the_o occasion_n of_o his_o misfortune_n be_v this_o he_o have_v send_v into_o portugal_n for_o lime_n and_o material_n for_o the_o fortification_n the_o ship_n be_v not_o yet_o arrive_v and_o that_o party_n of_o man_n that_o come_v from_o the_o guard_n want_v employment_n he_o resolve_v to_o make_v some_o execution_n with_o they_o upon_o a_o wood_n that_o do_v serve_v as_o a_o retreat_n unto_o some_o straggle_a moor_n who_o from_o thence_o do_v kill_v our_o scout_n undiscovered_a in_o order_n to_o their_o go_v out_o he_o dispatch_v several_a runaway_n of_o the_o moor_n that_o live_v in_o the_o town_n to_o discover_v if_o any_o party_n be_v thereabouts_o to_o keep_v guard_n they_o return_v with_o this_o information_n that_o no_o moor_n be_v to_o be_v see_v round_o about_o the_o country_n the_o unfortunate_a general_n believe_v they_o yet_o he_o have_v a_o presentiment_n of_o his_o misfortune_n and_o special_o because_o it_o be_v the_o same_o day_n of_o the_o year_n that_o the_o english_a have_v lose_v six_o hundred_o man_n massacre_v under_o their_o wall_n by_o gayland_n in_o person_n therefore_o he_o be_v often_o hear_v that_o morning_n to_o say_v remember_v gentleman_n that_o this_o be_v the_o three_o of_o may_n he_o do_v discover_v some_o kind_n of_o apprehension_n which_o one_o major_a knightly_a labour_v to_o overcome_v by_o offer_v himself_o to_o lead_v out_o the_o party_n but_o he_o will_v not_o be_v think_v to_o be_v less_o dare_a than_o any_o man_n therefore_o he_o adventure_n out_o most_o of_o his_o man_n be_v fit_a to_o encounter_v with_o bough_n and_o shrub_n than_o with_o a_o enemy_n for_o they_o be_v more_o arm_v with_o hatchet_n than_o with_o musket_n he_o be_v no_o soon_o advance_v into_o the_o wood_n but_o immediate_o there_o appear_v as_o many_o alhag_n as_o tree_n gayland_n army_n of_o foot_n and_o horse_n it_o seem_v have_v march_v all_o night_n from_o alcazor_n and_o as_o some_o say_v he_o have_v a_o intention_n to_o conclude_v a_o peace_n this_o appearance_n strike_v such_o a_o fear_n into_o our_o man_n that_o they_o mind_v more_o how_o to_o save_v themselves_o by_o flight_n than_o to_o fight_v but_o be_v about_o three_o mile_n from_o tangier_n and_o many_o thousand_o horse_n in_o the_o valley_n they_o be_v all_o cut_v off_o to_o three_o man_n who_o recover_v the_o sea_n and_o hide_v themselves_o in_o rock_n until_o hunger_n force_v they_o to_o adventure_v to_o tangier_n again_o according_a to_o the_o moor_n information_n some_o of_o our_o man_n do_v fall_v their_o life_n at_o a_o dear_a rate_n about_o forty_o rally_v in_o a_o place_n where_o the_o horse_n can_v never_o come_v and_o begin_v such_o a_o desperate_a fight_n with_o the_o foot_n that_o fill_v the_o wood_n that_o as_o many_o of_o their_o man_n end_v their_o day_n as_o of_o we_o have_v gayland_n make_v use_v of_o his_o victory_n and_o assault_v the_o town_n it_o have_v yield_v without_o resistance_n the_o remainder_n of_o the_o

pate_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o concern_v in_o this_o fight_n but_o as_o stander_n by_o and_o looker_n on_o have_v the_o three_o troop_n advance_v out_o of_o the_o line_n they_o may_v have_v save_v some_o of_o our_o men._n my_o friend_n have_v end_v his_o relation_n we_o go_v from_o the_o sight_n of_o this_o unhappy_a place_n unto_o charles_n fort_n and_o to_o the_o decline_v of_o a_o

of_o the_o wisdom_n and_o great_a skill_n of_o my_o lord_n tiveot_n in_o the_o art_n of_o fortification_n nothing_o can_v be_v better_o begin_v and_o be_v it_o continue_v the_o city_n may_v stand_v

the_o first_o rains_n do_v fall_v i_o take_v notice_n of_o nothing_o else_o worthy_a your_o knowledge_n but_o of_o a_o wild_a boar_n of_o a_o strange_a bigness_n a_o little_a after_o the_o rain_n

about_o five_o or_o six_o foot_n high_a a_o desperate_a enemy_n if_o anger_v since_o i_o have_v encounter_v some_o of_o a_o lesser_a size_n and_o find_v they_o to_o be_v full_a of_o courage_n and_o

be_v question_v about_o this_o unusual_a mirth_n they_o say_v it_o be_v because_o the_o time_n be_v now_o come_v when_o don_n sebastian_n king_n of_o portugal_n who_o be_v report_v to_o have_v be_v

stop_v up_o at_o the_o east_n end_n of_o the_o city_n join_v to_o the_o sea_n this_o old_a tale_n they_o do_v believe_v so_o assure_v that_o several_a of_o they_o begin_v to_o prepare_v a_o
