regiment_n now_o live_v that_o be_v know_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o deserve_a gallant_a man_n and_o it_o be_v a_o complete_a fight_a regiment_n and_o then_o to_o certify_v that_o he_o know_v such_o a_o

that_o can_v make_v best_a friend_n when_o service_n and_o desert_n either_o lie_v in_o prison_n or_o dare_v not_o peep_v out_o for_o fear_n as_o by_o some_o it_o be_v too_o open_o know_v that_o

another_o sort_n of_o true_o loyal_a but_o not_o indigent_a which_o some_o of_o they_o i_o much_o honour_n have_v be_v much_o impoverish_v in_o estate_n by_o their_o service_n for_o the_o king_n and_o never_o yet_o have_v any_o reward_n that_o have_v put_v in_o for_o a_o part_n of_o this_o money_n that_o be_v not_o so_o indigent_a but_o if_o they_o have_v think_v to_o what_o a_o pitiful_a sum_n

be_v now_o intend_v for_o they_o that_o be_v real_o in_o want_n for_o the_o present_a i_o believe_v there_o be_v some_o that_o have_v take_v of_o this_o money_n that_o if_o the_o truth_n be_v know_v
