bough or stick aswell in the front as in the reere of the quarter giving also to the Colonell his ground in the midst of his regiment But first the Quattermasters ptikes out the ground before and behinde for the Captaines gives there the bredth of the streete between the Sarjants in the reere of the souldiers huts and their owne as likewise the depth betweene the Captaines boughs the Sutlars huts marking out first the foure angles of his quarter by setting into the ground his quarter staues and flaggs of his Colonels colours The duty of a Sarjant THe quarter being so laid out then the Sarjant of euery Companie kilspits it and divides and makes the partition of the huts to the Gentlemen and souldiers which they prick out by line and small boughs or sticks stock into the ground and so divides the rowes of huts and the streets among them euery hut having some 4 or 5 foote in bredth and for vniformity sake 8 foote deepe and thus the ground for a whole Regiment of what number so ever the Companies be is marked and drawne out in a feild as the figure of a Regiment for 10 Companies before mentioned demonstrates The other quarters to wit for horse officiers ordinance and carriages are marked by number and letter in the campe following The Alarme place THere is left round about the circuit of the whole quarter a parallell on all sides some 200 or 250 foote betweene the front of the quarter and the trench called an Alarme Place for the souldiers to draw out into Armes into Parade or when any Alarme or commotion happens the Campe or quarter being environned with a Trench and a Parapet of six foote high six foote deepe and three foote in the bottome and the ditch 8 foote broade The souldiers of euery Companie are commonly commanded to make this trench parapet and ditch before their quarter or where it may fall on t because it serues for their own defence which the souldiers are to doe for their owne safty without giuing them any mony for it There is assigned by the Quartermasters to euery Regiment how much ground they must cast vp according to the commission and strength of euery company which proportionally is equally divided among the companies that one companie do no more work then an other In doing of which the Captaine and Officers of a companie are to ouersee it that the trench be done well and with expedition Now the whole circūference of the quarter being measured out by line and kilspitted there is a generall calculation made how many Regiments there are in the campe and how many companies each Regiment hath that one may know how many hundred companies there are in the army And then by the rule of 3 knowing the line and circumference and the number of companies say the number of all the Regiments and Compagnies which are to make upe the line of Circumvallation amounts to so many feete or rodes how much ground then must a Regiment of ten companies haue that containes so many men This calculation being made the companies of euery Regiment draw out so many men after the Quartermaster hath furnished them with materials which is quickly done seing the men are relieved and many hands as the proverbe is makes light worke and will make hast that they may haue time to build their own huts and cabins to keepe them vnder covert The quarters being thus fortified and the line of Circumvallation made a double ditch for horses and strong Redoubts Horne-works Crowne-works Batteries Half-moones and Spurs upon the commanding places of most danger as yout shall see in the Ichnographies of the lines of Circumvallation before the siege of the Bosch Mastrick and Breda which shall be shown God willing in my third part of this booke all these things then being done after the demonstration of this Campe we come next to handle approches THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE severall Quarters in this Campe A Is his Excellenties quarter which is 300 foote in depth and 125 in bredth B Is the Lords the States quarter being 300 foote in depth and 342 in bredth C The Generall of the ordinance and Magazin 300 foote in depth and 800 in bredth D The quarter of the Carriages and waggons E The quarter for Marchants Tradsman and Victulars F Mons.

The situation of the Towne or fort to be besieged 2. The propriety and forme of the approach 3. The beginning and distance of them and fourthly their profile 1. For the Site of the place one ought to consider well the propriety and nature thereof whether the ground bee high low hilly or plaine In plaine and even ground one may finde foure kinds of Earth to wit 1.

a Crowne-worke before it and before that as a surplus there was made a Horne-worke all which workes were neverthelesse environned with the line of circumvalation which encompassed the whole Armie for the Enemie could hardly assault the Campe on this side because the hill lay so that it commanded all the grounds about it When there is no River then all necessaries and provisions must be brought to the Campe by waggons wherevpon care must be taken that the waggonmen and Sutlars set not too high a price vpon their provisions and Victuals which might cause a Dearth and scarcity in the Army For the avoyding of stincks and noisome smels the dead Carions of horses and other Beasts ought to be carryed and buryed farre off without the camp and quarters to which order also the Butchers are subiect for the carrying away of the panches and Entrailes of the Cattell which they kill and to bury them in pits without the campe The woods thickers and groves which stand not farre from the campe ought to be taken in within the Trench when it may conveniently be done with asmall charge which wood and timber may serve for firing and other good vses But when they lie too farre of and cannot have all within the Compasse of the line of Circumvalation which may be dammageable to the Campe then they are cut downe and burnt lest an Enemie might lay any Ambuscadoes in them Also having a water or a river which may be stopped by the Beseiged so that in time it might overflow the Campe one ought to take a singular care by hindring it and casting vp of some bank to stop and carry it about the Campe to discharge it self elswhere wich necessity and experience will teach one All these things then being maturely considered and overweighed after one is well informed of the nature and condition of the soile lying about the Towne or Fortresse which is to be beseiged and being come within two or three Durch miles of that place the Quartermaster Generall before the Armie rides out with some 80 100 or a greater number of Horse as necessity may require to view the towne or Fortresse to be beseiged and considers well the soile and grounds that lies about it and draws a draught and platforme of them that he may the better distribute and give out the severall Quarters All Quarters are not alike over all and of one and the same forme but one must accommodate himself many times according to the site of the place for sometimes one must content himself with one Quarter alone and otherwhiles the Campe may be devided into two three foure or many quarters The Forme is also diverse seing one must governe themselves according to the situasion of the place The largnesse must be answerable to the number of the Regiments which are to be Quartered and which shal be handled in the next chapter THE SECOND CHAPTER OE THE DEVISION OF HVTS FOR Officiers Souldiers and Sutlers TOGETHER With the true measure and distances of them according to his Highnesse the Prince of Orange his new Order for a Regiment and for the quartering of the Captaines in the Reere for the preventing of fire and disorders BEfore wee come to the division of the ground appointed for the Quartering of a regiment of foote it will be necessarie to discribe first how much ground commonly a Companie of 120 or of a 150 and of 200 heades must haue which may serue then as a Generall rule in the distribution of the quartering of severall Regiments containing diverse Colours and Companies vnder them First for a Colours of 120 foote there is ordayned three hundred foote deepe But the bredth must be according to the number of the heades in a Company which are some more some lesse For a Company of 100 or 120 heads must take vp 24 foote inbredth that is two rowes of Huts and a street betwixt them a Companie of 150 must haue 40 foote in bredth to wit three rowes of huts and two streetes and a Collonels Companie of 200 heades requires 56 foote in breedth that is foure rowes of Huts and three streetes besides the back streetes which are betweene Companie and Campany As for Example the Quartermaster hath giuen him a Paralellogramma of ground which is 300 foote deepe and 24 foote broade for a Companie of 120 heades which he devides thus from the Lieutenants and Ensignes huts downeward to the Sariants huts in the Reere of the Sariants hutt and the boughs of the Captaines hutt next the Captaine hath allowed him 40 foote in depth and some 20 foote btoad because a passage for the Souldiers must not be stopt vp for him to build in Then betweene the Reere of the Captaines and the Sutlars hutts there is a large streete of 40 foote made for the passage of men and waggons and for feare of fyre And last of all there is 20 foote allowed for the depth of the Sutlars huts to wit ten foote for the forepart of his hutt for eating and drinking in and 10 foote for his Kitchin and this is the distribution for a Companie which must take vp according to the Princes new order three hundred foote in depth The bredth of a Quarter is according to the number of the Heades of a Company In the depth of 180 foote for the two rowes of huts aboue menrioned there may be made in each row twentie or two and twentie Hutts with a distance of two or three foote betweene every Cabin for the avoyding Eues-droppings and a little trench to receiue the Water made betwixt thim The doores of the Lieutenants and Ensignes Cabbins commonly opens towards the Front and the Armes and the Alarme place but the Sariants towardes the Reere The Souldiers doores open opposite one to an other that vpon any occasion they may presently draw out into Armes all which parts shal be discribed in the figure for a Regiment of ten Companies following HIS HIGHNESSE THE PRINCE OF ORANGE his new Order and Forme for Quartering of a Regiment of ten Companies of Foote to wit the Colonels being 200 the Lieutenant Colonels 150 and the Captaines 120 Heads THE DEMONSTRATION A Is the Colonels Hall Gallerie and Pavillion B Are two Hutts for his
