i_o any_o where_o else_o or_o in_o any_o other_o country_n and_o indeed_o you_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n for_o it_o as_o it_o appear_v afterward_o for_o in_o another_o place_n you_o may_v not_o have_v have_v the_o convenience_n of_o bring_v a_o boat_n full_a of_o man_n and_o of_o lay_v a_o ambuscado_n all_o night_n long_o in_o the_o dirche_n as_o you_o do_v which_o be_v contrary_a to_o your_o promise_n and_o the_o agreement_n which_o you_o make_v with_o my_o second_o which_o be_v not_o to_o have_v bring_v any_o body_n but_o your_o second_o lieutenant_n colonel_n goff_n within_o six_o mile_n of_o the_o place_n where_o we_o be_v to_o fight_v at_o and_o for_o my_o own_o particular_a i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o you_o do_v your_o best_a to_o persuade_v those_o person_n you_o bring_v along_o with_o you_o if_o they_o will_v have_v be_v so_o base_a to_o have_v destroy_v i_o either_o in_o the_o field_n or_o at_o least_o to_o have_v strop_n i_o in_o case_n you_o have_v fall_v for_o certain_o else_o you_o will_v not_o have_v appoint_v such_o a_o close_a place_n as_o that_o be_v to_o fight_v in_o for_o first_o on_o the_o one_o side_n of_o the_o field_n there_o be_v such_o high_a hedge_n broad_a ditch_n and_o wood_n that_o it_o be_v in_o possible_a to_o have_v get_v away_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n a_o broad_a river_n that_o be_v not_o passable_a without_o a_o boat_n and_o by_o that_o time_n we_o have_v do_v fight_v all_o the_o boat_n be_v convey_v on_o the_o further_a side_n of_o the_o river_n so_o that_o in_o two_o mile_n ride_v i_o can_v hardly_o get_v one_o to_o carry_v i_o over_o the_o water_n although_o when_o i_o come_v into_o the_o field_n several_a boat_n be_v on_o that_o side_n the_o river_n we_o seek_v on_o nay_o more_o man_n that_o the_o way_n out_o of_o the_o field_n be_v narrow_a and_o so_o full_a of_o great_a tree_n and_o such_o broad_a ditch_n on_o both_o side_n of_o it_o as_o that_o one_o man_n may_v easy_o have_v stay_v i_o but_o in_o case_n they_o have_v miss_v i_o there_o i_o have_v no_o other_o way_n to_o save_v myself_o but_o close_a to_o the_o river_n side_n where_o i_o can_v hardly_o ride_v half_a a_o mile_n on_o either_o hand_n but_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v necessitate_v to_o pass_v over_o a_o bridge_n where_o two_o man_n may_v easy_o have_v stop_v i_o beside_o close_o to_o each_o of_o the_o bridge_n be_v a_o house_n where_o i_o see_v man_n like_o soldier_n but_o your_o say_n to_o my_o second_o that_o you_o do_v fear_v the_o rise_n of_o the_o boar_n or_o country_n man_n i_o must_v confess_v do_v hinder_v my_o curiosity_n of_o fist_v out_o your_o villainy_n then_o although_o i_o have_v repent_v myself_o a_o thousand_o time_n since_o that_o i_o do_v not_o question_v the_o fellow_n what_o they_o be_v for_o i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v set_v there_o by_o your_o order_n and_o if_o you_o have_v not_o have_v some_o base_a design_n upon_o i_o why_o shall_v you_o entice_v i_o into_o such_o a_o trapp_n as_o that_o be_v rather_o than_o to_o give_v i_o a_o meeting_n in_o a_o open_a country_n there_o be_v large_a heathe_v far_o near_o those_o village_n we_o lodge_v in_o the_o night_n before_o than_o the_o field_n be_v the_o we_o meet_v in_o the_o next_o morning_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a a_o great_a deal_n more_o convenient_a for_o fight_v a_o horseback_n and_o windsor_n if_o thou_o be_v not_o give_v to_o lie_v thou_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o this_o be_v a_o true_a description_n of_o the_o place_n where_o we_o seek_v then_o let_v the_o world_n judge_v if_o the_o carriage_n of_o this_o action_n be_v justifiable_a in_o a_o man_n that_o pretend_v to_o have_v either_o courage_n or_o honour_n and_o indeed_o i_o can_v much_o blame_v you_o to_o refuse_v read_v my_o letter_n because_o it_o seem_v you_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v put_v in_o mind_n of_o your_o baseness_n and_o treachery_n can_v you_o forget_v how_o you_o come_v sneak_v into_o the_o field_n in_o a_o white_a capp_n as_o if_o you_o have_v be_v go_v to_o the_o gallow_n and_o how_o like_o a_o stinkard_n as_o you_o be_v you_o refuse_v for_o to_o pluck_v off_o your_o double_a and_o that_o for_o all_o your_o manage_a horse_n you_o dare_v not_o come_v within_o four_o or_o five_o yard_n of_o i_o but_o carricole_v round_o about_o i_o know_v it_o your_o sure_a play_n against_o i_o be_v upon_o a_o unready_a horse_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o advantage_n you_o discharge_v both_o your_o pistol_n at_o so_o great_a a_o distance_n from_o i_o that_o you_o do_v neither_o touch_v i_o nor_o my_o horse_n howsoever_o you_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o both_o my_o pistol_n do_v some_o execution_n for_o with_o the_o first_o i_o shoot_v your_o horse_n through_o the_o neck_n and_o with_o the_o last_o i_o fright_v you_o so_o after_o both_o your_o pistol_n be_v discharge_v that_o you_o rid_v close_o to_o your_o second_o as_o it_o be_v for_o protection_n and_o indeed_o i_o find_v my_o horse_n so_o bad_a that_o i_o can_v not_o with_o all_o the_o art_n or_o skill_n i_o have_v come_v close_o to_o you_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o quick_a turn_n too_o and_o fro_o of_o your_o horse_n i_n must_v ingenious_o confess_v that_o it_o put_v i_o so_o into_o passion_n that_o i_o resolve_v to_o venture_v my_o pistol_n at_o you_o at_o a_o distance_n which_o it_o seem_v narrow_o miss_v you_o and_o much_o contrary_n to_o my_o intention_n or_o desire_n most_o unfortunate_o kill_v your_o second_o which_o serious_o grieve_v i_o to_o the_o very_a soul_n that_o so_o gallant_a a_o man_n as_o he_o be_v shall_v suffer_v and_o that_o such_o a_o foist_n as_o you_o be_v shall_v escape_v beside_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o sword_n you_o dare_v not_o to_o come_v up_o to_o i_o rid_v still_o round_o about_o i_o know_v the_o great_a advantage_n you_o have_v of_o i_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o goodness_n of_o your_o horse_n and_o indeed_o i_o perceive_v of_o it_o too_o clap_v spur_n to_o my_o horse_n think_v to_o come_v close_o to_o you_o at_o last_o but_o miss_v both_o you_o and_o your_o horse_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o quick_a some_o that_o he_o nude_v my_o horse_n be_v very_o ill_o mouth_v run_v away_o with_o i_o which_o advantage_n you_o do_v not_o neglect_v but_o follow_v i_o in_o the_o rear_n yet_o at_o such_o a_o distance_n that_o you_o be_v not_o within_o five_o or_o six_o yard_n of_o i_o but_o howsoever_o i_o find_v myself_o not_o able_a either_o to_o stop_n or_o turn_v my_o horse_n rather_o than_o to_o ride_v away_o fling_v myself_o out_o of_o the_o saddle_n and_o fall_v sidelong_o on_o the_o ground_n i_o instant_o stand_v up_o again_o with_o my_o sword_n in_o my_o hand_n calling_z several_a time_n to_o you_o my_o lord_n if_o you_o be_v a_o gallant_a man_n light_n since_o my_o horse_n as_o you_o see_v be_v a_o jade_n and_o that_o both_o you_o pistol_n and_o i_o be_v discharge_v show_v your_o gallant_o if_o you_o dare_v and_o let_v we_o fight_v it_o out_o a_o foot_n with_o our_o sword_n but_o you_o most_o cowardly_o refuse_v to_o do_v it_o although_o your_o second_o lie_v bleed_v before_o you_o and_o like_o a_o base_a fellow_n leave_v the_o field_n when_o your_o second_o be_v even_o ready_a to_o swoon_v and_o have_v not_o my_o second_o and_o i_o take_v care_n of_o he_o he_o may_v instant_o have_v bleed_v to_o death_n so_o little_o do_v

it_o first_o to_o show_v you_o that_o i_o be_v not_o so_o timorous_a then_o as_o you_o be_v and_o next_o because_o the_o boat_n you_o bring_v be_v almost_o go_v out_o of_o sight_n beside_o one_o of_o mr_n rennolds_n ditch_n companion_n be_v run_v away_o with_o his_o horse_n so_o that_o not_o only_o in_o civility_n but_o also_o in_o gratitude_n i_o be_v oblige_v for_o to_o do_v it_o for_o whilst_o i_o be_v reach_v a_o shirt_n of_o my_o own_o for_o to_o bind_v up_o lieutenant_n colonel_n goff_v hurt_v my_o horse_n slip_v the_o bridle_n out_o of_o my_o hand_n and_o run_v away_o and_o mr_n rennolds_n bring_v he_o to_o i_o again_o so_o he_o save_v i_o from_o gode_v a_o foot_n i_o think_v myself_o bind_v to_o do_v he_o the_o like_a courtesy_n and_o for_o my_o be_v at_o the_o mercy_n of_o
