nineteen_o month_n of_o that_o time_n all_o alone_a in_o a_o uneasy_a and_o disconsolate_a condition_n ☞_o when_o i_o be_v first_o bring_v prisoner_n thither_o i_o lay_v four_o month_n in_o a_o

ten_o time_n more_o seaman_n than_o they_o have_v in_o france_n but_o there_o i_o see_v twenty_o sail_n of_o ship_n of_o about_o 60_o gun_n a_o piece_n get_v ready_a in_o twenty_o day_n time_n they_o be_v bring_v in_o and_o the_o man_n discharge_v and_o upon_o a_o order_n from_o paris_n they_o be_v careen_v keel_v up_o rig_v victual_v mane_v and_o out_o again_o in_o the_o say_a time_n with_o the_o

for_o they_o be_v ready_a enough_o to_o imitate_v we_o in_o any_o thing_n for_o their_o advantage_n the_o aforesaid_a ship_n be_v so_o soon_o out_o again_o put_v i_o upon_o enquiry_n how_o the_o man_n

ship_n can_v go_v to_o sea_n without_o leave_n from_o such_o intendant_n who_o appoint_v what_o seaman_n they_o shall_v have_v and_o so_o many_o land-man_n to_o be_v train_v up_o in_o the_o french_a
