of_o honour_n in_o holland_n they_o have_v hazard_v their_o life_n and_o spend_v some_o blood_n to_o gain_v a_o perfect_a knowledge_n in_o all_o warlike_a discipline_n yet_o i_o prefer_v they_o not_o as_o man_n of_o great_a ability_n much_o less_o loyalty_n than_o the_o other_o captain_n but_o antiquity_n of_o service_n ought_v to_o have_v some_o pre-eminence_n you_o may_v inform_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o captain_n who_o mind_n you_o have_v deliver_v that_o i_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v man_n not_o inferior_a to_o those_o in_o courage_n but_o as_o know_v as_o full_a of_o heroic_a spirit_n as_o the_o other_o captain_n and_o will_v do_v as_o far_o in_o the_o defence_n of_o their_o country_n as_o the_o other_o yet_o since_o they_o and_o the_o other_o can_v serve_v both_o in_o the_o same_o
