to_o desire_v a_o peace_n tell_v he_o that_o it_o be_v true_a enough_o that_o the_o most_o considerable_a family_n of_o our_o country_n suffer_v very_o much_o by_o heavy_a tax_n as_o have_v great_a

that_o they_o be_v repair_v on_o the_o other_o by_o a_o considerable_a sale_n of_o the_o manufactury_n and_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o there_o be_v much_o more_o ship_n build_v now_o than_o

in_o the_o affirmative_a the_o prisoner_n have_v further_a ask_v he_o whether_o he_o have_v any_o proposal_n to_o make_v relate_v to_o a_o peace_n that_o the_o say_v halewyn_n have_v answer_v he_o
