at_o sea_n for_o if_o they_o come_v upon_o a_o ship_n they_o entangle_v the_o sail_n so_o that_o sometime_o they_o will_v lift_v it_o up_o and_o then_o let_v it_o fall_v down_o again_o sink_v it_o

all_o their_o water_n into_o it_o which_o sink_v it_o to_o right_n and_o i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o many_o ship_n that_o have_v no_o more_o be_v hear_v of_o have_v be_v lose_v by_o such_o

the_o human_a remedy_n which_o seaman_n use_v against_o spout_n be_v to_o furl_v all_o the_o sail_n and_o to_o fire_v some_o gun_n with_o shot_n against_o the_o pipe_n of_o the_o spout_n and_o that_o their_o shot_n may_v be_v sure_a to_o hit_v instead_o of_o bullet_n they_o charge_v the_o gun_n with_o a_o cross-bar-shot_a wherewith_o they_o endeavour_v to_o cut_v the_o pipe_n if_o the_o spout_n
