  1 It seems John was in the Tent, but hearing them call he steps out, and taking the Gun upon his Shoulder, talk’d to them as if he had been the Centinel plac’d there upon the Guard by some Officer that was his Superior.

  1 This frighted the Constable and the People that were with him, that they immediately chang’d their Note.

  2 They had but one Horse among them.

  1 Here he call’d to one of his Men, and bade him order Capt. Richard and his People to March the Lower Way on the side of the Marshes, and meet them in the Forest; which was all a Sham, for they had no Captain Richard, or any such Company.

  1 That Part of the River where the Ships lye up when they come Home, is call’d the Pool, and takes in all the River on both Sides of the Water, from the Tower to Cuckold’s Point, and Lime-house.
