admirable_a courage_n for_o the_o love_n of_o their_o phéere_n let_v not_o we_o which_o be_v man_n endue_v with_o wisdom_n and_o understanding_n and_o with_o far_o great_a prerogative_n of_o nature_n than_o any_o other_o inferior_a creature_n they_o be_v subject_a unto_o we_o and_o make_v for_o our_o use_n but_o we_o have_v our_o nature_n much_o indéer_v and_o better_v by_o art_n let_v not_o we_o i_o say_v show_v more_o cowardice_n and_o faint_a heart_a timorousness_n than_o these_o silly_a fowl_n of_o the_o air_n have_v do_v i_o read_v of_o many_o man_n in_o former_a time_n which_o to_o

i_o think_v have_v be_v so_o much_o subject_n to_o cowardice_n that_o they_o will_v not_o fight_v to_o saveguard_n their_o own_o life_n yet_o this_o be_v our_o cause_n now_o nay_o our_o cause_n be_v more_o than_o so_o to_o animate_v we_o unto_o this_o conflict_n for_o we_o be_v command_v by_o our_o prince_n who_o of_o necessity_n we_o must_v obey_v and_o challenge_v by_o our_o mortal_a enemy_n
