at_o the_o head_n of_o their_o squadron_n and_o several_a s●ots_n beexchange_v by_o each_o fleet_n be_v defiance-frigat_n and_o advice-boat_n about_o ten_o a_o clock_n a_o most_o furious_a and_o bloody_a fight_n ensue_v between_o both_o fleet_n engage_v board_n and_o board_n which_o though_o it_o continue_v till_o night_n put_v a_o end_n yet_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o after_o a_o few_o hour_n we_o take_v the_o line_n of_o the_o french_a fleet_n and_o put_v they_o into_o great_a confusion_n they_o fight_v retreat_v for_o several_a hour_n before_o night_n and_o it_o be_v think_v this_o morning_n our_o fleet_n have_v engage_v they_o again_o the_o wind_n '_o being_n still_o at_o east_n south_n east_n so_o that_o they_o can_v well_o escape_v we_o by_o make_v to_o any_o of_o

the_o shallowness_n of_o the_o water_n that_o they_o can_v get_v over_o the_o bar_n so_o that_o we_o doubt_v not_o but_o our_o fleet_n by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n will_v destroy_v most_o of_o the_o french_a before_o we_o let_v they_o go_v off_o from_o the_o english_a coast_n the_o particular_n of_o this_o engagement_n also_o what_o ship_n we_o have_v take_v sink_v and_o man_n kill_v be_v expect_v with_o grert_a impatience_n but_o several_a gentleman_n from_o the_o hill_n of_o sussex_n with_o their_o telescope_n affirm_v that_o they_o see_v six_o large_a ship_n of_o the_o french_a on_o
