the_o wind_n and_o tide_n be_v short_a of_o surrat_n twenty_o league_n and_o in_o the_o interim_n fit_v our_o ship_n for_o fight_v which_o do_v weary_a and_o tire_v our_o man_n and_o the_o two_o

great_a armado_n contain_v seven_o great_a galloon_n and_o twenty_o four_o sail_n of_o frigate_n so_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v espy_v we_o they_o all_o weigh_v anchor_n set_v sail_n towards_o we_o

other_o great_a galoon_n with_o twenty_o four_o frigate_n we_o do_v suppose_v and_o conclude_v that_o the_o portugal_n have_v another_o fleet_n and_o have_v take_v swallow_n hole_n or_o road_n where_o we_o lade_v and_o unlade_v our_o ship_n because_o they_o have_v two_o vice_n admiral_n which_o be_v a_o great_a policy_n of_o the_o portugal_n and_o send_v one_o of_o our_o man_n up_o into_o the_o

portugal_n have_v challenge_v to_o fight_v with_o so_o that_o the_o dutch_a think_v themselves_o too_o weak_a to_o fight_v with_o the_o portugal_n but_o captain_n kerredge_n then_o be_v president_n at_o surrat_n he_o will_v have_v come_v out_o with_o the_o jonah_n alone_o to_o help_v we_o but_o that_o he_o be_v persuade_v to_o the_o contrary_a by_o the_o english_a and_o dutch_a so_o we_o tack_v

they_o like_o brave_a gallant_a soldier_n give_v the_o enemy_n three_o broad_a side_n for_o their_o one_o and_o about_o four_o a_o clock_n we_o shoot_v down_o the_o admiral_n main_a top_n mast_n at_o
