-wing, double your Rank to the Front.= Now to reduce this, take the following Method; 1. =Right-wing half Ranks, advance your Ranks.= 2. =Half File-leader take your Ground.= 3. =The first half File stand.= 4. =By half File-leaders on the Right and Left-wings, double your Ranks to the Front, Carocoling to the Right and Left. Then the last half File stand, and the first half file by Carocol in the Right and Left on the wings; then double our Ranks to the Rear.= Here observe the first File must open the half Rank to the Right and Left, the first half File by Carocol. Then =To the Right and Left double your Ranks to the Rear.= Here observe the last half File must open the half Rank to the Right and Left. As for the word _Carocol_, it signifies no more when you Wheel by it, than that it is made by the depth of the Flank of the Squadron, by which Order not the Files, but the Ranks make the Motion. There is an other Word which some may not well understand at the first setting out, which is called _Controversion_; and this in Wheeling is performed by the Front of the Squadron, so that whilst the Rank makes the Motion, the File remains. _Instructions for Wheeling, with the proper words of Command._ When the Word is given, _viz._ _To the Right by Conversion_, understand that you must close your Right-leg to the Horse, your Knee touching that of your Right-hand-mans, and in like manner observe in the Word of Command to the Left; as when it is said, _Close to the Left_, then must the Leg be Closed. By half Ranks and Conversion, divide the Squadron into two _Troops_. If you would reduce the Squadron, the Word of Command is. _By Controversion_: The Squadron into one Troop, else the Left-wing advance by Conversion. When you Wheel by Carocol, observe the Word of Command as follows, _The Right-wing to the Left by Carocol, Face about to the Rear_: Or it may be done by half Ranks in this manner, By Quarter Ranks, and by Carocol, divide the Squadron into three Troops. Then if you would reduce them, order Quarter Ranks and Troops into Squadrons. If the Volt, Face or facing about be required, observe thus, _Face about to the Right: Face to the Right by Controversion; Face about by Carocol to the Right: Face about to the Left by half Files: Face about to the Right and Left._ And thus much may serve for Wheeling. _The manner of Filing off._ In this case observe, To File by Ranks on t
