without_o aim_v at_o any_o thing_n but_o the_o public_a good_n they_o employ_v the_o next_o three_o part_n of_o their_o day_n in_o their_o garden_n which_o they_o cultivate_v with_o such_o art_n and_o skill_n as_o be_v unknown_a in_o europe_n they_o know_v how_o to_o give_v such_o a_o agreeable_a sweetness_n to_o their_o fruit_n by_o water_v their_o tree_n with_o certain_a liquor_n that_o nothing_o

already_o show_v but_o there_o seldom_o pass_v a_o day_n but_o they_o propose_v some_o new_a invention_n upon_o which_o they_o always_o take_v care_n to_o register_n the_o name_n of_o the_o inventor_n in_o their_o book_n of_o public_a curiosity_n which_o they_o esteem_v one_o of_o the_o great_a honour_n can_v be_v do_v they_o and_o in_o 32_o year_n time_n i_o observe_v above_o 5000_o of_o these_o new_a invention_n record_v that_o will_v pass_v for_o so_o many_o prodigy_n among_o we_o their_o second_o exercise_n consist_v in_o manage_v two_o sort_n of_o arm_n one_o of_o which_o be_v very_o like_o our_o halberd_n and_o the_o other_o resemble_v much_o our_o organ-pipe_n they_o use_v the_o former_a with_o great_a agility_n but_o yet_o not_o with_o altogether_o so_o much_o dexterity_n as_o our_o european_n their_o halberd_n be_v so_o massy_a and_o strong_a that_o they_o will_v easy_o run_v through_o the_o body_n of_o six_o man_n one_o behind_o another_o they_o be_v make_v of_o six_o piece_n of_o wood_n season_v with_o sea-water_n impregnate_v with_o some_o certain_a drug_n which_o render_v they_o very_o hard_o and_o yet_o very_a light_n the_o other_o arm_n which_o i_o have_v compare_v to_o our_o organ-pipe_n be_v compose_v of_o ten_o or_o twelve_o pipe_n which_o be_v furnish_v with_o certain_a spring_n at_o one_o end_n which_o be_v let_v go_v discharge_v bullet_n with_o so_o great_a a_o force_n that_o they_o pierce_v through_o the_o body_n of_o six_o man_n one_o after_o another_o at_o one_o shot_n the_o action_n of_o which_o spring_n be_v so_o quick_a and_o rapid_a that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o fence_v off_o its_o blow_n but_o man_n find_v themselves_o shoot_v before_o they_o be_v aware_a they_o be_v aim_v at_o as_o for_o their_o halberd_n they_o exercise_v they_o in_o throw_v thirty_o or_o forty_o pace_n and_o that_o so_o dextrous_o that_o in_o fifteen_o throw_n they_o seldom_o miss_v twice_o of_o their_o mark_n but_o their_o strength_n be_v much_o more_o prodigious_a than_o their_o art_n for_o they_o carry_v without_o strain_v themselves_o to_o the_o weight_n of_o six_o or_o seven_o quintal_n or_o hundred_o weight_n and_o pull_v up_o tree_n by_o the_o root_n which_o we_o can_v hardly_o shake_v &_o i_o see_v one_o of_o they_o that_o after_o he_o have_v run_v through_o with_o his_o halberd_n four_o half_a man_n as_o they_o call_v we_o carry_v they_o afterward_o upon_o one_o of_o his_o shoulder_n hang_v upon_o his_o halberd_n two_o before_o and_o two_o behind_z their_o three_o exercise_n consist_v in_o throw_v certain_a ball_n of_o three_o or_o four_o different_a size_n some_o of_o which_o they_o throw_v up_o into_o the_o air_n and_o some_o at_o butt_n or_o mark_n those_o which_o they_o cast_v into_o the_o air_n to_o be_v well_o throw_v must_v hit_v one_o another_o in_o a_o certain_a point_n mark_v out_o and_o those_o which_o be_v cast_v against_o butt_n must_v pass_v through_o a_o hole_n in_o the_o say_a butt_n which_o they_o will_v often_o do_v ten_o or_o twelve_o time_n together_o and_o that_o which_o be_v most_o to_o be_v remark_v in_o these_o exercise_n be_v that_o they_o perform_v they_o with_o much_o

one_o at_o another_o be_v like_o our_o tennis-ball_n but_o soft_a and_o less_o dangerous_a and_o the_o art_n of_o he_o that_o throw_v they_o consist_v in_o hit_v he_o against_o who_o he_o play_v and_o his_o adversary_n on_o the_o other_o side_n places_z all_o his_o skill_n in_o avoid_v the_o stroke_n aim_v at_o he_o and_o the_o pleasure_n of_o see_v they_o be_v so_o great_a that_o there_o be_v

they_o turn_v and_o bend_v their_o body_n so_o many-several_a way_n that_o there_o be_v no_o rope-dancer_n or_o tumbler_n among_o we_o can_v come_v near_o they_o for_o agility_n when_o he_o that_o
