the_o admiral_n as_o i_o be_o inform_v by_o one_o of_o his_o ship_n fire_v many_o gun_n but_o as_o most_o agree_v stand_v at_o that_o distance_n that_o no_o man_n can_v tell_v to_o what_o purpose_n

and_o do_v some_o of_o they_o no_o little_a damage_n insomuch_o that_o our_o seaman_n be_v very_o much_o exasperate_v at_o it_o the_o engagement_n continue_v till_o about_o five_o of_o the_o clock_n but_o then_o the_o french_a bear_v away_o and_o so_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o action_n of_o that_o day_n and_o both_o fleet_n anchor_v that_o night_n the_o next_o morning_n both_o fleet_n lay_v at_o

which_o they_o do_v they_o may_v very_o well_o have_v send_v away_o the_o disable_v ship_n and_o save_v they_o and_o the_o french_a will_v never_o have_v attack_v we_o in_o this_o engagement_n the_o

as_o some_o say_v a_o dutch_a vice-admiral_n be_v disable_v the_o man_n find_v themselves_o among_o the_o french_a fire_v their_o ship_n and_o get_v off_o to_o the_o english_a shore_n to_o the_o

the_o enemy_n still_o observe_v as_o he_o turn_v turn_v after_o he_o so_o that_o upon_o friday_n another_o of_o the_o dutch_a ship_n be_v force_v to_o do_v as_o their_o fellow_n have_v do_v fire_n

whereas_o have_v the_o admiral_n and_o his_o squadron_n fight_v as_o the_o rest_n do_v we_o have_v undoubted_o obtain_v a_o considerable_a victory_n over_o the_o french_a fleet_n with_o less_o loss_n
