that_o we_o do_v not_o fight_v with_o those_o that_o will_v never_o stay_v in_o our_o view_n but_o run_v to_o rock_n and_o mountain_n in_o divide_a and_o inconsiderable_a party_n we_o be_v also_o

have_v not_o give_v his_o word_n in_o assurance_n thereof_o we_o have_v be_v force_v to_o advance_v the_o money_n before_o we_o receive_v the_o provision_n many_o promise_n be_v make_v for_o the_o

here_o our_o soldier_n have_v not_o weary_v to_o march_v with_o hungry_a belly_n both_o day_n and_o night_n when_o occasion_n require_v yet_o we_o hear_v there_o be_v some_o egyptian_a taskmaster_n

upon_o the_o other_o part_n hereford_n be_v near_o the_o enemy_n quarter_n we_o can_v be_v more_o able_a to_o annoy_v the_o enemy_n hinder_v his_o recruit_n and_o break_v his_o force_n the_o take_v
