thereupon_o determine_v to_o depart_v their_o country_n it_o be_v then_o agree_v and_o resolve_v they_o shall_v leave_v the_o vally_n and_o depart_v with_o their_o wife_n and_o child_n arm_n and_o

for_o those_o two_o company_n happy_o get_v out_o of_o the_o country_n into_o a_o place_n of_o surety_n with_o their_o arm_n and_o baggage_n under_o the_o conduct_n of_o this_o captain_n we_o must_v

for_o although_o they_o be_v reduce_v at_o last_o but_o to_o 25_o man_n and_o some_o woman_n and_o child_n yet_o they_o defend_v themselves_o with_o such_o vigour_n and_o resolution_n that_o they_o also_o procure_v themselves_o pass_v to_o retire_v to_o switzerland_n with_o their_o wife_n and_o child_n arm_n and_o baggage_n we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o those_o in_o one_o valley_n know_v
