6._o of_o the_o clock_n we_o march_v a_o english_a mile_n further_o into_o the_o country_n leave_v sir_n peregrine_n bartue_n in_o the_o place_n with_o some_o company_n the_o 15._o by_o 6._o of_o the_o clock_n in_o the_o morning_n we_o march_v on_o to_o a_o village_n within_o a_o english_a mile_n and_o take_v in_o that_o without_o any_o disturbance_n then_o we_o march_v on_o two_o english_a mile_n further_a to_o a_o town_n call_v st._n maries_n when_o we_o come_v near_o to_o the_o town_n the_o protestant_n come_v out_o and_o yield_v the_o town_n to_o the_o lord_n general_n so_o he_o go_v with_o some_o gentleman_n with_o he_o and_o take_v possession_n and_o make_v the_o soldier_n march_v by_o and_o not_o suffer_v they_o to_o come_v to_o the_o town_n fear_v they_o will_v pillage_v and_o disturb_v the_o people_n so_o we_o march_v on_o the_o same_o day_n to_o a_o town_n call_v la_n float_v in_o the_o mid_a way_n the_o enemy_n appear_v with_o 120._o horse_n and_o 1500._o foot_n the_o which_o be_v leave_v unkilled_a we_o do_v very_o think_v they_o will_v have_v give_v we_o battle_n but_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v so_o for_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o view_v we_o they_o return_v back_o again_o we_o be_v ready_a for_o they_o for_o our_o man_n be_v very_o forward_o to_o fight_v so_o we_o march_v on_o within_o half_a a_o mile_n of_o la_n float_v where_o the_o protestant_n of_o that_o town_n meet_v we_o and_o surrender_v the_o town_n and_o themselves_o with_o a_o suit_n they_o have_v to_o the_o lord_n general_n which_o be_v that_o he_o will_v for_o their_o sake_n show_v favour_n to_o the_o romish_a catholic_n for_o that_o they_o have_v live_v long_o together_o in_o that_o town_n and_o ever_o receive_v good_a quarter_n and_o usage_n from_o they_o and_o that_o now_o see_v he_o

take_v possession_n and_o present_o turn_v back_o to_o the_o soldier_n and_o encamp_v they_o round_o about_o the_o same_o and_o will_v not_o suffer_v any_o of_o they_o to_o go_v into_o it_o fear_v they_o will_v make_v pillage_n and_o that_o night_n lie_v among_o they_o in_o the_o open_a field_n with_o no_o other_o bed_n save_o one_o cloak_n under_o his_o head_n and_o another_o upon_o he_o the_o next_o day_n be_v the_o 16_o he_o go_v into_o the_o town_n accompany_v with_o mounseur_fw-fr subesa_n and_o some_o other_o lord_n to_o bury_v sir_n william_n heydon_n and_o return_v into_o the_o

continue_v so_o till_o twelve_o of_o the_o clock_n the_o next_o day_n the_o next_o day_n be_v the_o 17._o we_o martched_a on_o towards_o st._n martyn_n though_o it_o rain_v very_o fearful_o and_o about_o 12._o of_o the_o clock_n it_o grow_v fair_a at_o which_o time_n we_o be_v within_o three_o english_a mile_n of_o the_o town_n by_o that_o time_n we_o have_v march_v a_o mile_n further_o we_o can_v see_v the_o enemy_n sally_v out_o of_o the_o fort_n with_o horse_n and_o foot_n so_o they_o martched_a towards_o we_o and_o be_v within_o the_o distance_n of_o a_o english_a mile_n and_o we_o think_v they_o will_v take_v the_o advantage_n of_o our_o weary_a march_v and_o give_v we_o battle_n therefore_o it_o be_v hold_v fit_a by_o the_o lord_n general_n that_o we_o shall_v take_v all_o advantage_n we_o can_v in_o that_o place_n which_o be_v only_o to_o gain_v the_o sun_n and_o the_o wind_n of_o they_o we_o march_v on_o towards_o the_o end_n of_o the_o town_n that_o lie_v next_o unto_o the_o sea_n side_n and_o further_a from_o the_o fort._n and_o by_o that_o we_o have_v advantage_n both_o of_o sun_n and_o wind_n within_o less_o than_o a_o english_a mile_n of_o the_o end_n of_o the_o town_n we_o can_v see_v the_o horse_n approach_v very_o fierce_o as_o though_o they_o will_v come_v sudden_o upon_o us._n whereupon_o the_o lord_n general_n give_v order_n to_o the_o master_n of_o the_o ordnance_n to_o shoot_v some_o of_o our_o drake_n at_o they_o which_o he_o do_v and_o kill_v a_o gentleman_n and_o two_o horse_n and_o put_v all_o the_o rest_n in_o fear_n and_o

present_o put_v out_o a_o flag_n of_o truce_n and_o send_v some_o of_o the_o protestant_n to_o we_o to_o render_v the_o town_n without_o any_o condition_n so_o that_o we_o present_o march_v into_o it_o in_o battalion_n and_o quarter_v all_o our_o soldier_n therein_o the_o lord_n general_n ride_v to_o every_o company_n and_o desire_v they_o to_o be_v careful_a of_o themselves_o and_o not_o to_o
