Seite 259 - The standard was blown down the same night it had been set up, by a very strong and unruly wind, and could not be fixed again in a day or two, till the tempest was allayed.
Seite 182 - I feare hee forgott it. I praye speake with Hill about it, and if hee has sent none, lett him make one with all the speede hee can possibly; for it will kill a man to serve in a whole curass. I am resolved to use nothing but back, brest, and gauntlett. If I had a pott for the hedd that were pistoll proofe, it may be I would use it, if An<J a Pot for it were light; but my whole hellmett will bee of noe use to mee at all.
