The military discipline, London, 1642, later calf

MILITARY DISCIPLINE

[The military discipline wherein is martially showne the order for driling the musket and pike. Set forth in postures with ye words of com[m]and, and brief instructions for the right use of the same. London: Thomas Jenner, 1642] 

4to (180 x 135mm.), with first line of caption title on p.1 ending "the" and catchword on p.4 "stand", 20 leaves of plates, later calf gilt, top edge gilt, lacking title-page, some neat restoration, a few plates shaved at outer margin, a small tear to one plate, some browning 

VERY RARE. ESTC records just one copy of this edition, in the British Library, and one copy of the other issue (ESTC R31231). Essentially this is a reworking of Bingham's Exercise of the English (see lot 5) together with extracts from Barriffe's Military discipline (see lot 86).
