OF
the
Souldiers
Grammar
.
CHAP.
1.
Of
the
Raunge
of
Officers
,
from
the
lowest
to
the
Highest
.
ALl
the
lowe
inferior
Raunges
I
haue
a
little
touched
before
,
both
in
the
Accidence
,
and
in
the
first
part
of
this
Grammar
,
but
not
so
Methodically
and
orderly
as
now
I
entend
to
proceed
,
and
of
the
great
and
superiour
Officers
,
I
haue
not
made
any
mention
at
all
;
and
therefore
in
this
place
I
may
not
omitt
them
.
Launcepesado
.
The
lowest
Raunge
and
meanest
officer
in
an
Army
is
called
the
Launcepesado
,
or
Launspresado
,
who
is
the
leader
or
gouernour
of
halfe
a
File
,
and
therefore
is
commonly
called
a
Midle
man
,
or
Captaine
ouer
foure
.
He
is
the
Corporals
deputy
,
and
in
his
absence
,
dischargeth
his
duties
:
the
nature
of
whose
place
,
his
Office
and
dignitie
,
I
haue
at
large
set
downe
in
the
Souldiers
Accidence
:
This
is
the
most
inferiour
Officer
or
effectuall
Commander
,
and
therefore
hath
the
lowest
and
last
Range
in
Battailes
,
yet
he
holdeth
his
dignity
by
the
antiquity
of
his
Place
,
and
the
greatnesse
of
him
vnder
whom
he
is
commanded
:
As
the
Launspesado
vnder
the
Generall
,
is
before
the
Launspesado
vnder
the
Lieutenant-Generall
;
that
of
the
Sergeant
Maior
Generall
,
before
the
Colonell
Generall
;
that
of
the
Colonell
of
a
Regiment
,
before
his
Lieutenant
Colonell
;
the
Lieuetenant
Colonell
,
before
the
Sergeant
Maior
of
a
Regiment
;
the
Seriant
Maior
,
before
the
Captaine
;
and
the
Captaines
successiuely
according
to
their
antiquities
.
Corporall
Next
aboue
the
Launspesado
is
raunged
the
Corporall
,
of
whose
particular
Office
I
haue
written
sufficiently
in
the
Souldiers
Accidence
.
He
is
the
Leader
or
Captaine
of
a
Fyle
,
and
the
Commander
of
a
Squadron
,
which
commonly
is
twenty
fiue
Men
;
these
take
their
ranges
or
places
of
dignitie
as
the
former
,
that
is
,
according
to
their
antiquity
,
and
the
greatnesse
of
the
Person
vnder
whome
they
are
commanded
.
Sergeant
of
the
Band.
The
next
in
range
aboue
the
Corporall
is
the
Sergeant
of
the
Band
,
whose
particular
Office
I
haue
also
at
large
set
downe
in
the
Souldiers
Accidence
;
and
howsoeuer
his
Name
and
Place
be
neglected
and
forgotten
in
the
Roman
Discypline
,
yet
is
he
an
Officer
with
vs
of
great
vse
and
eminence
;
he
hath
no
certaine
place
or
range
within
the
Battalia
,
but
is
extrauegant
and
wandering
vp
&
downe
euery
where
,
to
see
the
Ranks
and
Files
be
kept
,
and
that
the
Bodie
run
not
into
any
disorder
;
they
also
take
their
places
of
dignity
and
are
ranged
as
the
former
,
that
is
,
according
to
their
antiquity
,
and
the
greatnesse
of
the
Person
vnder
whom
they
command
.
Next
to
the
Sergeant
of
the
Band
is
ranged
the
Drum
,
The
Drum
whose
place
is
Gentile
and
of
great
respect
,
for
he
ought
to
be
a
Souldier
of
much
experience
and
iudgement
,
and
(
if
possible
)
a
good
Linguist
,
that
being
sent
to
the
Enemy
vpon
any
occasion
,
he
may
be
able
to
deliuer
his
Message
without
any
Interpreter
or
assistant
,
and
also
,
to
take
notice
of
such
thinges
of
importance
as
shall
encounter
with
his
eies
or
eares
,
whereby
his
owne
party
may
be
bettered
or
secured
;
this
Officer
is
ranged
according
to
his
antiquitie
and
greatnesse
of
place
;
that
is
to
say
,
the
Drum
Maior
of
the
Army
hath
the
first
and
principall
range
,
then
the
Drumm
Maiors
of
Regiments
successiuely
,
according
to
the
antiquities
of
their
Colonells
;
and
so
all
other
Drums
,
according
to
the
places
of
their
Officers
in
chiefe
&
other
Captaines
.
The
Clarke
of
the
Band
Next
the
Drum
I
range
the
Clearke
of
the
Bande
who
although
he
be
no
Souldier
,
nor
haue
any
Martiall
command
in
the
Field
,
or
before
the
face
of
the
Enemy
,
yet
ought
he
to
be
a
Gentleman
of
good
respect
and
well
quallified
,
that
is
to
say
,
he
ought
to
be
learned
in
all
Martiall
Lawes
,
whereby
he
may
instruct
the
Souldiers
,
and
preuent
Trespasses
;
he
ought
to
be
skilfull
in
accompts
,
because
he
is
the
Auditor
which
keepeth
all
sorts
of
accompts
betweene
the
Captaine
and
the
Souldier
;
as
for
his
range
,
it
is
incertaine
,
for
he
hath
no
particular
Place
of
preheminence
,
but
so
far
forth
as
his
honest
vertue
and
faire
demeanour
carrieth
him
,
so
he
is
to
be
respected
and
preferred
,
and
this
range
will
fall
fitte
both
with
his
quallity
and
place
,
as
is
seene
in
the
generall
experience
both
of
our
owne
and
other
Armies
;
and
this
Officer
houldeth
the
dignity
of
his
place
,
not
according
to
antiquitie
,
but
according
to
the
greatnesse
and
great
office
of
the
Person
vnder
whom
he
serueth
.
Next
to
this
Officer
I
range
the
Chirurgion
,
The
Chirurgion
.
who
likewise
is
no
Souldier
,
but
holdeth
the
dignitie
of
his
place
from
curtesie
and
good
manners
;
he
ought
to
be
learned
and
skilfull
in
his
profession
,
&
thereby
hauing
wonne
the
heart
of
the
Souldier
,
he
need
not
doubt
of
reuerence
;
as
for
his
range
in
generall
,
it
is
according
to
his
desert
and
fayre
demeanour
;
but
in
particular
(
and
amongst
his
fellow
Chirurgions
)
the
Chirurgion
Maior
hath
the
first
range
,
and
then
the
rest
according
to
antiquitie
,
and
the
greatnesse
of
the
Person
vnder
whom
he
serueth
.
Now
to
returne
againe
to
the
Souldier
:
The
next
Officer
which
is
ranged
in
the
warrs
is
the
Ensigne
of
the
Band
,
The
Ensigne
.
or
bearer
of
the
Captaines
Cullors
;
this
Officer
ought
to
be
a
Gentleman
of
great
respect
and
trust
,
for
his
Captaines
honour
is
deliuered
into
his
care
and
keeping
:
Whence
it
came
to
passe
that
the
antient
Romans
when
they
deliuered
their
Cullors
to
any
mans
trust
,
they
did
it
with
great
ceremonie
and
solemnity
,
the
partie
trusted
,
receiuing
them
by
oath
,
in
the
face
of
the
Souldiers
;
and
the
Souldiers
likewise
taking
an
oath
for
faythfulnesse
to
their
Coullors
,
and
this
oath
was
called
Militia
Sacrata
:
This
Officer
was
called
amongst
the
Romans
,
Signifer
,
or
Bandopharus
,
whom
they
euer
ranged
next
vnto
the
Captaine
,
as
at
this
day
the
Spaniard
doth
,
who
will
not
allow
any
Lieutenant
,
because
there
shall
not
be
any
interposition
betweene
the
Ensigne
bearer
and
the
Captaine
;
but
our
discipline
altereth
in
this
nature
,
and
therefore
the
Ensigne
taketh
his
range
after
his
Lieutenant
,
and
according
to
his
antiquitie
,
or
the
greatnesse
of
the
person
vnder
whom
he
commandeth
,
hauing
superiour
Office
or
place
of
command
in
the
Armie
.
Next
to
the
Ensigne
,
is
ranged
the
Lieuetenant
of
a
Band
,
The
Lieutenant
.
whom
(
howsoeuer
the
Romans
and
Spaniards
doe
skippe
and
leape
ouer
,
as
a
place
neglected
or
forgotten
)
yet
is
he
a
Gentleman
of
singular
trust
and
reputation
,
for
he
is
his
Captaines
principall
Councelor
,
and
one
that
taketh
all
burthens
from
the
Captaines
shoulders
:
In
the
Captaines
absence
he
performeth
all
the
Captaines
duties
,
commandeth
as
Captaine
,
and
in
his
presence
is
assistant
to
all
the
Captaines
commandements
,
and
an
indifferent
moderator
in
all
questions
betweene
the
Captaine
and
the
Souldier
:
These
Lieutenants
take
their
ranges
or
places
of
dignitie
according
to
the
antiquitie
of
their
Captaines
,
and
the
greatnesse
of
place
in
which
they
command
;
as
the
Lieutenant
to
the
Generall
,
or
the
Liuetenant
Generall
are
Captaines
absolute
:
The
Lieutenants
of
other
great
and
superiour
Officers
,
and
the
Lieutenants
of
Colonells
are
Captaines
in
curtesie
,
and
may
in
a
Court
of
Warre
fitte
as
the
puny
Captaine
of
that
Regiment
in
which
he
commandeth
:
The

them
,
then
the

of
Serieant

the
Quarter
Maisters
of
Regiments
,
who
besides
the
deuision
of
Quarters
,
ought
to
discharge
the
office
of
Harbingers
,
for
to
make
them
two
distinkt
places
is
a
surcharge
to
the
Army
,
and
these
take
their

according

of
the

in
which
they
commande
.
Prouest

Next

Aboue
all

,
of

and
commanded
an

were
diuers
Centurions
,
and
yet
but
one
Ensigne
;
and
these
at
this
day
are
those
which
we
call
Colonells
:
But
for
the
priuate
Captaine
(
of

we

)
he
is
(

to
be
)
a
Gentleman

perrils

be
preuented
,
and
the

These

no
lesse
then
a
King
,
valuing
this
high
Place
at
so
great
a
rate
,
that
they
thought
the
best
Subiect
too
meane
to
vndergoe
it
;
But
we
finde
it
otherwise
,
and
reason
leades
vs
to
better
argument
;
for
although
Kings
are
the
best
Generalls
,
yet
(
God
forbid
)
but
they
should
haue
that
power
and
priueledge
to
elect
out
of
their
Noblest
and
best
deserning
Subiects
,
such
able
and
sufficient
Generalls
as
may
take
vpon
them
the
gouernment
of
an
armie
,
and
not
be
tyed
at
all
times
and
vpon
all
occasions
to
imbarque
themselues
into
the
danger
of
the
Warres
.
Thus
you
see
that
Subiects
may
be
Generalls
,
yet
indeed
none
worthily
but
the
best
of
Subiects
,
who
for
their
excellent
vertues
draw
the
nearest
in
quality
vnto
Kings
.
A
second
Range
Thus
haue
I
runne
through
the
whole
Range
of
great
and
small
Offices
,
which
support
and
gouerne
an
Army
,
and
must
of
necessity
be
(
for
their
Marshiall
imployment
)
in
the
range
and
martch
thereof
;
yet
notwithstanding
I
must
confesse
,
I
haue
skipt
or
leapt
ouer
a
range
of
Officers
,
which
out
of
certaine
priueledges
which
they
haue
,
are
more
remote
and
abandoned
from
the
Army
,
or
else
haue
such
places
of
particularitie
and
certainetie
,
that
they
doe
not
entirely
mixe
and
ioyne
with
the
grosse
Bodie
;
besides
,
they
haue
another
dependance
,
and
indeed
are
called
the
particuler
Officers
belonging
vnto
the
Caualarie
or
Horse
Armie
,
and
howsoeuer
they
haue
Foote
commands
,
yet
they
depend
and
waite
vpon
the
Horse
,
and
from
the
Lord
Marshall
take
all
their
directions
.
The
Master
Gunner
,
The
first

these
is
the
Master
Gunner

athoritie
ouer

see
that
euery
man
performe
his
dutie
:
This
Officer
,
though
he
had
no
place
amongst
the
Romans
,
because
the
inuention
of
Powder
was
not
then
found
out
,
yet
they
had
amongst
them
a
kinde
of
Artillerie
,
which
they
called
Arietes
,
Scorpions
,
Balistas
,
Arcubalistas
,
Testudines
,
Turres
,
and
a
world
of
other
Engines

was

;
for
it
is
true
,
that
from
nicenesse
&
curiositie
,
first
grew
the
foundation
of
this
Office
;
he
hath
supreame
authoritie

Randged
the
Scout-Master
Generall

who
amongst
the

Campe
,

walls
of
the
Towne
as
in

who
differed

easily

of

Importance
.
CHAP.
II.
Of
the
seuerall
Imbattalings
of
a
priuate
Company
of
200.
or
otherwise
.
THere
hath
bene
,
Differences
in
oppinions
,
touching
a
priuate
company
,
and
is
at
this
day
,
much
disputation
and
Arguments
amongst
old
and
new
Soldiers
touching
the
composition
or
Number
of
a
priuate
Captains
company
,
some
allowing
more
as
200
,
or
250
,
&
300
,
nay
at
this
day
500
,
in
a
priuate
Captaines
Command
;
others
allow
lesse
,
as
but
50.
or
100
or
150
at
the
most
,
But
in
both
these
there
are
extreamities
;
&
as
250
,
300
and
500
are
more
then
any
priuate
man
can
well
gouerne
,
for
neither
can
his
eye
or
voice
extend
either
to
instruction
or
correction
,
the
front
will
be
so
dilated
and
spread
,
for
500
:
men
must
euer
carry
50
:
in
brest
;
so
likewise
the
number
of
50
:
in
the
whole
body
is
too
few
and
neither
sorteth
with
dicipline
,
nor
is
an
equall
aduancment
for
a
well
deseruing
Captain
;
for
if
the
Captaine
of
100
:
men
haue
but
4s
per
diem
entertinement
,
then
the
Ceptaine
of
50
:
can
expect
but
2s
per
diem
which
is
to
little
eyther
to
support
his
place
,
or
maintaine
the
Ranke
where
vnto
he
is
called
.
It
is
true
that
the
ancient
Romans
allowed
their
Captaines
but
100
:
The
Romans
rule
for
companies
.
and
ther
vpon
called
them
Centurions
,
and
it
is
true
also
that
this
is
an
wholsome
preportion
both
in
respect
of
the
entertainement
,
and
easinesse
of
gouernement
,
and
the
forme
of
the
Body
,
which
being
a
true
square
they
are
euer
most
ready
and
proper
for
the
forming
and
fashioning
of
any
grosse
body
or
Battell
what
soeuer
;
but
notwithstanding
the
aptnesse
and
readinesse
of
this
body
;
yet
the
necessity
of
affaires
;
the
diligence
and
desert
of
well
deseruing
Spirits
compells
our
Generalls
to
allow
other
numbers
,
and
as
100
men
is
thought
sufficient
for
a
Captaine
at
his
first
begining
,
so
an
150
,
or
200
men
to
him
that
hath
excellently
deserued
is
but
a
competent
aduancement
and
by
the
ayd
of
sufficient
Officers
may
be
gouerned
and
instructed
in
all
perfecton
,
but
to
exceede
this
number
of
200
:
there
will
be
euer
errour
found
and
aduancement
will
proue
an
hurt
and
Burthen
.
The
true
composition
of
a
Companie
Sure
then
it
must
fall
out
in
the
Conclusion
that
200
men
is
the
only
perfect
number
whereon
to
compound
a
priuate
company
:
I
will
therefore
take
that
number
in
hand
and
shew
you
the
seuerall
Imbattalings
or
formes
of
Battaile
wherevnto
they
can
be
reducted
:
wherein
you
are
first
to
conceiue
that
(
according
to
our
present
discipline
,
this
number
of
200
:
men
is
deuided
into
two
bodies
equall
,
or
two
distinct
and
seuerall
weapons
,
that
is
to
say
,
100
:
Pyks
,
and
100
Shott
or
Muskets
:
the
Pyks
I
doe
expresse
vnder
this
carracter
(

and
the
Shott
or
Musquetts
vnder
this
carracter
:

The
First

Company
of

:
The
First
Imbattaling
of
200.
men
is
to
draw
them
into
a
forme
or
kind
of
Square
Body
,
according
to
the
forme
of
this
figure
following
.
The
First
Forme
of
Imbattalling
of
two
hundred
men
.
This
Battayll
you
see
allmost
drawne
to
a
Square
by
reason
of
the
distance
,
for
it
is
to
be
supposed
,
that
now
this
body
standeth
at
order
in
Files
,
which
is
three
foote
;
and
at
open
order
in
Rankes
,
which
is
Sixe
foote
:
and
so
by
extending
the
length
the
file
is
made
as
large
as
the
front
;
and
of
all
Battailes
this
is
the
strongest
and
the
best
,
being
ablest
to
bring
most
hands
to
fight
without
disorder
and
the
soonest
repaired
and
amended
whensoeuer
it
shall
come
to
any
ruine
,
for
now
it
standeth
ready
for
all
motions
what
soeuer
.
There
is
an
other
manner
of
Imbattailing
of
this
number
,
when
they
shall
encounter
with
a
Troope
of
Horse
,
the
order
and
proportion
whereof
is
Contained
in
this
figure
following
:
The
second
forme
of
Imbattailing
being
against
Horse
.
Here
in
this
Bataile
you
see
how
the
ranks
of
Shott
are
drawne
within
the
Ranks
of
Pikes
and
so
couered
and
safeguarded
that
the
Horsemen
cannot
charge
or
breake
vpon
,
or
through
them
,
but
with
most
eminent
and
certaine
danger
,
for
the
vollyes
lie
rrady
prepard
,
and
the
Pykes
stand
so
that
they
cannot
be
enforced
to
any
rout
or
disorder
;
And
here
you
shall
take
a
principall
obseruation
;
that
if
the
horse
which
shall
charge
this
Battell
of
foote
be
Gentlemen
at
Armes
,
Armed
Cap
a
pe
:
from
head
to
foote
;
with
strong
Launces
in
their
hands
and
Pistolls
at
the
Saddle
bow
;
and
the
Horse
Armed
also
both
with
defensiue
&
offensiue
Armor
,
then
shall
all
the
Pikes
charge
at
the
right
foote
and
draw
their
swords
ouer
arme
,
euery
man
with
his
former
foote
linking
in
his
leaders
hinder
foote
;
But
if
the
Horse
be
but
Curashieirs
Armed
from
the
head
to
knee
,
with
long
Pystols
and
vnarmed
Horses
,
then
shall
all
the
Pykes
charge
aboue
hand
,
and
not
at
the
right
foote
,
and
shall
also
aduance
forward
in
their
charge
and
offer
to
encounter
with
the
Horse
,
for
their
strength
is
such
that
it
cannot
be
broken
by
vnarmed
Horses
,
nor
can
they
be
ruin'd
but
by
the
vtter
losse
of
the
Horse
Troope
,
Now
for
the
manner
of
the
Salley
of
this
inclosed
Shotte
,
and
how
they
shall
giue
their
volley
,
to
the
most
anoiance
of
the
enemy
,
you
shall
perceiue
it
in
the
forme
of
this
next
figure
following
.
The
manuer
of
gining
Volleis
against
the
Horse
.
Heere
you
see
that
in
this
Salley
or
giuing
of
the
volly
against
the
horse
,
one
halfe
of
the
Musquets
(
vpon
the
first
appearance
or
approch
of
the
Troope
and
before
they
come
within
distance
to
deliuer
their
pistols
)
Issueth
fourth
by
the
flanke
,
which
by
wheele
or
otherwise
,
by
turning
of
faces
you
shall
euer
make
the
front
,
and
being
aduanced
some
small
distance
they
presently
spread
foorth
themselues
into
one
single
file
,
and
so
deliuer
their
volly
alltogeather
,
whilst
the
other
haulfe
of
the
Shotte
ascend
into
their
places
,
and
make
ready
,
then
that
parte
of
the
Shot
which
did
Issue
foorth
,
and
haue
giuen
their
volly
,
shall
with
all
conuenient
speede
retire
themselues
againe
betwene
the
rankes
,
and
Passe
behind
the
Shot
which
filleth
their
roomes
and
there
lade
thire
Musquets
againe
;
whilest
the
Pikes
charge
either
to
the
right
foote
,
or
alloft
according
to
the
nature
of
the
Horse
Troope
which
chargeth
them
;
then
the
Horse
wheeling
about
to
recouer
the
second
Pistoll
the
other
halfe
of
the
Shotte
shall
Issue
out
and
deliuer
their
volly
as
the
former
.
Now
if
the
Horse
Troope
shall
happen
to
deuide
it selfe
and
so
charge
the
foote
Battell
on
both
sides
,
or
if
they
shall
range
themselues
and
charge
euery
way
,
both
before
,
behind
,
and
on
both
sides
,
then
shall
the
Shotte
Issue
out
both
wayes
and
girdle
the
Battaille
round
about
,
according
to
the
forme
and
fashion
of
this
figure
following
.
Volleis
when
the
foote
Battaile
is
charged
euery
way
.
Thus
you
see
the
Shotte
issueth
fourth
equally
on
on
both
sides
,
and
girdleth
the
foote
Battalia
round
about
,
so
that
the
volly
is
giuen
entirely
and
without
impeachment
or
trouble
one
of
another
,
whereas
to
shoote
ouer
one
anothers
Shoulder
or
by
making
the
First
man
kneele
,
the
Second
stoope
,
the
Third
bend
his
body
,
the
Fourth
leane
forward
,
and
the
Fifte
to
stand
vpright
,
and
so
to
deliuer
their
volly
were
both
rude
and
disorderly
,
bringing
great
danger
to
the
Souldier
,
and
placing
them
in
such
a
lame
and
vncomely
Posture
,
that
all
Agillity
and
aptnesse
to
doe
seruice
would
be
taken
away
and
the
enemy
taking
aduantage
thereof
would
be
much
more
ready
and
apte
to
breake
in
vpon
them
and
driue
them
to
rout
and
confusion
.
There
is
an
other
forme
of
Imbattaling
this
company
of
200
men
,
and
it
is
excellent
either
against
foote
or
Horse
,
&
hath
so
many
seuerall
waies
to
fight
,
and
that
with
such
strength
and
safety
,
that
on
which
hand
soeuer
the
Battaile
shall
be
assailed
,
yet
it
will
stand
impregnable
,
the
Shot
so
seconding
the
Pikes
,
and
the
Pikes
so
garding
the
Shot
that
euery
way
it
will
giue
a
certaine
and
Infallibe
repulse
vnto
the
enemy
.
This
Battaile
is
a
square
Battaile
as
the
rest
before
shewed
;
yet
it
is
compounded
of
diuers
squares
or
Maniples
,
which
amongst
the
best
experienced
Souldiers
is
held
the
best
and
safest
way
of
fighting
,
the
forme
of
which
Battaile
is
contained
in
this
figure
following
.
The
Imbattelling
of
many
Squares
in
one
Square
.
Heere
you
see
eight
seuerall
squares
brought
into
one
square
,
and
the
ninth
reserued
voyd
for
the
entertainement
of
the
Ensigne
,
&
such
short
weapons
as
shall
attend
it
,
which
howsoeuer
they
be
out
of
vse
,
in
the
Low-Countries
,
where
groose
Bodies
,
seldome
or
neuer
Ioyne
,
yet
with
vs
,
where
hand
Battaile
must
continually
be
expected
,
they
are
not
vnnecessary
,
nor
to
be
neglected
.
This
forme
of
Battaile
carrieth
the
front
euery
way
,
and
vpon
the
allteration
of
the
face
,
is
ready
to
receiue
the
charge
foure
seuerall
wayes
at
once
,
with
equall
strength
and
oppositions
;
for
euery
square
is
a
seuerall
Manuple
,
and
one
so
answering
to
another
that
nothing
but
multitudes
can
subdue
it
.
There
is
againe
another
forme
of
Imbattailling
these
200
:
men
,
which
howsoeuer
it
carry
an
imaginary
face
of
weaknesse
,
yet
it
is
strong
and
substantiall
,
and
was
indeede
inuented
through
the
false
shew
,
to
draw
and
bring
the
enemy
on
,
who
being
once
ingadged
,
in
the
open
and
weake
places
,
the
Maniples
or
small
squares
,
at
an
instant
retire
,
and
Ioyne
them selues
togeather
so
strongly
,
that
it
is
impossible
for
the
enemy
to
come
off
without
great
losse
or
vtter
subuersion
.
This
Battaile
(
as
the
former
)
is
compounded
of
nine
squares
fullfilled
and
supplied
,
and
of
sixe
empty
and
vnsupplied
,
which
may
draw
on
,
and
intice
the
enemy
to
charge
;
but
afterward
by
closing
and
Ioining
together
,
frustrateth
that
hope
,
and
leaues
the
euent
to
the
hazard
of
fortune
.
The
forme
of
this
politike
and
deceiuing
Battaile
is
expressd
in
this
figure
following
.
The
Politique
,
or
deceiuing
Battaile
.
Heere
you
see
that
though
these
empty
places
in
the
Battaile
are
reserued
,
whereby
to
entice
the
enemy
;
yet
they
are
so
slanked
on
either
hand
and
before
,
both
with
Pikes
and
Shotte
,
that
no
approach
can
be
made
without
danger
:
no
if
the
Horse
should
attempt
to
charge
and
breake
in
,
thinking
to
cut
the
Shot
from
the
Pikes
as
in
outward
shew
it
seemeth
likely
;
yet
haue
the
Shotte
such
safe
and
seuerall
places
to
retire
into
,
and
the
Pikes
standing
so
apt
and
ready
to
couer
and
entertaine
them
,
that
the
assault
is
to
no
purpose
,
and
the
Battaile
standeth
still
stronger
and
stronger
.
The
difference
betwixt
this
Battaile
and
the
former
is
only
the
breach
and
seperation
of
Manuples
,
which
being
aduanced
one
from
another
(
yet
within
the
distance
of
guard
)
haue
more
liberty
to
fight
,
and
may
alter
their
proportions
,
or
distances
,
as
they
please
.
There
is
another
forme
of
imbattailing
these
200
men
,
and
it
is
principally
vsed
against
the
Horse
,
especially
,
when
they
charge
in
the
forme
of
a
wedge
,
or
Triangular
,
of
which
wedge
I
haue
spoken
more
largely
in
the
former
part
of
this
Grammer
,
and
this
Battaile
also
is
drawne
from
a
maine
square
,
onely
the
weapons
are
altered
,
and
the
opposition
of
the
Pikes
are
made
strongest
in
the
bottome
of
the
Battaile
;
This
Battaile
was
of
greate
vse
amongst
the
Grecians
before
fire
or
powder
was
knowne
,
and
many
famous
votaries
,
and
Triumphs
gotten
by
the
vse
thereof
,
and
therefore
hauing
now
fire
and
Shotte
to
assist
the
naturall
strength
thereof
,
it
must
needes
be
more
acceptable
and
worthier
of
imitation
.
This
Battaile
is
drawne
by
diuision
betweene
the
Middle
men
to
the
front
,
and
the
Middlemen
to
the
reare
,
and
betweene
the
Middle
men
to
the
right
flanke
,
and
the
Middle
men
to
the
left
,
leauing
the
Shotte
within
the
Pikes
,
in
such
manner
,
that
vpon
all
assaults
they
may
haue
free
vse
of
their
Armes
;
and
yet
notwithstanding
abide
in
safety
in
dispight
of
the
enemy
.
The
forme
of
this
Battaile
is
expressed
in
the
next
figure
following
.
The
Battaile
to
withstand
the
wedge
of
Horse
.
Thus
you
see
how
this
Bataile
is
interlined
with
the
Shot
,
&
guarded
with
the
Pikes
,
so
that
although
there
be
a
field
of
entrance
,
yet
it
is
a
straight
place
of
much
danger
;
and
howsoeuer
the
enemy
may
come
on
bouldly
,
yet
he
cannot
but
returne
heauily
.
Many
other
sorts
of
imbatialing
there
are
,
though
none
more
necessary
,
as
the
battaile
called
Diamond
,
the
Battaile
Triangular
,
and
such
like
;
which
Noueltie
(
I
know
)
is
desirous
to
search
into
;
and
the
proportions
I
know
at
the
first
,
carry
a
greate
shew
of
much
skill
,
and
counning
,
especially
to
the
ignorant
,
but
being
once
waded
into
with
Iudgement
,
there
is
nothing
more
facile
or
easie
:
therefore
to
draw
a
Diamond
Battaile
,
first
drawe
your
battaile
into
a
square
,
according
to
the
first
figure
in
this
booke
;
or
for
your
better
remembrance
,
according
to
this
figure
following
which
being
but
compounded
of
144
men
;
may
serue
to
expresse
the
manner
and
fashioning
of
4000.
The
Square
Battaile
,
whereof
to
frame
a
Diamond
.
Heere
you
behould
the
square
or
forme
of
a
Battalia
,
now
to
reduce
this
to
a
Diamond
,
or
imperfect
square
,
the
Captaine
shall
come
to
the
leader
of
the
right
hand
file
,
(
which
is
the
first
and
principall
man
of
the
company
)
and
aduancing
before
him
,
shall
wheele
the
whole
company
into
a
direct
line
,
with
the
right
point
foreward
,
and
the
left
point
descending
,
as
in
this
figure
following
.
The
Diamond
Battaile
:
Heere
you
see
that
by
drawing
foorth
of
the
Battaile
,
howsoeuer
square
at
the
first
,
yet
by
alteration
of
distance
,
it
is
brought
into
a
perfect
Diamond
forme
;
and
although
the
Pikes
and
Shotte
keepe
their
places
,
as
in
the
square
,
yet
at
your
pleasure
you
may
change
them
,
and
draw
the
weapons
to
what
part
of
the
Battaile
,
and
into
what
files
your selfe
pleaseth
.
Now
to
bring
this
Diamond
or
any
other
Diamond
into
a
perfect
Triangular
:
you
shall
cut
off
the
Diamond
Battaile
in
the
Middest
,
through
the
two
midle
extreame
parts
,
and
then
will
remaine
vnto
you
two
Triangulars
,
a
greater
and
a
lesse
,
which
you
may
double
or
encrease
,
as
you
shall
finde
occasion
;
so
that
albeit
by
this
diuision
you
find
how
to
make
this
proportion
,
yet
perceiueing
how
you
may
double
and
encrease
both
the
files
and
rankes
,
(
whose
number
is
euer
constant
and
certaine
,
according
to
the
proportion
of
the
Triangle
)
you
may
at
pleasure
without
any
diuision
or
seperation
of
body
,
forme
this
Triangle
,
out
of
the
files
and
rankes
onely
.
But
because
you
shall
not
stand
amazed
at
this
businesse
,
I
will
in
a
few
Charracters
,
containe
but
a
fewe
men
(
which
is
the
easiest
for
capasity
)
shew
you
how
to
bring
a
Diamond
to
a
Triangle
,
as
in
this
figure
following
appeareth
.
A
Diamond
Battaile
brought
into
a
Triangle
.
Thus
you
see
the
Diamond
is
cut
into
two
Triangles
which
being
ledde
seuerall
wayes
may
serue
as
two
Bodies
,
and
that
to
exceeding
good
,
and
honorable
purpose
,
for
this
Diamond
,
or
sharpe
piercing
body
,
is
of
great
force
to
enter
and
breake
any
square
body
,
and
being
but
entered
in
with
the
point
,
the
rest
of
the
body
followeth
with
such
order
and
strength
,
and
so
encreaseth
and
maketh
the
Breach
greater
,
and
greater
,
that
the
square
body
can
hardly
ioyne
together
againe
,
but
falleth
into
rout
,
or
into
a
retrait
that
is
full
as
dishonorable
,
and
to
this
purpose
was
this
Diamond
foote
battaile
first
of
all
inuented
.
There
is
againe
another
manner
of
imbattailing
this
priuate
company
of
200
,
which
howsoeuer
it
be
seldome
or
neuer
vsed
in
fight
,
yet
it
is
of
excellent
vse
in
the
field
,
both
before
the
framing
of
the
battaile
,
&
after
the
battell
is
framed
,
this
manner
of
imbatailing
,
is
when
either
any
of
the
Captaines
officers
would
deliuer
a
priuate
message
to
the
company
,
which
none
but
themselues
should
heare
,
or
when
the
Captaine
himselfe
,
would
either
giue
secret
directions
,
or
imparte
matter
of
instruction
,
or
matter
of
reprehension
,
or
when
any
other
supreame
officer
of
the
field
,
would
deliuer
to
the
company
either
encouragement
or
caution
.
The
manner
of
this
imbattailing
is
in
this
wise
,
the
Captaine
shall
first
cause
both
the
wings
of
Shot
to
stand
still
,
hauing
drawne
them
vp
into
their
close
order
,
then
he
shall
aduance
the
first
diuision
of
Pikes
vpward
,
till
the
midle
men
of
the
Pikes
to
the
reare
be
equall
with
the
two
first
ranks
of
Shotte
,
and
euery
man
in
his
close
order
,
then
shall
the
Subdiuision
turne
their
faces
about
and
descend
downeward
,
till
the
middle
men
of
the
front
be
equall
with
the
two
last
rankes
of
Shot
,
then
hauing
closed
all
strongly
together
,
and
turned
euery
face
vpon
the
Center
:
The
Captaine
,
Lieutenant
,
Ensigne
,
and
such
other
Officers
,
as
he
will
haue
partakers
of
his
speech
,
shall
come
into
the
square
void
place
of
the
Battaile
,
and
there
deliuer
what
seemeth
good
to
himselfe
;
which
finished
,
he
shall
reduce
his
Battaile
backe
into
its
first
forme
,
as
for
the
shape
of
Imbattelling
for
Parley
,
it
will
carry
the
proportion
of
this
Figure
following
.
The
forme
of
Imbattailing
for
Speech
or
Parley
.
There
be
others
which
Imbattaile
for
speech
or
Parly
much
after
this
manner
aforesaid
,
onely
they
straighten
or
make
lesse
the
empty
or
void
place
in
the
midst
,
by
making
the
Shotte
first
to
double
their
ranks
,
then
the
first
diuision
of
Pikes
to
aduance
vpward
,
and
the
subdiuision
of
Pikes
to
desscend
downeward
,
and
afterward
to
doe
in
all
things
as
before
,
and
then
the
forme
of
battaile
will
bee
like
this
figure
following
.
Another
forme
of
Imbattailing
for
Speech
or
Parley
.
In
this
forme
of
imbattailing
though
the
center
be
straightned
,
yet
the
outward
verge
of
the
battaile
is
enlarged
,
so
that
though
som
doe
heare
and
vnderstand
better
,
yet
many
shall
not
heare
nor
vnderstand
at
all
,
but
must
receiue
the
speech
by
relation
;
so
that
I
conclude
the
first
forme
of
Imbattailing
for
speech
or
parly
is
the
best
,
easiest
and
safest
,
yet
I
stand
not
vpon
mine
owne
iudgement
,
but
submit
to
the
censure
of
the
old
and
experienced
Soldiers
.
Diuers
other
formes
of
imbattailing
there
be
for
a
priuate
company
of
200
men
,
as
the
Ring
,
the
Halfe-moone
;
the
Spurre
,
and
the
like
,
but
because
I
haue
heard
them
mightelie
condemned
by
the
noblest
Souldiers
of
our
age
,
and
men
of
high
respect
and
reuerence
,
affirming
them
rather
to
leade
into
rout
and
disorder
then
any
way
to
strentghen
and
better
the
Battalia
,
therefore
I
dare
not
giue
rules
or
prescriptions
for
them
,
but
referre
such
as
are
desirous
to
learne
and
behold
them
,
to
any
Ignorant
and
vnskillfull
teacher
,
and
he
shall
spend
howres
and
daies
onely
in
these
Motions
,
not
knowing
otherwise
how
to
wast
time
,
or
make
the
vulgar
people
to
wonder
.
And
thus
much
touching
the
imbattailings
of
a
priuate
company
of
200
men
,
or
any
other
inferior
number
.

The
seuerall
Imbattailings
of
a
Regiment
of
one
thousand
men
or
more
.
Disputation
growne
about
Imbatailings
TOuching
the
imbattailing
of
a
Regiment
of
1000
men
or
more
,
there
is
now
at
this
instant
time
great
argument
and
disputation
among
Souldiers
;
Some
being
of
great
experience
and
knowledge
,
Some
of
greater
reputation
then
knowledge
,
Some
seeming
to
know
more
then
they
doe
know
,
and
Some
out
of
affection
to
other
mens
singularity
,
or
to
hold
an
opposite
contention
,
whereby
to
get
a
note
or
name
of
much
iudgement
.
The
New
and
latter
forme
of
Imbattailing
a
Regiment
.
You
must
first
vnderstand
that
this
difference
groweth
betweene
the
old
Souldier
and
the
new
Souldier
,
Betweene
whom
the
difference
is
,
that
is
betweene
those
of
old
and
sollide
experience
,
and
those
of
late
and
more
quainte
practise
;
The
first
hauing
nothing
but
what
the
warre
it selfe
informeth
,
the
other
the
helpe
of
Garden
,
Yarde
,
Citty
,
Home
,
and
Countrey
trialls
.
To
come
then
to
the
difference
it selfe
,
The
opinion
of
the
new
Souldiers
the
newe
and
latter
Souldiers
would
haue
a
regiment
when
it
is
drawne
into
the
field
to
be
compounded
of
the
seuerall
companies
distinctly
one
by
another
,
without
any
alteration
,
euery
Captaine
and
officer
gouerning
his
owne
company
and
not
to
make
any
mixture
of
them
at
all
,
onely
to
ioine
and
fixe
them
together
into
one
body
according
to
the
forme
of
this
figure
following
.
Heere
the
Figure
.
Heere
you
see
how
the
Colonell
,
Lieutenant
Colonell
,
Sergeant-Maior
and
the
rest
of
the
Inferior
Captaines
Ioyne
their
companies
togeather
without
mixture
according
to
the
dignity
of
their
places
making
one
entire
and
sollide
body
,
of
Shotte
and
Pikes
,
Shotte
and
pikes
quite
through
the
regiment
,
which
regiment
containe
:
1000
men
is
deuided
thus
.
The
numbers
commanded
.
The
Colonell
according
to
greatnes
of
his
command
,
commandeth
●00
men
,
the
Lieutenant
Colonell
150
,
and
the
Sergeant
Maior
.
150
,
and
the
fiue
other
inferiour
Captaines
command
either
of
them
100
men
,
and
thus
the
1000
men
,
are
Marshalled
and
gouerned
.
The
opinion
of
the
old
Souldiers
Now
the
older
experienced
Souldiers
differ
from
this
manner
of
discipline
,
and
though
they
vary
not
in
the
number
or
command
,
yet
they
stand
farre
aloofe
from
the
whole
matter
of
composition
,
for
they
will
not
allow
to
draw
vp
regiments
by
entire
and
whole
companies
without
alteration
,
but
first
draw
vp
all
the
Pikes
into
one
body
,
then
the
Shotte
into
another
,
and
after
diuiding
the
Shot
into
two
equall
parts
,
wing
or
flanke
,
the
pikes
on
either
hand
,
and
so
make
one
whole
and
entire
battell
of
Shotte
and
Pikes
,
and
not
a
mixte
body
of
Shotte
and
Pikes
in
small
manuples
,
but
rather
keepe
the
regiment
in
one
great
and
vniforme
body
according
to
the
preportion
of
this
figure
following
.
Heere
the
Figure
.
Heere
you
see
the
battaile
of
Pikes
is
drawne
all
into
one
body
,
and
the
Shotte
on
either
hand
,
yet
euery
officer
hath
preheminence
of
place
according
to
his
dignity
,
and
many
inferiour
officers
aduanced
and
Imploied
,
which
are
extrauegant
in
the
former
battaile
:
The
olde
ancient
forme
of
Imbattailing
a
Regiment
.
They
are
the
soonest
reduced
to
their
first
forme
when
they
are
put
into
route
,
and
the
Shotte
and
Piks
being
thus
intermixt
one
with
another
,
the
one
offending
,
the
other
defending
,
the
battaile
is
of
great
force
,
and
more
terrible
to
the
enemy
.
Lastely
,
in
a
battaile
thus
compounded
,
euery
man
hath
the
order
or
gouernement
of
his
owne
Souldiers
,
who
are
trained
to
his
discipline
,
and
vnderstand
his
commands
,
by
which
they
are
made
more
willing
to
goe
on
,
and
doe
obay
with
greater
Courage
and
allacrity
,
then
when
they
are
lead
by
a
stranger
,
as
in
the
other
battell
perforce
they
must
be
;
these
and
many
other
like
reasons
,
the
younger
Souldiers
yeeld
to
make
good
this
new
opinion
,
and
I
must
confesse
they
carry
a
greete
shew
of
substantiall
truth
,
did
not
some
impediment
crosse
in
the
way
,
which
take
from
them
a
great
parte
of
beleefe
and
credit
,
for
to
these
Reasons
,
thus
the
old
Souldiers
reply
.
That
true
it
is
,
The
old
Soldiers
reasons
for
their
opinions
.
this
forme
of
imbattailing
is
good
and
may
passe
for
courant
,
as
long
as
companies
are
in
their
full
strength
,
and
hold
their
perfect
and
true
number
,
but
to
that
the
warre
is
a
knowne
enemy
,
and
who
knowes
not
that
sicknesse
,
mortality
,
slaughter
,
ill
diet
and
lodging
,
hunger
,
cold
and
surfeites
doe
so
attend
vpon
Armies
,
that
by
them
commpanies
are
exceedingly
weakned
and
made
lesse
,
so
that
he
which
mustereth
one
hundred
men
if
he
bring
three
score
and
ten
able
men
into
the
field
to
fight
,
is
oft
held
for
a
stronge
company
,
and
so
in
like
case
of
other
numbers
,
so
that
to
imbattaile
these
by
themselues
,
being
of
so
small
contents
,
neither
can
the
volly
be
greate
,
nor
the
harme
dangerous
which
shall
insue
to
the
enemy
,
whereas
the
seuerall
weapons
of
these
small
bodies
,
being
drawne
out
and
knitte
into
seuerall
great
bodies
,
the
numbees
will
swell
and
increase
,
and
as
of
vnits
are
made
infinits
,
so
forty
of
my
Shotte
ioined
to
forty
of
an
other
mans
,
and
to
vs
sixe-score
of
two
or
three
other
Captaines
,
will
make
200
Shotte
,
this
will
bring
foorth
a
great
volly
,
and
this
will
proue
of
great
danger
to
the
enemy
.
Againe
for
the
easinesse
of
gouernement
,
or
speedy
reducing
them
to
their
first
forme
,
being
routed
,
they
haue
no
aduantage
of
this
other
great
body
,
for
howsoeuer
the
Shotte
is
in
two
bodies
,
as
the
other
former
mixt
battaile
is
in
sixteene
,
&
the
Piks
in
one
body
as
the
other
is
in
eight
,
yet
are
these
great
bodies
diuided
into
so
small
diuisions
,
and
ledde
by
such
sufficient
officers
,
that
no
disorder
can
happen
,
but
it
is
as
soone
brought
againe
into
forme
,
as
if
they
had
their
owne
Commanders
,
and
one
of
the
great
vollies
will
doe
more
hurt
and
spoile
,
then
foure
of
the
smaller
.
Lastly
for
the
Imagination
of
more
ready
obedience
,
better
vnderstanding
of
command
,
and
a
greater
willingnesse
to
discharge
duty
,
the
old
Soldiers
suppose
they
are
no
necessary
obstacles
to
be
thrust
in
into
this
place
,
because
the
discipline
of
warre
being
(
as
it
ought
to
be
)
all
of
one
forme
and
manner
,
without
intrusion
of
new
words
of
command
,
or
addition
of
curious
nouelties
,
so
that
euery
officer
speaking
a
knowne
and
a
certaine
language
,
it
matters
not
who
giues
the
word
,
for
being
vnderstoode
it
must
be
performed
,
and
that
they
will
fight
more
willingly
with
their
owne
Captaines
then
with
other
men
,
the
naturall
aleageance
they
beare
to
their
king
and
Country
,
whose
quarrell
they
fight
,
puts
all
such
doubts
out
of
question
,
because
euery
honest
and
valiant
mans
conscience
is
ruled
by
the
iustnesse
of
his
cause
,
and
his
Kings
commandment
,
and
all
other
heats
are
supernaturall
,
and
but
the
proofes
of
false
vallonre
.
Thus
the
old
Souldier
answereth
to
what
the
young
Souldier
doth
obiect
,
Other
Reasons
.
and
for
a
conclusion
addeth
this
more
,
to
withstand
this
new
manner
of
imbattailing
.
They
say
that
this
mixing
of
Shotte
and
Pikes
together
in
seuerall
distinct
Companies
,
weakneth
and
disableth
the
grosse
body
;
for
here
if
you
cast
off
your
shott
,
then
you
leaue
such
emptie
and
wide
streetes
,
that
the
enemies
Horse
are
apt
to
breake
in
and
disorder
them
,
or
if
you
doe
not
cast
off
the
Shott
,
but
keepe
them
close
,
and
make
them
discharge
in
Countermarch
(
which
is
the
best
and
safest
way
)
yet
then
they
are
apt
to
be
thronged
vp
together
by
the
Pikes
,
and
the
distance
of
place
being
taken
from
them
,
the
vse
of
their
Weapons
must
fall
,
and
so
consequently
all
things
fall
to
ruine
.
But
suppose
order
be
kept
and
these
defects
not
found
in
the
Battaile
,
yet
say
the
olde
Souldiers
,
that
there
is
great
impediment
in
this
kinde
of
Imbattelling
;
for
in
what
manner
soeuer
the
Short
serue
,
yet
they
will
euer
leaue
a
weakenesse
in
the
and
such
open
gaps
and
streets
that
the
Horse
may
breake
in
at
pleasure
,
or
any
other
new
foote
diuision
may
sally
foorth
and
ouer
throw
the
whole
regiment
,
as
by
the
example
of
the
figure
following
may
easily
be
perceiued
in
a
few
companies
,
as
in
this
ensuing
figure
more
plainely
is
showne
.
The
danger
of
this
forme
of
Imbatelling
.
Thus
you
see
if
the
Battaile
of
Pikes
stand
,
and
the
Shot
giue
Fire
,
into
what
damage
they
bring
the
whole
Regiment
,
whether
they
serue
in
countermarch
,
or
otherwise
;
leauing
so
many
open
enterances
,
that
if
one
,
yet
all
can
hardly
be
preuented
.
The
Authors
censure
of
both
opinions
.
Thus
I
haue
shewed
you
the
seuerall
wayes
of
Imbattailing
of
a
Regiment
,
with
the
different
opinions
of
Souldiers
,
together
with
their
arguments
and
strength
of
reason
thereupon
.
It
resteth
now
that
I
deliuer
my
particular
opinion
touching
the
best
election
;
wherein
,
although
I
know
,
many
oposites
will
rise
vp
against
me
,
yet
freely
and
ingeniously
thus
I
am
perswaded
.
That
the
first
manner
of
Imbattelling
by
seuerall
Companies
,
The
former
difference
reconciled
and
euery
Captaine
leading
of
his
own
men
,
is
excellent
for
shew
at
generall
Musters
,
or
at
any
peaceful
Triumph
,
where
the
exercise
of
Armes
is
required
,
because
it
is
comly
and
beautifull
to
behold
,
giueth
great
contentment
to
the
spectators
,
and
continueth
the
Volley
long
,
though
not
in
the
best
order
.
But
if
it
be
to
expresse
true
Marshall
Discipline
,
to
bring
hands
to
fight
in
good
sadnes
,
or
to
giue
affright
to
a
certaine
enemy
at
all
times
both
in
strength
and
weaknesse
,
then
with
out
all
doubt
the
latter
forme
of
imbattailing
where
the
Pikes
are
drawne
into
one
body
,
and
winged
on
each
hand
with
the
Shotte
,
is
without
all
contradiction
,
the
onely
best
way
for
the
Imbattailing
of
a
regiment
of
one
thousand
men
or
more
.
And
thus
much
for
the
argument
of
Imbattailing
a
regiment
,
wherein
if
any
man
rest
vnsatisfied
,
let
him
repaire
to
other
Authors
which
are
allowed
for
authority
,
and
comparing
their
Reasons
together
,
no
doubt
but
he
shall
soone
finde
satisfaction
.

Now
for
the
composition
of
a
regiment
,
together
with
the
defects
,
and
perfections
of
the
same
,
I
haue
shewed
sufficiently
in
the
last
Chapter
.
It
now
therefore
resteth
that
I
speake
some
thing
of
the
ioining
or
knitting
togeather
of
many
and
sundry
Regiments
,
in
one
grosse
body
,
which
is
the
greate
substance
of
the
Arte-Military
;
What
is

for
of
these

to
the
forme
and
proportion
thereof
,
being
agreable
with
the
ground
and
strength
of
Scituation
whereon
it
is
placed
,
is
the
Army
made
euer
stronger
or
weaker
.
Now
Armies
doe
neuer
consist
of
one
onely
entire
and
maine
body
alone
,
Of
what
Armies
consist
.
without
seperation
or
distinction
,
but
of
diuers
great
bodies
,
as
of
Forlornes
,
Vantguard
,
Battaile
and
Reare
of
diuers
greate
bodies
of
Horse
,
as
of
Gentlemen
at
Armes
,
Curashiers
,
Dragoones
,
or
else
Carbines
,
and
euery
one
of
these
great
bodies
are
compounded
of
sundry
Regiments
in
the
drawing
of
which
togeather
is
principally
to
be
regarded
the
dignity
and
preheminence
of
the
place
,
How
to
obserue
dignity
of
place
.
according
to
the
vallue
of
the
commanders
,
or
the
lot
when
it
is
either
cast
or
appointed
,
wherein
the
principall
obseruation
is
the
hand
;
so
that
whensoeuer
Regiments
are
to
be
ioined
togeather
,
whether
it
be
by
the
Lord
Marshall
,
or
the
Seriant-Maior
of
the
fielde
,
yet
they
must
not
neglect
to
giue
to
the
best
man
the
best
place
,
by
drawing
vp
his
Regiment
first
,
and
placing
it
in
the
principall
place
,
and
then
the
rest
successiuely
one
after
another
,
bringing
them
vp
on
the
left
hand
,
and
not
on
the
right
,
till
the
body
be
formed
according
to
commandment
and
answerable
to
this
figure
following
.
Regiments
Ioyned
together
in
plaine
Battaile
.
Heere
you
see
5000
men
diuided
into
fiue
regiments
,
how
they
are
drawne
vp
into
one
body
,
and
may
make
either
Vantguard
Battaile
,
or
Reare
as
it
shall
please
the
supreame
Officer
to
dispose
of
them
.
And
as
thus
they
are
drawne
into
plaine
Battaile
,
so
may
they
also
be
drawne
into
any
other
forme
of
battaile
which
the
Lord
Marshall
or
Sergeant-Maior
shall
deuise
,
for
their
wisdomes
and
Iudgements
(
which
they
euer
accomodate
to
the
aduantage
of
the
ground
,
Who
are
to
forme
Battailes
.
&
to
the
preuenting
of
the
enemies
designes
)
is
euer
referred
the
forme
and
shape
of
all
forts
of
battailes
;
whence
it
comes
that
a
man
shall
hardly
in
an
age
,
see
two
Battailes
in
two
seuerall
places
,
of
one
and
the
selfe
same
forme
and
fashion
;
Obseruation
of
grounds
.
because
as
grounds
vary
in
their
Situations
,
so
proportions
change
in
their
composures
,
and
that
battaile
which
is
strong
and
comely
for
the
Plaine
,
will
proue
but
weake
and
illfauored
for
the
Hill
,
and
that
which
is
guarded
with
water
,
will
not
agree
with
the
guard
of
wood
;
nor
that
which
is
fenced
with
a
stone
wall
,
suite
with
the
fence
of
a
dry
ditch
;
for
euery
thing
must
be
accomodated
to
the
property
of
its
owne
proper
Nature
;
and
therefore
I
will
shewe
you
another
forme
of
Imbattailing
or
ioining
of
Regiments
together
,
wherein
although
some
Regiments
are
broken
and
diuided
into
parts
,
yet
they
agree
in
one
vniformity
of
body
,
and
may
be
reduced
to
their
first
naturall
proportion
at
pleasure
:
as
by
this
figure
following
you
may
easily
perceiue
.
Regiments
diuided
,
yet
brought
vnto
Vniforme
.
Here
you
may
behold
two
Regiments
diuided
into
sixe
triangles
,
the
Pikes
in
the
midst
,
and
the
Shotte
on
eache
flanke
,
but
being
drawne
vp
together
in
one
body
,
then
the
Pikes
of
themseues
make
a
perfect
Diamond
,
and
the
foure
Triangles
of
Shotte
guarding
euery
corner
,
Front
,
Wing
and
Reare
,
bring
the
whole
mixt
body
into
a
quadrangle
or
perfeit
square
,
this
is
a
stronge
manner
of
imbattailing
,
and
hardly
to
be
broke
or
entered
;
and
whosoeuer
is
ready
in
drawing
vp
,
and
ioining
of
these
bodies
togeather
in
such
forme
as
hath
beene
already
specified
,
may
without
dificulty
or
staggering
draw
vp
any
other
body
of
what
shape
or
forme
soeuer
it
shall
be
commanded
.
And
thus
much
for
the
ioining
of
sundry

The
forming
of
maine
Battailes
of
any
extent
or
Number
how
great
soeuer
.
AFter
the
ioining
of
Regiments
togeather
,
must
necessarily
follow
the
composition
of
maine
Battailes
,
beyond
which
Spheare
Souldiers
doe
neuer
looke
,
because
it
is
the
end
and
determination
of
warre
,
These
battailes
(
as
I
haue
formerly
shewed
)
are
euer
shaped
according
to
the
ground
whereon
they
are
planted
,
Obseruation
in
shaping
of
battailes
.
and
according
to
the
naturall
deffences
,
or
naturall
offences
which
arise
from
the
same
places
:
yet
because
particulars
often
growe
from
generalities
,
and
that
from
plaine
and
homely
grounds
curious
and
rare
things
are
deriued
.
I
thinke
it
not
amisse
heere
in
this
place
to
deliuer
you
some
generall
and
plaine
moddels
of
battailes
,
which
taken
into
a
Souldier-like
consideration
,
may
giue
you
an
aide
,
though
not
an
instruction
,
how
to
accomodate
battailes
and
to
forme
and
proporrion
them
in
such
manner
as
may
bee
most
commodious
for
your selfe
,
and
friends
,
and
most
hurtfull
and
noisome
for
the
enemy
.
The
composition
of
Battailes
and
the
members
First
then
you
must
vnderstand
that
the
body
of
euery
maine
Battaile
is
compounded
of
sixe
principiall
Members
,
that
is
to
say
,
of
the
Forlorne
or
loose
bodies
,
of
the
Vantguard
,
Battaile
,
Reare
,
Horse
,
and
the
great
Artillery
;
and
of
these
,
if
any
be
imperfect
,
or
out
of
frame
,
either
in
order
,
number
,
shape
or
Gouernment
,
the
whole
Army
is
sicke
,
and
howsoeuer
like
Xerxes
host
they
may
make
the
skie
darke
with
their
Arrowes
,
yet
will
an
handfull
of
Cirus
men
,
well
disciplin'd
,
put
them
to
route
,
and
write
Captiuity
on
their
backs
as
a
perpetuall
embleme
.
How
to
finde
a
square
Roote
.
When
therefore
you
will
drawe
vp
any
maine
battaile
,
you
must
looke
into
the
square
Roote
of
greate
Numbers
,
as
the
square
Roote
of
one
hundred
is
ten
,
because
the
body
carrieth
ten
in
square
euery
way
,
for
ten
times
ten
is
one
hundred
,
so
likewise
the
square
Roote
of
400
is
200
,
because
it
carrieth
the
square
of
200
euery
way
,
for
twenty
times
twenty
is
foure
hundred
,
and
thus
of
any
number
which
will
carry
a
square
proportion
be
it
great
or
little
whatsoeuer
;
Deuiding
of
a
Battaile
.
then
knowing
the
entire
Number
of
the
whole
Army
,
and
diuiding
it
into
seuerall
parts
,
alowing
so
many
for
the
Forlorns
,
so
many
for
the
Vantguard
,
so
many
for
the
Battell
,
so
many
for
the
Reare
,
and
so
many
for
the
guard
of
the
Ordnance
,
or
great
Artillery
;
you
by
the
drawing
vp
of
these
lesser
squares
,
and
inlargening
them
as
occasion
shall
serue
,
forme
and
shape
euery
seuerall
diuision
after
what
proportion
your selfe
pleaseth
,
for
of
squares
,
you
may
make
Rounds
;
of
Rounds
,
Triangles
;
of
Triangles
,
Diamonds
;
and
of
Diamonds
many
other
curious
or
intricate
figures
that
shall
come
into
your
imagination
,
for
proofe
behold
this
figure
following
.
Alteration
of
squares
,
or
squares
in
squares
.
Thus
you
see
by
deuiding
and
mixing
of
squares
,
Of
Forlornes
.
you
may
frame
other
proportions
,
it
resteth
then
that
after
you
haue
cast
out
,
and
alotted
your
Forlorns
which
is
intended
euer
to
be
the
least
of
all
the
foure
Battailes
,
that
you
distribute
them
in
this
manner
:
the
first
point
of
the
Forlorne
ought
to
consist
of
certaine
loose
files
of
Shotte
extrauagantly
dispersed
without
order
,
then
to
second
them
with
certaine
small
squares
of
Shotte
as
an
100
or
200
in
a
square
well
ordered
and
gouerned
which
as
the
Battailes
shall
approach
nearer
and
nearer
,
may
vpon
any
occasion
of
danger
retire
into
the
Vantguard
.
Of
the
vantguard
.
Then
shall
the
Vantguard
be
compounded
of
one
maine
and
entire
body
,
or
of
two
at
the
most
;
containing
almost
,
but
not
fully
three
parts
of
the
Battaile
,
and
being
equally
mixt
of
Shot
and
Pikes
.
Of
the
battel
After
the
Vantguard
,
the
maine
Battaile
taketh
place
,
being
compounded
of
one
body
or
two
at
most
,
and
containing
a
full
third
part
,
or
sometimes
more
then
halfe
as
much
againe
as
the
Vantguard
.
In
this
battaile
ought
to
be
the
choisest
men
and
best
experienced
of
the
Army
,
it
is
the
seate
and
place
of
the
Generall
,
and
as
an
Ocean
sendeth
foorth
his
streames
of
Souldiers
to
releiue
and
refresh
euery
weake
and
distressed
part
that
is
about
it
.
Of
the
Reare
Next
after
the
Battaile
is
the
place
of
the
Reare
which
likewise
is
contained
in
one
body
or
two
at
the
most
.
This
body
ought
to
be
of
equall
number
and
extent
with
the
Vantguard
,
and
in
all
Formes
,
Marches
,
and
Executions
it
is
one
and
the
same
in
Nature
with
the
Vantguard
,
for
at
any
time
when
faces
are
turned
about
then
is
the
Reare
the
Vantgurad
,
&
the
Vantguard
the
Reare
;
at
the
two
points
of
the
Vantgurad
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
vtmost
right
point
and
the
vtmost
left
point
,
as
two
long
extended
wings
,
troopeth
the
Horse
Army
,
The
Horse
battaile
and
the
great
Ordnance
with
the
guard
thereof
.
and
at
the
end
of
them
is
the
great
Ordnance
on
both
sides
;
behind
which
marcheth
two
Regiments
of
foote
for
a
guard
and
defence
of
the
Artillery
and
Munition
;
for
the
cutting
off
of
the
greate
Ordnance
is
the
renownedst
worke
the
enemy
can
aime
at
,
or
accomplish
.
Thus
I
haue
in
words
deliuered
you
the
true
forme
of
a
plaine
and
ordinary
battaile
,
with
euery
seuerall
member
belonging
there
vnto
,
but
for
as
much
as
the
protraicture
maketh
a
deeper
impression
in
the
minde
,
and
is
a
greater
helpe
and
friend
to
the
memory
then
the
meere
relation
of
words
onely
;
I
will
therefore
in
this
next
figure
following
,
shew
you
the
true
portraiture
of
the
battaile
already
discribed
.
The
Wind-Mill
Battaile
.
Thus
heere
you
see
the
strongest
of
Battailes
,
and
as
curious
as
any
what
soeuer
,
so
that
to
make
a
conclusion
of
this
worke
,
who
will
diligently
looke
into
these
models
already
demonstrated
,
and
apply
himselfe
to
the
imitation
thereof
,
shall
not
neede
to
lodge
any
scruples
in
his
brest
,
but
by
the
helpe
of
these
examples
may
be
able
to
range
any
battaile
with
Iudgement
and
sufficiency
.
And
thus
much
for
the
forming
of
maine
Battailes
of
any
extent
or
Number
how
great
soeuer
.
FINIS
