as_o we_o have_v conclude_v the_o evening_n before_o to_o perform_v it_o the_o next_o morning_n the_o viceroy_n himself_o cause_v fire_n to_o be_v put_v into_o three_o of_o the_o galleon_n so_o

be_v that_o when_o i_o come_v the_o second_o time_n within_o the_o sight_n of_o mallacca_n there_o rise_v a_o mutiny_n in_o some_o of_o the_o ship_n say_v that_o they_o will_v not_o fight_v and_o

that_o they_o say_v be_v perform_v before_o mallacca_n and_o also_o at_o capo_n rachado_n as_o they_o suppose_v the_o most_o part_n of_o they_o yield_v to_o reason_n but_o those_o of_o the_o

not_o go_v as_o they_o will_v have_v it_o and_o so_o willing_a nill_a they_o go_v on_o with_o the_o rest_n thus_o i_o go_v with_o all_o the_o ship_n to_o nisobaer_n though_o i_o intend_v to_o have_v send_v the_o white-lyon_n and_o the_o vide-admiral_n towards_o bantham_n there_o to_o take_v in_o their_o lade_n and_o the_o next_o year_n to_o be_v at_o home_n but_o the_o most_o voice_n will_v

a_o pourtugale_n ship_n and_o two_o fregatte_n that_o lie_v in_o the_o river_n where-upon_o i_o present_o send_v three_o boat_n that_o the_o same_o night_n set_v those_o three_o ship_n on_o fire_n after_o that_o the_o maleye_n have_v take_v the_o good_n unwares_o out_o of_o they_o for_o i_o charge_v my_o man_n to_o take_v nothing_o from_o thence_o there_o i_o take_v a_o praw_n come_v from_o

they_o and_o join_v with_o they_o the_o nine_o of_o december_n we_o get_v to_o paulo_n bouton_n and_o see_v the_o armado_n which_o no_o soon_o perceive_v we_o but_o they_o retire_v to_o a_o place_n where_o they_o have_v stream_n and_o wind_n to_o their_o advantage_n and_o make_v themselves_o fast_o with_o four_o cable_n before_o and_o behind_o and_o with_o a_o cable_n that_o reach_v from_o the_o

i_o send_v diverse_a ship_n unto_o they_o but_o can_v do_v nothing_o then_o we_o prepare_v a_o fire_n ship_n think_v under_o the_o shot_n of_o our_o cannon_n to_o get_v near_o they_o but_o it_o will_v not_o be_v they_o have_v place_v all_o their_o canon_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o in_o the_o midst_n all_o along_o their_o ship_n they_o have_v lay_v tree_n and_o pipe_n fill_v up_o with_o sand_n

enough_o if_o by_o burn_v of_o two_o of_o their_o ship_n they_o burn_v one_o of_o we_o for_o the_o king_n care_v not_o for_o his_o ship_n so_o he_o may_v thereby_o find_v the_o mean_n to_o hinder_v
