ground_n at_o duleek_n and_o thereabouts_o will_v say_v that_o it_o be_v scarce_o possible_a to_o make_v a_o orderly_a pursuit_n at_o such_o a_o place_n for_o whilst_o a_o enemy_n continue_v in_o a_o

a_o disorderly_a pursuit_n of_o they_o the_o pass_v therefore_o be_v so_o narrow_a and_o troublesome_a that_o before_o we_o can_v get_v over_o a_o body_n of_o man_n sufficient_a to_o attack_v the_o

where_o as_o well_o as_o they_o can_v except_o the_o rear_n who_o keep_v their_o order_n as_o far_o as_o we_o can_v see_v they_o as_o for_o his_o majesty_n himself_o he_o choose_v the_o field_n draw_v up_o his_o army_n give_v his_o general_n order_n to_o his_o officer_n and_o the_o best_a order_n wherever_o he_o be_v in_o person_n but_o the_o great_a captain_n that_o ever_o be_v or_o will_v be_v

his_o majesty_n have_v commit_v a_o considerable_a part_n of_o his_o order_n to_o the_o care_n of_o his_o general_n the_o death_n of_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o disadvantage_n to_o the_o whole_a

since_o dublin_n be_v not_o to_o be_v keep_v by_o those_o that_o be_v not_o master_n of_o the_o field_n but_o there_o be_v very_o good_a reason_n why_o this_o be_v not_o do_v for_o his_o majesty_n know_v at_o this_o time_n that_o the_o french_a fleet_n be_v hover_v nigh_o the_o english_a coast_n and_o therefore_o will_v not_o divide_v his_o army_n nor_o draw_v they_o from_o the_o sea_n nor_o do_v his_o majesty_n know_v as_o yet_o whether_o the_o irish_a will_v not_o stay_v for_o he_o between_o that_o and_o dublin_n and_o so_o fight_v again_o and_o before_o he_o be_v assure_v of_o it_o the_o news_n of_o the_o french_a fleet_n success_n at_o sea_n alter_v both_o he_o and_o the_o irish_a people_n measure_n for_o this_o put_v they_o into_o heart_n again_o especial_o when_o it_o come_v
