           ,
           that
           if
           they
           would

           away
           his
           life
           ,

           regarded
           it
           not
           ,
           it

           that
           he
           was
           willing
           and
           did
           much
           rejoyce
           that
           hee
           must
           goe
           the
           same
           way
           his
           Majesty
           did
           ,
           and
           it
           was
           the
           joy
           of
           his
           heart
           ,
           not
           only
           to

           many
           of
           them
           stole
           out
           of
           the
           Town
           ,
           and
           left
           some
           few
           with
           the
           inhabitants
           to
           make
           conditions
           .
           In
           the
           morning
           our
           Forces
           pursued
           and
           killed
           all
           they
           could
           light
           upon
           .
           The
           Town
           is
           a
           very
           strong
           place
           ,
           and
           I
           hope
           the
           getting
           of
           this
           Garrison
           will
           be
           of
           good
           use
           for
           the
           gaining
           of
           others
           which
           depended
           upon
           this
