of_o our_o house_n be_v burn_v and_o short_o i_o must_v tell_v a_o long_a tale_n than_o this_o of_o this_o ungodly_a pangean_a what_o trouble_v he_o put_v both_o the_o king_n and_o we_o to_o and_o how_o in_o the_o end_n he_o be_v banish_v among_o all_o these_o sorrowful_a and_o troublesome_a discourse_n it_o happen_v that_o certain_a chyneses_n which_o dwell_v hard_o under_o our_o pale_n do_v

night_n and_o day_n have_v always_o a_o regard_n to_o it_o in_o the_o night_n this_o be_v a_o fit_a place_n for_o she_o to_o hide_v she_o in_o get_v behind_o the_o door_n so_o far_o as_o she_o can_v stand_v for_o heat_n and_o her_o husband_n will_v have_v seek_v all_o javan_a &_o china_n before_o he_o will_v or_o dare_v come_v thither_o to_o seek_v in_o the_o night_n after_o our_o watch_n be_v set_v one_o of_o our_o man_n go_v into_o our_o backside_n the_o which_o place_n we_o do_v all_o very_a much_o frequent_a night_n and_o day_n but_o as_o he_o be_v come_v back_o and_o be_v a_o little_a

long_o he_o present_o swear_v a_o great_a oath_n a_o woman_n or_o the_o devil_n in_o the_o likeness_n of_o a_o woman_n for_o it_o be_v very_o strange_a to_o see_v such_o cattle_n within_o the_o

by_o dark_a and_o afterwards_o with_o some_o light_n for_o fear_v still_o of_o fire_n work_v when_o no_o thing_n can_v be_v find_v i_o threaten_v down_o the_o admiral_n man_n that_o watch_v there_o that_o they_o have_v bring_v in_o their_o whore_n the_o which_o they_o all_o forswear_v then_o i_o threaten_v our_o own_o man_n who_o swear_v likewise_o to_o the_o contrary_a but_o i_o not_o satisfy_v yet_o and_o purpose_v to_o know_v the_o truth_n lock_v she_o up_o in_o a_o porch_n all_o night_n &_o take_v the_o key_n with_o i_o also_o i_o g●ue_v the_o watch_n both_o javans_n and_o englishman_n a_o charge_n to_o walk_v before_o the_o door_n the_o which_o they_o do_v and_o to_o look_v well_o out_o round_o about_o the_o house_n for_o fear_v of_o some_o villainy_n i_o be_v never_o so_o vex_v in_o my_o life_n with_o a_o woman_n although_o i_o think_v many_o a_o good_a man_n have_v i_o consider_v of_o it_o in_o the_o night_n think_v it_o may_v very_o well_o be_v as_o the_o woman_n say_v and_o know_v again_o that_o it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a thing_n for_o the_o chynese_n to_o beat_v their_o wife_n especial_o she_o be_v a_o cuchinchina_fw-la woman_n which_o have_v no_o friend_n in_o

but_o in_o my_o conceit_n he_o need_v no_o more_o plague_n or_o punishment_n then_o such_o a_o wife_n wherefore_o i_o present_o dismiss_v they_o both_o yet_o this_o man_n be_v not_o so_o ill_o match_v
