every Officer to use his utmost endeavours to prevent the 
disorderly & unsoldierly practice of firing on the day of review, 
in any other manner or place, than while embodied under the 
command of an officer; & that, in case of transgression, the offend-
ers be proceeded with, as the law in such case directs.
       The Commandants of regiments will cause these orders 
to be regularly & seasonably transmitted to the Commanding Officers 
of companies, who will be held responsible for the punctual 
appearance of every effective soldier, accounted & habited in 
the best possible martial array.
       Doubts having arisen in some of the regiments, whether 
the officers & men selected & returned for detachment, are liable 
to the ordinary duty of musters, &c: It is hereby made explicit, 
that they are not excempt from any of the duties of company, 
battalion, or regimental trainings, required of the militia; 
but on the contrary, it is expected, that they will be the 
foremost to exhibit on all occasions, their prompt obedience 
of orders & actual readiness for the service to which they 
are professedly designated.
                 By order of B. Gen. Sewall,
