get_v ready_a what_o little_a force_n they_o have_v which_o consist_v in_o all_o but_o of_o ten_o ship_n of_o war_n and_o two_o fire_n ship_n with_o these_o they_o join_v we_o and_o a_o great_a many_o

believe_v all_o that_o be_v say_v it_o be_v a_o ridiculous_a story_n to_o tell_v how_o they_o be_v exalt_v with_o this_o summer_n expedition_n they_o very_o think_v the_o whole_a navy_n of_o france_n

but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o bare_a appearance_n of_o their_o ten_o ship_n that_o set_v the_o enemy_n a_o run_a and_o scour_v the_o sea_n when_o we_o come_v up_o to_o barcelona_n we_o find_v the_o

there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v do_v here_o we_o stay_v awhile_o to_o water_n and_o divert_v ourselves_o and_o then_o prepare_v for_o our_o return_n and_o by_o the_o way_n we_o put_v in_o at_o
