A Gentleman of a company ought to have such worth in him as may make him capa∣ble to be a file-leader, or Captain of his file, and he more especially above the rest ought to be well skill'd in all the postures of such armes he weares, and at convenient times instructing and teaching his file in the neat and gracefull handling of their armes. He ought to be of an undaunted courage and gallant resolution, for the better example and imitation of the rest, whose worth and valour many times indears them so much into the sa∣vour of their Comanders that they raise them up to greater places of preferment. In the Low Countries a Gentleman of a Company hath his full pay, having nothing kept back for after reckonings, as common private souldiers have. At his first entrance he somtimes stands Sentinell to informe himselfe of the duties thereof; but most commonly he is placed to be a Sentinell per-due intime of iminent danger, either in the field or upon approches. He is to lie perdue with his sword and pistoll, not removing from his place till he be relieved, nor is he to retreat for one man, but in case of more, then he is to fall back to the second; and dis∣covering an enemy he is to come off betimes, and silently to give the alarum, whereby the Corps du Guard, or company may be provided for their own defence. A Gentleman of a Company doth many times goe the round with the Captain of the watch, or his fellow Gentlemen who are likewise rounders, either in the field, or in garrison, and doe give the Corporals of the Guards the word, charging the Sentinells to looke well about them. To conclude, he ought truly to love, respect, and obey his Captain, and to stick close unto him, vindicating him upon all just occasions, when he shall be wronged, and injured by any mu∣••••••es of the common souldiers, or others.
