land_n as_o fast_o as_o they_o can_v to_o quatbridge_n send_v their_o wife_n and_o child_n again_o into_o east_n england_n after_o this_o the_o king_n depart_v and_o the_o londoner_n and_o countryman_n see_v the_o dane_n be_v go_v burst_v down_o their_o holdeâ—…_n and_o get_v some_o of_o their_o ship_n back_o again_o to_o london_n and_o the_o rest_n they_o burn_v and_o break_v all_o to_o piece_n but_o here_o peradventure_o you_o will_v ask_v i_o how_o i_o shall_v come_v by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v do_v so_o many_o hundred_o year_n ago_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v long_o before_o any_o man_n that_o be_v now_o live_v can_v remember_v we_o must_v credit_v that_o our_o father_n have_v commit_v to_o writing_n concern_v the_o same_o and_o in_o my_o opinion_n the_o near_a the_o reporter_n live_v to_o those_o time_n in_o which_o the_o thing_n he_o speak_v or_o write_v of_o be_v do_v the_o more_o credit_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o he_o and_o as_o concern_v this_o matter_n it_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o report_n of_o a_o very_a ancient_a reverend_a and_o and_z learned_a writer_n namely_o asserus_fw-la menevensis_n bishop_n of_o saint_n davies_n that_o live_v in_o the_o very_a self_n same_o time_n when_o these_o thing_n be_v do_v and_o maryanus_n scotus_n who_o live_v and_o write_v a_o chronicle_n at_o least_o 500_o year_n ago_o as_o florentinus_n a_o monk_n of_o worcester_n who_o continue_v it_o do_v witness_n and_o declare_v beside_o diverse_a other_o of_o great_a antiquity_n and_o credit_n as_o henry_n of_o huntingdon_n matthew_n of_o westminster_n and_o many_o more_o who_o dâ—…e_v all_o confirm_v that_o which_o be_v before_o declare_v beside_o there_o remain_v yet_o the_o ruin_n of_o a_o old_a castle_n or_o fort_n between_o hartford_n castle_n and_o the_o mill_n which_o i_o do_v undoubted_o believe_v be_v the_o very_a self_n same_o fort_n that_o the_o dane_n build_v moreover_o o._n cross_n do_v credible_o enâ—…rine_v i_o that_o at_o y_fw-fr e_o building_n of_o stansted_n bridge_n there_o be_v find_v within_o the_o river_n piece_n of_o break_a ship_n or_o craets_n nail_n and_o other_o thing_n which_o seem_v to_o belong_v to_o some_o great_a ship_n or_o vessel_n all_o which_o thing_n consider_v together_o with_o the_o part_n of_o the_o stream_n before_o remember_v i_o think_v shall_v be_v sufficient_a to_o confirm_v your_o mind_n and_o cause_v you_o to_o believe_v that_o there_o have_v be_v ship_n at_o ware_n and_o hartford_n hereunto_o may_v be_v add_v that_o it_o be_v a_o common_a use_n of_o the_o dane_n to_o row_n or_o draw_v up_o their_o ship_n into_o some_o small_a creek_n or_o river_n where_o that_o they_o may_v ride_v all_o winter_n with_o least_o danger_n and_o time_n work_v some_o alteration_n both_o by_o water_n and_o by_o land_n y_z t_z where_o great_a river_n do_v sometime_o run_v now_o it_o be_v utterlie_o dry_a and_o in_o stead_n of_o main_a water_n we_o have_v goodly_a &_o flourish_a mead_n and_o in_o like_a sort_n where_o goodly_a city_n and_o castle_n some_o time_n do_v stand_v there_o now_o grow_v corn_n for_o example_n of_o this_o we_o need_v not_o seek_v far_o since_o y_o it_o in_o london_n not_o above_o 277._o year_n ago_o namely_o in_o the_o year_n of_o our_o lord_n 1300._o when_o henry_n waleys_n be_v mayor_n of_o the_o
