This in the first place is a standing Rule, that the Caval∣ry in Intrench'd Camps is never to be mingled with the In∣fantry, but are to have their Lodgments distinct, else many incommodities would too probably happen.
Therefore for the Lodgment of a Troop of 100 Horse, I would observe this Rule.
The length of the Lodgment of it should be still 300 foot, as that of the foot is; but the Troop should have in breadth 70 foot, whereas the Company had but 24 foot, within which space of 300 foot long, and 70 broad, the Captain, Lieutenant, Cornet, Quartermaster, the three Cor∣porals, the two Trumpets, and all the Troopers, with their Horses, Forage, and Victuallers, are to rest con∣tented.
This quantity of ground is to be divided as follows:
In the Front of the said long Square shall be the Lodg∣ment of the Captain, which shall take up 40 foot of the length of the 300 foot, and 70 foot in breadth, which is to be the whole breadth of the intire Troops Lodgment.
Twenty foot more of the 300 foot in length, shall be al∣lowed for the Street between the Captains Lodgment, and the first Hutts and Stalls of the Troopers, and of their Hor∣ses, 200 foot more out of the length of the 300 foot, shall be wholly for the Troopers Hutts, and their Horses, Stalls, or Stables. There are to be (as in the Lodging of the Foot) no more than two Files of Hutts for the Men, and two Files of Stalls for the Horses.
The Street between the Files of Hutts for the Troopers, is to be 20 foot wide, and 200 foot long.
At the end of which 200 foot, is to be left 20 foot more out of the said 300 foot length, for a Street from the Rear of the Hutts, to the Victuallers Hutts and Cellars, which Street is to be 70 foot in length, being the breadth of the whole Troops Lodgments, the remaining 20 foot of the said 300 in length, is to be for the Victuallers, and Sutt∣lers Hutts, Kitchins, and Cellars, as 'tis in the Lodgment of a Regiment of Foot.
The 20 foot Street 200 foot long, being taken out of the 70 foot wideness of the whole Lodgment for the Troopers, the 25 foot wideness of each side of the Street, is to be disposed as followeth:
