dur&s;t he looke him in the face; with divers other
pa&s;&s;ages, and at la&s;t Commanded him to depart out

Muskieters and Pikes, &s;allied out of their quarters
on <HI>Tue&s;day</HI> at night about 12. a Clocke, to fire the&s;e
two Windmills, but Sir <HI>Iohn Hotham</HI> either by ha|ving
intelligence of their intention, or by &s;eeing of
the Mills on fire, let fly &s;ome peeces of ordinance at

all their armes behind them, and the hor&s;e re|tyred
as fa&s;t after them, holding it the greate&s;t poli|cy
to &s;ave their lives by &s;uddaine flight, but they
came no more to fetch their armes they had left be|hind
them, for they heard Sir <HI>Iohn Hotham</HI> had &s;ur|prized
them, it is reported that they lo&s;t as many
armes as was worth an 100. pounds the next night
after Colonell Munroe &s;allied out in another quar|ter
