that_o no_o particular_a person_n dare_v to_o have_v undertake_v of_o his_o own_o head_n such_o a_o business_n the_o passport_n which_o be_v dispatch_v do_v afterward_o full_o show_v that_o all_o be_v do_v by_o the_o court_n order_n however_o the_o vaudoise_n at_o first_o refuse_v to_o hearken_v to_o this_o proposal_n whether_o they_o think_v they_o ought_v not_o to_o put_v any_o confidence_n in_o the_o promise_v make_v they_o or_o whether_o resolve_v to_o perish_v themselves_o but_o they_o will_v deliver_v their_o brethren_n out_o of_o captivity_n death_n be_v more_o sweet_a to_o they_o than_o life_n whilst_o they_o groan_v in_o their_o chain_n a_o while_n after_o this_o proposal_n be_v renew_v and_o several_a consideration_n be_v offer_v to_o oblige_v they_o to_o a_o acceptance_n they_o be_v tell_v that_o the_o duke_n of_o savoy_n have_v declare_v that_o as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v in_o arm_n the_o prisoner_n shall_v not_o be_v release_v and_o they_o be_v positive_o promise_v that_o assoon_o as_o ever_o they_o be_v depart_v their_o brethren_n shall_v be_v set_v at_o liberty_n so_o that_o the_o vaudoise_n consider_v on_o the_o one_o hand_n that_o winter_n come_v on_o and_o that_o they_o must_v expect_v no_o succour_n and_o on_o the_o other_o that_o their_o resistance_n may_v furnish_v their_o enemy_n with_o a_o pretence_n for_o the_o detain_v of_o the_o captive_n they_o thereupon_o determine_v to_o depart_v their_o country_n it_o be_v then_o agree_v and_o resolve_v they_o shall_v leave_v the_o vally_n and_o depart_v with_o their_o wife_n and_o child_n arm_n and_o baggage_n in_o two_o troop_n or_o company_n have_v their_o charge_n defray_v and_o they_o conduct_v as_o far_o as_o switzerland_n at_o two_o several_a time_n by_o one_o of_o his_o royal_a highness_n captain_n with_o sufficient_a passport_n that_o for_o the_o great_a security_n of_o the_o first_o troop_n which_o shall_v set_v out_o hostage_n shall_v be_v leave_v in_o the_o vally_n in_o the_o

into_o their_o hand_n a_o officer_n of_o his_o relation_n for_o a_o hostage_n till_o such_o time_n the_o second_o troop_n or_o company_n shall_v be_v arrive_v this_o treaty_n be_v faithful_o execute_v for_o those_o two_o company_n happy_o get_v out_o of_o the_o country_n into_o a_o place_n of_o surety_n with_o their_o arm_n and_o baggage_n under_o the_o conduct_n of_o this_o captain_n we_o must_v not_o forget_v one_o remarkable_a circumstance_n which_o be_v that_o the_o vaudoise_n will_v never_o consent_v to_o leave_v the_o country_n till_o such_o time_n as_o their_o kindred_n who_o be_v in_o prison_n be_v release_v and_o send_v to_o they_o whence_o it_o must_v be_v conclude_v that_o this_o treaty_n be_v manage_v by_o the_o court_n of_o turin_n see_v these_o captive_n can_v not_o be_v release_v but_o by_o its_o order_n the_o vaudoise_n who_o be_v in_o the_o vale_n of_o st._n martin_n do_v almost_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o those_o have_v do_v in_o the_o valley_n of_o lucerna_fw-la for_o although_o they_o be_v reduce_v at_o last_o but_o to_o 25_o man_n and_o some_o woman_n and_o child_n yet_o they_o defend_v themselves_o with_o such_o vigour_n and_o resolution_n that_o they_o also_o procure_v themselves_o pass_v to_o retire_v to_o switzerland_n with_o their_o wife_n and_o child_n arm_n and_o baggage_n we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o those_o in_o one_o valley_n know_v not_o what_o pass_v in_o the_o other_o because_o the_o army_n cut_v off_o all_o communication_n can_v they_o have_v join_v or_o hear_v of_o each_o other_o no_o doubt_n
