the_o reason_n i_o hear_v that_o they_o give_v out_o to_o their_o people_n why_o they_o do_v not_o fight_v we_o be_v because_o they_o expect_v many_o body_n of_o man_n more_o out_o of_o the_o north_n of_o scotland_n which_o when_o they_o come_v they_o give_v out_o they_o will_v then_o engage_v but_o i_o believe_v they_o will_v rather_o tempt_v we_o to_o attempt_v they_o in_o their_o fast_a net_n
