The challenge presently was accepted by _Bonny Mulgro._ The next day, both the Champions entring the Field as before, each discharging their Pistol, having no Lances, but such martial Weapons as the Defendant appointed, no hurt was done; their Battle-Axes was the next, whose piercing Bills made sometime the one, sometime the other to have scarce sense to keep their Saddles, specially the _Christian_ received such a blow, that he lost his Battle axe, and failed not much to have fallen after it, whereat the supposed conquering _Turk,_ had a great shout from the Rampires.
