conclusion_n be_v make_v among_o we_o then_o fall_v we_o again_o to_o bethink_v we_o of_o our_o misery_n both_o pass_v and_o to_o come_v and_o how_o though_o if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o give_v we_o life_n yet_o shall_v we_o live_v as_o banish_v man_n not_o only_o from_o our_o friend_n but_o from_o all_o other_o company_n then_o think_v we_o of_o the_o pinch_a cold_a and_o of_o the_o pine_a

increase_n of_o it_o for_o examine_v our_o provision_n once_o more_o we_o find_v that_o all_o our_o frittar_n of_o the_o whale_n be_v almost_o spoil_v with_o the_o wet_a that_o they_o have_v take_v after_o which_o by_o lie_v so_o close_o together_o they_o be_v now_o grow_v mouldy_a and_o our_o bear_n and_o venison_n we_o perceive_v again_o not_o to_o amount_v to_o such_o a_o quantity_n as_o to_o allow_v we_o five_o meal_n a_o week_n whereupon_o we_o be_v fain_o to_o shorten_v our_o stomach_n of_o one_o meal_n more_o so_o that_o for_o the_o space_n of_o three_o month_n after_o that_o we_o for_o four_o day_n in_o the_o week_n feed_v upon_o the_o unsavoury_a and_o mouldy_a frittar_n and_o the_o other_o three_o we_o feast_v it_o with_o bear_n and_o venison_n but_o as_o if_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o want_v meat_n we_o now_o begin_v to_o want_v light_a also_o all_o our_o meal_n prove_v supper_n now_o for_o little_a light_n can_v we_o see_v even_o the_o glorious_a sun_n as_o if_o unwilling_a to_o behold_v our_o misery_n mask_v his_o lovely_a face_n from_o we_o under_o the_o sable_a veil_n of_o coalblack_a night_n thus_o from_o the_o fourteen_o of_o october_n till_o the_o three_o of_o february_n we_o never_o see_v the_o sun_n nor_o do_v he_o all_o that_o time_n ever_o so_o much_o as_o peep_v above_o the_o horizon_n but_o the_o moon_n we_o see_v at_o all_o time_n day_n and_o night_n when_o the_o cloud_n obscure_v she_o not_o shine_v as_o bright_a as_o she_o do_v in_o england_n the_o sky_n it_o be_v true_a be_v very_o much_o trouble_v with_o thick_a and_o black_a weather_n all_o the_o winter_n time_n so_o that_o then_o we_o can_v not_o see_v the_o moon_n nor_o can_v discern_v what_o point_n of_o the_o compass_n she_o bear_v upon_o we_o a_o kind_n of_o daylight_n we_o have_v indeed_o which_o glimmer_v some_o eight_o hour_n a_o day_n unto_o we_o in_o october_n time_n i_o mean_v for_o from_o thence_o unto_o the_o first_o of_o december_n even_o that_o light_n be_v shorten_v ten_o or_o twelve_o minute_n a_o day_n constant_o so_o that_o from_o the_o first_o of_o december_n till_o the_o twenty_o there_o appear_v no_o light_n at_o all_o but_o all_o be_v one_o continue_v night_n all_o that_o we_o can_v perceive_v be_v that_o in_o a_o clear_a season_n now_o and_o then_o there_o appear_v a_o little_a glare_v of_o white_a like_o some_o show_n of_o day_n towards_o the_o south_n but_o no_o light_n at_o all_o and_o this_o continue_a till_o the_o first_o of_o january_n by_o which_o time_n we_o may_v perceive_v the_o day_n a_o little_a to_o increase_v all_o this_o darksome_a time_n no_o certainty_n can_v we_o have_v when_o it_o shall_v be_v day_n or_o when_o night_n only_o myself_o out_o of_o my_o own_o little_a judgement_n keep_v the_o observation_n of_o it_o thus_o first_o bear_v in_o mind_n the_o number_n of_o the_o epact_n i_o make_v my_o addition_n by_o a_o day_n suppose_v though_o not_o absolute_o to_o be_v know_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o darkness_n by_o which_o i_o judge_v of_o the_o age_n of_o the_o moon_n and_o this_o give_v i_o my_o rule_n of_o the_o pass_n of_o the_o time_n so_o that_o at_o the_o come_n of_o the_o ship_n into_o the_o port_n i_o tell_v they_o the_o very_a day_n of_o the_o month_n as_o direct_o as_o they_o themselves_o can_v tell_v i_o at_o the_o beginning_n of_o this_o darksome_a irksome_a time_n we_o seek_v some_o mean_n of_o preserve_a light_n among_o we_o find_v therefore_o a_o piece_n of_o sheete-lead_a over_o a_o seam_n of_o one_o of_o the_o cooler_n that_o we_o rip_v off_o and_o make_v three_o lamp_n of_o it_o which_o maintain_v with_o oil_n that_o we_o find_v in_o the_o cooper_n tent_n and_o roape-yarne_n serve_v we_o in_o steed_n of_o candle-weeke_n we_o keep_v they_o continual_o burn_v and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a comfort_n to_o we_o in_o our_o extremity_n thus_o do_v we_o our_o best_a to_o preserve_v ourselves_o but_o all_o this_o can_v not_o secure_v we_o for_o
