
with
the
rest
of
the
Fyles
in
a
Company
;
wee
will
now
goe
forwards
to
the
Distances
and
Motions
,
with
which
they
are
to
be
acquainted
.
Of
Distances
.
Your
second
distances
is
your
order
,
which
is
,
when
the
Souldiers
in
their
rankes
and
Fyles
,
stand
three
foot
remoued
asunder
,
which
is
vsed
when
you
will
imbattaile
your
Troups
,
and
lead
them
against
the
Enemie
,
or
when
you
come
to
stand
,
or
meane
to
wheele
the
Body
:
For
when
you
march
,
you
are
to
obserue
three
foot
betweene
the
Fyles
,
and
sixe
betweene
the
Ranks
,
vnlesse
you
march
with
your
Pikes
aduanced
,
in
which
case
you
may
keepe
your
meaner
order
of
fixe
foot
in
square
.
Both
the
heauy
Armed
,
and
the
light
Armed
,
are
to
bee
made
acquainted
with
these
distances
;
there
are
also
other
Distances
,
which
I
would
haue
the
light
Armed
accustomed
to
:
and
those
likewise
are
of
three
sorts
,
as
the
former
,
which
I
would
haue
distinguished
by
the
great
,
the
meane
,
and
the
lesse
:
of
your
open
orders
,
the
great
thirtie
foot
betweene
Fyle
and
Fyle
,
the
meane
twentie
foot
,
and
the
lesse
fifteene
foot
:
but
though
the
rankes
alwayes
obserue
three
foot
;
onely
the
men
in
the
Fyles
are
to
side
,
or
stand
stooping
,
either
to
the
right
or
left
hand
Diaginall
to
the
distance
:
the
Fyles
are
ranged
,
in
either
3.
feet
,
2.
feet
,
or
1
½
feet
to
the
hand
required
,
or
shall
be
demonstrated
in
his
place
,
where
I
purpose
to
declare
the
vse
of
these
Distances
,
and
my
meaning
herein
:
your
Musketiers
are
neuer
to
be
closer
,
then
your
meane
order
of
three
foot
in
square
,
because
they
are
to
haue
a
free
vse
of
their
Armes
.
The
Generall
motions
which
the
Company
or
Troupes
are
to
obserue
.
NOw
that
I
haue
framed
the
Body
,
in
manner
as
you
haue
seene
,
&
particularly
inlarged
euery
part
thereof
,
with
the
distances
to
be
vsed
and
obserued
in
all
occasions
;
I
may
boldly
proceed
to
the
orderly
mouing
of
the
same
,
which
I
would
gladly
so
effect
,
that
the
whole
Body
or
Troupe
should
moue
as
nimbly
,
and
with
as
small
confusion
,
as
the
body
of
man
:
which
by
the
due
execution
of
that
which
followes
,
may
be
in
many
performed
.
But
before
I
proceed
to
deliuer
the
Motions
themselues
:
I
finde
it
requisite
to
giue
these
three
rules
,
which
you
are
euer
to
obserue
.
1.
All
commands
are
to
bee
deliuered
in
the
Front
wheresoeuer
it
be
.
2.
Whensoeuer
the
Flanck
is
made
the
Front
;
the
shott
that
are
now
in
the
Front
,
and
the
Reere
,
shall
remoue
and
fall
vpon
the
Flancks
,
the
right
to
the
right
,
and
the
left
to
the
left
.
3.
Whensoeuer
these
words
of
direction
(
as
you
were
)
are
propounded
:
it
is
meant
thereby
,
that
you
are
to
returne
by
the
contrary
hand
,
to
the
place
from
whence
you
came
;
as
for
example
:
if
you
did
turne
to
the
right
hand
,
you
are
to
returne
as
you
were
to
the
left
hand
,
and
so
in
all
other
motions
.
The
motions
of
Troupes
are
two-fold
,
of
the
whole
,
or
of
part
;
of
the
person
of
a
Souldier
in
his
station
,
or
of
the
limmes
of
the
body
,
constituted
into
Rankes
or
Fyles
;
and
these
either
of
keeping
or
leauing
the
place
they
stand
in
:
In
that
of
keeping
their
places
,
the
men
only
turne
their
bodyes
,
the
way
which
is
commanded
them
:
in
that
of
leauing
their
places
,
the
whole
body
moueth
into
an
other
place
or
a
part
thereof
:
which
motions
for
the
better
vnderstanding
,
wee
will
distinguish
the
Rankes
and
Fyles
.
By
Ranks
,
the
body
changing
his
place
,
but
so
as
the
Leader
of
the
corner
Fyle
of
that
hand
,
to
which
the
body
wheeleth
,
turnes
his
body
only
that
way
the
Manaple
moueth
,
vnlesse
in
doubling
of
Rankes
wherein
it
is
changed
but
in
part
,
or
by
countermarching
,
which
may
be
done
,
and
the
place
kept
:
This
is
mouing
by
ranckes
,
which
is
to
be
vsed
,
when
we
desire
to
keepe
neere
to
our
first
station
.
By
Fyles
,
howsoeuer
each
man
in
his
owne
place
may
alter
,
or
the
men
in
their
Fyles
may
change
their
places
;
the
Body
or
maine
,
keepeth
the
proportion
still
,
vnlesse
you
make
of
the
Flanke
the
Front
,
wherein
though
the
Maniple
retayneth
his
order
and
so
much
ground
,
yet
not
the
same
ground
.
The
motions
of
the
person
in
his
proper
place
are
commanded
by
these
termes
of
direction
:
(
to
wit
)
to
the
right
hand
:
to
the
left
hand
:
and
to
the
right
or
left
hand
about
,
or
to
the
Reere
.
The
motions
of
the
lymbes
,
is
properly
so
termed
,
when
only
some
of
them
doe
moue
,
and
the
rest
doe
stand
:
as
in
these
words
of
commaund
;
Rankes
to
the
right
or
left
hand
double
:
Fyles
to
the
right
or
left
hand
double
,
Ranks
close
forward
;
Ranks
open
backwards
,
Fyles
to
the
right
or
left
hand
close
,
or
open
to
the
distance
you
will
haue
them
.
When
the
commandement
is
giuen
for
the
altering
any
of
the
Distances
by
Fyles
,
There
be
two
sorts
of
doubling
:
The
one
by
Ranks
,
the
other
by
Fyles
,
and
both
these
are
performed
diuers
wayes
as
shall
be
shewed
.
When
an
Enemie
goeth
about
to
disclose
you
with
the
ouer-breadth
of
his
body
,
it
will
bee
necessary
for
you
then
to
increase
or
double
your
Front
,
which
may
be
done
either
by
Rankes
,
when
euery
second
ranke
commeth
betweene
the
distances
of
the
Ranke
before
it
,
and
that
either
to
the
right
,
or
to
the
left
hand
:
Or
by
the
bringers
vp
by
Induction
,
which
is
,
when
the
bringers
vp
doe
aduance
through
the
distances
betweene
the
Fyles
;
and
next
after
them
,
the
next
last
Ranke
,
and
so
the
rest
successiuely
,
till
the
bringers
vp
bee
in
the
ranke
with
the
Leaders
,
and
their
Middle-men
with
the
Leaders
middle-men
,
and
so
the
second
,
third
,
Or
by
deuision
,
when
the
last
fiue
Rankes
doe
turne
their
faces
,
the
one
halfe
in
their
fyles
to
the
right
hand
,
and
the
other
halfe
to
the
left
hand
,
and
so
march
forth
from
both
the
flancks
,
till
they
haue
gotten
such
a
proportion
of
ground
or
distance
,
as
is
answerable
to
the
order
the
first
fiue
Ranks
doe
stand
in
;
and
then
presently
without
attending
any
further
commandement
,
they
turne
their
faces
againe
towards
the
front
,
and
march
vpon
both
flanckes
,
till
they
come
euen
with
the
front
;
Or
by
halfe
rankes
,
when
euery
second
ranke
diuideth
it selfe
,
and
increaseth
the
former
vpon
each
side
.
But
because
this
manner
of
Doubling
,
in
the
very
orderliest
&
best
performance
,
cannot
but
breake
the
Body
,
by
reason
of
the
disioyning
of
Fyles
:
I
would
rather
put
the
one
halfe
of
the
Fyles
behinde
the
other
halfe
,
which
may
bee
speedily
performed
,
either
by
the
aduancing
of
falling
backe
of
the
one
halfe
part
of
the
Fyles
:
the
wordes
of
Direction
are
;
Fyle
vpon
fyle
.
But
if
you
desire
to
keepe
the
same
ground
,
then
let
the
one
halfe
part
of
the
fyle
in
the
Body
which
is
to
Double
,
close
their
Ranckes
forwards
towards
the
Leaders
,
to
halfe
the
Distance
they
were
in
before
the
Commandement
was
giuen
:
And
the
other
halfe
part
of
the
fyles
in
the
Body
,
to
shorten
their
Distances
toward
the
Reere
,
or
Bringers
vp
,
to
halfe
that
they
held
backwards
:
By
which
meanes
it
will
fall
out
,
that
the
Leaders
of
the
halfe
which
is
to
double
,
will
stand
a
little
beyond
the
Bringers
vp
of
the
other
halfe
:
and
by
Edging
of
their
fyles
behind
the
other
halfe
,
may
easily
performe
your
Direction
;
The
wordes
of
Command
are
these
,
Fyles
double
the
Body
to
the
right
or
left
hand
.
Counter-March
.
COunter-Marches
are
two-fold
,
for
either
wee
Counter-march
the
Ranckes
,
or
the
Fyles
:
and
these
either
by
changing
your
ground
,
or
keeping
still
the
same
ground
.
But
though
to
shew
the
diuersitie
of
them
,
the
kindes
are
distinguished
by
Rankes
and
Fyles
;
yet
in
the
practice
you
are
to
nominate
neither
,
but
are
to
say
:
To
the
right
or
to
the
left
hand
Counter-march
.
The
vse
is
,
when
the
Enemy
shewes
himselfe
vpon
your
Reere
,
and
you
desire
to
confront
him
with
your
best
men
;
the
wordes
of
Direction
are
:
To
the
right
or
left
hand
Counter-march
and
passe
:
if
you
will
keepe
the
same
Ground
,
then
thus
:
The
Leaders
vpon
the
Word
giuen
must
turne
as
before
and
March
through
the
Distances
of
the
fyles
,
till
they
come
betweene
thc
Distances
where
the
Bringers
vp
stand
;
and
so
the
rest
successiuely
.
After
them
the
Middle-men
,
the
ranckes
of
the
second
Middle-men
standing
firme
,
till
the
fiue
first
Ranckes
haue
possessed
the
place
betweene
the
last
fiue
,
and
doe
by
that
meanes
double
them
.
Then
the
Middle-men
to
the
Bringers
vp
without
attending
any
further
Command
,
shall
march
till
they
haue
gotten
the
distance
of
the
Rancks
,
which
done
,
they
shall
take
their
place
right
behind
the
Leaders
Middle-men
:
so
the
rest
likewise
successiuely
,
Marching
out
after
one
another
to
the
same
distance
,
&
shal
turne
&
take
their
places
till
the
Bringers
vp
get
the
places
the
Leaders
marched
from
,
&
the
Leaders
the
places
where
the
Bringers
vp
stood
:
The
words
of
direction
;
To
the
right
or
left
hand
Countermarch
and
stand
:
The
very
same
is
done
otherwise
thus
:
Assoone
,
as
you
haue
giuen
the
word
Countermarch
,
and
the
Leaders
begin
to
turne
;
at
the
same
time
and
instant
all
the
Body
shall
mooue
forward
,
and
the
Ranckes
aduance
successiuely
one
after
another
,
still
turning
after
their
Leaders
as
they
come
vp
to
the
place
from
whence
they
mooued
,
and
following
them
till
the
Leaders
haue
taken
the
place
of
the
Bringers
vp
,
and
the
Bringers
vp
bee
come
into
the
places
of
the
Leaders
;
The
words
are
:
to
the
right
or
left
hand
Counter-march
.
The
vse
is
,
when
you
will
passe
your
Musquetiers
all
to
one
flancke
,
or
any
Maniple
or
Maniples
to
any
other
Quarter
of
the
Army
,
either
from
the
right
hand
to
the
left
,
or
to
the
middle
Battell
,
or
any
contrary
.
When
you
will
Wheele
the
body
or
Maniple
to
the
right
hand
,
you
must
command
the
right
hand
Fyle
to
stand
firme
:
If
you
will
returne
the
Body
into
his
place
againe
,
you
may
wheele
it
round
,
by
giuing
it
one
halfe
turne
more
,
hauing
once
already
had
an
halfe
turne
;
which
will
bring
that
Aspect
backe
againe
that
way
from
whence
it
was
first
mooued
:
But
if
the
Body
haue
made
but
a
quarter
turne
to
the
right
hand
,
then
before
you
wheele
them
backe
,
you
must
say
;
To
the
right
hand
.
And
all
of
them
will
turne
their
faces
that
way
:
then
bid
the
Leader
who
was
the
right
hand
Leader
,
and
is
now
become
the
left
,
to
stand
firme
;
And
the
rest
to
wheele
backe
againe
about
him
the
quarter
turne
:
then
let
them
Front
as
they
were
,
and
so
your
first
Ranke
of
Leaders
hath
gotten
the
place
,
from
whence
at
first
it
wheeled
;
Then
say
,
Rankes
open
backward
.
And
when
the
Rankes
haue
taken
their
first
places
and
Distances
,
then
say
;
Fyles
to
the
left
hand
open
:
so
all
the
Fyles
turning
their
Aspect
towards
the
left
flanke
,
march
from
the
right
hand
Leader
(
who
hath
his
place
already
,
and
therefore
is
to
stand
firme
)
till
they
haue
taken
all
the
first
places
and
Distances
,
and
then
they
must
Front
againe
as
they
were
:
And
thus
they
are
restored
to
their
first
Ground
and
Order
.
When
you
intend
to
wheele
a
single
Company
,
you
must
Double
their
Rankes
before
they
wheele
,
in
regard
the
Body
is
but
small
;
but
in
a
Diuision
or
greater
Body
,
you
close
both
Ranke
and
Fyle
to
the
Order
of
three
foot
,
omitting
to
Double
.
The
same
Precepts
are
to
bee
vsed
to
the
contrary
hand
,
if
you
bee
wheeled
to
the
left
flanke
.
Now
wee
will
say
somewhat
of
Exercising
the
Pyke
,
before
we
come
to
the
Musquetier
:
The
punctuall
handling
of
the
Pyke
which
euery
man
is
to
bee
practised
in
,
because
it
is
common
,
wee
will
omit
,
and
proceed
to
the
tearmes
of
Direction
;
which
are
these
:
viz.
Aduance
your
Pykes
.
Order
your
Pykes
.
Shoulder
your
Pykes
,
and
slope
them
.
Charge
your
Pykes
.
Order
your
Pykes
.
Trayle
your
Pykes
.
Cheeke
your
Pykes
.
These
following
Motions
are
to
bee
performed
,
both
Standing
and
Marching
.
They
must
obserue
when
they
Charge
standing
,
to
fall
backe
with
the
right
leg
,
and
Marching
,
to
set
forward
the
left
:
When
you
Charge
to
the
left
hand
stand
firme
with
the
right
leg
,
&
only
turne
a
litle
on
your
left
heele
.
Now
for
the
Musquetiers
,
because
some
Motions
there
are
proper
and
belonging
to
them
onely
For
the
handling
the
Musquet
and
the
Postures
:
wee
will
omit
them
,
and
onely
tye
you
in
the
Exercise
to
these
three
tearmes
of
Directions
,
which
include
all
the
other
particularities
.
Make
ready
,
Present
,
Giue
Fire
.
Your
Musquetiers
must
obserue
in
all
their
Actions
to
turne
to
the
Right
hand
;
and
that
they
carry
the
mouthes
of
their
Musquets
high
,
as
well
when
they
are
Shouldered
as
in
Priming
;
as
also
when
they
hold
their
Pannes
guarded
,
and
come
vp
to
giue
fire
.
All
Skirmishes
and
Fights
,
are
performed
one
of
these
three
wayes
:
either
by
Aduancing
,
or
Retiring
,
or
by
the
Flanke
.
In
Aduancing
towards
an
Enemy
(
if
they
Skirmish
not
disbanded
)
they
giue
fire
by
Ranke
,
after
this
manner
.
Two
Rankes
must
alwayes
make
ready
together
,
and
aduance
tenne
paces
before
the
Body
;
at
which
distance
a
Sergeant
(
or
when
the
body
is
great
)
some
better
quallified
Officer
is
to
stand
,
euen
with
whom
the
Musquetiers
are
to
come
vp
,
which
they
are
to
performe
,
one
Ranke
still
one
after
another
;
the
second
Ranke
obseruing
still
to
keepe
their
Musquets
vpon
their
Rests
,
and
to
guard
their
Pannes
till
the
first
haue
discharged
and
be
fallen
away
;
&
then
presently
after
them
,
the
second
Ranke
is
to
giue
fire
and
fall
away
after
the
first
Ranke
,
falling
euen
behind
the
other
Rankes
in
the
Reere
,
and
falling
vp
after
them
:
whilest
the
first
two
Rankes
come
vp
and
giue
Fire
,
the
two
next
are
to
make
ready
,
and
to
aduance
forwards
as
farre
as
the
afore
mentioned
Officer
,
and
no
further
,
assoone
as
euer
the
two
first
are
falne
away
;
and
they
are
to
doe
all
thinges
in
the
same
manner
they
did
before
them
,
and
so
all
the
other
Rankes
by
twoes
,
one
after
another
.
When
they
haue
presented
,
no
man
must
be
suffered
to
Discharge
his
Musquet
,
till
the
word
(
Giue
Fire
)
bee
giuen
,
and
then
the
whole
Ranke
must
be
taught
to
Discharge
hansomely
and
altogether
,
no
man
being
permitted
to
take
his
ayme
higher
then
the
Girdle
or
the
Middle
of
a
man
.
When
you
will
acquaint
them
to
giue
Fire
,
retyring
from
an
Enemy
,
you
must
do
it
in
this
manner
:
As
the
Troupe
marcheth
,
the
last
Ranke
makes
ready
;
and
beeing
ready
,
turneth
at
an
instant
to
the
right
hand
,
Presents
and
giues
Fire
;
which
being
performed
,
they
March
one
after
another
,
a
good
round
pace
towards
the
Front
;
and
there
place
themselues
together
before
the
Souldiers
;
as
soone
as
the
aforesaid
first
Ranke
is
turned
to
Discharge
,
the
Ranke
next
it
makes
ready
;
and
when
the
formost
is
Marched
away
,
the
second
comes
vp
after
the
same
manner
the
former
did
,
Presenting
,
giuing
Fire
,
falling
away
,
and
performing
all
thinges
in
the
same
sort
the
former
did
,
so
successiuely
the
rest
one
after
another
.
We
giue
fire
by
Flankes
,
thus
;
The
outmost
Fyle
next
you
must
be
Commanded
to
make
ready
,
Marching
still
along
with
the
body
till
such
time
as
they
be
ready
;
&
then
they
are
to
turne
at
the
Signall
giuen
vpon
the
Enemy
,
&
giue
Fire
altogether
at
one
time
:
when
they
haue
Discharged
,
they
stirre
not
but
stand
firme
,
keeping
their
Ground
,
and
Charging
their
Musquets
againe
.
Now
assoone
as
the
foresaid
Fyle
turnes
to
giue
Fire
,
the
outmost
next
it
must
make
ready
,
alwayes
Marching
along
with
the
Body
,
till
the
Bringer
vp
bee
past
a
little
beyond
the
Leader
of
the
Fyle
that
gaue
fire
last
,
and
then
the
second
outmost
Fyle
,
must
turne
altogether
and
giue
fire
,
doing
as
the
first
did
;
and
so
all
the
rest
of
the
Fyles
successiuely
one
after
another
.
A
Sergeant
,
or
if
the
Troupe
bee
great
,
some
better
qualified
Officer
,
shall
stand
at
the
head
of
the
first
fyle
,
and
as
soone
as
the
second
fyle
hath
giuen
fire
,
he
is
to
lead
forwards
the
first
fyle
,
and
so
the
rest
one
after
another
,
till
he
hath
gathered
vp
the
whole
wing
of
Shotte
;
and
then
hee
shall
ioyne
them
againe
in
equall
front
with
the
Pykes
.
Another
way
of
skirmishing
is
this
;
all
the
whole
wing
of
Musketiers
