no_o bread_n hardly_o to_o be_v have_v for_o any_o money_n by_o this_o i_o do_v conjecture_v that_o they_o have_v in_o their_o country_n a_o lying-oracle_n and_o that_o truth_n to_o they_o be_v a_o

a_o piece_n of_o bread_n and_o a_o small_a bit_n of_o mutton_n with_o beverage_n but_o so_o small_a be_v the_o quantity_n of_o mutton_n that_o one_o man_n may_v very_o well_o have_v eat_v twenty_o man_n share_n so_o that_o of_o that_o little_a they_o give_v bread_n be_v nine_o part_n in_o ten_o of_o our_o provision_n the_o rest_n be_v not_o worth_a the_o name_n our_o beverage_n be_v sometime_o pretty_a good_a in_o those_o place_n where_o they_o can_v get_v no_o bad_a wine_n but_o many_o time_n it_o be_v worse_a than_o water_n for_o supper_n they_o give_v we_o bread_n and_o beverage_n and_o the_o water_n they_o boil_v their_o rusty-pork_n in_o under_o the_o name_n of_o bon-supper_n this_o be_v our_o fare_n so_o here_o we_o sleep_v this_o night_n also_o in_o the_o same_o stable_a on_o
