Center through the Intervals of the Pikes E and then divide them by half files One half File shall advance toward M and the other half File shall stand their ground behind the Pikes E. For the 304 Musquetiers that remain they shall make the two Files that surround the whole Body PLATE V. The way and manner of reducing a Battalion with a void space in the Center YOU begin with the Musquetiers which you command from the Center through the several fronts MPEQ which together with those that surrounded the Body you cause to rank and file themselves as they were As for the Pikes that form the Octogonal Body you give them the following words of Command 1. They that stand in the Angles to your Places O and R. resume their distances and make the same front at Q. The files V and I do the same in respect of P and the files LL observe the same order in regard of the Pikes ME. 2. The twelve files of the right wing and the twelve files of the left wing that doubled Front and Reer stand fast OQR VPT 3. March files of the wings that have received the word of command OQR and VPT move off and march forward Plate IV Fig 1. 5. The Files that marched toward the Center to their places the four small Squares NNNN return to the Front of M. and E. 6. The middle Files stand upon your Guard E. M. 7. The half File of the middle Files half a Turn to the Right M makes a Front towards the same Center 8. File-Leader of the middle Files half a Turn to the Right E makes a Front towards the same Center 9. March middle Files E and M move forward till they come upon the Front CDQ and PAB of the first Figure 10. File-Leader of those that marched half a Turn to the Right E returns to its first Front and the Battalion is reduced Directions for Firing 1. In keeping of Ground This way of Firing may be performed either by two Ranks at a time or three Ranks The first Kneeling and the second Stooping or the two first Stooping or else thus Musketeers make ready all at which time the Musketeers are to be Cocked and Guarded and their Arms strait before them the Pikes Ported and when the Musketeers Present the Pikes are to be charged Then The five first Ranks Kneel The Reer Rank Present Fire Fifth Rank stand up Present Fire Fourth Rank Stand up Present Fire And so of the rest And as they have fired they are to charge again and to be in a readiness against the next Word of Command 2. For Fire gaining Ground the Command is First Rank and Musketeers make ready Halt Then Present and Fire Here they are to recover their Arms without any command and to file off to the Right and Left into the Reer When the first Rank presents the next Rank is to make ready without any Command and as the first Rank files off the next make good the Front and so the Battalion is to March again and every Rank to Fire in this order And when every Rank presents the Pikes are to charge without any command 3. Of Firing to the Front retreating The best way is to Fire by single Ranks in the same method as in gaining Ground only after every Rank has fired and filed off to the Right and Left into the Rear instead of the next Rank advancing to make good the Front of Pikes the Pikes are to retreat to the Musketeers who stand still till the Pikes make an even Front with them PLATE VI. The best Way and Method of Marching an Army in a Flat and Plain Country Plate V. A Regiment of 12 Companies Encamped Officer in Cheif Captains Saba●terns Souldiers Serjeants Muskets Pikes Profile for Trenches Profile for Redoubts All the Companies being drawn up they shall begin to March and must range themselves in Squadrons and Battalions to be afterwards embattel'd in the Ground marked out by the Marshal of the Camp or his Assistants The Marshal of the Camp ought in the first place to be exactly informed of the condition of the Country through which the Army is to march taking his Instructions from the general and particular Maps of the Country or from the Information of the Country People He shall draw up his Men in Battel-Array according as he thinks most convenient or as the General shall have given him Order If it be through a plain and open Country which is convenient for the Cavalry the Artillery and Waggons then let him extend the Wings of the Army and observe the following Order He shall divide his Army into three Bodies that in the middle must consist of three Thirds of the whole Infantry drawn up in great Bodies and Battalions each consisting of two or three Regiments Upon the Wings or Flank of this Infantry must be placed the great Artillery guarded by some Battalion of the Infantry Upon the Right and Left Wing of this middle Line shall the Cavalry march in little Squadrons each consisting of two Cornets The rest of the Infantry marching in little Bodies shall enclose between it and the Cavalry the Baggage and Ammunition of the Army with some Field Pieces as may be observed by the March represented in the Figure PLATE VII Of the March of an Army through an Enemies Country IF there be a Necessity to carry the War into the Enemies Country either to Besiege some place therein or else for the Relief of some place already besieged whether the Enemy be beaten in the Field or whether he still keep the Field to put new Supplies of Men and Provision into the Garrison or hinder Provision from being brought to the Enemies Camp Upon all these Occasions whether he encamp in the Field or Quarter in Villages the General must take care that the Commissary General of the Victuals and the Treasurers at War be diligent and faithful in their Charge in providing and furnishing the Army with Victuals If the Enemy has been routed and be not in a condition to recruit then you may march as in the preceeding Pages whether the Country be open or streighter Plate VI. Plate VIII The Cavalry must be placed upon the Wings in Front and in the Reer of the Bodies The Infantry must march in the middle and in a gross Battalion The Artillery upon one side guarded by some old Regiments as you see in the Plate PLATE VIII General Directions for Encamping an Army WHEN the Camp-Master General or Major-General hath read the Number of the Horse and Foot that are in the Army he must proportion and cast up what space of Ground will suffice to encamp them with all their Provision Carriages and so that neither for due Room the Soldiers be pestered nor by over large Spaces the Camp not sufficiently fortified This being of great Importance it will be requisite for him to understand well Arithmetick and Geometry and to have in readiness sundry Plats and Models and Forms of
