of_o charge_n be_v no_o way_n proportionable_a to_o the_o paragon_n yet_o we_o dare_v not_o venture_v into_o that_o road_n but_o have_v lie_v short_a all_o night_n about_o the_o gorgona_n until_o

judge_v it_o a_o most_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o engage_v with_o such_o ship_n of_o charge_n as_o we_o have_v in_o legorne_n ride_v so_o i_o have_v spend_v sundry_a hour_n in_o hammer_v out_o a_o

we_o wherefore_o i_o judge_v myself_o as_o well_o to_o pass_v without_o the_o malora_n as_o within_o when_o day_n light_v appear_v three_o i_o can_v not_o imagine_v our_o ship_n in_o the_o mould_n will_v have_v come_v out_o in_o the_o morning_n before_o i_o be_v engage_v because_o they_o have_v the_o copy_n of_o our_o order_n agree_v on_o at_o a_o council_n of_o war_n the_o first_o of_o march_n

according_a to_o what_o be_v endeavour_v to_o bring_v about_o and_o have_v effect_v for_o our_o advantage_n it_o please_v god_n to_o put_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o dutch_a to_o come_v out_o

before_o the_o enemy_n be_v come_v to_o lee-ward_n upon_o we_o and_o engage_v we_o contrary_a to_o reason_n and_o my_o advice_n give_v they_o in_o my_o letter_n date_v the_o day_n before_o at_o four_o
