take_v a_o affront_n and_o if_o the_o offence_n be_v unwilling_o give_v as_o by_o chance_n they_o be_v man_n of_o honour_n and_o merit_n will_v not_o be_v grieve_v at_o least_o not_o angry_a at_o or_o for_o it_o but_o many_o time_n a_o three_o man_n will_v make_v a_o quarrel_n betwixt_o two_o other_o and_o leave_v they_o to_o fight_v it_o out_o you_o may_v say_v that_o sometime_o quarrel_n can_v be_v avoid_v although_o they_o be_v betwixt_o two_o noble_a person_n as_o for_o example_n two_o duke_n about_o the_o pre-eminence_n of_o place_n none_o know_v which_o of_o they_o have_v the_o first_o

quarrel_n drunken_a quarrel_n be_v the_o most_o senseless_a as_o for_o the_o manner_n or_o fashion_n of_o fight_v duel_v in_o my_o opinion_n be_v not_o proper_a for_o in_o this_o age_n in_o most_o nation_n they_o fight_v private_a duel_n somewhat_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o public_a battle_n as_o three_o against_o three_o or_o at_o least_o two_o against_o two_o also_o they_o fight_v with_o pistol_n and_o sword_n with_o their_o doublet_n on_o which_o serve_v instead_o of_o a_o armour_n and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n a_o horseback_n first_o they_o shoot_v off_o their_o pistol_n

because_o they_o must_v stand_v at_o some_o distance_n to_o take_v aim_n which_o in_o my_o opinion_n appear_v cowardly_a to_o pelt_n at_o each_o other_o as_o if_o they_o be_v afraid_a to_o come_v near_o each_o other_o beside_o a_o child_n may_v have_v so_o much_o skill_n &_o courage_n as_o to_o shoot_v off_o a_o pistol_n and_o may_v chance_v to_o kill_v a_o man_n but_o a_o child_n can_v tell_v
