when
I
came
to

,
I
vnderstoode
that
the
ship
that
had
my
3.
bales
of
cloth
was
cast
away
and
lost
,
so
that
I
lost
my
800
Seraffines
or
duckets
,
and
departing
from
Cochin
to
go
from
S.
Tome
:
I
in
casting
about
for
the
Ilande
of
Zeiland
the
Pilote
was
deceiued
,
for
that
the
cape
of
the
Iland
of
Zeyland
,
lieth
far
out
into
the
sea
,
and
the
Pilot
thinking
that
he
might
haue
passed
hard
abord
the
cape
:
and
paying
remour
in
the
night
:
when
it
was
morning
we
were
farre
within
the
cape
,
and
past
all
remedy
to
goe
out
,
by
reason
the
windes
blewe
so
fearcely
against
vs
.
So
that
by
this
meanes
wee
lost
our
voyage
for
that
yere
,
and
we
went
to
Manar
with
the
ship
to
Winter
there
,
the
Ship
hauing
lost
her
mas●tes
,
and
with
great
diligence
we
hardly
saued
her
with
great
losses
to
the
captaine
of
the
Ship
,
because
hee
was
forced
to
fraight
another
Ship
in
S.
Tomes
from
Pegu
with
great
losses
&
interest
,
&
I
with
my
frends
agréed
together
in
Manar
to
take
a
bark
to
cary
vs
to
S.
Tomes
,
which
thing
,
we
did
with
al
the
rest
of
the
merchants
,
&
ariuing
at
S.
Tomes
I
had
news
through
or
by
the
way
of
Bengala
that
in
Pegu
:
Opium
was
verie
dear
,
&
I
knew
that
in
S.
Tome
there
was
no
Opium
but
mine
to
go
from
Pegu
that
yeere
,
so
that
I
was
holden
of
all
the
Merchantes
there
:
to
be
verie
rich
,
and
so
it
would
approued
,
if
my
aduerse
fortunes
had
not
beene
contrarie
to
my
hope
,
which
was
this
.
At
that
time
there
went
a
great
shippe
I
thinke
it
verie
necessarie
before
I
ende
my
voyage
,
to
reason
somewhat
,
and
to
shew
what
fruits
the
Indies
doth

there
is
a

beast
in

is

as
big
as
a

which
beast
they
take
aliue
,
&
beat
him
to
death
with
small
staues
that
his
blood
may
be
spread
through
his
whole
bodie
,
then
they
cut
it
in
péeces
,
and
take
out
all
the
bones
,
and
beat
the
flesh
with
the
bloud
in

it
