with_o which_o it_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o be_v common_a to_o both_o that_o in_o neither_o of_o the_o two_o sea_n there_o be_v any_o island_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o seek_v

and_o beat_v against_o the_o ship_n on_o every_o side_n with_o a_o invincible_a swiftness_n and_o force_n second_o because_o there_o be_v few_o or_o no_o road_n in_o that_o sea_n which_o be_v shelter_v from_o the_o wind_n but_o where_o there_o be_v more_o danger_n then_o in_o the_o open_a sea_n all_o the_o black-sea_n be_v under_o the_o dominion_n of_o the_o grand_a signior_n there_o be_v no_o sail_v there_o without_o his_o leave_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o great_a fear_n of_o pirate_n which_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v a_o great_a danger_n than_o the_o sea_n itself_o all_o that_o
