And the selfe same order that ye Sergeant Ma∣ior shall kéepe in all the Tierces, which by him shall be ordained, the other Sergeants shall kéepe among theyr Companye perticularly. For when they shall ordayne, they may knowe the place, that vnto each Companye doth appertaine, either of Vangard or Battaile.
