with_o my_o intend_a brevity_n in_o set_v down_o such_o observables_n as_o i_o meet_v with_o nor_o have_v i_o give_v myself_o any_o great_a trouble_n since_o my_o return_n to_o compare_v my_o discovery_n with_o those_o of_o other_o the_o rather_o because_o shall_v it_o so_o happen_v that_o i_o have_v describe_v some_o place_n or_o thing_n which_o other_o have_v do_v before_o i_o yet_o in_o

the_o main_a of_o this_o voyage_n have_v its_o scene-laid_a in_o long_a tract_n of_o the_o remote_a part_n both_o of_o the_o east_n and_o west_n indies_n some_o of_o which_o very_o seldom_o visit_v by_o english_a man_n and_o other_o as_o rare_o by_o any_o european_n i_o may_v without_o vanity_n encourage_v the_o reader_n to_o expect_v many_o thing_n whole_o new_a to_o he_o and_o many_z other_o more_z full_o describe_v than_o he_o may_v have_v see_v elsewhere_o for_o which_o not_o only_o this_o voyage_n though_o itself_o of_o many_o year_n continuance_n but_o also_o several_a former_a long_a and_o distant_a voyage_n have_v qualify_v i_o as_o for_o the_o action_n of_o the_o company_n among_o who_o i_o make_v the_o great_a part_n of_o this_o voyage_n a_o thread_n of_o which_o i_o have_v carry_v on_o through_o it_o it_o be_v not_o to_o divert_v the_o reader_n with_o they_o that_o i_o mention_v they_o much_o less_o that_o i_o take_v any_o pleasure_n in_o relate_v they_o but_o for_o method_n sake_n and_o for_o the_o reader_n satisfaction_n who_o can_v not_o so_o well_o acquiesce_v in_o my_o description_n of_o place_n etc._n etc._n without_o know_v the_o particular_a traverse_n i_o make_v among_o they_o nor_o in_o these_o without_o a_o account_n of_o the_o concomitant_a circumstance_n beside_o that_o i_o will_v not_o prejudice_v the_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n of_o my_o relation_n though_o by_o omission_n only_o and_o as_o for_o the_o traverse_n themselves_o they_o make_v for_o the_o reader_n advantage_n how_o little_a soever_o for_o i_o since_o thereby_o i_o have_v be_v the_o better_a enable_v to_o gratify_v his_o curiosity_n as_o one_o who_o ramble_n about_o a_o country_n can_v give_v usual_o a_o better_a account_n of_o it_o than_o a_o carrier_n who_o jog_v on_o to_o his_o inn_n without_o ever_o go_v out_o of_o his_o road._n as_o to_o my_o style_n it_o can_v be_v expect_v that_o a_o seaman_n shall_v affect_v politeness_n for_o be_v i_o able_a to_o do_v it_o yet_o i_o think_v i_o shall_v be_v little_o solicitous_a about_o it_o in_o a_o work_n of_o this_o nature_n i_o have_v frequent_o indeed_o divest_v myself_o of_o sea_n phrase_n to_o gratify_v the_o land_n reader_n for_o which_o the_o seaman_n will_v hardly_o forgive_v i_o and_o yet_o possible_o i_o shall_v not_o seem_v complaisant_a enough_o to_o the_o other_o because_o i_o still_o retain_v the_o use_n of_o so_o many_o sea-term_n i_o confess_v i_o have_v not_o be_v at_o all_o scrupulous_a in_o this_o matter_n either_o as_o to_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o of_o these_o for_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o if_o what_o i_o say_v be_v intelligible_a it_o matter_n not_o great_o in_o what_o word_n it_o be_v express_v for_o the_o same_o reason_n i_o have_v not_o be_v curious_a as_o to_o the_o spell_a of_o the_o name_n of_o place_n plant_n fruit_n animal_n etc._n etc._n which_o in_o many_o of_o these_o remote_a part_n be_v give_v at_o the_o pleasure_n of_o traveller_n and_o vary_v according_a to_o their_o different_a humour_n neither_o have_v i_o confine_v myself_o to_o such_o name_n as_o be_v give_v by_o learned_a author_n or_o so_o much_o as_o inquire_v after_o many_o of_o they_o i_o write_v for_o my_o countryman_n and_o have_v therefore_o for_o the_o most_o part_n use_v such_o name_n as_o be_v familiar_a to_o our_o english_a seaman_n
