I ſhall alſo ſet down King William's Eſtabliſhment as the Regiments were before the Reform, becauſe all the Officers ſtill remain, and a great part of the private Soldiers, which I take to be in effect full Regiments; the reſt being to be raiſed again in a few days, if they are deſigned for home Service, but, as I ſaid before, the hardeſt to be got if they are deſigned for Spain or Flanders. But herein if any Man differs from me, he may make his own deductions.
The Eſtabliſhment of Charles the Second in England in the Year Eighty.
