Capitayne of the men of armes, and this lodgyng shall
have onely of space for bredeth xv. yardes, and for
length vii. yardes and a halfe. In the other
xv. lodgynges, that on everie side followeth after
these, even unto the overthwarte way, I would lodge
on everie part a battaile of foote men, whiche beyng
iiii. hundred and fiftie, there will come to a lodgyng
xxx. The other xv. lodgynges, I woulde place
continually on every side on those of the light horse
men, with the verie same spaces, where I woulde lodge
on everie part, an other battaile of fote men, and
in the laste lodgyng, I would place on every parte
the Conestable of the battaile, whiche will come to
joigne with the same of the Capitaine of the lighte
horsemen, with the space of vii. yardes and a halfe
for length, and xv. for bredeth: and so these
two firste orders of lodgynges, shal be halfe of horsemen,
and halfe of footemen. And for that I woulde
(as in the place therof I have tolde you) these horse
menne shoulde be all profitable, and for this havynge
no servauntes whiche in kepyng the horses, or in other
necessarie thynges might helpe them, I woulde that
these footemen, who lodge behynde the horse, should
bee bounde to helpe to provide, and to keepe theim
for their maisters: and for this to bee exempted
from the other doynges of the Campe. The whiche
maner, was observed of the Romanies. Then leavyng
after these lodgynges on everie parte, a space of xxii.
yardes and a halfe, whiche shoulde make awaye, that
shoulde be called the one, the firste waye on the
righte hande, and the other the firste waie on the
lefte hand, I woulde pitche on everie side an other
order of xxxii. double lodgynges, whiche should tourne
their hinder partes the one againste the other with
the verie same spaces, as those that I have tolde
you of, and devided after the sixtenth in the verie
same maner for to make the overthwarte waie, where
I would lodge on every side iiii. battailes of footemen,
with their constables in bothe endes. Then leavyng
on every side an other space of xxii. yardes and a
halfe, that shoulde make a waie, whiche shoulde be
called of the one side, the seconde waie on the right
hande, and on the other syde, the seconde way on the
lefte hande, I would place an other order on everie
side of xxxii. double lodgynges, with the verie same
distance and devisions, where I would lodge on everie
side, other iiii. battailes with their Constables:
and thus the horesemenne and the bandes of the twoo
ordinarie maine battailes, should come to be lodged
in three orders of lodgynges, on the one side of the
capitaine waie, and in three other orders of lodgynges
on the other side of the Capitaine waie. The twoo
aidyng maine battels (for that I cause them to be made
of the verie same nation) I woulde lodge them on everie
parte of these twoo ordinarie maine battailes, with
the very same orders of double lodgynges, pitchyng
first one order of lodgynges, where should lodge halfe
the horsemen, and half the foote men, distance xxii.
