  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 .
