There are two more things on the Drum, somewhat to our purpose, viz.

1. The Tatto or Tapto. This is used in a Rounds and Garisons, to give notice to the Soldiers and Inhabitants when they ought to repair to their Quarters and Houses.

2. Revalley. Is to let them know when it is time to rise in the Morning, and attend on their Duty also.  In Garisons, to let the People know when its safe to go abroad, the out Scouts being Relieved.

The Exercise of Horse in Troops or Squadrons, &c.

The Exercise of the Horse is various from that of the Foot, and therefore that I may not be wanting in what is necessary to the young Soldier in their Exercising in the County Troops, or those that may enter the present Service Abroad, I shall endeavour to give the Words of Command proper with their Explanation.

And first, when Troop or Squadron is drawn out to Exercise, I suppose their Carbines and Pistols loaden, and the Corporals passing through the Ranks to see they are all ready, upon which, observe the chief Officer Commands Silence, and gives the following Words of Command, viz.

1. =Lay your Right Hands on your Swords.= 2. =Draw your Swords.= 3. =Put your Swords in your Bridle-hand.= 4. =Lay your Hands on your Pistols.= 5. =Hold up your Hands.  Give Fire.=

When you have fired, let not your Pistol-hand sink till the next Word of Command, viz.

6. =Return your Pistols.=

And this you must observe in Firing to the Left and Right; Then,

7. =Lay your Hands on your Carbines.= 8. =Advance your Carbines.= 9. =Cock your Carbines.  Fire.= 10. =Let fall your Carbines.= 11. =Take your Swords from your Bridle-hands.=

These must be done with a swift and exact Motion, all as near as may be doing it at one and the same time.

If a Squadron of Horse is to Wheel to the Right, the Right-hand-man must not close to the Left, as has in ancient times been; for that many times disorders the Rank; but you must keep your Ground, suffering the Left to come about whilst you only turn your Horses Heads, observing your Left-hand-man.

To close the File.

The Right Wing file stand.

1. =Close your files.= 2. =To The Right.= 3. =To the Left as you were.= 4. =To the Left wing, and stand.= 5. =To the Left by files close the Squadron.= 6. =To the Right as you were.= 7. =The Right and Left Wing Files stand.= 8. =By half Ranks, close Files to the Right and Left.=

And by closing Files you may cleave or divide the Squadron.

The Order of closing Ranks.

1. =File-leader stand.= } { Or open on the Front,
2. =By ranks close the= } { Or the first distances.
   =Squadron to the Front.= } {
3. =On the Front as= } { And so be cautious in
   =you were.= } { observing each Motion.
