a_o true_a and_o impartial_a relation_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n concern_v the_o proceed_n of_o several_a counsel_n of_o war_n against_o w._n tompson_n a_o free_a commoner_n of_o england_n which_o

which_o i_o be_o altogether_o ignorant_a of_o when_o i_o be_v free_a and_o be_v enrage_v and_o in_o the_o heat_n of_o my_o blood_n i_o confess_v fetch_v my_o rapier_n my_o man_n and_o one_o of_o my_o

than_o reason_n i_o draw_v my_o rapier_n and_o there_o be_v some_o blow_n on_o both_o side_n and_o i_o think_v some_o few_o drop_n of_o blood_n be_v draw_v and_o one_o of_o they_o show_v a_o little_a
