nation_n the_o yaios_n arwaccas_n sappaios_n &_o parago●tos_n and_o their_o enemy_n the_o charibe_n all_o inhabit_v between_o the_o river_n of_o amazon_n and_o dessequebe_n have_v make_v a_o long_a and_o dangerous_a voyage_n into_o those_o part_n to_o appease_v their_o dissension_n and_o defend_v they_o against_o the_o charibe_n or_o other_o enemy_n that_o shall_v molest_v or_o oppress_v they_o and_o now_o be_v there_o arrive_v do_v intend_v to_o make_v search_n in_o those_o country_n for_o convenient_a place_n where_o such_o of_o our_o nation_n as_o shall_v hereafter_o come_v to_o defend_v they_o may_v be_v fit_o seat_v to_o dwell_v among_o they_o that_o if_o any_o of_o those_o nation_n shall_v attempt_v at_o any_o time_n to_o disturb_v the_o quiet_a live_n of_o their_o neighbour_n

enemy_n they_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n they_o great_o desire_v and_o have_v expect_v long_o and_o now_o they_o make_v much_o doubt_n thereof_o and_o say_v they_o be_v but_o word_n have_v heretofore_o be_v lee._n promise_v the_o like_a but_o nothing_o perform_v to_o resolve_v that_o doubt_n and_o make_v good_a my_o speech_n i_o tell_v they_o that_o what_o i_o have_v speak_v shall_v
