which_o be_v not_o admirable_a by_o any_o one_o thing_n but_o in_o the_o whole_a so_o little_a of_o man_n or_o nothing_o but_o whole_o and_o all_o of_o god_n yet_o we_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o acquaint_v you_o with_o the_o way_n how_o the_o lord_n bring_v it_o about_o upon_o sunday_n at_o night_n we_o receive_v some_o intelligence_n at_o innernesse_n that_o the_o enemy_n be_v advance_v

the_o governor_n of_o the_o budge_v do_v inform_v it_o be_v probable_a sudden_o to_o dispatch_v we_o at_o this_o time_n neither_o we_o nor_o any_o that_o keep_v correspondence_n with_o we_o hear_v any_o news_n from_o the_o lieutenant_n general_n and_o this_o make_v we_o think_v ourselves_o in_o some_o probable_a danger_n be_v in_o a_o very_a narrow_a place_n if_o they_o shall_v have_v enter_v rosse_n upon_o we_o not_o have_v above_o 150_o horse_n after_o consideration_n of_o our_o condition_n we_o conceive_v that_o the_o lord_n call_v for_o some_o thing_n from_o we_o in_o this_o dark_a time_n the_o enemy_n make_v themselves_o strong_a and_o get_v up_o their_o levy_n in_o several_a place_n without_o any_o resistance_n make_v we_o resolve_v to_o march_v the_o same_o night_n be_v

place_n have_v in_o that_o weak_a manner_n we_o be_v able_a seek_v the_o lord_n in_o this_o matter_n with_o freedom_n we_o resolve_v in_o the_o lord_n strength_n to_o advance_v to_o forres_n there_o our_o former_a intelligence_n be_v contradict_v we_o expect_v a_o considerable_a number_n of_o the_o gentry_n of_o mucray_n which_o much_o or_o rather_o altogether_o fail_v we_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o conceive_v it_o necessary_a to_o advance_v that_o night_n and_o if_o they_o have_v not_o cross_v spey_n to_o engage_v with_o they_o at_o balvenie-land_n though_o we_o meet_v with_o some_o more_o difficulty_n that_o way_n this_o be_v conclude_v we_o come_v on_o monday_n at_o night_n near_o rothes_n where_o we_o refresh_v three_o or_o four_o hour_n &_o there_o we_o can_v not_o be_v certain_o inform_v if_o that_o the_o water_n be_v rydable_a or_o not_o only_o we_o hear_v that_o middleton_n have_v try_v it_o and_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o yet_o be_v there_o we_o resolve_v in_o the_o lord_n strength_n to_o go_v on_o &_o march_v from_o that_o place_n early_o we_o advanvance_v towards_o the_o ford_n and_o try_v one_o ford_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v ride_v
