you_o in_o this_o that_o the_o whole_a happen_v as_o we_o be_v inform_v to_o wit_n that_o above_o nyntie_a inglish_n partly_o captain_n spain_n and_o officer_n and_o partly_o merchant_n and_o common_a soldier_n who_o have_v be_v very_o resolute_a a_o long_a time_n in_o their_o religion_n and_o have_v oftentimes_o affirm_v to_o the_o adelantado_n their_o general_n and_o other_o captain_n and_o

inglish_n father_n or_o two_o of_o this_o side_n they_o offer_v all_o most_o willing_o to_o change_v their_o opinion_n and_o become_v catholic_n and_o that_o at_o such_o a_o time_n when_o as_o they_o see_v themselves_o out_o of_o all_o dainger_n if_o they_o will_v have_v continue_v in_o the_o contrary_a for_o that_o they_o have_v now_o this_o king_n warrant_v both_o for_o their_o life_n and_o liberty_n and_o that_o the_o inquisition_n shall_v in_o no_o wise_a touch_n they_o for_o their_o religion_n which_o i_o do_v ad_fw-la to_o the_o end_n you_o may_v not_o think_v parchance_o that_o they_o do_v it_o for_o fear_n but_o rather_o of_o their_o own_o free_a will_v and_o election_n profess_v themselves_o with_o tear_n and_o extend_a hand_n as_o here_o most_o credible_o it_o be_v tell_v
