the_o rot_a bottom_n thereof_o for_o the_o cry_v of_o friend_n be_v mighty_o against_o thou_o and_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o pull_v a_o horrible_a vengeance_n upon_o thy_o head._n therefore_o i_o

that_o if_o thou_o keep_v they_o there_o till_o doomsday_n friend_n will_v not_o bow_v their_o knee_n to_o thou_o nor_o to_o thy_o baal_n who_o thou_o after_o a_o most_o idolatrous_a manner_n set_v up_o nay_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o thou_o will_v find_v friend_n rather_o willing_a to_o bear_v their_o testimony_n unto_o the_o death_n than_o to_o submit_v to_o thy_o lewd_a and_o idolatrous_a

almost_o three_o day_n in_o this_o boisterous_a place_n before_o we_o get_v off_o and_o then_o the_o sea_n calm_v and_o the_o wind_n become_v gentle_a all_o of_o a_o sudden_a which_o seem_v as_o if_o we_o have_v leave_v all_o our_o trouble_n behind_o on_o the_o shore_n of_o europe_n and_o that_o we_o have_v now_o past_a the_o storm_n of_o adversity_n and_o be_v go_v to_o enjoy_v peace_n light_a and_o tranquillity_n among_o the_o better_a nature_a inhabitant_n of_o the_o forest_n of_o noddyland_n for_o though_o at_o our_o first_o land_v we_o may_v find_v they_o somewhat_o rough_a and_o

with_o those_o of_o that_o new-found_a country_n will_v soon_o beget_v a_o mutual_a amity_n among_o we_o and_o reconcile_v they_o to_o so_o agreeable_a conversation_n we_o continue_v our_o course_n through_o a_o vast_a unbounded_a ocean_n abound_v with_o divers_a sort_n of_o strange_a fish_n some_o whereof_o have_v wing_n and_o fly_v above_o the_o water_n these_o we_o think_v may_v resemble_v friend_n for_o that_o which_o occasion_v these_o fish_n to_o fly_v be_v to_o avoid_v the_o devour_a jaw_n of_o certain_a great_a fish_n that_o hunt_v after_o they_o upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o water_n and_o then_o they_o will_v of_o a_o sudden_a spring_n up_o and_o convey_v themselves_o in_o the_o air_n to_o a_o far_o distant_a place_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v preserve_v we_o also_o see_v divers_a of_o the_o great_a fish_n call_v porpoise_n who_o with_o great_a and_o indefatigable_a eagerness_n be_v still_o in_o pursuit_n of_o their_o prey_n and_o these_o seem_v unto_o we_o to_o represent_v our_o adversary_n the_o informer_n apparitor_n and_o proctor_n who_o often_o suck_v in_o whole_a shoal_n of_o friend_n stow_v they_o in_o the_o nasty_a maw_n of_o their_o prison-house_n unless_o like_o the_o fly_a fish_n friend_n get_v on_o wing_n to_o avoid_v their_o greedy_a chase_n one_o night_n in_o our_o passage_n susanna_n dream_v that_o the_o whore_n of_o babylon_n have_v
