so_o much_o violence_n against_o those_o captive_n they_o have_v take_v tell_v they_o how_o disproportionable_a it_o be_v to_o a_o good_a conscience_n which_o action_n if_o continue_v will_v make_v they_o a_o odium_fw-la to_o all_o nation_n these_o word_n seem_v as_o indeed_o they_o be_v very_o unsavou_o to_o their_o turbulent_a spirit_n for_o they_o have_v so_o much_o habituate_v themselves_o to_o villainy_n and_o bas●…ness_n that_o custom_n have_v make_v it_o too_o inherent_a for_o a_o remoall_n i_o will_v not_o expend_v so_o much_o time_n as_o to_o make_v a_o narrative_a of_o their_o

approach_v and_o our_o friend_n be_v depart_v from_o we_o we_o begin_v to_o think_v of_o rest_n wonder_v where_o they_o intend_v to_o dispose_v of_o we_o that_o night_n for_o we_o think_v that_o they_o will_v not_o trust_v we_o in_o that_o room_n without_o a_o guard_n but_o our_o admiration_n be_v quick_o convert_v in_o a_o complete_a satisfaction_n for_o before_o night_n have_v absolute_o

in_o 88_o never_o intend_v to_o impose_v more_o cruelty_n upon_o we_o then_o these_o let_v it_o satisfy_v that_o i_o know_v not_o what_o to_o call_v they_o i_o will_v therefore_o assume_v so_o much_o

they_o experimental_o to_o be_v a_o people_n of_o most_o operative_a spirit_n and_o have_v i_o a_o tragical_a design_n to_o act_v i_o shall_v as_o soon_o employ_v they_o in_o it_o provide_v it_o may_v tend_v to_o their_o gain_n as_o the_o best_a jesuit_n now_o live_v for_o i_o know_v they_o to_o be_v such_o undermine_a and_o insinuate_a people_n that_o like_o the_o crocodile_n they_o be_v most_o
