of_o go_v out_o into_o the_o field_n as_o to_o knightsbridge_n where_o be_v a_o excellent_a spring-garden_n to_o marribone_n where_o islington_n be_v a_o very_a good_a bowling-green_a islington_n as_o

of_o the_o street_n there_o be_v coach_n in_o the_o street_n coach_n which_o be_v very_o numerous_a but_o the_o fiacer_n be_v not_o hang_v with_o double_a spring_n at_o the_o four_o corner_n which_o

from_o whence_o i_o draw_v these_o surprise_v conclusion_n first_o that_o a_o hackney_n be_v a_o miserable_a voiture_fw-fr and_o next_o that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v 13._o more_o tire_v in_o a_o hour_n in_o that_o than_o in_o six_o hour_n ride_v in_o my_o lord_n ambassador_n casy_a chariot_n i_o see_v a_o boy_n that_o have_v harness_v two_o dog_n which_o draw_v a_o small_a voiture_fw-fr coach_n with_o a_o burden_n in_o it_o and_o i_o see_v a_o little_a master_n in_o a_o little_a vinegretté_fw-fr draw_v along_o by_o two_o boy_n much_o big_a than_o himself_o and_o push_v behind_o by_o a_o

that_o neither_o post_n chaise_v nor_o rovillion_n be_v in_o use_n in_o london_n i_o tell_v england_n they_o of_o they_o how_o both_o horse_n pull_v but_o one_o only_o be_v in_o the_o thilles_n how_o the_o coachman_n mount_v the_o rovillion_n but_o for_o the_o chaise_n he_o only_o mount_v the_o side_n house_n and_o that_o they_o may_v be_v introduce_v to_o good_a purpose_n but_o i_o find_v the_o english_a curiosity_n so_o small_a that_o i_o do_v not_o see_v any_o rovillion_n make_v during_o my_o six_o month_n stay_n in_o london_n as_o for_o their_o recreation_n and_o walk_n walk_n st._n
