with_o their_o horse_n in_o a_o orderly_a way_n the_o enemy_n have_v resolve_v to_o give_v we_o battle_n and_o no_o whit_n doubt_v of_o the_o victory_n they_o be_v more_o than_o we_o be_v both_o in_o

which_o they_o do_v by_o reason_n that_o his_o excellency_n have_v not_o timely_a intelligence_n of_o their_o design_n otherwise_o we_o be_v much_o near_o the_o hill_n and_o may_v have_v be_v

the_o enemy_n foot_n be_v come_v down_o the_o hill_n their_o horse_n have_v get_v down_o most_o of_o they_o on_o their_o right_a hand_n and_o place_v themselves_o in_o a_o fair_a meadow_n at_o the_o

the_o hill_n and_o there_o draw_v up_o their_o army_n very_o handsome_o their_o horse_n be_v on_o their_o right_a wing_n for_o the_o most_o part_n and_o their_o dragooner_n and_o some_o few_o troop_n
