be_v native_a syamer_n to_o who_o he_o deliver_v a_o letter_n from_o the_o precedent_n and_o council_n enjoin_v they_o to_o forward_o one_o that_o accompany_v it_o to_o the_o king_n of_o syam_n the_o

to_o proceed_v to_o make_v themselves_o reparation_n by_o force_n of_o their_o arms._n as_o to_o myself_o the_o captain_n be_v please_v to_o tell_v i_o he_o have_v order_n to_o expect_v thirty_o day_n for_o my_o answer_n but_o i_o be_v better_o resolve_v than_o to_o need_v any_o time_n to_o consider_v whether_o i_o will_v obey_v his_o majesty_n command_n and_o according_o i_o do_v without_o delay_n

up_o arm_n against_o the_o king_n of_o syam_n i_o can_v not_o but_o protest_v against_o it_o nor_o can_v i_o now_o mention_v it_o without_o avow_v a_o just_a abhorrence_n of_o so_o nefarious_a a_o

the_o service_n of_o my_o life_n can_v never_o discharge_v i_o and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v rather_o embrace_v the_o most_o cruel_a death_n than_o be_v induce_v to_o any_o thing_n may_v just_o render_v i_o ungrateful_a all_o thing_n do_v to_o this_o time_n look_v as_o well_o as_o be_v possible_a under_o so_o strange_a a_o conjuncture_n there_o pass_v daily_a intercourse_n of_o

care_n be_v take_v to_o translate_v and_o forward_o his_o dispatch_n to_o court_n so_o that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o cause_n to_o doubt_v but_o this_o tranquillity_n will_v at_o least_o continue_v till_o the_o sixty_o day_n limit_v for_o the_o king_n of_o syam_n answer_n be_v expire_v wherefore_o on_o the_o five_o of_o july_n i_o go_v to_o tenassary_n a_o town_n about_o fifty_o mile_n distant_a to_o transact_v some_o affair_n of_o the_o king_n of_o syam_n that_o be_v under_o my_o care_n but_o i_o have_v not_o be_v there_o two_o day_n before_o i_o be_v alarm_v by_o letter_n from_o mergen_n

divers_a of_o our_o nation_n come_v to_o give_v i_o a_o more_o particular_a account_n of_o these_o unhappy_a passage_n in_o my_o absence_n and_o be_v present_o follow_v by_o the_o syam_n magistrate_n exclaim_v against_o these_o outrage_n with_o most_o passionate_a resentment_n demand_v of_o i_o what_o can_v induce_v the_o captain_n thus_o to_o violate_v his_o faith_n so_o solemn_o and_o public_o engage_v to_o they_o in_o declare_v that_o he_o will_v await_v sixty_o day_n for_o answer_n to_o his_o pretend_a demand_n at_o court_n and_o now_o in_o this_o manner_n to_o break_v in_o upon_o they_o
