Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.
Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors.
EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

THE

TO
THE

MY
Author
for
his
Love
,
his
Cost
,
and
vertuous
〈◊〉
,
Desires
but
Love
for
love
of
you
his
Cour●…eous
Reader
;
Whose
Nature
bountifull
,
I
need
not
,
(
nor
is
't
my
intent
)
Here
t'
unfold
;
being
knowne
to
all
to
be
magnificent
;
The
smaller
that
I
seeme
in
worth
,
the
greater
is
the
praise
Of
love
in
him
,
whose
bounteous
deeds
transcend
desert
alwayes
.
Greatnesse
will
shew
greatnesse
ever
,
and
what
so
great
as
love
?
Or
what
so
much
as
guifts
(
of
Grace
)
doth
this
grand
vertue
prove
?
If

Make

TO
THE
READER
.
Courteous
Reader
.
IT
is
not
so
old
as
true
,
that
Truth
seekes
(
nay
brooks
)
no
Corners
,
though
Charity
doth
;
for
(
in
a
word
)
to
prove
them
both
legitimate
,
it
is
as
bold
(
with
Discretion
)
as
the
other
is
modestly
bashfull
;
it
may
(
for
a
time
)
be
blamed
,
but
never
shamed
;
suspected
,
but
not
quite
deiected
;
trodden
on
,
but
not
destroyed
;
eclipsed
,
but
not
extinguisht
;
no
,
't
will
rise
,
and
shine
foorth
againe
;
comparable
it
is
,
and
alike
effectuall
to
the
glorious
Sunne
,
commanding
his
entrance
(
vpon
least
advantage
)
through
the
thickest
Clouds
into
the
darkest
Dungeon
;
where
a
good
sight
receives
his
light
at
a
little
hole
,
and
reioyceth
in
it
.
This
short
Treatise
following
(
in
part
)
expounds
my
meaning
,
being
of
a
Voyage
I
made
vnto
the
EastIndi●…s
almost
twenty
yeares
since
,
imployed
by
the
Honorable
Company
;
prosperously
begun
,
and
as
well
continued
(
notwithstanding
some
prime
opposition
)
with
all
good
proceeding
in
grace
and
favor
with
the
best
;
which
at
length
(
as
hath
hapned
vnto
many
of
best
report
)
vpon
〈◊〉
of
government
there
,
proved
to
my
greater
preiudice
,
but
how
?
Is
no
par
cell
of
this
discourse
;
yet
notwithstanding
,
seeing
that
by
one
finger
the
whole
hand
may
be
proportioned
,
and
by
the
foot
the
entyre
body
drawne
out
;
I
held
it
requisite
(
for
good
respects
)
this
way
to
declare
my selfe
,
and
at
this
time
especially
;
as
high
time
(
among
many
other
observations
more
generall
&
delightfull
)
in
such
briefe
passages
as
seemd
to
me
most
considerable
,
and
(
without
all
offence
or
prolixity
vnto
any
)
to
my
purpose
materiall
;
that
the
honourable
Company
themselues
,
or
any
else
of
iudgment
(
with
content
and
pleasure
in
the
sweete
variety
,
and
milde
composure
of
matter
)
might
from
thence
(
accidently
,
or
by
the
way
onely
)
make
a
neere
coniecture
at
the
true
cause
of
my
neglect
there
,
&
vntimely
departure
thence
,
to
their
preiudize
as
my
own
,
which
here
(
in
modesty
)
I
silence
.
Hauing
finished
my
Travayles
,
I
made
bold
(
in
a
plaine
Epistle
)
to
dedicate
them
vnto
the
Honourable
Companie
,
as
most
convenient
me
thought
;
but
it
pleased
them
not
to
accept
thereof
,
for
reasons
to
themselues
best
knowne
;
which
I
suppose
(
for
I
hope
the
best
)
they
might
intend
,
(
or
it
may
so
fall
out
)
to
my
aduantage
;
for
looke
how
many
courteous
Readers
,
both
of
themselues
and
others
(
to
whom
in
generall
I
make
my
Dedi●…ation
)
so
many
generous
Patrons
;
not
with
sword
and
speare
,
but
with
faire
speech
to
countenance
,
or
excuse
these
my
honest
(
though
not
much
profitable
)
labours
;
for
gentle
deeds
and
words
(
more
then
staues
or
swords
)
preuaile
with
men
.
It
was
so
full
of
loue
,
my
lost
Dedication
I
mean
(
breifly
preferd
to
all
other
graces
,
as
holding
the
precedent
roome
in
euery
grace
and
vertue
,
morall
and
diuine

compared
likewise
to

,

gold

,

vndervallued

vnto
him

,
in

this
divine
Grace
of

dwelleth

(

for

my

,
or
improper
digression

that
it
grieues
me
(
gentle
Reader
)
so
rich
an
ingemination
should
be
lost
,
rich
(
at

)
in
my
owne
conceite

fondlings

have

fancies

lost

(
I
say
)
from

with
my selfe
it
shall
remaine
a
perpetuall
memoriall
of
my
constant
loue
,
and
due
respect
towards
them
for
euer
,
in
whose
honourable
imployments
I
improued
my
slender
partes
to
my
low
degree
of
a
meane
sufficiency
.
My
History
it selfe
(
courteous
Reader
)
,
here
at

attends
thy
leasure
,
and
craues
thy
patience
,

(
at

CAlling
to
minde
my
former
Travels
,
and
the
fit
Occasion
offered
me
thereby
,
a
little
to
communicate
my selfe
vnto
the
world
,
by
a
briefe
relation
of
such
short
passages
and
observations
therein
taken
,
as
may
minister
matter
of
some
Recreation
to
the
vniuersall
Reader
,
from
his
more
serious
studies
and
affaires
of
importance
,
be
they
whatsoever
;
variety
or
change
(
though
in
the
meanest
of
thinges
not
vnlawfull
)
with
some
Novelties
especially
,
being
that
(
saith
experience
)
which
in
all
,
or
in
most
men
begets
delight
,
aliuiates
the
mindes
of
the
wisest
,
and
prepares
them
(
vpon
a
returne
)
with
aduantage
,
to
a
better
sufficiency
in
theyr
weightiest
negotiations
;
not
vnlike
a
Bow
that
stands
alwayes
bent
,
becomes
weake
in
it selfe
,
and
vnserviceable
to
others
:
so
fares
it
alike
with
the
most
ingenious
minds
to
bee
still
engaged
,
without
some
intermissions
,
some
steppings
aside
,
though
but
after
a
slye
,
or
a
feather
in
the
ayre
,
to
breath
,
to
reviue
our
oversad
,
our
too
intensiue
spirits
;
As
once
the
riding
of
a
hobby-horse
with
his
little
princely
sonne
,
not
ill
beseem'd
a
King
;
any
sport
for
a
spurt
,
(
if
honest
or
harmelesse
,
though
childish
)
contradi●…ts
not
the
Reputation
of
a
Man
;
It
being
a
point
of
wisdome
sometimes
(
among
the
vnwise
)
to
seeme
to
play
the
foole
,
as
to
doe
it
vnderstandingly
,
requires
(
they
say
)
the
best
wits
;
of
purpose
to
forget
,
improues
the
very
Art
of
memorie
;
the
way
(
in
some
cases
)
to
aduance
forward
,
is
by
a
learned
skill
to
retire
backe
;
and
by
a
discreet
retreat
,
no
small
advantage
is
gotten
;
the
day
,
the
Field
is
ofttimes
wonne
;
so
the
reading
of
a
Pamphlet
,
a
shallow
,
a
dispised
worke
of
puft
conceits
,
proues
not
onely
not
hurtfull
,
but
beneficiall
to
the
Wise
(
who
suckes
advantage
from
every
thing
)
a
helpe
in
his
progresse
to
his
most
serious
intendments
,
bee
it
but
for
change
,
for
recreation
,
for
variety
sake
onely
,
as
I
have
sayd
.
And
what
is
there
so
meane
(
if
of
any
moment
,
in
the
iudgements
of
the
best
)
but
in
one
respect
or
other
,
a
man
of
a
gracious
wit
will
make
some
gracious
or
morall
vse
thereof
to
his
owne
behoofe
and
others
,
extracting
Iuyce
out
of
a
dry
Iuncke
;
sweet
out
of
sowre
;
honey
out
of
gall
;
preservatiue
out
of
poyson
;
and
Documents
of
Wisedome
from
Examples
of
Folly
;
but
this
is
a
prerogatiue
of
Vertue
,
and
peculiar
to
the
wise
onely
;
a
Taske
too
hard
for
all
,
and
positions
abhorred
by
men
of
honestie
,
such
as
are
not
to
be
expected
in
the
little
garden
plot
of
my
ensuing
discourse
,
which
shall
beare
no
noysome
weedes
,
but
(
at
least
)
harmlesse
,
(
if
not
wholesome
)
hearbes
and
flowers
,
though
(
in
comparison
)
of
all
other
the
meanes●…
▪
for
any
that
will
,
to
make
a
Nose-gay
to
smell
to
on
a
Holiday
;
a
vacant
houre
,
a
Festivall
,
a
time
of
leasure
.
I
have
therefore
made
choise
(
before
the
rest
)
to
write
of
my
Travels
onely
to
the
East
Indies
,
as
well
for
brevity
as
for
raritie
(
for
to
speake
of
all
I
haue
seene
abroad
would
(
I
know
)
seeme
no
lesse

then
common
and
ridiculous
,
things

,
and
deare
bought
haue
bin
counted
best
and
in
most

)
wherein
I
shall
not
bee
over-curious
,
or
too
remisse
to
satisfie
the
indifferent
Reader
,
nor
yet
to
leaue
the
most
iudicious
(
I
hope
)
voyd
of
all
content
;
none
that
will
not
,
would
I
willingly
should
(
as
not
to
surfet
;
so
neither
)
to
goe
fasting
away
,
if
short
syppets
in
a
forreyne
Feast
,
o●…an
Indian
Collation
homely
drest
,
and
by
an
vnskilfull
hand
hastily
set

may
(
for
a
moment
or
so
)
eyther
entertaine
their
curious
sight
,
or
relish
their
iudicious

Thus
by
a
choyce
pittance
,
a
modicum
,
a
Spanish
Bocado
,
a
bit
and
away
,
carefully
purveying
to
recreate
the
best
,
and
to
prevent
disorder
in
the
rest
;
however
,
be
it
gustfull
or
not
,
this
benefit
(
to
the
wise
)
will
surely
follow
,
as
to
provoke
the
sooner
to
relinquish
or
leaue
off
,
quicken
an
appetite
vnto
better

,
and
leaue

the
best
to
them
that
loue
him
(
O
thrice
happy
and
blest
Estate
of
a
resolute
Soule
loving
and
beloved
of
GOD
)
none
so
firmely
standing
but
subiect
to
a
declension
,
accidental
or
finall
;
by
a
decay
of
wealth
,
or
at
longest
an
expiration
of
our
breath
.
And
having
before
bin
well
Disciplin'd
and
confirm'd
in
these
and
other
like
Points
of
Faith.
That
who
so
lives
vnto
the
Lord
shall
dye
in
the
Lord
;
and
all
such
(
whether
(
so
)
living
or
dying
)
are
sure
to
bee
the
Lords
,
securely
sleeping
and
waking
vnder
his
Omnipotent
,
his
mercifull
,
and
ever-watchfull
protection
;
As
also
,
that
the
way
to
Heaven
lay
paralell
by
Sea
as
by
Land
,
as
neere
from
the
East
as
from
the
West
,
from
the
North
as
from
the
South
;
from
whence
I
had
read
should
be
gathered
all
the
Elect
of
God
in
CHRIST
,
which
(
in
effect
)
I
remember
was
my
answer
to
Sir
Thomas
Smith
then
Governour
,
obiecting
vnto
mee
the
danger
of
the
enterprise
,
with
his
cheerefull
approbation
following
.
Hereupon
it
came
into
my
thoughts
,
and
thence
(
by
degrees
)
grew
into
a
resolution
to
attempt
a
Voyage
into
those
Orientall
or
Easterne
parts
of
the
world
,
aswell
(
to
speake
after
the
manner
of
men
)
in
hope
to
raise
my
Fortunes
,
as
to
better
my
Experience
,
which
doubtlesse
I
had
obtayned
to
the
full
of
my
desires
,
had
not
God
seene
contrary
things
more
expedient
for
mee
;
for
a
fayre
way
(
as
ever
vnto
any
of
a
meane
ranke
that
went
that
way
)
was
layd
open
to
me
,
which
some
of
good
note
observing
,
pronounced
mee
openly
(
by
their
Prognostication
)
to
be
certainly
some
great
rich
man
before
I
dyed
;
which
(
for
theyr
rash
Oathes
sake
,
and
the
better
expression
of
my
bountifull
mind
,
the
onely
portion
(
to
any
purpose
)
I
ever
yet
possest
,
a
large
heart
and
an
open
hand
to
my
Friend
,
or
Foe
in
misery
)
I
could
wish
may
yet
come
to
passe
,
and
why
not
?
(
without
offence
)
as
well
as
others
?
so
it
may
stand
with
Gods
glory
,
and
not
to
the
wrong
of
any
;
else
welcome
still
(
bee
it
whatsoever
)
the
good
pleasure
of
the
Almightie
.
For
Friends
of
neither
kiffe
nor
kinne
were
raised
vp
vnto
mee
,
ready
to
engage
themselves
by
speaking
and
doing
for
me
whatsoever
might
,
and
did
procure
me
Credit
with
the
Governour
and
Committees
,
even
vnto
bonds
;
whose
loue
and
merit
I
shall
bee
ever
prest
(
to
my
power
)
vpon
all
occasions
,
(
change
they
or
change
they
not
)
to
requite
and
honour
;
by
whose
meanes
my
Parentage
was
honoured
;
my
parts
commended
;
and
(
vpon
tryall
)
both
in
private
conference
,
and
in
full
Courts
openly
approued
;
my
sallary
was
assigned
me
;
my
place
appoynted
;
and
in
them
both
made
equall
(
at
least
)
with
many
of
my
betters
.
In
fine
,
there
was
nothing
wanting
on
the
honourable
Companies
part
or
my
Friends
behalfe
,
that
might
aboad
vnto
me
all
wisht
prosperity
,
but
that
(
in
some
others
)
which
(
for
loue●…
sake
)
I
am
willing
in
silence
to
passe
over
,
as
also
to
shunne
all
impertinent
,
and
supersluous
matter
,
though
the
onely
stumbling-blocke
in
the
way
of
my
so
faire
proceedings
to
my
future
Preferments
then
;
and
(
in
effect
,
as
originally
)
ever
since
;
for
loue
,
(
I
am
taught
)
covers
a
multitude
of
Infirmities
,
but
vncovers
none
.
Briefly
then
,
to
shut
vp
my
Introduction
,
and
to
the
matter
it selfe
;
All
things
being
in
readines●…e
,
and
prepared
for
our
intended
Voyage
,
the
Companies
Orders
with
our
Commission
sealed
vp

sent
aboord

t
is

prosecute
my

to
lanch
forth
into

his
owne
good
Example
(
no
doubt
)
preuented
many
grosse
offences
,
which
vsually
happen
in
promiscuous
multitudes
.
Our
Marchants

Factors
were
many
,
well
nigh
thirty
,
and
most
of
them
men
of
Experience
as
euer
the
Company

;
Linguists

and
Residents
in
forraigne
Countryes
;
as

and
Italy
,
with
other
places
of
best
cōmerce
,
whereof
foure
were
Principals

had
each
his

,
Master

,
Master

and
Master
Edward

;
he
alone
more
bred
a

then
a
Marchant
,
and
our
Gover●…ours
Kinsman
.
Our
ordinarie
meanes
to
stirre
vp
mens
affections
to
goodnesse
,
as
Prayer
and
diuine
Seruice
twice
a
day
,
on

,
and

of
good
Bookes
(
in

)
of
the
Companies
prouiding
to
that
end
(
to
the
comfort
of

were
not
wanting
;
besides
a
Preacher
in
his
monthly
visites
,
for
Instruction
,
and
Ministration
of
the
Sacrament
.
Our
places
of
refreshing
were
three
,
the
first
Cape
boon
Speranc●…
,
which
affoorded
vs
plenty
of
Booes
and
Baas
,
or
Beeues
and
Sheepe
for
small
pieces
of
Copper
,
whereof
the
Saluages
make
themselues
Rings

Bracelets
;
they
goe
all
naked
,
saue
onely
before
,
a
little
flappe
;
and
feed
(
as
they
looke
and
smell
)
most
nastily
;
subtill
they
are
,
theevish
,
and
very
treacherous
;
their
Houses
are
like
Bee-hives
,
and
many
together
make
a
Towne
,
wherewith
(
vpon
occasion
of
changing
theyr
heards
to
fresh
pastures

or

wherat
they
tremble
)
away
they
skuddle
(
euery
one

Castle
on

)
posting
to
a
new
Plantation
.
From
hence
,
hauing
repayred
our
Flee●…e
,
refresht
our selues
,
and
strecht
our
limbes
(
he
that
listed
)
to
the
verie
tops
of
the
highest
Mountaines
and
craggie
Rocks
,
which
(
for
our
paines
)
discouered
vnto
vs
a
goodly
Country
,
extending
farre
in
length
and
breadth
,
in
lower
Hils
and
greene
Vallies
running
on
together
,
pleasant
to
behold
;
yet
alwayes
in
company
more
or
fewer
,
and
with
our
Armes
,
(
least
the
Baboones
out
of
some
Thicket
or
bush
should
sodenly
surprise
vs
)
at
the
end
of
three
weekes
or
thereabouts
wee
set
sayle
agayne
,
and
not
long
after
came
to
an
Anker
at
Saint
Lawrence
Iland
,
in
the
Bay
of
Saint
Augustine
.
Here
wee
landed
and
traded
three
dayes
with
the
people
,
and
had
large
and
fat
Oxen
for
fiue
shillings
an
Oxe
,
most
curious
Darts
and
of
diuers
fashions
as
Art
could
make
,
and
bright
as
siluer
,
for
halfe
a
Ryall
or
Three-pence
,
but
without
siluer
wee
could
haue
nothing
,
which
they
knew
from
counterfeit
as
well
as
any
;
wee
saw
no
Towne
nor
house
they
had
,
though
(
doubtlesse
)
better
then
the
Soldanians
prouided
,
by
good
coniectures
,
for
theyr
carriage
had
a
glosse
of
humanity
,
a
tincture
of
vnderstanding
;
theyr
persons
full
of
proportion
and
comely
feiture
;
tall
,
straight
,
strong
,
and
sturdy
;
fierce
of
Countenan●…
;
admirable
ma●…kesmen
at
the
Dart
,
and
actiue
;
verie
faire
and
blacke
as
Iett
(
for
the
blackest
they
count
the
fairest
)
and
all
naked
as
the
former
,
(
perhaps
but
seruants
to
theyr
Lords
and
Masters
;
)
many
were
desirous
to
haue
made
some
discouery
into
the
Country
,
but
we
durst
not
contradict
our
Orders
,
nor
hazard
the
danger
of
a
thicke
Wood
,
whereof
wee
knew
no
end
;
which
of
necessitie
must
haue
bin
past
.
Our
last
touch
was
at
Socato●…
,
where
wee
found
a
King
;
not
a
Natiue
,
but
of
the
royall
blood
of
the
antient
Kings
of
Barbarie
;
who
got
this
small
Iland
by
Conquest
,
and
held
the
Natiues
in
great
seruitude
,
whome
our
Generall
presented
,
and
would
haue
entertained
aboord
the
Shippes
,
but
he
refused
it
;
yet
for
three
or
foure
dayes
space
,
came
downe
daily
to
the
water
side
from
his
Castle
,
with
his
guard
of
soldiers
borne
in
a
Palanquine
,
and
after
the
Moorish
fashion
(
crosse-legged
)
sitting
in
state
vnder
a
rich
Cannopie
vppon
Turky
Carpets
spread
on
the
ground
,
and
as
richly
clad
in
cloth
of
Gold
,
conuerst
in
the
Arabeck
and
Portugall
tongues
,
with
the
Generall
,
Marchants
,
and
Masters
both
of
Marchandizing
and
Nauigating
affaires
(
himselfe
being
a
Marchant
,
as
likewise
all
the
Kings
of
those
Easterne
parts
,
who
trade
by
theyr
Agents
and
Factors
)
of
whom
wee
bought
a
good
quantity
of
Aloes
Socatrina
,
euen
his
whole
store
;
and
in
the
Art
of
Nauigation
,
Astronomie
,
with
other
branches
of
the
Mathematickes
(
by
report
of
those
that
vnderstood
)
verie
iudicious
;
hauing
celestiall
and
terrestriall
Globes
,
his
Instruments
and
Astralabe
about
him
to
shew
vs
,
which
he
had
gotten
(
bought
or
presented
)
of
former
Fleets
,
and
euery
yeare
increasing
his
stocke
by
English
,
Dutch
,
Portugals
,
and
Spanish
that
came
that
way
;
A
man
of
a
liuely
countenance
and
well
fauored
;
about
fourtie
yeeres
of
age
;
as
full
of
Courtesie
and
affability
as
might
stand
with
his
Maiestie
,
and
as
full
of
Maiestie
(
respecting
his
Commodity
)
as
might
be
,
for
he
was
a
Kingly
Marchant
,
and
a
Marchant-like
King
;
at
parting
he
gaue
amongst
v●…
(
to
some
in
particuler
)
abundance
of
Dates
in
heapes
&
lumpes
,
which
made
our
Guisados
,
our
brothes
and
Dumplins
so
much
the
sweeter
,
whom
agayne
we
gratified
from
the
ships
with
our
Seamusicke
,
great
Gunnes
and
Trumpets
.
And
thus
weying
and
setting
sayle
agayne
(
with
starbord
and
larboord
;
port
and
helme
al●…e
)
we
steered
on
our
Course
,
till
with
the
helpe
of
God
,
and
our
constant
Monsoone
,
or
westerly
trade
winde
,
we
verie
happily
(
but
hardly
)
recouered
the
Rendeuous
to
S●…rat
,
and
came
to
an
Anker
in
the
Roade
of
Swall●…e
,
about
the
tenth
,
of
Nouember
,
and
of
our
great
Company
(
thankes
bee
to
God
)
lost
onely
one
man
,
who
came
sicke
of
an
Ague
out
of
England
,
but
here
quickly
they
began
to
dye
faster
of
Fluxes
and
Feauers
.
Vpon
aduise
of
our
arriuall
,
by
a
dispatch
to
Surat
,
some
eight
miles
vp
into
the
Countrey
,
Mr.
Thomas
Aldworth
the
Companies
chiefe
Agent
there
,
an
vnderstanding
Gentleman
and
once
Sheriffe
of
the
Citie
of
Bristoll
,
came
downe
to
vs
a
ioyfull
man
,
and
for
many
enterchangeable
causes
was
as
ioyfully
receiued
,
and
with
him
Coach
and
horse
for
conuoy
of
the
Marchants
to
the
City
,
for
now
the
Terme
(
or
vintage
rather
)
after
our
long
Vacation
,
approaching
,
wee
must
leaue
the
ships
a
a
while
,
and
apply
our selues
to
Land-seruice
.
In
our
short
Iourney
vpon
the
way
,
euery
thing
almost
seemed
new
vnto
me
,
the
people
with
theyr
customes
especially
,
not
the
Moores
(
for
I
had
seene
of
them
before
in
Spaine
and
Barbarie
)
but
the
antient
natiues
of
the
Country
,
called
Banians
,
who
(
notwithstanding
theyr
different
Religions
)
liue
ciuillie
,
neighbour-like
one
among
another
,
in
Cities
,
Townes
,
and
Villages
(
but
not
in
Houses
)
together
,
whom
(
in
Concourse
)
wee
first
saw
at
Swallie
,
the
first
myle
from
the
water
side
,
where
the
Mocodam
or
Constable
receiued
vs
,
profered
vs
his
owne

with
the
Townes
seruice
,
and
performed
it
in
such
necessaries
and
complements
of
prouision
as
wee
required
,
or
would
accept
off
;
Bread
,
Wine
,
Plantines
,
Taddie
,
and
such
like
Regalos
y
●
scanty
place
affoorded
;
wherewith
more
delighted
thē
refresht
(
as
with
nouelty
and
variety
)
we
set
onward
through
an
euen
and
a
solitary
way
till
we
came
in
sight
of
Surat
,
and
of
a
Nauigable
riuer
which
ran
close
under
the
Towne
walls
,
vpon
which
within
,
stood
a
Castle
(
a
good
ornament
to
the
place
)
and
fortified
with
men
and
munition
.
This
Riuer
wee
past
,
and
landed
right
before
the
Alfondica
,
or
Custome
house
,
and
so
along
through
many
streets
(
humming
like
Bees
in
swarmes
)
with
multitudes
of
people
in
white
Coates
,
men
and
women
;
(
close
bodied
,
and
full
of
gathering
to
the
mid-leg
)
with
breeches
and
stockings
in
one
,
ruffling
like
bootes
and
all
of
one
single
Callico
;
this
being
their
Generall
and
most
neate
,
or
Angelicall
habite
,
which
sparkles
(
of
their
kinde
of
starching
)
like
siluer
spangles
;
vntill
(
almost
smothered
with
clouds
of
heat
and
dust
)
wee
c●…me
to
the
English
house
a
day
or
two
after
Master
Aldworthes
returne
from
the
Shippe●…
with
the
prime
Marchants
,
where
wee
found
our selues
as
at
home
,
in
all
respects
well
accommodated
saue
lodging
,
which
with
breuity
was
very
commodiously
supplyed
,
by
taking
another
house
with
an
Orchard
and
pleasant
walkes
vpon
the
roofe
(
after
the
Spanish

the
Moorish
building
)
to

,
hauing

we
differd
from
common
Prentises
,
onely
(
yet
ingeniously
)
acknowledging
a
precedencie
in
our
little
Common
weale
,
for
a
kinde
of
representation
to
prevent
confusion
.
But
now
,
before
I
proceed
(
being
called
upon
by
order
)
I
am
willing
(
for
more
variety
)
to
entertaine
a
while
my
Courteous
Reader
with
a
short
discourse
of
my selfe
and
another
,
being
not
a
whit
impertinent
,
but
r●…ther
a
good
Compliment
,
if
not
a
comely
ornament
to
the
History
it selfe
,
how
that
in
few
dayes
I
here
suddenly
fell
sicke
of
a
burning
Fever
,
and
(
thankes
be
to
God
)
as
sodainly
recovered
;
for
fearing
the
extremi●…y
of
that
raving
and
uncomfortable
Sick●…esse
,
(
against
his
will
)
I
prevayl●…d
wi●…h
our
Ch●…rurgion
,
to
let
me
bleed
till
I
fainted
againe
,
as
fore-seeing
it
to
be
my
remedy
;
appl●…ed
all
comfortable
things
to
my
h●…ad
;
tooke
my
bed
;
and
(
full
of
perplexity
to
dve
sencelesse
)
I
comme●…ded
my selfe
to
God
;
after
some
idle
talke
to
my
friends
about
me
,
I
fell
into
a
slumber
,
but
quickely
wakened
by
a
desire
to
ease
my
stomacke
,
and
had
(
at
least
)
a
dozen
vomits
,
naturally
,
which
gave
mee
a
most
comfortable
night
;
turned
my
great
sorrowes
into
the
greater
reioycings
,
at
the
lively
apprehension
of
Gods
infinite
mercies
;
made
me
forthwith
an
instrument
of
comfort
to
another
that
shortly
after
of
a
bloudy
Fluxe
sickened
and
dyed
;
by
such
words
and
warrants
from
the
word
of
t●…uth
and
my
own
experience
of
inward
Coelestiall
Ioyes
beyond
expression
,
to
honest
hearts
and
heavenly
mindes
,
that
wonne
me
his
earnest
attention
(
to
his
and
my
owne
advantage
,
for
I
applyed
him
the
closer
)
which
took
so
deepe
an
impression
in
him
,
that
it
left
him
not
to
his
last
breath
.
To
mention
all
circumstances
and
passages
of
his
sixe
dayes
sicknesse
,
would
seeme
a
needlesse
curiositie
,
which
(
in
comparison
of
some
then
languishing
and
repining
under
the
same
Crosse
)
he
suffered
with
singular
patience
,
and
spent
it
most
in
abstinence
,
silence
,
and
meditation
;
the
night
before
his
death
,
in
private
conference
,
watching
with
him
,
he
told
me
(
after
his
accustomed
mildnesse
)
he
had
thought
of
my
former
talke
,
and
should
finde
my
Words
true
;
the
next
morning
(
vpon
my
perswasion
)
he
r●…ceived
the
Sacrament
,
after
he
had
made
his
Will
in
the
presence
of
another
Marchant
and
my selfe
;
one
Master
Edward
Hamden
;
wherein
(
in
effect
,
having
his
memory
perfect
to
the
last
)
he
would
(
more
then
once
or
twice
)
have
given
me
his
whole
E●…tate
,
being
of
some
value
I
remember
,
but
excusing
my selfe
(
with
thankes
for
his
love
)
I
refused
it
,
as
not
expedient
for
my selfe
(
me
thought
)
in
regard
of
the
worke
in
hand
,
though
lawfull
(
I
knew
)
for
another
,
least
Religion
should
suffer
,
and
my
labor
of
love
bee
thought
merc●…narie
,
whereof
(
God
knowes
)
I
was
exceeding
iealous
,
to
prevent
occasion
,
or
the
least
preiudice
in
any
,
the
sicke
man
especially
.
After
all
this
,
having
tasted
some
comfortable
broth
I
caused
to
bee
made
for
him
by
our
English
Cook
,
he
presently
fell
into
aswound
,
thinking
all
he
had
beene
dead
,
but
after
a
while
reviving
,
raysed
himselfe
up
,
and
looked
earnestly
round
about
the
Chamber
,
being
full
of
good
Company
,
Marchants
and
others
,
whereof
our
Preacher
was
one
,
at
least
a
dozen
,
with
some
Strangers
,
as
our
Indian
Doctor
,
&c.
and
fixing
his
eyes
vpon
me
,
beckened
me
to
him
with
his
hand
;
I
went
and
sate
close
by
him
on
his
Bed
;
hee
presently
caught
me
in
his
Armes
and
hugg'd
me
(
not
like
a
dying
man
)
with
such
strength
and
vnutterable
expressions
of
Ioy
(
between
●…peech
and
speechlesse
)
that
moved
passion
in
all
,
but
my selfe
especially
to
drowne
him
in
teares
;
as
,
Ah
my
Friend
,
my
Friend
;
my
true
,
my
happy
,
my
faithfull
friend
:
and
ah
the
ioyes
!
the
ioyes
,
the
ioyes
;
Aah
,
Aah
,
Aah
,
and
the
like
:
flung
away
his
things
about
him
,
wherein
(
he
sayd
)
he
had
taken
too
much
delight
,
in
token
how
slightly
hee
now
valued
them
or
the
whole
world
;
reached
forth
his
hand
to
all
the
company
,
lifting
his
eyes
on
high
with
an
overjoyed
countenance
,
where
his
minde
in
silence
had
beene
long
before
.
And
thus
(
in
a
blessed
peace
)
about
9.
of
the
Clocke
on
a
Wednesday
morning
,
being
the
23.
of
November
,
1614.
he
tooke
his
last
farewell
of
this
wretched
life
,
and
changed
it
(
no
doubt
)
for
a
better
:
his
name
Master
Timothy
Wood
,
a
yong
man
,
and
once
a
Mercer
(
I
thinke
)
in
Cheap-side
,
but
then
a
Factor
for
the
Honourable
East
India
Company
:
What
I
haue
written
I
feare
not
to
be
censured
,
because
God
knowes
this
my
Relation
(
in
substance
)
to
bee
true
,
and
not
for
mine
,
but
for
his
owne
glory
,
(
the
only
blessed
Author
of
all
goodnesse
)
have
I
now
at
length
penned
it
,
and
for
the
good
of
any
that
can
make
vse
thereof
.
My
sad
Storie
(
of
a
Ioy
Tryumphant
)
being
ended
,
and
the
Funerals
performed
,
I
am
called
vpon
to
a
further
relation
of
our
Iourney
up
within
the
Country
,
to
make
provision
of
goods
for
best
and
speediest
returnes
home
unto
our
honorable
Masters
,
to
which
end
,
it
was
ordayned
in
Consultation
,
that
by
a
distributiō
of
our
Company
into
foure
Squadrons
,
the
prime
Cities
or
Marts
for
Commoditie
,
Trade
,
and
Commerce
of
that
rich
Kingdome
should
be
invested
by
us
,
as
Baroch
and
Brodera
;
Amadavaz
and
Cambaya
,
each
in
distance
at
least
a
dayes
iourney
one
from
another
;
our
Commodities
were
divers
,
as
sundry
sorts
of
Stones
;
Aggate
Cupps
of
curious
Art●…
;
▪
Quilts
,
Conserves
,
Drugges
,
Cotton
Wools
,
and
(
for
bulke
or
grosse
lading
)
Indicoes
and
Callicoes
.
Our
first
Iourney
or
place
of
rest
from
Surat
,
was
Baroch
,
being
three
dayes
on
the
way
,
much
toyled
with
heate
and
dust
,
in
regard
of
our
slow
proceedings
with
our
heauy
carriages
,
and
the
toylesome
passage
of
two
Riuers
with
ladings
and
reladings
of
our
goods
;
(
interruptions
and
stayes
being
worse
then
a
continuall
progresse
)
but
here
wee
were
well
refresht
at
the
English
house
,
for
Master
John
Oxwicke
a
Spanish
Marchant
being
appointed
chiefe
for
that
place
,
and
of
a
weekes
antiquity
before
,
had
made
good
prouision
for
our
comming
,
as
well
for
our
persons
as
the
dispatch
and
clearing
our
charge
of
the
Custome-house
.
From
hence
within
a
day
or
two
we●…
set
forth
,
and
by
slow
Iournies
(
as
before
)
came
to
Brodera
,
a
dry●…r
place
(
by
a
great
Riuer
)
but
the
greater
Citie
,
and
all
a
plaine
and
pleasant
Country
(
Baro●…h
esp●…cially
)
for
Orchards
,
Tankes
or
Ponds
,
verie
spacious
,
and
artificially
made
,
(
in
forme
,
for
worke
and
workemanshippe
not
vnlike
our
Bathes
)
for
generall
vse
and
vses
;
Tombes
,
and
Piramides
many
in
open
Fields
(
and
priuate
Gardens
)
about
which
are
to
be
seene
certaine
Penitentiaries
,
or
votari●…s
(
they
say
)
but
Lunatickes
and
men
(
I
thinke
)
really
possest
with
Deuils
,
as
in
the
Gospell
is
mentioned
;
theyr
bodies
naked
,
cut
,
and
lanced
with
kniues
or
stones
,
staring
and
stalking
,
to
and
fro
,
no
lesse
wofull
then
dreadfull
to
behold
;
as
was
also
the
sight
of
a
Pagot
,
or
a
Cell
of
deuotion
descending
into
a
Vault
vnder
ground
,
where
(
being
desirous
of
discoueries
)
wee
saw
an
vgly
Idoll
against
a
wall
,
representing
(
it
seemes
)
theyr
God
,
or
theyr
feare
,
but
a
plaine
Deuill
as
wee
call
it
,
in
like
forme
paynted
or
graven
,
whom
a
certaine
Sect
of
Banians
doe
worship
,
whereof
there
are
many
Sects
,
but
of
this
no
more
,
Purchase
Pilgrimage
from
relation
of
exact
Travellers
hath
them
lively
set
forth
.
In
this
City
,
as
all
others
throughout
both
Asia's
and
Afrique
wee
were
lodged
in
the
Ceragl●…
,
a
spatious
place
made
of
purpose
for
all
Travellers
,
Natives
as
else
(
for
they
have
not
the
vse
of
Innes
as
in
Christendome
)
with
commodious
Ware-houses
round
about
,
of
one
Story
,
foure
Square
,
in
the
manner
of
Galleries
;
and
under
them
dry
walkes
and
places
to
feed
their
Coach-oxen
,
Camels
,
Elephants
,
and
Horses
,
but
in
the
middle
all
open
,
like
our
Exchange
;
It
being
supposed
that
euery
Marchant
,
Gentleman
,
or
Nobleman
hath
his
Tent
or
Coach
to
sleepe
in
,
if
neyther
,
they
make
the
best
shi●…t
they
can
,
and
for
their
provision
they
bring
it
with
them
,
or
buy
it
in
the
Towne
.
Here
it
was
determined
by
a
Consultation
,
for
causes
or
supposals
moving
them
(
being
before
appointed
for
Cambaya
)
that
my selfe
should
goe
backe
to
Bar●…ch
to
assist
Master
Oxwicke
there
,
in
that
mayne
investment
of
C●…licoes
,
having
a
Commission
given
mee
beyond
my
expectation
or
desire
,
that
(
in
case
of
the
least
cause
by
unequall
carriage
in
our
Masters
businesse
,
or
in
particular
toward
my selfe
,
being
perswaded
,
(
as
they
told
mee
)
that
if
he
would
take
the
matter
well
,
or
live
peaceably
with
any
,
I
was
the
man
)
a
word
from
my
hand
should
displace
him
;
such
an
opinion
they
all
seemed
to
have
of
my
Integritie
,
and
he
no
lesse
on
the
other
side
,
assured
of
me
;
for
(
concealing
whatsoever
might
move
passion
,
or
incite
him
to
Iealousie
,
I
applyed
my selfe
to
him
by
Complements
of
love
and
friendly
〈◊〉
,
till
he
became
so
well
possest
of
me
both
for
Iudgment
and
Honesty
,
upon
some
experiences
of
them
both
,
that
(
in
effect
)
he
made
me
his
Secretary
,
and
would
not
write
a
Letter
of
Consequence
in
his
owne
affaires
(
as
occasions
there
were
betweene
him
and
some
others
of
principall
note
)
without
my
advice
and
allowance
for
a
passe
;
wherein
(
I
thanke
God
)
I
never
fayl'd
but
pleasured
him
,
by
his
owne
often
ingenious
acknowledgements
,
with
good
reasons
for
his
satisfaction
.
But
yet
all
this
while
I
am
still
in
Brodera
,
in
the
house
of
a
rich
Banian
well
lodged
and
entertayned
for
three
dayes
,
till
he
had
procured
me
from
the
Gouernour
Mosaph
Cha●…
,
or
Lord
Mosaph
,
a
Guard
of
Souldiers
vnder
a
Captaine
of
tenne
,
both
horse
and
foote
,
with
shot
and
lance
for
my
safe
Convoy
to
Baroch
,
our
English
Friends
being
all
gone
forward
,
and
my selfe
alone
with
a
kinsman
of
his
owne
for
my
linguist
and
Coachmate
,
and
not
without
cause
,
for
my
Coach
on
the
way
was
sodenly
stayed
by
a
Company
of
sl●…ues
that
thwarted
vs
,
but
speedily
rescued
by
my
guard
,
with
knockes
on
both
sides
,
yet
no
hurt
on
ours
,
and
all
with
such
celerity
that
I
had
scarce
time
to
draw
my
sword
and
shew
my selfe
a
party
before
they
were
quite
vanisht
;
then
on
againe
we
went
merrily
,
(
my
Banian
especially
)
laughing
and
talking
,
giving
and
eating
of
our
Iunkets
till
we
came
neare
to
the
Citie
;
there
I
dismist
my
valliant
Soldiers
,
gratified
their
desert
with
a
small
reward
,
yet
to
their
rich
content
,
and
at
parting
had
a
generall
Salam
of
them
,
or
Congee
to
the
ground
,
with
a
short
Vollie
,
and
adieu
.
And
now
being
come
to
Baroch
,
to
the
English
house
,
my
friend
bids
me
lovingly
welcome
,
to
whom
I
gave
my
Letters
from
our
Cape
Marchants
,
and
(
after
colation
)
shewed
him
my
generall
commission
,
who
presently
declared
himselfe
,
that
seeing
the
matter
must
be
so
,
he
was
right
glad
of
my
company
,
as
of
one
whom
of
all
others
,
he
would
have
made
choyce
of
for
his
friend
and
associate
;
and
thus
,
well
possest
of
each
other
,
on
we
went
together
in
our
Masters
businesse
,
buying
Callicoes
as
fast
as
we
could
procure
our
Brokers
to
bring
vs
in
good
Bargaines
,
or
direct
us
to
them
,
spending
our
interims
of
Vacation
for
about
two
Moneths
space
as
best
liked
vs
;
sometimes
in
visites
to
the
Governour
;
sometimes
taking
our
Coach
to
breath
the
Country
ayr●…
;
sometimes
walking
vpon
the
Citie
walles
,
which
from
that
stately
scituation
gave
us
a
goodly
prospect
pregnant
for
delight
and
Meditation
;
and
lastly
,
our
owne
House
,
having
high
and
pleasant
Tarasses
or
Walkes
on
the
Roofe
,
for
domesticke
Recreation
;
that
in
this
pleasant
place
(
in
number
foure
English
)
we
lived
like
Lords
,
to
the
honour
and
profit
of
our
Honourable
Masters
,
and
to
our
owne
hearts
content
,
save
a
little
Iarre
that
fell
out
at
last
,
about
a
parcell
of
Calicoes
,
but
lovingly
and
honestly
reconciled
againe
.
By
this
time
,
our
generall
investments
drawing
to
a
period
,
and
most
of
our
goods
from
all
parts
sent
aboord
,
Marchantlike
made
up
and
marked
as
in
the
Margent
;
and
understanding
our
dispersed
Companies
and
friends
to
be
againe
vnited
,
and
on
the
way
towards
us
(
save
such
as
were
appointed
for
the
great
Mogores
Court
;
namely
,
Master
Edwards
,
our
Preacher
,
and
some
others
)
we
could
no
lesse
(
having
now
leysure
enough
)
but
set
forth
to
meet
them
;
it
beeing
a
pleasant
observation
(
at
a
distance
)
to
note
the
order
of
their
Coaches
and
Carriages
,
drawne
by
two
faire
fat
Oxen
a
peece
,
with
Bells
about
theyr
neckes
,
Iinge
,
Iinge
,
and
softly
iogging
on
;
extending
all
in
length
like
a
Teeme
,
(
for
the
way
admits
no
familiarity
)
inveloped
with
a
Cloud
of
dust
(
for
a
Quita
Sol
)
to
shield
them
from
the
Sunne

As
if
(
presented

a

)
it
had
bin
the
spoyles
of
a
Tryumph
leading
Captive
,
or
a
preparation
to
some
sad
Execution
.
Being
all
met
together
,
we
generally
salute
one
another
,
and
each
his
friend
in
particular
,
with
mutuall
congratulations
,
for
our
good
successe
and
safe
returnes
thus
farre
;
having
lost
but
one
(
as
I
remember
)
a
yong
Gentleman
,
Master
Henry
Smith
,
Nephew
to
Sir
Thomas
Smith
our
Governour
,
who
dyed
of
a
bloudy
Fluxe
at
Amadavas
,
being
a
prime
youth
and
much
lamented
;
and
here
unawares
(
as
many
light
on
ill
Bargaines
)
I
over-hastily
changed
my
horse
for
a
Coach
,
and
tooke
his
place
that
left
it
,
to
conferre
with
my
friend
and
familiar
acquaintance
,
Master
Ralph
Preston
,
a
Religious
Gentleman
;
and
quite
forgetfull
of
his
mishap
out
ward
bound
,
I
fell
into
the
very
same
,
by
letting
one
Legge
hang
out
of
the
Coach
,
and
(
in
talke
)
moving
it
to
and
fro
,
the
Wheele
caught
it
,
which
my
friend
perceiuing
,
he
presently
cryed
out
to
stay
the
Coach
,
Racke
Racke
,
as
Master
Henry
Smith
had
done
before
for
him
,
which
saved
both
our
Legs
from
breaking
,
but
did
rend
my
heele
,
which
for
a
Weeke
so
tormented
mee
,
that
I
could
scarce
take
rest
,
yet
(
thankes
to
God
for
a
good
flesh
)
soone
well
againe
,
but
could
not
travayle
in
a
Fortnight
after
,
nor
scarce
then
,
save
in
a
Palanquine
to
Surat
.
And
thence
aboord
the
Ships
againe
,
scarce
cold
yet
of
the
Portugals
bloud
,
by
meanes
of
a
late
cruell
fight
in
our
absence
,
occasioned
by
the
Portugals
,
who
(
with
sixe
Gallions
,
or
great
Ships
of
Warre
,
two
Gallyes
,
and
sixty
Frigats
)
sodainly
surprised
the
Marchants-Hope
,
which
was
deepe
and
richly
laden
for
England
,
not
doubting
to
have
taken
her
as
shee
lay
at
Anker
with
the
rest
,
in
that
unexpected
manner
cutting
their
Cables
by
the
Halser
,
and
with
a
strong
Current
of
the
Tide
forcing
in
upon
her
;
but
were
soundly
beaten
for
theyr
haste
;
for
in
laying
her
aboord
on
all
parts
with
throngs
of
men
and
fresh
supplyes
,
the
Master
and
Company
being
vigilant
and
valiant
,
stoutly
resisted
;
gave
them
so
hote
entertainment
that
theyr
legs
and
armes
were
sent
flying
into
the
Ayre
,
and
the
Ship
pestered
with
their
dead
and
dying
bodyes
,
scorched
and
wounded
with
weapons
and
fire-workes
,
and
theyr
bloud
issuing
out
the
Scupper
holes
into
the
Sea
,
as
not
willing
to
abide
theyr
fury
;
by
this
time
the
rest
of
our
Fleet
had
likewise
cut
their
Cables
,
and
were
under
Sayle
,
increasing
the
fight
a
long
time
(
by
report
with
los●…e
but
of
two
or
three
of
our
men
)
till
they
had
made
such
a
slaughter
amongst
them
(
the
Frigates
especially
)
that
theyr
dismembred
bodyes
after
they
had
breathed
their
last
,
with
shrikes
and
cryes
in
the
Conflict
,
lay
floting
on
the
Sea
,
and
coveting
the
Shore
,
were
taken
up
dayly
for
many
dayes
,
by
the
Port●…gal
Inhabitants
,
and
the
Indians
for
theyr
spoyle
;
and
the
r●…st
unable
to
hold
out
,
away
they
went
with
no
l●…sse
shame
and
losse
of
former
reputation
,
then
perpetuall
honour
to
our
English
Nation
,
through
out
the
Indies
.
The
next
tydings
that
I
heard
,
(
being
now
againe
in
the
Fleet
with
the
rest
,
expecting
our
further
passage
to
the
Southward
,
according
to
the
Companies
Commission
)
was
a
Messenger
from
our
Generall
,
or
chiefe
Commander
,
tha●…
I
must
come
to
sp●…ake
with
him
:
Aboord
the
Admirall
I
went
,
a
little
limping
of
my
late
hurt
,
and
being
come
,
he
receyved
me
with
courtesie
,
tooke
me
apart
into
the
Gallery
,
and
(
to
be
briefe
)
told
me
that
for
such
and
such
reasons
,
the
Councell
had
determined
of
me
for
Surat
,
and
therefore
wisht
mee
to
provide
for
the
Shore
,
namely
(
with
leave
of
modesty
I
speake
it
)
for
the
good
opinion
they
had
iustly
conceyued
of
me
,
to
be
a
friend
of
trust
unto
Master
Aldworth
,
and
an
ayde
unto
our
Masters
affaires
,
occasioned
by
some
refractorie
fugitives
that
not
long
before
our
arrivall
(
to
make
a
purchase
)
had
attempted
his
death
,
being
forced
into
his
chamber
(
a
weakly
man
)
to
stand
upon
his
guard
to
preserue
his
life
.
All
which
did
not
a
little
cheere
me
up
,
and
quicken
in
me
a
Noble
resolution
unto
my
charge
,
though
incredibly
thenceforth
(
as
from
God
to
keepe
me
exercised
I
thinke
)
from
time
to

Few
day●…s
after
this
,
(
at
last
parcing
)
I
went
aboord
againe
to
take
my
leaue
of
the
Generall
,
and
(
not
without
open
demonstrations
of
his
loue
,
teares
and
embracements
)
having
commended
him
and
his
whole
proceedings
to
the
blessing
of
the
the
Divine
prouidence
,
I
left
him
;
and
with
my
good
wishes
to
all
the
rest
,
in
company
with
our
Factorie
went
ashore
to
Surat
;
having
had
but
few
nights
before
,
a
dreame
,
that
in
my
passage
for
Bantan
,
two
sturdy
Knaves
grapled
with
mee
to
have
heaved
me
over-boord
,
but
in
the
conflict
(
to
save
my
s●…lfe
)
I
awaked
,
and
finding
it
but
a
Dreame
was
glad
.
Here
for
a
Moneth
or
two
,
wanting
no
leasure
,
we
spent
our
time
at
Surat
,
euery

(

liked

;
sometimes
within

sometimes

,
no

will
rather

their

cruelty
is
to
lay

more

for
they
abstaine
from
nothing

Swines
flesh
,
which
is
a
cause
that
many
parts
of
the
Country
,
even
whole
Fields
doe
swarme
with
them
;
these
drinke
wine
liberally
,
and
strong
waters
,
yet
never
drunke

in

Night

and
then
theyr

(

sing

I
have
been
ravisht
in

silent

with
the
sweet
Eccho

reflection
thereof
from

kept
waking
houres

listning

anticipating
(
in
my
desires
)
the
new
Moones

they
constantly
thus
celebrate

for
the
Heavenly
representation
thereof
(
me
thought
)

commonly
my
meditations
had
their
end

For
at

times
especially
(

superstitiously

they
observe

(
or
rather
prophane
)
these
and
the
like
ceremonies

sing
aloud
vnto
God

strength
,
make
a
ioyfull
noyse
vnto
the
God
of

,
take
a
Psalme

bring

the

the

blow
vp
the

in

appointed

Feast-day
;
againe
,
praise
the

with
Harpe
,
sing
vnto
him
with
the
Psalterie

and
an
Instrument
of
Ten

sing

(

shout

then
they
annoint

also
to
shine

costly

So
,
drinke
no
longer
Wine
,
but
a
little
Water
,
To
th'
intemperate
man
,
for
it
keepes
him
sober
.
The
Country
affoords
no
Wine
but
artificiall
distillations
of
●…ples
,
like
our
hot
waters
:
very
tastfull
they
are
,
and
wholsome
,
but
not
so
strong
,
so
ful
of
spirit
as
ours
,
which
makes
the
Moores
to
prize
them
farre
above
theyr
owne
,
and
to
esteeme
them
for
the
best
present
,
or
Marchandize
can
be
brought
them
;
onely
the
Portugal
Inhabitants
in
their
Townes
and
Cities
(
being
many
and
great
)
doe
make
a
kinde
of
Wine
of
dryed
Grapes
,
or
Raysins
of
the
Sunne
,
for
relish
and
operation
the
best
(
I
thinke
)
in
the
world
,
not
inferiour
to
the
Spanish
Nectar
,
El
vino
de
San
Martin
:
being
pleasant
,
strong
,
and
cordiall
,
called
Raysin
Wine
,
almost
of
the
colour
of
Alicant
,
or
steelebacke
,
which
(
thankes
to
our
honourable
Masters
)
wee
were
seldome
without
,
or
some
other
,
to
concoct
the
crudity
of
our
not
so
wholsome
Waters
,
at
meales
especially
,
and
never
did
vs
any
hurt
but
good
,
though
bought
(
but
not
immediately
)
of
an
enimy
:
for
wee
were
wise
,
and
warie
enough
in
that
.
Their
habite
(
as
I
have
sayd
)
is
white
,
light
,
and
thinne
,
fit
for
the

heate
;
but
thicker

richer
Clad

for

Their
Coynes
in
silver
,
(
as
for
Gold
I
never
sawe
any
that
I
remember
)
are
Mamudes
and
Ruppees
;
the
Mamude
in

about
10.

;
the
Ruppee
,
more

they

of

there
are
foure

at

and
the

about

a

the

;
stamped
on
both
sides
with
Moorish
Characters
,
and
in

very
thicke
and
round
;
their
Copper
mony
whereof
they
have
such
plenty
,
as
(
if
tollerable
for
exportation
)
might
prove
a
good
returne
;
being
made
into

and
of

rest
proportionably
;
but
still
after
the
inconstant

of
the

,
almost
continually
rising

which
is
in
the

of

this

is

for

to

I
could
yet
say
more
in

particulars
,
but
having
sayd
enough
(
I
thinke
)
in
proofe
of
my
Travels
,
and
prayse
of
the
Countries
goodnesse
:
it
were
superfluous
,
and
beyond
my
intent
to
become
Cosmographicall
,
and
therefore
I
will
here
confine
my selfe
,
being
now
summoned
to
a
Consultation

determining
a
Iourney
to
be
made
unto
the

City
of
A●…adavas
,
by
Master
Thomas
Aldworth
the
Cōpanies
chiefe
Agent
;
my selfe
his
second
;
for
Cashier
and
Accountant
;
with
foure
other
English
,
whereof
two
were
homebred
Marchants
,
and
〈◊〉
more
:
to
provide
goods
in
readinesse
for
our
next
Fleet
,
that
the
Ships
(
to
theyr
great
damage
)
might
not
bee
deteyned
as
before
.
And
for
more
safety
both
of
goods
and
lives
,
our
charge
wee
had
with
us
being
of
great
importance
,
&
the
Country
(
as
I
have
sayd
)
very
dangerous
,
by
reason
of
Theeves
,
which
continually
(
vpon
intelligence
)
ly●…
arm'd
in
Troupes
on
the
way
for
booties
;
wee
held
it
best
(
though
otherwise
inconvenient
)
Mocrob
Chan
the
gouernour
of
Surat
then
trauelling
toward
Court
at
the
Kings
command
)
to
take
the
benefit
of
his
Lascar
or
Campe
(
as
also
diuers
others
,
it
being
the

custome
in
like

to

with

a

a

for
our
more
safe

which
yet
we
enioyed
not
past
one
night
aside
of
Baroch
,
till
wee
met
againe
at
Cambaya

being
both
our
worse
and
farther
way
;
For
this
great
Lord
with
his
many
hands
and
much
helpe
posting
faster
then
wee
could
follow
with
our
heauy
and
slow
carriages
,
lef●…vs
alone
in
the
midst
of
danger
,
(
God
onely
protecting
vs
)
being
three
nights
on
the
way
,
before
wee
could
reach
to
Cambaya
,
and
spent
two
of
them
(
with
their
sunschorching
dayes
)
by
the
water
side
,
having
only
our
Tent
for
shelter
,
expecting
there
a
boate
to
passe
vs
ouer
out
of
that
Purgatorie
,
and
another
of
mischieuous
minded
men
,
and
murmuring
Malecontents
;
Taddiepor
Marchants
and
heartlesse
souldiers
;
repining
not
onely
my
charge
,
but
my
precedency
also
(
or
next
respect
vnto
Master
Aldworth
,
and
that
by
his
precise
order
,
against
my
owne
desire
,
enioynd
me
)
to
their
antient
matrimony
;
making
me
both
his
Coach-mate
and
his
right
hand
at
Table
;
and
the
more
I
sought
by
gentlenesse
(
for
the
present
)
to
appease
theyr
spight
,
or
(
in
continuance
)
by
some
change
of
behauiour
to
confront
their
folly

the
more
(
like
themselues
)
they
(
still
conspiring
)
in
both
respects
mistooke
,
and
traduced
me
;
declaring
hereby
the
implacable
disposition
of
Envy
;
but
God
alone
did
plead
my
cause
,
and
(
by
degrees
)
put
them
to
silence
in
theyr
graues
.
Here
at
Sarode
(
for
so
the
place
is
called
)
during
,
our
aboad
,
worthy
of
obseruation
,
I
tooke
notice
of
some
part
of
Gods
omnipotent
workes
of
wonder
,
in
the
flux
and
reflux
of
that
famous
Riuer
of
Cambaya
,
for
fury
,
not
vnfitly
called
the
Boare
,
for
the
Tyde
from
the
maine
sea
twice
a
day
,
once
beginning
to
flow
(
Contrary
to
common
course
of
nature
)
comes
tumbling
in
amayne
,
with
such
a
roaring
noyse
a
farre
off
,
of
mighty
foaming
waues
(
like
white
ruffes
a
bout
their
proud
neckes
)
that
it
strikes
admiration
and
terrour
to
the
beholder
,
in
such
sort
that
those
high
bankes
,
with
theyr
dry
sands
and
Oaes
are
sodenly
couered
and
filled
vp
to
the
very
toppes
,
for
the
space
of
many
leagues
in
length
together
,
yet
neuer
ouerflowen
;
and
vpon
returne
,
with
expedition
leaves
it
(
for
the
most
part
)
emptie
and
dry
againe
;
being
(
in
absence
of
the
Tyde
)
a
firme
passage
for
all
that
dare
aduenture
it
;
which
thousands
having
done
(
and
daylie
doe
,
though
some
speed
better
)
not
taking
theyr
times
aright
,
or
the
vncertaine
Tydes
deceiuing
them
,
vpon
credible
report
(
like
Pharoes
host
in
thered
sea
)
haue
been
overwhelmed
man
and
beast
,
Horse
and
Camels
,
Elephants
and
all
,
with
infinite
Treasures
swept
away
into
that
Rich
Ocean
,
before
(
upon
too
short
a
warning
)
they
could
recover
(
backward
or
forward
)
the
shore
againe
,
for
the
River
is
of
a
very
spacious
bredth
in
many
places
over
.
Being
here
(
after
much
toyle
in
moving
and
removing
our
charge
from
place
to
place
,
for
our
best
advantage
against
an
assault
,
which
we
hourely
expected
,
that
wee
durst
not
sleepe
but
by
short
snatches
and
turnes
;
as
also
for
our
most
commodious
imbar
quing
(
the
best
being
bad
enough
in
that
wild
place
,
)
comes
a
Barque
,
receives
our selves
and
goods
aboord
,
and
in
a
late
Evening
at
a
full
water
we
set
Sayle
,
and
(
thankes
be
to
God
,
who
is
mighter
then
the
mighty
Waves
of
the
Sea
)
not
without
great
danger
,
about
Midnight
we
came
to
an
Anker
right
before
Cambaya
;
and
the
Sabbath
Morning
landed
in
that
Rich
,
Fayre
,
and
neat
City
,
so
famous
throughout
the
World.
Being
now
on
shore
(
notwithstanding
in
good
safety
of
life
)
we
found
our selves
little
better
then
fallen
out
of
the
frying●…
pan
(
as
they
say
)
into
the
fire
,
for
all
our
goods
were
presently
sequestred
,
and
carried
to
the
Kings
●…lfondica●…
till
his
Customes
of
seaven
Per
Cent.
were
payd
,
viz.
foure
in
,
and
three
out
:
which
(
according
to
the
value
)
would
have
come
to
a
good
summe
of
mony
,
whereat
we
were
much
dismayed
,
Master
Aldworth
especially
,
for
his
oversight
,
or
too
much
confidence
in
Mocrob
Chans
favor
,
whom
we
often
solicited
there
almost
●…
fortnight
,
as
an
Instrument
to
procure
the
release
of
our
sayd
goods
(
the
power
(
in
effect
)
being
in
his
owne
hands
)
but
all
in
vaine
,
till
at
last
,
a
few
dayes
before
our
departure
thence
,
Master
Aldworth
and
my
felfe
(
as
at
other
times
)
went
againe
to
him
,
and
sitting
right
before
him
very
neere
,
he
eyed
me
all
over
,
talking
meane
while
to
his
then
small
company
,
at
length
bids
our
Broker
aske
me
concerning
the
clothes
I
wore
,
what
stuffe
it
was
?
Where
made
?
And
other
questions
;
to
which
I
answered
him
;
In
conclusion
we
took
our
leave
,
and
went
home
without
a
word
of
comfort
;
a
while
after
comes
our
Broker
,
and
tells
Master
Ald●…orth
good
tydings
from
Mocrob
C●…an
,
that
if
he
could
procure
him
my
Suite
,
wee
should
forthwith
have
our
goods
delivered
us
;
no
sooner
had
Master
Aldworth
moved
it
unto
me
,
as
a
favour
which
I
may
not
deny
him
,
I
told
him
,
what
ere
it
were
I
would
grant
it
;
the
word
being
spoken
,
I
presently
brusht
up
my
amiable
Suite
,
and
sent
it
my
Lord
Mocro●…
by
the
hand
of
our
Broker
,
who
brought
us
the
same
Evening
a
Warrant
under
his
Signet
for
our
goods
,
which
the
next
morning
(
to
our
much
content
)
I
went
and
cleared
,
(
our
charge
being
more
precious
then
life
,
and
our
Reputation
above
all
.
)
But
what
this
humorous
Lord
did
with
my
Suite
,
I
cannot
tell
,
save
(
by
our
Brokers
coniecture
)
to
shew
unto
his
women
;
who
for
a
novelty
(
though
a
toy
)
was
observed
to
preferre
his
fancy
to
halfe
a
Kingdome
,
for
he
had
seene
many
as
good
before
,
and
farre
better
,
when
(
in
his
greatest
pompe
)
our
chiefe
Agent
,
with
all
his
Traine
,
in
our
best
bravery
presented
his
Lordship
from
our
Honourable
Masters
,
the
Governour
and
Company
,
at
our
first
comming
.
During
our
abode
here
,
we
bought
sundry
Commodities
as
best
liked
us
,
for
our
Returnes
,
and
(
to
expell
melancholy
)
that
it
should
not
domineere
(
being
too
much
occasioned
)
tooke
our
Recreation
off
the
City
,
Orchards
,
and
Fields
;
but
above
all
,
to
observe
the
Apes
in
that
peaceable
habitation
of
Banians
,
did
not
a
little
stirre
my
blo●…d
with
their
Apish
trickes
on
the
Houses
,
leaping
from
house
to
house
in
troupes
,
with
their
little
ones
in
clusters
clutching
about
them
,
making
dayly
worke
for
the
Tyler
and
Mason
,
by
pulling
out
here
a
Tyle
,
and
there
a
stone
,
till
they
had
uncovered
whole
houses
in
quarters
and
halfe
quarter●…
;
and
then
through
the
Roofe
(
as
ieering
the
Inhabitants
for
their
silly
patience
)
made
such
moppes
and
mowes
at
them
;
such
Friscoes
and
Carieres
to
and
againe
;
now
and
then
letting
fall
a
stone
or
a
tyle
upon
their
bombasted
heads
and
thin
shoulders
,
and
watching
in
the
fall
what
became
of
it
,
(
with
twenty
other
trickes
)
that
it
would
make
a
Thiefe
(
as
they
say
)
slip
his
Halter
and
leape
over
the
Gallowes
(
if
he
might
)
to
see
the
sport
;
and
if
a
stone
(
unlook'd
for
)
chanced
to
come
amongst
them
,
that
they
tooke
in
so
high
a
derision
to
bee
disturb'd
in
their
Worke
,
that
they
would
flye
at
a
man
with
open
mouth
,
as
if
they
meant
to
swallow
him
;
this
goodly
sight
being
also
to
bee
seene
a
great
part
of
the
Country
thereabout
,
whole
Fields
alive
,
and
the
Trees
covered
with
over-growne
Apes
and
Monkies
;
Parrats
and
Paraquites
chattering
and
leaping
from
Bough
to
Bough
,
till
come
to
the
top
,
and
then
shew
their
teeth
and
theyr
tayles
to
Passengers
for
a
salutation
.
Thus
,
and
thus
,
to
and
fro
,
changing
our
wearied
thoughts
from
sadder
obiects
,
wee
entertained
the
way
in
company
of
Mocrob
Chan
and
his
Las●…ar
,
till
the
third

from

early

I

FINIS
.
Gentle
Reader
.
AS
I
haue
invited
thee
:
so
let
me
now
aduise
,
or
rather
intreat
thee
that
having
read
mee
,
thou
wilt
not
rashly
censure
me
;
my
intent
throughout
was
to
giue
content
,
not
to
some
but
all
,
which
in
one
respect
or
other
(
I
hope
)
answers
my
d●…sire
;
onely
herei●…
lyes
all
my
doubt
,
least
offence
might
be
taken
heere
and
there
at
my
seeming
Osten
tation
;
but
leave
that
to
GOD
,
whilest
my
heart
(
I
am
sure
)
condemnes
me
not
;
perhaps
there
may
be
Cause
,
and
then
to
boast
,
is
wisdome
both
in
the
Opinion
and
practise
of
the
wis●…st
;
what
I
haue
done
,
hath
beene
with
as
much
respect
to
thy
good
as
my
owne
,
in
removing
my
Candle
frō
vnder
a
Bushell
,
to
set
it
fairly
on
a
Candlestick
,
to
the
end
that
with
the
light
there
of
I
may
see
,
and
be
seene
of
all
,
for
of
all
things
I
abhorre
●…o
sit
in
darkenesse
.
Great
is
the
benefit
of
Light
;
by
it
Confusion
is
banished
,
Co●…trarieties
are
knowne
and
distinguisht
,
dangers
declined
,
and
good
things
embraced
;
It
is
the
eye-sight
of
knowledge
from
whence
proceeds
the
due
estimation
we
yeeld
vnto
men
(
as
all
things
else
)
but
chiefly
for
their
proper
,
and
most
essentiall
or
intellectuall
parts
)
euen
Wisdome
(
thereafter
)
to
use
or
refuse
them
.
And
now
(
Gentle
Reader
)
for
the
writing
of
Bookes
so
in
generall
,
aword
or
two
(
vnder
Correction
)
in
some
defence
thereof
I
hope
will
not
f●…ll
amisse
;
prouided
that
neither
Church
nor
State
be
dishonoured
,
or
any
particular
person
thereby
iustly
offended
.
True
it
is
,
(
and
none
but
the
vnwise
can
den●…it
)
that
S●…ollers
for
their
rare
guists
of
〈◊〉
are
most
sit
to
write
for
publike
vse
(
hauing
a
thousand
times
wisht
my selfe
a
Scholler
for
the
singular
benefits
that
haue
their
confluence
to
a
man
by
Academicall
&
well
managed
Arts
;
)
yet
that
all
others
should
be
excluded
,
or
not
any
(
that
will
)
of
vnderstanding
and
honest
life
(
vpon
good
occasion
,
the
Premisses
considered
)
should
be
allowed
of
,
I
know
not
yet
one
reason
of
many
(
me
thinkes
)
to
the
contrary
,
to
ratisie
that
opinion
;
for
if
wee
consider
the
many
benefits
for
one
inconvenience
,
thereupon
ensuing
that
stand
up
to
plead
for
a
generall
tolleration
,
not
one
of
a
hundred
(
I
suppose
)
even
of
Schollers
themselues
but
will
ioyne
with
them
in
theyr
ready
approbation
.
For
first
of
all
is
not
that
Noble
Science
of
PRINTING
made
the
more
to
flourish
?
Doe
not
the
Masters
and
Artificers
thereof
become
able
,
not
onely
for
their
private
Families
,
but
also
Common-wealths
men
?
When
their
Presses
(
through
a
generall
supply
of
Coppies
)
never
want
worke
?
Are
not
Shops
the
better
furnisht
with
Bookes
,
and
kept
open
by
a
frequent
concourse
of
all
sorts
of
Buyers
,
through
the
variety
and
choyce
of
matter
there
to
bee
had
for
a
small
piece
of
mony
,
to
profit
themselves
by
other
mens
labours
of
an
incomparable
value
?
Doth
not
the
reading
of
a
few
harmelesse
lines
entertayne
divers
from
worse
exercises
,
whom
else
(
perhaps
)
better
things
would
scarce
content
?
〈◊〉
had
it
not
beene
profitable
for
many
to
have
exercised
themselves
in
writing
of
some
Manuscript
,
whilest
Idlenesse
and
ill-Company
have
beene
their
utter
bane
and
ruine
?
And
how
many
have
improved
theyr
parts
and
vacant
times
unto
a
good
sufficiency
of
doing
Service
both
in
Church
and
Common-weale
,
wherein
(
to
the
honor
and
profit
of
both
)
they
have
lived
,
by
applying
themselves
to
vertuous
studie●…
,
and
writing
their
Observations
,
that
never
(
perhap●…
)
eate
bread
in
a
Vniversitie
?
Or
why
doth
our
State
at
present
(
in
a
sort
)
allow
of
,
or
connive
at
this
tolleration
(
under
the
foresayd
Provisoes
)
but
for
these
or
the
like
godly
and
civill
policies
no
doubt
?
Besides
other
reasons
which
I
leave
to
others
;
but
if
none
of
these
will
passe
for
current
,
yet
could
I
wish
(
Gentle
Reader
)
that
Travellers
(
in
due
honor
to
their
Travailes
)
may
have
a
place
(
though
the
lowest
)
in
this
honourable
Priviledge
with
Schollers
and
Poets
,
even
for
their
experience
●…ake
.
A
man
that
hath
travelled
(
sayth
wise
Strach
)
knoweth
many
things
,
and
hee
that
hath
much
experience
will
declare
Wisedome
;
he
that
hath
no
experience
knoweth
little
,
but
he
that
hath
travayled
is
(
or
should
be
)
full
of
Prudence
;
to
wit
,
a
man
of
Counsell
and
Action
;
of
discourse
and
resolution
;

For
they
commonly
see

conceive

the●…
others
sitting
at

engaged

Occurrents
;
having
their
senses
exercised
,
their
bodyes
and
minds
hardened
by
sundry
difficulties
,
and
surviving
many
dangers
;
diving
into
the
different

and
observing
(
from
a
selfe-knowing
knowledge
)
the
good
and
the
evill
among
all
sorts
of
people
;
wisedome
also
insinuating
it selfe
there
,
after
a
more
familiar
fashion
then
elsewhere
,
and
thenceforth
disposing
them
(
oft
times
)
(
with
small
helps

incouragements
)
unto
the
weightiest
aff●…res

large
Observations
of

Divine
Power

to

of

the

good

by
the
right
use
which
ingenuous
minds
make
of
all
things
,
and
to
which
ends
onely
they
ought
to
be
written
;
When
I
travailed
I
saw
many
things
,
and
I
understand
mo●…e
then
I
can
expresse
;
I
was
oft

Deteyned
upon
some
●…mployment
at
the
Tower
of
Velis
Malaga
,
about
sales
and
returne
of
goods
for
England
,
there
chanced
into
the
Roade
(
among
other
ships
,
English
and
French
)
●…ertaine
Hollanders
,
that
brought
a
great
quantity
of
Pic●…elingos
,
or
counterfeyt
Copper
Mony
of
Spaine
,
called
〈◊〉
,
and
quartillos
,
which
by
stealth
at
〈◊〉
of
opportunity
they
landed
and
disperced
here
and
there
,
as
they
had
dohe
〈◊〉
other
Ports
:
This
in
short
space
came
to
be
suspected
by
the
plentifull
current
of
the
money
,
(
the
parties
themselves
being
gone
,
left
others
in
danger
)
hereupon
the
Shippes
remaining
in
the
Roade
were
searched
;
above
all
the
rest
,
suspicion
was
had
of
certaine
●…hips
belonging
to
the
businesse
whereon
I
lay
for
my
Master
and
others
,
whereof
Mr.
John
Pit
had
the
chiefe
charge
,
being
himselfe
at
Grand
Malaga
about
other
businesse
,
dispatching
for
England
;
but
they
apprehended
onely
his
Servant
or
Factor
one
Mr.
I
●…omas
S●…edmer
,
whom
they
found
aboord
,
ready
to
goe
for
Malaga
,
and
thence
also
for
England
;
him
they
carryed
away
Prisoner
to
Motril
,
about
three
leagues
Eastward
,
where
hee
was
certaine
weekes
,
rackt
and
hardly
used
;
how
hee
or
the
ships
were
released
,
I
am
not
so
punctuall
in
my
remembrance
as
to
relate
,
nor
is
it
much
materiall
(
this
being
above
twenty
yeares
since
)
yet
at
length
released
they
were
,
for
the
truth
then
came
to
light
;
and
whether
by
torture
or
else
,
I
am
not
certaine
,
Mr.
Pit
himselfe
as
principall
,
was
layd
out
for
:
Officers
of
the
Inquisition
,
from
Motril
were
appointed
and
on
the
way
toward
Grand
Malaga
,
to
apprehend
him
:
This
by
a
happy
chance
(
being
at
the
water
side
to
heare
newes
)
I
vnderstood
;
I
went
presently
to
my
Almazen
,
or
Ware-house
;
wrote
him
a
word
or
two
of
advise
,
that
as
hee
tendred
his
life
(
upon
receit
thereof
)
to
retyre
himselfe
for
such
a
cause
,
which
I
sent
by
the
hand
of
a
Spaniard
,
a
lustie
sturdy
Companiero
,
of
whose
trustinesse
I
had
observed
something
before
,
having
imployed
him
about
styving
our
fruit
,
and
other
Reca●…dos
of

,
with
a

so
he
did
,
for
over
the
Rocke●…
and
high
Mountaines
,
(
like
a
Goat
)
h●…
made
such
a
nimble
expedition
that
he
overtooke
,
and
out
went
the
Mule-men
,
and
was
there
some
three
minutes
before
them
,
which
gave
my
advised
friend
,
the
advantage
of
his
absence
,
just
as
the
Alguazill
and
Officers
came
at
his
heeles
,
that
made
his
life
of
full
value
,
which
else
upon
any
Merchants
ensurance
there
,
(
by
that
time
they
had
hāper'd
him
)
had
not
beene
worth
one
Marvedi
.
This
newes
(
till
then
pensive
at
heart
in
expectation
of
the
event
)
cheered
me
up
no
lesse
then
a
cup
of
neat
sparkeling
wine
,
especially
for
the
punctuality
of
the
successe
,
and
the
applause
of
my
diligent
penne
;
which
procured
me
the
love
of
those
which
had
never
seen
me
,
with
munchas
Mercedes
,
y
beso
las
manos
,
for
my
good
advise
;
and
afterward
upon
my
returne
to
Malaga
,
declared
it
by
a
generall
Bienvenido
,
or
welcome
.
And
how
God
did
require
this
small
myte
of
my
(
not
merit
but
)
good
will
(
for
hee
likes
not
)
to
speake
after
the
manner
of
men
)
to
be
long
in
any
mans
debt
(
but
with
more
advantage
to
him
)
though
alwayes
seeming
so
by
the
continuall
lengthning
out
of
his
mercies
(
if
we
observe
them
)
beyond
our
owne
time
,
even
to
posterity
,
from
generation
to
generatiō
;
as
if
by
this
kind
of
acknowledgement
of
his
(
for
his
owne
word
sake
)
he
were
still
indebted
to
us
and
ours
,
&
could
never

recompence
our
good
endeavours
,
by
the
utmost
of
his
infinite
goodnesse
freely
promised
thereunto
in
his
best
beloved
,
his
soules
delight
;
to
teach
us
that
we
should
never
be
weary
of
doing
him
like
acceptable
seruice
,
even
for
the
good
and
safety
temporall
and
eternall
,
of
our selves
and
ours
;
but
chiefly
for
his
owne
honour
and
glory
.
)
I
could
heere
well
declare
in
a
Cloud
of
particulers
ever
since
,
touching
his
wonderfull
providence
in
my
preserv●…tion
,
protection
,
and
deliverance
in
,
&
out
of
most
imminent
dangers
,
straytes
,
and
extremities
,
temptations
and
conflicts
;
but
for
brevity
sake
(
leaving
all
the
rest
)
I
will
touch
onely
three
,
wherein
Gods
power
,
and
mercifull
providence
did
plainely
declare
themselves
unto
my
Conscience
,
to
whose
praise
alone
I
speake
it
,
and
to
stirre
up
all
to
a
consideration
of
his
wonders
.
Not
long
after
this
Iubile
of
successe
(
the
brunt
of
businesse
being
ouerpast
)
I
went
to
Grand
Malaga
,
whether
indeed
my
desires
lead
me
(
contrarie
toreason
)
from
Uelis
Malaga
,
where
I
was
left
(
vpon
order
of
my
Master
)
by
Mr.
Pitt
.
in
the
house
of
a
Regidor
or
Alderman
,
Senior
Pablos
Nunnies
,
for
more
conueniency
to
learne
the
language
,
Rregalado
,
or
respected
as
in
their
owne
sonne
;
and
growing
daily
in
acquaintance
,
I
began
to
declare
my selfe
in
the
choyce
of
those
pleasures
wherevnto
my
nature
most
inclined
;
amongst
others
,
musicke
and
dancing
were
not
the
least
,
which
thus
occasioned
the
first
of
my
proposed
dangers
.
Lying
in
the
house
of
Capt●…ine
Simon
Boureman
,
of
best
resort
in
the
Cittie
by
Eng●…ish
Marchants
,
my
first
Rendeuous
in
Spaine
;
and
being
well
accommodated
for
all
things
,
I
fell
into
a
consort-ship
with
other
young
men
to
entertaine
an
Italian
to
teach
vs
to
dance
,
who
came
once
a
day
to
our
Chambers
;
and
in
taking
our
turnes
of
exercise
,
our
Tutor
vnaduisedly
commended
my
promptnesse
,
and
the
dexterity
of
my
bodie
;
whereat
one
of
the
Company
tooke
pepper
in
the
nose
,
and
told
me
(
in
the
contrary
tearmes
)
I
danced
like
a
clowne
;
knowing
his
malla●…ie
,
I
brake
it
off
with
a
Iest
,
and
a
nippe
withall
,
that
made
him
halfe
angry
;
til
frō
Iest
to
Iest
,
it
grew
into
plain
earnest
(
being
both
tender
enough
of
our
small
Reputations
)
and
sitting
with
our
vsuall
Company
at
supper
,
he
challenged
me
(
as
not
daring
)
to
fight
with
him
;
I
told
him
t'
was
then
no
time
for
such
a
businesse
,
but
that
(
perhaps
)
he
might
shortly
heare
of
me
,
as
halfe
determined
to
trie
what
mettle
was
in
either
;
the
next
morning
(
I
thinke
vnexpected
)
I
went
early
to
his
Chamber
doore
,
wa●…like
appointed
with
my
Rapier
and
dagger
(
yet
a
daily
Ornament
in
those
parts
,
as
any
part
of
our
apparell
,
wherein
(
be
it
knowne
to
all
men
)
for
my
owne
particuler
,
I
tooke
no
small
glory
)
and
finding
it
open
,
in
I
went
as
at
other
times
(
though
illaduised
in
that
poynt
)
where
I
found
him
writing
;
After
salutation
I
told
him
what
I
came
for
,
and
that
if
he
meant
to
acquite
his
honor
(
I
speake
after
y
●
Spanish
phrase
)
now
was
the
onely
time
fresh
and
fasting
to
walke
into
the
Field
,
to
preuent
Concourse
or
tumult
;
My
Gallant
foorthwith
changed
countenance
,
yet
making
wise
to
accept
the
offer
went
aside
,
and
seemed
to
make
choyce
of
his
weapons
(
hauing
change
of
Rapiers
by
him
)
and
taking
a
dagger
in
his
hand
(
mistrusting
no
Treacherie
)
sodenly
offerd
to
haue
stabbed
me
with
it
,
but
happily
intercepting
the
thrust
,
with
his
hand
that
held
it
,
I
closed
with
him
,
and
in
strugling
(
though
his
inferiour
both
in
age
and
stature
)
I
gaue
him
the
cleane
fall
backward
,
on
his
bed
,
and
fell
upon
him
,
setting
my
knee
on
his
brest
,
holding
downe
still
his
dagger
,
punching
it
vpward
with
all
his
might
at
my
face
,
and
at
length
I
wrest
it
from
him
;
yet
(
the
onely
poynt
of
manhood
I
obserued
in
him
)
hee
made
no
clamarous
out-cry
for
the
matter
,
as
knowing
(
belike
)
with
whom
he
had
to
deale
)
wherewith
(
as
I
told
him
,
to
requite
his
treachery
)
I
could
haue
slit
his
nose
,
or
minced
his
face
like
a
Carbonado
;
but
mercie
&
manhood
forbade
me
,
as
scor●…ing
indeed
the
basenesse
,
though
enough
prouoakt
;
nor
would
I
for
ten
thousand
pounds
haue
layne
in
like
sort
at
his
mercie
;
At
last
taking
my
best
oportunitie
,
I
suddenly
sprang
off
from
him
,
and
left
him
alone
in
his
Chamber
,
free
from
the
least
hurt
done
him
,
abiding
without
in
an
open
Court
vnder
a
Gallery
walke
,
resting
my selfe
betweene
a
marble
Pillar
and
a
packe
of
cloth
,
leaning
on
the
pomell
of
my
Rapier
,
expecting
euery
moment
●…is
comming
forth
for
the
Field
,
but
his
intent
was
to
haue
finisht
the
combate
there
,
with
all
safetie
to
himselfe
,
and
sodaine
ruine
to
me
.
For
spying
me
through
his
doore
standing
at
that
disaduantage
(
yet
thankes
be
to
God
not
walking
,
for
then
he
had
taken
me
napping
)
he
rusht
out
suddenly
vpon
me
with
a
naked
Rapier
making
a
main
thrust
at
my
face
,
which
againe
(
as
happily
as
the
●…ormer
)
I
put
by
with
my
hand
,
yet
not
so
,
but
that
(
glancing
my
throate
)
it
toucht
my
beardlesse
chinne
,
and
made
the
bloud
run
downe
;
but
feeling
my selfe
alive
,
I
instantly
drew
(
God
forgive
me
all
)
with
a
full
resolution
to
have
runne
him
through
,
as
doubtlesse
I
had
,
up
to
the
very
〈◊〉
,
had
not
the
spirit
of
wisdome
or
feare
made
him
caper
backward
with
a
leape
(
I
still
blesse
God
for
it
)
that
I
never
saw
the
like
.
Timor
addit
alas
.
Feare
gives
wings
.
But
considering
the
danger
of
that
play
(
for
I
had
wit
in
my
anger
,
though
some
that
beheld
us
,
sayd
,
I
fought
sa●…s
feare
or
wit
)
and
changing
my
purpose
,
I
followed
him
close
with
a
double
stroake
two
or
three
immediately
succeeding
,
swift
as
lightning
;
for
though
not
slightly
stirred
,
yet
being
too
farre
provoked
,
(
to
the
terrour
of
all
proud
,
and
commonly
false-hearted
provokers
,
I
may
iustly
speake
it
)
my
dreadlesse
spirit
would
then
haue
borne
me
through
the
middest
of
an
Army
.
In
which
short
conflict
,
I
did
so
macerate
his
Arme
from
the
hand
to
the
Elbow
,
that
it
grieves
me
yet
to
thinke
of
it
,
(
so
little
doe
I
glory
in
the
Relation
,
save
only
in
our
mutuall
preservation
,
mine
owne
especially
from
so
imminent
destruction
)
and
being
gone
to
our
chambers
to
be
drest
,
to
tell
why
certaine
Spaniards
of
my
acquaintance
,
and
strangers
that
came
then
to
see
me
,
did
so
wonder
at
my
Rapier
,
feeling
the
edge
with
theyr
fingers
,
(
not
considering
the
principall
,
that
what
is
done
couragiously
and
with
expedition
,
is
throughly
done
.

was
,
because
(
besides
his
arme
)
I
had
pared
off
the
pappie
flesh
under
his
hand
;
out
in
sunder
a
thicke
gold
Ring
from
off
his
finger
;
and
withall
(
I
suppose
)
his
Rapier
,
for
at
the
last
stroake
,
that
also
fell
in
a
peece
with
the
rest
to
the
ground
.
At
the
sight
whereof
,
Mercy
and
Manhood
againe
held
my
hand
,
without
the
least
offer
to
prosecute
him
any
further
;
whereat
(
with
his
owne
)
there
was
a
suddaine
Albarote
,
or
out-cry
of
houshold
Servants
newly
up
,
Murther

and
of

that
had

that
Senior
Christoval
,
had
slaine
Senior
Fulano
:
but
(
a
thousand
thankes
to
God
)
it
was
not
so
;
whereupon
(
by
advise
of
the
best
in
the
house
(
in
secret
)
not
a
little
approving
the
exployt
,
nor
much
lamenting
(
but
in
shew
)
the
other
,
I
know
not
why
:
)
to
prevent
further
mischiefe
,
I
absented
my selfe
at
Velis
Malaga
,
making
of
necessity
a
Vertue
;
for
there
in
Company
of
onely
one
English
Merchant
,
Capt.
Lee
by
name
,
I
improved
my
study
,
wrote
them
backe
Spanish
Epistles
,
and
profited
mightily
;
having
ever
since
beene
a
man
of
peace
,
conquering
by
suffering
,
and
prevailing
by
yeelding
,
yet
not
basely
neyther
,
but
understandingly
too
:
being
minded
henceforth
(
for
ought
I
know
)
never
more
to
draw
sword
,
but
against
the
Enemies
of
God

my

and
my

wherein
God
strengthen
my
resolution

Amen

The

(
for

some

procuring
my

among

,
of
lesse
Profession
,
yet
better
condition
,
I
chanced
to
be
acquainted
with
a
very
Rooke
(
as
some
terme
them
)
yet
so
well
clad
in
a
religious
habit
of
smooth
discourse
,
that
I
durst
have
trusted
him
almost
with
my
life
;
so
dangerous
is
a
fayre
shew
without
substance
:
the
word
of
trust
without
Truth
,
the
name
of
a
friend
,
without
the
fruits
of
friendship
,
or
the
inspection
of
wisedome
to
discerne
the
subtilties
of
Hypocrisie
,
that
the
very
best
(
of
which
soever
side
)
are
,
and
have
bin
subiect
to
be
deceived
,
that
none
should
be
too
credulous
of
faire
shews
or
reports
,
as
they
tēder
their
owne
good
,
in
cherishing
(
all
they
can
against
Envie
)
the
due
estimation
of
vertue
in
themselves
or
any

This
man
(
upon
a
proiect
of
some
profit
,
probable
enough
had
his
intent
been
honest
,
or
my
serious
studies
in

affaires

me
to
have
frequēted

suspected
him
;
(

oportunity
not
so
much
makes

takes
a

an
honest

scornes
the
temptation

wound
himselfe

at

(
to

the

of

was
glad
to

Introduction
thereunto
.
For
to
get
this
mony
I
was
forced
to
dispense
with
my
study
(
to
wit
K.
Davids
Psalmes
,
and
St.
〈◊〉
Epistles
;
a
word
or
two
whereof
in
a
short
Treatise
touching
theyr

,

composed

I
once
purposed
should
have

the

unto

my
Travels

and
to
make
many
a

to
,
and
against

;
among

,
taking
the
pleasure
of
a
dainty
frosty
Sunshine
morning
(
whilest
my
Irish
Colt
tooke
his

at

I
made
a

7.
miles
to
speake
with
him
at
his

(
having
chāged
his

on

between
Ballye

went
aside
out
of
a
faire
greene
Lancher
,
betwixt
two
great
opē
fields
under
a
hedge
,
to
cover
my
feet
,
not
●…eeing
nor
mistrusting
any
danger
,
yet
(
in
stooping
downe
)
had
this
thought
in
my
minde
;
good
Lord
preserve
me
,
this
may
be
my
last
breathing
:
after
a
while
looking
up
,
right
before
me
within
twice
my
length
stood
a
great
grisly
Wolfe
,
bigger
then
a
Mastiffe
,
with
a
long
bobbe
Taile
,
p●…ick-eard
,
and
a
lanke
body
,
stocke
still
looking
on
me
.
Though
somewhat
apàlled
at
this
strange
sight
,
yet
to
run
▪
conceived
was
danger
(
for
I
had
wit
in
my
feare
,
as
before
in
my
anger
)
and
therefore
quietly
hasting
to
be
ready
for
him
,
still
fixing
my
eye
on
his
(
wherein
lyes
a
mystery
)
till
I
had
fastened
my
poynt
;
and
drawing
my
knife
,
with
a
sm●…l
wand
in
my
hand
,
I
went
on
guardant
,
soft
and
faire
,
observing
how
the
Curre
dogg'd
me
,
(
for
't
is
a
Creature
(
simply
considered
)
as
full
of
craft
and
subtilty
,
as
of
greedinesse
and
cruelty
,
which
meeting
in
men
(
as
commonly
they
lurke
together
,
one
being
cause
of
the
other
)
doe
make
them
more
brutish
and
dangerous
(
God
defend
me
from
them
)
then
wilde
beasts
;
such
as
St.
Paul
had
to
fight
withall
at
Ephesus
,
(
unreasonable
and
absurd
people
)
as
doubtlesse
many
good
mē
have
elsewhere
dayly
,
)
and
then
turning
towards
him
,
and
standing
still
awhile
,
he
would
doe
the
like
(
for
I
could
haue
bin
content
,
on
a
fayre
defence
)
to
haue
tryed
the
combate
with
him
,
in
assured
hope
to
haue
cut
his
throat
,
to
enlarge
my
Scutchion
with
a
Wolfe
,
or
a
Wolfes
head
in
a
Canton
,
for
an
addition
of
honor
,
as
well
to
my
Ancestry
,
as
happily
to
my
heyres
and
posterity
,
for
God
onely
makes
and
gives
all
.
In
this
sort
perusing
one
another
,
on
we
went
in
company
about
halfe
a
quarter
of
a
Mile
together
,
till
(
being
Market
day
at
Tullough
)
people
came
riding
by
,
away
he
went
,
but
with
admiration
of
all
(
in
such
sort
)
to
have
escaped
his
clutches
;
affirming
it
to
be
the
He●…
or
〈◊〉
Wolfe
,
that
a
long
time
had
ranged
thereabout
;
done
much
mischiefe
to
man
&
beast
;
and
could
never
be
taken
.
Though
now
ridde
of
my
rude
companiō
,
I
durst
not
be
too
secure
,
least
on
the
sodaine
we
might
meet
againe
;
but
euer
with
an
eye
in
my
pole
,
on
I
went
still
guardant
,
till
I
came
to
Kiel
Jannicke
,
aside
off
Castle
Lyons
,
and
there
found
my
Friend
to
little
or
no
purpose
;
but
at
my
returne
〈◊〉
got
a
rusty
sword
for
my
better
defence
,
in●…
case
of
necessitie
,
which
now
&
then
I
thought
good
to
excercise
against
a
bush
or
a
Thistle
,
with
a
thrust
at
the
one
,
and
a
slash
at
the
other
,
supposing
the
Woolfe
to
haue
bin
either
;
perhaps
(
I
am
not
sure
)
like
that
valiant
countrie
Travayler
(
according
to
the
common
Tale
)
who
going
home
late
in
an
Euening
from
worke
,
in
like
sort
laying
about
him
(
as
he
went
)
with
his
Trun●…
,
at
the
sodaine
out-cry
of
a
fewe
Duckes
,
quake
,
quake
,
being
at
his
wits
end
,
disclaimed
all
his
former
behauiour
,
with
a
fearefull
protest
as
(
who
should
iudge
him
)
to
be
but
a
poore
Travayler
,
that
neuer
strook
man
in
his
life
▪
nor
meant
to
doe
;
and
so
more
afraid
then
hurt
(
hauing
scaped
a
scowring
)
he
went
soberly
home
to
sleep
:
as
I
also
being
deliuered
frō
my
so
great
a
danger
at
retu●…ne

on

gaue

The
next
and
last
never
to
be
forgotten
,
was
now
of
late
the
29.
of
August
1632.
passing
from
the
Exchange
toward
my
lodging
;
in
Lothbury
from
foure
Story
high
,
there
sodainly
fell
downe
into
the
street
(
by
what
meanes
God
knowes
,
but
very
strangely
)
a
whole
Window
of
glasse
in
a
thicke
frame
of
Timber
,
all
fast
in
a
lumpe
together
,
and
in
the
fall
strooke
onely
the
brim
of
my
hat
,
missing
my
head
but
two
or
three
inches
at
most
,
by
meanes
I
thinke
)
of
then
mending
my
pace
,
(
not
knowing
why
)
at
the
instant
(
I
remember
)
when
I
sprang
over
into
that
side
of
the
street
,
which
else
(
doubtlesse
)
had
strooke
mee
stone
dead
,
so
violent
was
f●…ll
;
for
which
let
my
soule
for
ever
〈◊〉
thee
(
O
Lord
)
and
all
than
is
within
meblesse
his
holy
name
,
●…s
two
or
three
of
those
that
saw
the
manner
thereof
(
I
thanke
them
)
put
me
in
mind
so
to
doe
.
The
Angell
of
the
Lord
(
sayth
David
)
encampeth
round
about
them
that
feare
him
,
and
delivereth
them
.
Tast
therefore
and
consider
that
the
Lord
is
good
,
blessed
is
the
man
that
trusteth
in
him
;
for
though
his
wisedome
(
to
exalt
the
glorious
Maiesty
of
his
power
)
leads
them
into
temptations
and
dangers
,
yet
his
vigilant
providence
(
for
his
promise
sake
)
never
leaves
them
;
I
will
never
fayle
thee
nor
forfake
thee
:

Affliction
(
like
Pauls
Viper

at
first
begets
censure
,
but
(
upon
delivery
)
it
is
the
cause
of
honour
