the_o two_o boat_n crew_n ashore_o it_o be_v pleasant_a to_o see_v how_o such_o as_o be_v on_o horseback_n do_v scamper_v and_o such_o as_o be_v on_o foot_n do_v climb_v upon_o the_o rock_n like_v so_o many_o goat_n in_o fine_a it_o not_o be_v safe_a for_o so_o small_a a_o number_n as_o our_o boat_n crew_n to_o advance_v far_o our_o commander_n be_v content_v to_o bring_v some_o of_o their_o

dublin_n it_o be_v common_o judge_v by_o papist_n as_o well_v as_o protestant_n at_o dublin_n that_o king_n james_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o submit_v to_o our_o king_n first_o because_o he_o be_v
