  The first publique lecture, read at Sr. Balthazar Gerbier his accademy, concerning military architecture, or fortifications, to the lovers of virtue, come hither to that purpose.

summary:
  The Scriptures doe in effect in sundry places warrant so much the proceedings of warriours ; that therefore this art of Military Architecture is the more laudable , and to be made use of as well in the defence , as for the besieging of places ; so the prescriptions be duely observed , and that the destruction of Towns and People have those grounds prescribed by holy writ . The Places that are fortified according unto the ancient manner , are those that have single Wals onely , and with Towers at certaine distances , made of Materials that are not capable to resist the Canon ▪ and their Towers being too small as that they cannot beare any Canon ; Those kinde of places deserve not to be said fortified ones : The Modernes are those which are flancked on all sides , and that the flancking and flancked bodies are so solid and of such matter as that they may resist the Canon .

summary:
  The next Motion , whereto foote Companies ought to be applyed , is the Casting off of files , or , as some call it , the Giuing of Fire , by Flanke , or in the Flanke ; and this motion of casting of Files , is done diuers waies ; as first , in Flanke , then in Wing , and lastly , before the Front : If you cast off files in flanke to the Right hand , then the right hand file ( being readie to giue fire ) standeth still , till the Bodie of the Battalia be marcht so far forward , that the Reare , or Bringers vp , become euen with the Leader of the right hand file ; then that file so standing , and prepared , giueth fire altogether ; then presently march vp betwene the outmost file of Pikes , on the right hand , and the inmost file of Shotte ; then the second file of Shotte , as the first , doth stand still , till the Bodie be marched by , and then giue their Volley , and then march vp as they first did , betweene the outmost file of Pikes , and the inmost file of Shotte , as aforesaide ; And thus successiuely , euery file of Shotte giueth their Volley , that are conteyned in that right Wing , which done , wheele the whole Bodie about , and bring the Left Wing , to doe as much as the Right Wing , and so Wing after Wing , according to pleasure ; And this manner of casting of Files in Flanke , is of excellent vse for the beating of Paces in Woods , or Bogges ; also , for the mayntaining of straight and narrow Waies , for defence of Bridges , and the like ; and that you may haue a better vnderstanding therein , behold the figures following . When you haue therefore drawne your Horse Troop into Rankes and Files , which you must doe file after file , till euerie Man be placed according to the order , & not according to the fashiō of our ignorant Commanders , whom I haue heard ( at the first gathering of a Bodie together ) to command the Men to Ranke three , fiue , seuen , or as fancie leades them , for this is most absurde , and vnproper , because Rankes are , and may be of vncertaine Number ; so that ranking at hap hazard , it is almost impossible that the files should fall out euen , whose Number must not be changed ; and so a new worke to begin , which at the first might better haue bene finished .

  Pendennis and all other standing forts dismantled: or, Eight military aphorismes, demonstrating the uselesness, unprofitableness, hurtfulness, and prodigall expensivenes of all standing English forts and garrisons, to the people of England: their inability to protect them from invasions, depredations of enemies or pyrates by sea or land: the great mischiefs, pressures, inconveniences they draw upon the inhabitants, country, and adjacent places in times of open wars, when pretended most usefull: and the grand oversight, mistake, injury in continuing them for the present or furure [sic] reall defence of the peoples lives, liberties, estates, the only ends pretended for them. / Penned by William Prynne of Swainswick, Esquire, during his close imprisonment in Pendennis Castle. And now published for the common benefit, ease, information of the whole nation.

summary:
  ( as if we had stil too much mony in our dry-dra●n●d-Purses ) and to continue them at this grand charge , only because the Island and places near them , might be endangered , if slighted , & their ruins supprised regarrison d by an enemy ( who wil never certainly be so mad or sottish , as to fortifie any slighted Garrisons , unlesse able to defend them against the whole Nation ) is as grosse an absurdity , as to argue ; we must forthwith fortifie , Garrison , all other advantagious Sea-●oasts , Rocks , Hills , ●asses in England , because else any Enemy might master , seise and fortifie them to the Nations , Peoples danger , damage ; and repair , fortifie all old late demolished Castles , Forts , Block-houses , upon the same reason and accompt , ( which all the Indian Mines would not suffice to Garrison ) 3. That England being subject to the Forraign Invasions , Depredation● of Enemies or Pirates , only by Sea with Ships , which no fixed Land-Garrisons can incounter , assault , board , take , sink , or pursue from place to place , nor hinder from landing under their Noses , if stronger then they ; muchlesse in any other place out of their command ▪ ( as is undeniable by our ancient seising of Cadez and sundry Townes , Garrisons in the Indies by Sir Francis Drak , & others , and our late invading and taking in of the Isles of Silly , Gersey , Ga●nsey , the Barbadoes and Scottish Island● , without the losse of any one Ship , and of very few men , notwithstanding all their Bl●ckhouses , Forts , Garrisons , for to secure them they are altogether useless Prodigalities ; our victorious puissant Navy being the sole , best , sufficient defence against them , and only able to resist , take , sink and surprise them : That England ( as Mr. Cambden and † others write ) being 1836. Yea , our own Garrisons were the principal seats , theaters of all our former and late Wars , epsecially when besieged by either party : Whence a Siege is usually termed Le-Guerre , from the F●ench , that is to say , THE WAR ; because there is no War to speak of , till then : Battels in the Field being fought and ended usually in half a day or lesse , and oft within one hour or two at most ; when as Sieges ( accompanied alwaies with frequent Skirmishes , constant Batteries , sundry Assaults , Sallies , Stormings on all hands , or in some quarter or other ) continue many dayes , weeks , months and yeers , sometimes with far greater danger and losse of men on both sides ; and are usually seconded with many Skirmishes , bloody Battels and incounters of Armies or Parties sent to victual , relieve the besieged , or raise the Siege , occasioning more and greater slaughters then a pitched battel in the Field alone , as all Histories and experience manifest .

  IN this doubling of Files , you may perceive , that each of the even files doubleth into the odde files , beginning from the hand named : as in this doubling of files to the left ; the left hand file stands fast , the second file doubleth into it , the fourth file into the third , and so for the rest . But that you may not be deceived , take this for a rule : that Inversion doth alwaies produce , file , or files ; and Conversion , ranke , or rankes .
