as_o our_o frame_n be_v finish_v i_o take_v opportunity_n and_o show_v they_o a_o pair_n of_o heel_n take_v my_o way_n over_o the_o mountain_n intend_v to_o go_v for_o argire_n but_o present_o there_o be_v great_a store_n of_o man_n both_o on_o horseback_n and_o one_o foot_n who_o be_v more_o perfect_a in_o the_o way_n than_o i_o be_v quick_o overtake_v i_o &_o carry_v i_o back_o again_o to_o cookooe_n i_o be_v present_o bring_v before_o the_o king_n who_o ask_v i_o why_o i_o run_v away_o i_o tell_v he_o to_o have_v liberty_n then_o he_o call_v certain_a of_o his_o servant_n to_o he_o and_o command_v they_o to_o lay_v i_o down_o at_o his_o foot_n which_o four_o of_o they_o do_v and_o lay_v i_o flat_a upon_o the_o belly_n one_o of_o they_o give_v i_o 75_o stripe_n with_o a_o great_a

i_o in_o iron_n and_o there_o leave_v i_o where_o i_o remain_v for_o the_o space_n of_o two_o month_n bearer_n then_o be_v i_o bring_v forth_o of_o prison_n &_o send_v daily_o to_o a_o fountain_n or_o well_o about_o half_a a_o league_n from_o the_o town_n to_o fetch_v water_n with_o a_o couple_n of_o ass_n for_o y_fw-es e_fw-es use_v of_o the_o king_n house_n now_o in_o this_o time_n many_o artificer_n as_o smith_n joynce_n and_o carpenter_n and_o many_o other_o come_v to_o i_o to_o understand_v the_o fashion_n of_o many_o english_a tool_n as_o plane_n iron_n goudge_n chissel_v and_o such_o like_a for_o which_o they_o show_v i_o some_o favour_n and_o give_v i_o some_o money_n and_o when_o i_o have_v get_v a_o little_a money_n i_o bestow_v it_o upon_o apparel_n and_o cause_v it_o to_o be_v make_v like_a to_o they_o which_o i_o carry_v secret_o when_o i_o go_v to_o fetch_v water_n and_o do_v hide_v it_o in_o a_o dry_a cave_n under_o the_o side_n of_o a_o rock_n i_o buy_v i_o likewise_o a_o sword_n and_o a_o lance_n such_o as_o they_o use_v to_o travail_v with_o i_o also_o provide_v a_o file_n all_o which_o i_o lay_v up_o with_o my_o apparel_n it_o happen_v that_o the_o king_n of_o abbess_n come_v again_o to_o visit_v the_o king_n and_o to_o take_v counsel_n about_o warlike_a affair_n as_o usual_o they_o do_v wherefore_o when_o they_o hear_v of_o his_o come_n make_v great_a preparation_n for_o he_o it_o fall_v out_o so_o that_o there_o want_v water_n in_o the_o office_n where_o in_o a_o evening_n there_o be_v exceed_a thunder_n and_o rain_v and_o lightning_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n will_v go_v for_o water_n but_o every_o one_o call_v for_o the_o englishman_n then_o i_o which_o dare_v say_v no_o nay_o take_v the_o vessel_n and_o hang_v they_o upon_o the_o ass_n and_o so_o go_v through_o rain_n and_o wind_n and_o thunder_n and_o all_o till_o i_o come_v to_o the_o well_o where_o i_o leave_v my_o ass_n to_o wander_v whither_o they_o will_v and_o go_v to_o my_o apparel_n and_o with_o my_o file_n cut_v off_o my_o iron_n and_o make_v i_o ready_a in_o my_o suit_n of_o moor_n clothing_n and_o with_o my_o sword_n by_o my_o side_n and_o my_o lance_n on_o my_o shoulder_n take_v my_o way_n once_o again_o towards_o argire_n and_o that_o night_n i_o go_v about_o twenty_o mile_n over_o rock_n and_o mountain_n keep_v myself_o out_o of_o beat_a way_n cast_v my_o way_n by_o the_o moon_n and_o star_n when_o the_o day_n begin_v to_o be_v light_a i_o lay_v i_o down_o in_o a_o brake_n of_o thick_a bush_n and_o there_o i_o sleep_v the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o day_n and_o in_o the_o evening_n i_o begin_v to_o travel_v forth_o on_o my_o way_n now_o on_o the_o three_o night_n i_o be_v to_o pass_v a_o bridge_n where_o be_v continual_a watch_n and_o

i_o use_v no_o delay_n but_o enter_v the_o bridge_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o night_n about_o nine_o of_o the_o clock_n be_v in_o great_a doubt_n of_o the_o watch_n but_o at_o the_o first_o end_n of_o the_o bridge_n i_o see_v no_o man_n until_o i_o be_v happy_o pass_v over_o than_o there_o come_v one_o after_o i_o and_o ask_v who_o go_v there_o it_o be_v somewhat_o dark_a and_o i_o in_o apparel_n and_o with_o my_o weapon_n like_o a_o moor_n of_o their_o country_n answer_v bold_o that_o i_o be_v a_o friend_n and_o tell_v he_o i_o be_v come_v to_o the_o governor_n to_o deliver_v
