a_o answer_n to_o another_z letter_n from_o legorn_n to_o a_o eminent_a merchant_n in_o lond._n octob._n 29._o 1680._o sir_n i_o receive_v you_o from_o aboard_o the_o van-herring_n and_o doubtless_o there_o be_v no_o question_n to_o be_v make_v but_o the_o mahometan_n and_o algerines_n be_v as_o busy_a not_o only_o of_o our_o great_a ship_n the_o van-herring_n but_o of_o the_o lion_n rampant_a and_o the_o golden_a harp_n that_o attend_v she_o you_o make_v i_o tremble_v to_o hear_v of_o the_o contrivance_n which_o be_v among_o the_o mahometan_n to_o have_v blow_v up_o the_o captain_n and_o his_o council_n of_o officer_n in_o the_o place_n itself_o at_o what_o time_n both_o he_o and_o they_o shall_v have_v be_v meet_v together_o we_o be_v not_o also_o ignorant_a how_o they_o will_v have_v attack_v our_o single_a vessel_n with_o a_o great_a armado_n have_v no_o other_o intention_n but_o to_o destroy_v and_o sink_v she_o these_o be_v their_o villainous_a attempt_n some_o year_n ago_o but_o to_o come_v close_o to_o the_o point_n as_o you_o well_o observe_v it_o be_v but_o the_o other_o day_n that_o they_o put_v fire_n to_o the_o great_a cabin_n and_o burn_v it_o level_n with_o the_o water_n and_o indeed_o it_o bring_v such_o a_o consternation_n upon_o the_o hone_a mariner_n that_o have_v in_o all_o probability_n do_v their_o work_n have_v they_o be_v as_o nimble_a to_o second_v as_o they_o be_v to_o act_v as_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o malicious_a design_n and_o more_o particular_o of_o the_o discontent_a mariner_n that_o be_v secure_v in_o the_o gun-room_n and_o favour_v by_o the_o lieutenant_n i_o shall_v make_v no_o repetition_n thereof_o but_o tell_v you_o how_o far_o we_o may_v rational_o hope_v for_o a_o alteration_n of_o affair_n in_o our_o ship_n in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o person_n who_o be_v chief_o entrust_v with_o the_o great_a cabin_n and_o the_o two_o boatswain_n be_v such_o now_o new_o choose_v for_o which_o the_o mariner_n have_v a_o high_a respect_n as_o be_v confident_a of_o their_o great_a affection_n for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o ship_n there_o be_v one_o among_o they_o that_o have_v a_o great_a share_n in_o look_v after_o the_o great_a cabin_n for_o who_o the_o mariner_n have_v not_o so_o great_a kindness_n as_o believe_v he_o too_o much_o a_o favourer_n of_o the_o lieutenant_n design_n he_o therefore_o they_o be_v about_o to_o displace_v and_o it_o be_v think_v it_o will_v be_v speedy_o do_v for_o that_o upon_o misapprehension_n between_o the_o mariner_n and_o the_o lieutenant_n he_o will_v be_v always_o give_v sentence_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o mariner_n by_o which_o they_o think_v their_o right_n and_o privilege_n impair_v the_o grand_a council_n of_o the_o officer_n of_o the_o ship_n be_v now_o sit_v and_o be_v very_a intent_n to_o discover_v the_o designer_n and_o design_n that_o have_v be_v and_o still_o be_v against_o the_o ship_n before_o they_o sit_v the_o lieutenant_n remove_v into_o the_o lion_n rampant_a at_o which_o the_o impeach_v mariner_n that_o be_v secure_v in_o the_o gun-room_n be_v not_o a_o little_a pensive_a and_o hang_v down_o their_o head_n as_o indeed_o they_o have_v reason_n enough_o to_o do_v for_o though_o one_o of_o the_o mariner_n that_o accuse_v they_o to_o the_o captain_n be_v since_o dead_a yet_o there_o be_v another_o come_v in_o that_o have_v discover_v much_o more_o his_o testimony_n be_v somewhat_o decry_v at_o first_o by_o some_o of_o the_o lieutenant_n friend_n but_o now_o it_o be_v believe_v more_o favour_n will_v be_v show_v he_o and_o that_o credit_v be_v give_v to_o his_o oath_n that_o a_o person_n so_o much_o a_o creature_n of_o the_o mahometan_n may_v deserve_v that_o which_o do_v he_o no_o small_a kindness_n be_v this_o that_o the_o very_a first_o day_n that_o the_o grand_a council_n of_o officer_n sit_v he_o discover_v a_o very_a considerable_a mahometan_a who_o be_v walk_v in_o disguise_n upon_o the_o deck_n among_o the_o great_a officer_n in_o the_o ship_n and_o harken_v to_o their_o discourse_n but_o the_o great_a officer_n order_v he_o to_o be_v lay_v hold_n on_o insomuch_o that_o

for_o one_o of_o they_o who_o it_o be_v think_v trust_v too_o much_o to_o the_o quickness_n of_o his_o part_n and_o play_v too_o much_o upon_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o great_a plot_n against_o
