I'm preparing an edition of Lord Herbert of Cherbury's history the expedition to Rhé. On page 28 of the Philoblion edition, Lord Herbert, in describing the first embarking of English troops, says "Sir John Burroughes, and Sir Alexander Brett, together with some veterans, did (though not without military emulation) first take land;".
What is "military emulation" in this context? Does it mean that they landed their companies in an orderly way, or does it describe something else?
