without_o revenge_v they_o all_o the_o iroquois_n will_v be_v destroy_v one_o after_o another_o indeed_o these_o barbarian_n have_v grow_v more_o insolent_a ever_o since_o and_o despise_v the_o

even_o at_o this_o very_a day_n under_o pain_n of_o death_n yet_o those_o people_n be_v never_o the_o worse_o treat_v nay_o the_o mexican_n be_v as_o good_a roman-catholic_n as_o any_o in_o the_o
