The
miserable
captiuitie
of
Richard
Hasleton
,
borne
at
Brainetree
in
Essex
.
IN
the
yeare
1582.
departing
the
English
coast
toward
the
ende
of
May
,
in
a
ship
of
London
,
called
the
Mary
Marten
,
one
of
the
owners
was
a
citizen
of
London
,
called
M.
Eastwoode
,
the
other
of
them
named
Maister
Estridge
dwelling
at
Lime-house
,
being
laden
and
bound
for
Petrach
.
A
Towne
of
ma●te
,
being
within
the
dominion
of
the
Turke
,
where
we
safely
ariued
and
made
our
marte
,
and
within
eight
and
twentie
daies
wente
lading
homeward
,
and
presently
we
waied
anker
,
and
set
saile
,
and
comming
out
of
the
golfe
of
Lepontoe
,
grounded
vpon
a
rocke
,
lying
on
the
larboarde
side
,
béeing
in
very
great
daunger
,
in
doubt
to
loose
both
ship
and
goods
,
yet
it
pleased
God
that
we
recouered
.
Then
about
the
middest
of
the
moneth
of
Iuly
,
we
came
right
before
Cape
de
gatte
,
when
hauing
a
very
small
winde
,
we
discried
two
Gallies
,
whereupon
the
maister
commaunded
the
gunner
to
put
forth
the
ordinance
,
and
to
heaue
the
skiffe
ouer
board
,
then
did
the
gunner
demaund
of
the
maister
to
make
a
shot
,
which
he
graunted
.
Then
did
he
bestow
eight
and
twentie
shot
,
but
to
no
purpose
,
for
the
enemy
lay
very
far
out
.
Now
when
we
sawe
our
shot
and
powder
spent
so
much
in
waste
,
some
of
our
company
cryed
to
our
maister
to
shew
the
Turkes
letters
,
but
he
would
not
,
but
commaunded
the
gunner
still
to
shoot
,
for
now
the
Gallies
were
within
shot
,
and
did
shoote
at
vs
,
both
with
great
shot
and
Muskets
,
and
presently
both
our
gunners
were
slaine
,
both
with
on
shot
,
and
some
other
maimed
,
whereby
we
were
in
great
doubt
,
for
the
Gallies
lying
on
both
sides
of
vs
,
one
of
them
had
shot
vs
vnder
water
,
whereby
our
ship
was
foundred
before
we
perceiued
:
then
we
perceiuing
the
ship
to
sinke
from
vs
,
such
as
were
weriest
lept
into
the
skiffe
,
as
many
as
it
was
able
to
beare
▪
the
rest
leaping
ouer
board
,
such
as
could
swim
saued
them selues
,
going
aboard
the
Gallies
,
the
other
were
drowned
.
Now
I
being
the
last
man
vpon
the
batches
,
because
I
was
at
the
sterne
and
being
sore
hurte
with
a
Muscot
shot
,
the
Turkes
made
hast
to
board
our
ship
,
hoping
to
saue
some
of
our
goods
,
two
of
them
came
aboard
,
the
first
came
to
me
and
tooke
me
by
the
bosome
.
I
drew
out
my
knife
very
spéedily
and
thrust
him
into
the
body
,
and
so
slew
him
the
other
was
gone
downe
into
the
ship
where
I
left
him
,
for
euen
then
was
the
ship
sinking
from
me
,
wherefore
I
betooke
my selfe
to
swimming
and
turning
me
about
to
sée
the
ship
I
cou'd
see
nothing
thereof
but
onely
the
flag
:
then
did
I
●●oun
to
the
Gallies
,
and
laying
holde
vpon
an
oare
,
got
into
the
Gallie
:
when
I
was
aboard
,
I
stripped
of
my
clot●es
,
then
presently
was
I
commaunded
to
the
Poope
to
talke
with
the
Captaine
,
who
inquired
of
me
whether
I
was
a
Marchant
,
which
because
I
would
not
confesse
,
he
gaue
me
xv
.
strokes
with
a
cudgell
,
and
then
put
me
in
the
Ga●lie●
holde
,
where
I
was
sixe
dayes
,
taking
very
little
sustenance
,
lying
in
extreame
paines
,
by
reason
of
my
hurts
which
▪
I
haue
receiued
in
the
fight
,
and
with
anguish
of
minde
for
my
harde
happe
.
About
thrée
monthes
after
the
Gallies
returned
to
Argire
,
where
immediatly
after
my
landing
I
was
s●lde
for
66.
doubles
.
Then
did
I
fall
into
extreame
sicknesse
for
ten
dayes
space
,
no●withstanding
I
was
sent
to
sea
by
my
maister
(
to
whom
I
was
sold
)
to
labour
in
the
Gallies
at
an
Oares
end
,
where
I
remain●d
thrée
moneths
,
being
very
féeble
and
weake
,
by
reason
my
sicknes
continued
the
most
part
of
that
time
,
yet
was
I
constr●ined
either
to
labour
or
else
to
loose
my
head
.
I
had
no
other
choice
:
then
the
Gallies
returning
home
to
Argire
,
after
my
comming
on
shore
I
was
in
a
maruailous
weaknesse
,
what
with
contin●all
labour
,
with
beating
,
and
with
sicknesse
,
which
indured
thrée
monthe●
,
being
in
a
most
miserable
estate
without
all
sucker
,
seeing
no
man
to
pitty
my
miserie
,
hauing
no
nourishment
but
onely
bread
and
water
,
and
that
but
sma●l
quantity
:
no
apparrell
on
me
but
a
thi●
shirt
,
●nd
a
paire
of
linnen
bréeches
,
and
l●dged
in
a
stable
on
the
colde
ground
.
Thus
I
being
almost
in
dispaire
euer
to
recouer
,
yéelded
my self●
to
the
will
of
Almightie
God
,
whom
it
pleased
in
the
en●
to
giue
me
a
little
strength
.
And
after
for
the
space
of
two
years
or
more
▪
I
was
diuers
times
at
my
labour
at
the
oares
end
,
after
my
accustome●
manner
,
till
such
time
our
sléete
of
Gallies
〈◊〉
wi●h
the
Gallies
of
Genua
néere
the
Christian
shore
,
and
they
following
●●
in
cha●e
,
it
chanced
by
reason
of
tempest
,
that
our
Galley
was
cast
away
néere
vnto
the
wea●
side
of
the
Iland
Fermonterra
:
there
were
in
it
of
Christians
and
Turkes
to
the
number
of
two
hundred
and
fiftie
,
which
were
all
drowned
,
except
fiftéene
,
of
which
my selfe
with
two
others
,
with
great
difficultie
brake
o●r
chaines
,
and
taking
hol●e
vpon
an
Oare
,
we
escaped
to
the
shore
,
not
without
great
danger
of
drowning
.
We
being
now
gotten
to
land
,
and
accompanied
both
with
Turkes
and
Christians
,
we
tooke
our
rest
vnder
bushes
and
thickets
,
the
Turkes
were
very
vnwilling
to
depart
with
vs
,
thinking
to
finde
some
other
Galley
of
the
company
to
take
vs
aboard
and
carie
vs
back
to
Argire
,
but
we
hoping
now
to
get
out
liberties
,
conueyed
our selues
as
secretly
as
we
could
into
the
w●●ds
▪
and
went
vnto
a
●●ck
and
with
sharpe
stones
we
did
beat
off
our
Irons
,
and
s●ed
●●mediatly
to
the
Christians
,
and
yée●ded
our selues
:
but
one
of
them
which
escaped
with
me
who
was
borne
in
S●lauony
,
tol●e
them
that
I
was
and
English
Lutherian
.
Then
was
I
presently
caried
aboard
a
Gallie
of
Genua
,
and
put
in
chaines
,
and
vpon
the
mo●row
was
I
sent
ouer
into
the
Isle
of
Iuisey
,
being
within
the
iurisdiction
of
Maiorque
,
which
all
are
in
the
dominion
of
Spaine
)
there
was
I
imprisoned
in
the
high
Tower
of
the
towne
Castell
,
with
a
paire
of
bolts
vpon
my
héeles
,
&
a
claspe
of
Iron
about
my
necke
,
there
hanging
a
chaine
at
the
claspe
,
where
I
remained
nine
dayes
,
fed
with
a
little
bread
and
water
.
Now
because
I
had
in
no
respect
offended
them
,
I
demaunded
wherefore
they
molested
me
,
saying
it
was
contrary
to
law
and
the
profession
of
Christians
.
Then
did
they
aske
me
if
I
had
spoken
any
thing
against
the
king
,
and
against
the
Church
of
Rome
?
I
answered
nothing
.
Then
they
tolde
me
I
should
be
sent
to
Maiorque
,
to
answere
before
the
Inquisition
.
Then
the
Iustice
or
chiefe
officer
of
Iuesey
brought
me
backe
to
Genua
,
requesting
to
haue
me
chained
in
a
Galley
,
which
the
Captaine
did
,
asking
the
Iustice
who
should
be
my
surety
for
running
away
?
He
demaunded
if
there
were
not
a
spare
chaine
?
he
said
yes
:
then
he
commaunded
a
chaine
to
be
brought
foorth
,
and
chained
me
at
the
sixt
Oare
before
,
where
I
rowed
vntill
we
came
to
the
Porte
of
Spine
in
Maiorque
,
garding
me
with
xiiij
Gallies
.
Then
were
the
●●●icers
of
the
Inquisition
,
sent
for
by
the
Captaine
,
which
came
the
second
day
after
our
comming
there
:
and
at
their
comming
they
offered
me
the
Par
,
which
I
refused
to
touch
:
wherevpon
they
reuiled
me
,
and
called
me
Lutheran
,
taking
me
presently
out
of
the
Galley
,
carried
me
on
shore
in
Maiorque
,
and
finding
the
Inquisitor
walking
in
the
Market
place
,
presented
me
to
him
,
saying
:
Here
is
the
prisoner
.
He
immediatly
commaunded
me
to
prison
,
whether
they
carried
me
,
and
put
a
paire
of
shackles
on
my
héeles
,
where
I
remained
two
daies
.
Then
was
I
brought
forth
into
a
Church
,
where
the
Inquisitor
sate
vsually
in
iudgement
:
who
being
ready
set
,
commaunded
me
to
knéele
downe
and
to
do
homage
to
certaine
images
which
were
before
me
,
I
tolde
him
I
would
not
do
that
which
I
knew
to
be
contrary
to
the
commaundements
of
Almighty
God
,
neither
had
I
béene
brought
vp
in
the
Romaine
lawe
,
neither
would
I
submit
my selfe
to
it
.
He
asked
me
why
I
would
not
?
I
answered
,
that
whereas
in
England
,
where
I
was
borne
and
brought
vp
,
the
Gospell
was
trulie
preached
,
and
mainteined
by
a
most
gracious
Princes
,
therefore
I
would
not
now
commit
Idolatrie
,
which
is
vtterly
con●emned
by
the
word
of
God
.
Then
he
charged
me
to
vtter
the
truth
,
otherwise
I
should
abide
the
smart
:
Then
was
a
stoole
set
,
and
he
commanded
me
to
sit
downe
before
him
,
and
offered
me
the
crosse
,
bidding
me
reuerently
to
lay
my
hand
vpon
it
,
and
vrged
me
instantlie
to
do
it
,
which
mooued
me
so
much
,
that
I
did
spit
in
the
Inquisitors
face
,
far
which
the
Scribe
gaue
me
a
good
buffet
on
the
face
.
So
for
that
time
we
had
no
more
reasoning
,
for
the
Inquisitor
did
ring
a
little
Bell
,
to
call
vp
the
kéeper
,
and
caried
me
to
warde
againe
,
and
the
third
day
I
was
brought
forth
againe
to
the
place
aforesaid
.
Then
the
Inquisitor
asked
me
what
I
had
séene
in
the
Churches
of
England
,
I
answered
that
I
had
séene
nothing
in
the
Church
of
England
,
but
the
word
of
God
truly
preached
:
then
he
demaunded
how
I
had
receiued
the
Sacraments
?
I
replied
that
I
had
receiued
them
according
to
the
institution
of
Christ
that
is
,
I
receiued
the
bread
in
remembrance
that
Christ
in
the
flesh
died
vp●n
the
crosse
for
the
redemption
of
man
.
How
(
said
he
)
hast
thou
receiued
the
Wine
?
whereto
I
replied
and
said
,
that
I
rec●iued
the
wine
in
remembrance
that
Christ
shed
his
bloud
to
wash
away
our
sinnes
●e
said
it
was
in
their
manner
,
I
said
no
:
then
he
charged
me
to
speake
the
truth
,
or
I
should
die
for
it
.
I
told
him
I
did
speake
the
truth
,
and
wou'd
speake
the
truth
:
for
(
said
I
)
it
is
better
for
me
to
die
guiltlesse
then
guiltie
.
Then
did
he
with
great
vehemency
charge
me
againe
to
speake
the
f●●th
,
and
sware
by
the
Catholick
Church
of
Rome
,
that
if
I
did
not
,
I
should
dye
in
fier
,
then
I
said
,
if
I
died
in
the
faith
,
which
I
had
confessed
I
should
die
guiltlesse
,
and
tolde
him
he
had
made
a
vaine
othe
.
And
so
I
willed
him
to
vse
no
circumstance
to
diswade
me
from
the
truth
,
for
you
cannot
preuaile
though
I
be
now
in
your
hands
,
where
you
haue
power
ouer
my
body
▪
yet
haue
you
no
power
ouer
mysoule
.
I
told●
him
he
made
a
long
ma●ter
farre
from
the
truth
,
for
which
he
said
I
should
die
.
Then
he
had
me
say
what
I
could
to
saue
myselfe
:
where
I
replied
as
followeth
.
Touching
the
maner
of
the
receiuing
of
Sacraments
,
where
he
said
it
was
like
to
theirs
:
you
(
said
I
)
when
you
receiue
the
bread
,
say
it
is
the
very
body
of
Christ
,
and
likewise
you
affirme
the
wine
to
be
his
very
bloud
,
which
I
denied
:
saying
that
it
was
vnpossible
for
a
mortall
man
to
eate
the
materiall
body
of
Christ
,
or
to
drinke
his
bloud
.
Then
he
said
I
had
blasphemed
the
Catholick
Church
,
I
answered
that
I
had
said
nothing
against
the
true
Catholick
church
,
but
altogether
against
the
false
church
:
he
asked
how
I
could
prooue
it
,
saying
,
if
I
could
not
prooue
it
,
I
should
die
a
mos●
cruell
death
.
Note
by
the
way
,
that
when
any
man
is
in
durance
for
religi●n
he
is
called
to
answere
before
no
●●en
assembly
,
but
onely
in
the
presence
of
the
Inquisitor
,
the
Secretarie
,
and
the
Solic●●●●
,
whom
they
terme
the
Broker
:
the
〈◊〉
is
as
I
take
it
,
be●●use
they
doubt
that
very
many
of
their
owne
people
〈◊〉
confesse
the
Gospel
,
if
they
did
but
〈◊〉
and
vnderstand
their
absurd
dealing
.
Againe
to
the
matter
because
it
was
so
secret
,
they
v●ged
me
to
speake
the
more
:
then
he
inquired
whether
I
〈◊〉
euer
bin
conf●st
,
I
said
yes
:
he
demaunded
to
whom
?
I
said
to
God
:
he
asked
me
if
I
had
euer
confessed
to
any
Frier
?
I
said
no
,
for
I
do
vtterly
defie
them
:
for
how
can
he
forgiue
me
my
sinnes
,
which
is
himselfe
a
sinner
as
all
other
men
are
.
Yes
sayd
he
,
he
which
confesseth
himselfe
to
a
Frier
,
who
is
a
Father
,
may
haue
remission
of
his
sinnes
by
his
mediation
,
which
I
said
I
would
neuer
beléeue
.
Wherefore
séeing
they
could
s●duce
me
by
no
meanes
,
to
〈◊〉
to
their
abhominable
id●latrie
,
the
Secretary
cried
,
Away
with
him
:
the
Inquisitor
and
he
●rowned
very
angerly
on
me
for
the
aunswers
which
I
had
giuen
,
and
said
they
would
make
me
tell
an
other
tale
.
So
at
the
ringing
of
a
little
Bell
the
Kéeper
came
and
caried
me
to
warde
againe
.
At
my
first
examination
,
w●en
the
Kéeper
should
lead
me
away
,
the
Inquisitor
did
blesse
me
with
the
Crosse
,
but
neuer
after
.
Two
dayes
a●ter
was
I
brought
and
set
againe
vpon
a
stoole
before
the
Inquisitor
,
he
bad
me
aske
misericordiam
,
I
tolde
him
I
would
craue
mercie
of
Iesus
Christ
,
who
died
for
my
sinnes
,
other
misericordiam
I
would
craue
none
.
Then
he
commanded
me
to
knéele
before
the
Aultar
,
I
said
I
would
,
but
not
to
pray
to
any
image
,
for
yo●r
Altar
so
adorned
with
many
painted
images
(
which
were
fashioned
by
the
hands
of
sinfull
men
,
)
which
haue
mouthes
and
speake
not
,
eares
and
heare
not
,
nosesand
smell
not
▪
han●s
and
handle
not
,
féete
haue
they
and
walke
not
,
&c
,
which
God
dot●
not
allow
at
his
Altar
,
for
he
hath
●tterly
condemned
them
by
his
word
.
Then
he
said
I
had
béene
wrong
taught
,
for
said
he
,
whosoeuer
shall
s●●
these
figures
in
earth
,
may
the
better
remember
him
in
heauen
,
whose
likenesse
it
doth
represent
,
who
would
be
a
mediator
to
God
for
vs
:
but
I
replied
that
all
images
were
an
abhemination
to
the
Lord
,
for
he
hath
condemned
them
in
expresse
words
by
his
owne
mouth
,
saying
:
Thou
shalt
not
make
thy selfe
any
grauen
image
,
&c.
Yea
said
he
,
but
we
haue
néede
of
a
Mediator
to
make
intercession
for
vs
,
for
we
are
vnworthy
to
pray
to
God
our selues
,
because
we
are
vile
sinners
,
I
sayde
there
was
no
mediato●
but
Iesus
Christ
:
where
a●ter
many
absurd
reasons
and
vaine
perswasions
,
he
tooke
a
pause
.
Then
I
asked
him
why
he
kept
me
so
l●ng
in
prison
,
which
neuer
committed
offence
to
them
,
knowing
very
well
that
I
had
béene
Captaine
in
Argire
néere
fiue
yeares
space
:
saying
,
That
when
God
by
his
mercifull
prouidence
,
had
thorow
many
great
dangers
,
set
me
in
a
Christian
countrie
,
and
deliuered
me
from
the
cr●elty
of
the
Turkes
,
when
I
thought
to
finde
such
fauour
as
one
Christian
oweth
to
another
,
I
found
them
now
more
cruell
then
the
Turkes
,
not
knowing
any
cause
why
.
The
cause
(
said
he
)
is
,
because
the
King
hath
warres
with
the
Quéene
of
England
(
for
at
that
instant
there
was
their
Armie
prepared
ready
to
go
for
England
:
)
wherevpon
they
would
diuers
times
giue
me
reprochefull
words
,
saying
that
I
should
héere
shortly
of
their
a●riuall
in
England
,
with
innumerable
vaine
bragges
,
which
I
omit
for
breuitie
.
Then
did
I
demande
if
there
were
not
peace
betwéene
the
king
and
the
Quéenes
Maiestie
?
whether
they
would
kéepe
me
still
?
yea
said
he
,
vnlesse
thou
wilt
submit
thy selfe
to
the
faith
of
the
Romish
Church
:
so
he
commaunded
me
away
,
I
asked
,
wherefore
he
sent
for
me
,
and
to
send
me
away
,
not
alledging
any
matter
against
me
?
he
said
I
should
haue
no
other
matter
alledged
,
but
that
which
I
had
spoken
with
mine
owne
mouth
.
Then
I
demanded
why
they
would
haue
the
Romish
Church
to
haue
the
supremacie
?
whereto
he
would
make
no
answer
.
Then
I
asked
if
they
tooke
me
to
be
a
Christian
?
yes
said
he
,
in
some
respect
,
but
you
are
out
of
the
faith
of
the
true
Church
.
Then
the
kéeper
tooke
me
to
prison
againe
:
and
after
for
the
space
of
thrée
wéekes
,
I
was
brought
forth
to
answer
,
thrée
seuerall
times
euery
wéeke
:
at
which
times
they
did
sometime
threaten
me
with
death
,
some
while
with
punishment
,
and
many
times
they
attempted
to
seduce
me
with
●aire
words
,
and
promises
of
great
preferment
,
but
when
they
sawe
nothing
would
drawe
me
from
the
truth
,
they
called
me
shamelesse
Lutherian
,
saying
many
times
:
sée
,
he
is
of
the
verie
bloud
of
Luther
,
he
hath
his
very
countenance
:
with
many
other
friuolous
spéeches
.
After
all
this
,
he
commaunded
to
put
me
in
the
dungion
within
the
Castell
,
fiue
fathem
vnder
ground
,
giuing
me
once
a
day
a
little
bread
and
water
,
which
they
let
downe
in
a
basket
with
a
rope
,
there
remained
I
one
whole
yeare
,
lying
on
the
bare
ground
séeing
neither
Sunne
nor
Moone
,
no
not
hearing
man
woman
or
chi●de
speake
,
but
onely
the
kéeper
which
brought
my
small
victuall
.
It
happened
about
the
yeares
end
,
vpon
the
feast
of
Philip
and
Iacob
,
being
the
first
day
of
Maye
,
that
a
prettie
boye
being
the
Keepers
sonne
,
came
to
giue
me
my
ordinarie
foode
,
which
he
vsed
sometime
to
do
.
Now
when
he
opened
the
doore
,
and
had
let
downe
the
basket
,
I
asked
who
was
there
?
he
answered
by
his
name
,
saying
here
is
Matthew
.
I
asked
him
where
his
Father
was
?
he
is
gone
to
Masse
,
said
he
:
so
he
let
downe
the
trap
doore
and
went
his
way
,
leauing
the
roape
with
the
basket
hanging
still
.
And
forasmuch
as
I
lay
without
all
comfort
,
reposing
my
selfe
onely
vnto
Gods
prouidence
,
yet
vnwilling
to
loose
any
opportenitie
that
lay
in
me
(
if
God
were
pleased
)
whereby
I
might
be
deliuered
.
So
soone
as
I
heard
the
boye
was
gone
.
I
iumped
vp
and
tooke
holde
vpon
the
reape
,
and
wound
my selfe
vp
to
the
doore
▪
setting
my
foote
against
the
wall
and
with
my
shoulders
did
I
lift
vp
the
trap
doore
.
Now
when
I
was
aloft
,
and
saw
no
man
,
for
they
were
gone
to
sée
some
ceremonies
of
their
idolatrous
exercises
in
the
citie
.
I
knew
no
way
to
escape
away
,
being
now
in
the
midst
of
the
way
:
wherefore
it
was
vnpossible
to
conuey
my selfe
so
secretly
but
I
should
be
espyed
.
Wherefore
for
a
present
shi●t
▪
I
went
secretly
into
a
voide
roome
of
the
Caste●l
,
where
lay
great
store
of
Lime
and
earth
,
where
I
tied
an
old
cloth
(
which
I
had
)
about
my
head
and
face
,
to
kéepe
the
dust
out
of
my
eyes
and
eares
,
an●
so
did
I
créepe
into
the
lime
,
and
couered
my selfe
so
well
as
I
could
▪
lying
there
till
toward
midnight
:
and
then
hearing
no
man
stirring
,
I
got
vp
,
and
sought
some
way
to
get
forth
but
could
finde
n●ne
.
Then
being
greatly
perplexed
,
I
bent
my selfe
to
the
good
pleasure
of
Almighty
God
,
making
my
humble
prayers
,
that
he
would
of
his
mercie
vouchsafe
to
deliuer
me
out
of
this
miserable
thraldome
And
searching
too
and
fro
,
in
the
end
I
came
where
thrée
great
horses
stoode
tyed
by
the
head
and
féete
:
then
did
I
vnloose
the
halters
from
their
heads
,
and
the
ropes
from
their
legs
,
and
went
to
the
castell
wall
:
when
I
had
tied
them
end
to
end
,
I
made
it
fast
to
the
body
of
a
Uine
which
grew
vpon
the
wall
,
and
by
it
did
I
strike
my selfe
over
the
wall
into
the
towne
ditche
,
where
I
was
constrained
to
swim
about
fortie
paces
,
before
I
could
get
forth
of
the
ditch
.
Then
walked
I
too
and
fro
in
the
city
aboue
two
houres
,
séeing
no
man
,
neither
could
I
deuise
any
way
forth
:
wherefore
I
retu●ned
backe
againe
to
the
towne
ditch
▪
to
sée
if
I
could
〈◊〉
any
way
to
bring
me
without
the
towne
walles
▪
and
following
the
ditch
,
at
the
last
I
perceiued
by
the
noyse
of
the
water
,
that
there
qas
a
water
gate
thorow
the
wall
:
where
I
〈◊〉
and
found
that
the
〈◊〉
of
the
water
was
vnder
the
wall
,
then
did
I
very
〈…〉
y
enter
the
water
,
and
diuing
vnder
water
,
got
into
the
watergate
,
and
sodainly
the
force
of
the
water
did
driue
me
through
with
such
violence
,
that
it
cast
me
headlong
against
an
other
wall
on
the
outside
,
which
with
the
blow
did
much
amase
me
:
yet
by
the
helpe
of
God
I
recouered
,
swimming
downe
the
ditch
,
till
I
came
where
was
a
trough
or
pipe
,
which
I
tooke
to
be
laid
ouer
the
d●tch
,
to
conuey
some
fresh
water
spring
into
the
city
:
there
did
I
climbe
vp
a
post
which
bare
the
same
,
and
got
vpon
the
top
of
the
pipe
,
where
some
of
the
watch
being
néere
the
wall
percei●ed
me
,
but
could
not
any
way
come
néere
to
me
.
Then
cried
they
in
their
toung
,
who
is
there
,
thrée
or
foure
times
,
but
I
made
no
answer
,
but
crept
as
fast
as
I
could
to
get
off
the
pipe
to
land
:
where
before
I
could
get
downe
,
they
shot
some
of
their
Muskets
after
me
,
but
thanked
be
God
none
of
the
shot
did
hit
me
.
Thus
with
great
difficultie
I
escaped
out
of
the
citie
,
and
went
about
six
miles
from
thence
before
the
day
brake
.
Thus
●●aueiling
for
the
most
part
by
night
,
I
cha●sed
to
come
where
was
a
house
standing
alone
,
and
néere
the
house
there
stoo●
a
cart
,
wherein
lay
certaine
horse
collers
,
where
searching
among
them
,
I
●ound
the
collars
lined
with
sh●●pe
skinnes
,
which
〈◊〉
I
〈◊〉
●pon
the
collars
,
and
apparrelled
my selfe
with
them
in
〈◊〉
manner
.
I
put
one
péece
before
me
like
a
brest-plate
,
and
an
〈◊〉
on
my
shoulders
and
backe
,
with
the
wool●ie
side
toward
my
body
〈◊〉
them
together
ouer
my
shoulders
&
vnder
my
armes
with
〈◊〉
,
which
is
a
wéede
like
to
that
whereof
our
hand-baske●●
are
made
,
which
is
we●l
knowne
to
such
as
haue
trauel●●●
〈◊〉
parts
▪
and
with
an
other
péece
I
made
me
a
cap.
And
in
〈◊〉
s●emely
ornaments
I
passed
forth
till
about
thrée
daies
after
,
〈◊〉
early
in
a
morning
,
most
vnhappily
I
crossed
an
high
way
,
〈◊〉
a
countryman
trauailing
with
a
Moile
laden
with
rund●●●●
of
wine
,
espied
me
,
and
demaunded
of
me
whether
I
was
bound
,
I
said
I
was
going
to
Coothea
,
which
is
a
towne
lying
vpon
the
shore
side
,
but
he
suspecting
me
to
be
the
man
which
was
pursued
,
b●d
me
stay
but
I
went
onward
,
he
ran
after
me
,
and
threw
stones
at
me
,
but
I
not
able
to
ouer-runne
him
,
being
very
●éeble
,
turned
backe
,
and
with
a
pole
which
I
caried
began
to
defend
my selfe
,
striking
at
him
thrée
or
foure
times
,
at
the
last
I
thrust
at
him
,
and
hit
him
on
the
brest
,
and
ouerthrew
him
,
wherevpon
he
made
a
horrible
crie
:
and
immediatly
there
came
to
the
number
of
fiftéene
more
,
some
horsemen
,
some
footemen
:
some
hauing
swordes
▪
some
Harquebushes
,
and
other
Crosbowes
:
when
I
was
thus
beset
,
knowing
no
way
to
escape
,
I
yéelded
my selfe
.
Then
they
bound
me
hands
and
feete
,
laid
me
on
a
Moyle
▪
and
caried
me
backe
againe
to
the
citie
of
Maiorque
,
deliuering
me
to
the
Inquisitor
,
who
when
he
had
sent
me
to
prison
,
commaunded
a
paire
of
boltes
to
be
put
on
my
legges
,
and
an
Iron
claspe
about
my
neck
,
with
a
chaine
of
fiue
fathome
long
hanging
thereat
,
which
was
done
accordingly
.
And
on
the
morrow
I
was
brought
foorth
to
the
accustomed
place
,
and
in
the
same
maner
,
where
the
Inquisitor
sitting
,
asked
me
first
why
I
had
br●ken
prison
,
and
runne
away
,
I
said
to
saue
my
life
:
yea
(
said
he
)
but
now
thou
hast
offended
the
law
more
then
before
,
and
therefore
shall
the
law
be
now
executed
vpon
thée
.
Then
I
was
carried
away
againe
,
and
immediatly
there
was
called
an
assembly
of
Cittizens
,
and
such
as
were
séene
in
the
law
,
to
counsell
,
and
to
take
aduice
,
what
punishment
they
might
inflict
vpon
me
▪
which
being
deliberated
:
I
was
brought
forth
againe
and
carried
to
the
place
of
torment
,
which
was
in
a
Cell
or
vaute
vnder
ground
,
there
being
present
but
foure
persons
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
Inquisitor
,
the
Solicitor
or
Broker
,
who
is
to
sée
the
law
executed
,
a
Dutche
woman
that
dwelt
in
the
citie
,
who
was
commanded
thether
to
tell
them
what
I
spake
,
because
I
spake
many
times
in
the
Dutche
tounge
,
and
lastly
the
tormentor
.
The
Racke
now
standing
ready
before
them
,
with
seauen
Flaxen
roapes
lying
thereon
,
new
bought
from
the
market
.
Then
the
Inquisitor
charged
me
(
as
at
all
other
times
he
vsed
to
do
)
that
I
should
speake
what
I
had
to
say
,
and
to
speake
the
truth
,
otherwise
I
should
be
euen
now
tormented
to
the
death
I
séeing
my selfe
in
the
hands
of
such
cruell
tyrants
,
as
alwayes
thirst
after
the
bloud
of
the
innocent
,
euen
as
Caine
who
being
wroth
with
his
brother
Abell
,
and
carrying
an
heauie
countenance
,
could
no
way
be
eased
but
with
his
brothers
bloud
:
so
I
past
hope
of
life
,
turned
my
back
toward
them
,
and
séeing
my
torments
present
before
me
,
I
fell
downe
vpon
my
knées
,
&
besought
the
Lord
to
forgiue
me
my
sinnes
,
and
to
strengthen
my
faith
,
and
to
graunt
me
pacience
to
indure
to
the
end
.
Then
they
tooke
me
into
a
voide
roome
,
and
stripped
me
out
of
my
ornaments
of
shéepe
skins
,
which
I
repeated
before
,
and
put
a
paire
of
strong
Canuas
bréeches
vpon
me
to
couer
my
pri●●ies
,
then
bringing
me
to
the
racke
againe
,
he
commaunded
me
to
lie
downe
(
the
barres
of
the
Racke
vnder
me
were
as
sharpe
as
the
backe
of
a
knife
)
now
I
willingly
yéelding
my selfe
,
lay
downe
,
then
the
tormentor
●ound
my
hands
ouer
my
brest
crossewise
,
and
my
legs
clasped
vp
together
,
were
fast
●ied
the
one
foot
to
the
other
knée
.
Then
he
fastened
to
either
arme
a
corde
,
about
the
brawne
of
the
arme
,
and
likewise
to
either
thigh
an
other
,
which
were
all
made
fast
againe
vnder
the
racke
to
the
barres
,
and
with
an
other
corde
he
bound
downe
my
head
,
and
put
a
hollow
Cane
into
my
mouth·
then
he
put
foure
cudgels
into
the
ropes
which
were
fastened
to
my
armes
and
thighes
.
Now
the
woman
which
was
present
being
interpretor
,
began
to
perswade
me
to
yéelde
,
and
confesse
the
faith
of
the
Church
of
Rome
.
I
answered
,
if
it
were
the
will
of
God
that
I
should
end
my
life
vnder
their
cruell
hands
,
I
must
be
content
:
but
it
it
please
him
,
he
is
able
to
deliuer
me
,
if
there
were
ten
thousands
against
me
.
Then
the
tormentor
(
as
he
was
commaunded
)
began
to
wrest
the
ropes
,
which
he
did
by
little
and
little
to
augment
my
paines
,
and
to
haue
them
indure
the
longer
,
but
in
the
end
he
drew
them
with
such
violence
,
as
though
he
would
haue
plucked
my
foure
quarters
in
sunder
,
and
the●e
stayed
a
good
space
:
yet
to
declare
their
tyrannicall
malice
,
thinking
my
torment
not
sufficient
,
he
added
more
,
powring
water
thorow
the
Cane
which
was
in
my
mouth
by
little
and
little
,
which
I
was
constrained
either
to
let
downe
,
or
to
haue
my
breath
stopped
,
vntill
they
had
tunned
in
such
quantitie
,
as
was
not
tollerable
to
indure
,
which
pained
me
extreamely
:
yet
not
satisfied
,
they
tooke
and
wet
a
linnen
cloath
,
and
laid
it
ouer
my
mouth
,
till
I
was
almost
strangled
:
when
my
body
being
thus
ouercharged
with
such
aboundance
of
water
,
after
they
had
thus
stopped
my
breath
with
the
wet
cloth
,
suddenlie
with
the
force
of
my
breath
,
and
that
my
stomack
was
so
much
ouercharged
,
the
water
gushed
out
and
bare
away
the
cloath
as
if
it
had
béene
the
force
of
a
condict
spoute
.
When
the
Inquisitor
saw
that
all
this
would
not
make
me
yéeld
,
he
commanded
the
tormentor
to
winde
the
corde
on
my
left
arme
more
straig●t
▪
which
put
me
to
horrible
paines
,
and
immediatly
the
roape
burst
in
sunder
.
Then
said
the
Inquisitor
,
yea
is
he
so
strong
,
I
wi●l
make
him
yéeld
,
and
commaunded
the
tormentor
to
put
too
a
new
roape
.
Then
the
woman
againe
bad
me
yéeld
,
saying
it
were
better
to
yéeld
then
to
die
so
miserable
a
death
:
but
I
besought
Almightie
God
to
ease
me
of
my
paines
,
and
to
forgiue
me
my
sinnes
,
answering
her
,
that
though
they
had
power
ouer
my
body
,
yet
there
was
no
torment
should
compell
me
to
yéeld
to
their
idolatrie
,
whereby
I
might
bring
my
soule
in
danger
of
hell
fire
.
Then
the
Inquisitor
asked
her
,
what
I
said
?
she
answered
that
I
had
said
I
would
neuer
submit
my selfe
to
the
Church
of
Rome
:
then
did
he
most
vehemently
charge
me
to
yéeld
and
submit
my selfe
to
the
Romish
Church
,
otherwise
he
would
pluck
off
one
of
my
armes
:
Whereupon
I
denying
still
,
the
tormentor
in
most
cruell
maner
,
wrested
the
r●pes
as
if
he
would
haue
●ent
my
body
in
sunder
:
I
being
now
in
vntolerable
paines
,
and
looking
for
nothing
but
present
death
,
cryed
out
in
the
extremity
o●
my
a●guish
.
Now
farewell
wife
and
children
,
and
farewell
England
,
and
so
not
able
to
vtter
one
word
more
,
lay
euen
sencelesse
.
The
Inquisitor
asked
the
woman
againe
what
I
said
,
she
layd
her
hand
vpon
my
head
,
&
perceiuing
that
I
was
spéechlesse
,
tolde
him
I
was
dead
:
wherefore
the
Tormentor
loosed
the
ropes
,
vnbound
my
hands
and
féete
,
and
caried
me
vnto
a
chamber
which
they
te●med
S.
Walters
chamber
.
Where
I
c●mming
to
my selfe
and
receiuing
some
sence
and
reason
,
but
could
haue
no
féeling
of
any
lim
or
io●nte
.
Thus
I
lay
in
a
most
lamentable
and
pittifull
manner
for
fiue
dayes
,
hauing
a
continuall
issue
of
bloude
and
water
forth
of
my
mouth
all
that
space
,
and
béeing
so
féeble
and
weake
by
reason
of
my
torments
,
that
I
could
take
no
sustenance
:
till
the
sixt
day
,
a
little
recouering
my
strength
,
they
gaue
me
a
little
quantity
of
bread
and
wine
●oo
together
,
and
presently
the
very
same
day
,
they
caried
me
forth
into
t●e
City
,
and
set
me
vpon
an
Asses
backe
,
and
whipped
me
thorow
out
euery
streete
of
the
City
of
Maiorque
,
giuing
me
to
the
number
of
fiue
hundred
lashes
,
which
made
the
bloud
to
runne
downe
my
miserable
carcase
in
such
abundance
,
that
it
dropped
at
the
belly
of
the
Asse
,
to
the
ground
.
Now
there
were
caried
with
me
about
the
Citty
very
many
harlots
and
whores
,
and
other
malefactors
which
had
offended
the
law
,
but
none
punished
like
me
.
After
this
they
caryed
me
to
the
chamber
from
whence
I
came
,
where
I
lay
without
all
worldly
comforte
.
Can
any
man
(
which
vnderstandeth
the
absurd
blindnesse
,
and
wilfull
ignorance
,
of
these
Spani●●
tyrants
,
or
Romish
monsters
)
thinke
them
to
be
of
the
true
church
,
which
defend
their
faith
with
fire
,
sworde
,
and
hellish
torments
,
without
all
remorse
or
pitty
,
as
you
may
perceiue
by
a
manifest
triall
here
set
downe
to
the
open
viewe
of
the
world
:
for
when
these
helhounds
had
tormented
this
miserable
creature
,
as
you
haue
heard
with
a
monsterous
and
most
vnchristian
kinde
of
torment
,
which
he
indured
for
the
space
of
thrée
howe●s
:
till
being
at
the
very
poynt
of
death
,
and
ready
to
yeeld
vp
the
ghost
,
they
not
yet
satisfied
with
these
torments
which
he
had
suffered
already
,
reserued
his
life
,
minding
to
increase
his
paines
,
which
they
were
nothing
slacke
to
performe
,
so
l●ng
as
he
remayned
in
their
power
.
Now
the
second
night
a●ter
that
they
had
whipped
me
about
the
city
as
aforesayd
,
about
midnight
I
recounting
to
my selfe
in
what
m●sery
I
both
did
and
h●d
remained
,
I
thought
to
put
in
practise
once
againe
to
get
my
libertie
,
crauing
of
the
Lord
with
heartie
prayer
to
assist
me
with
his
mighty
hand
.
And
immediatly
searching
about
,
I
found
an
olde
Iron
stub
,
with
the
which
I
▪
brake
an
hole
thorow
the
chamber
wall
,
and
crept
through
〈◊〉
an
other
chamber
,
where
I
felt
in
the
darke
many
péeces
of
plate
,
which
I
little
regarded
:
after
I
found
manie
Towels
and
Table
napkins
.
Then
séeking
further
,
I
found
a
long
Cane
whereon
there
hung
many
puddings
and
Sauceges
,
I
plucked
downe
the
Cane
,
but
had
little
minde
on
the
victuall
.
Then
I
found
certaine
kniues
,
then
I
espied
some
light
at
a
great
window
in
a
Garret
or
loft
ouer
me
:
wherefore
I
tied
a
crooked
knife
to
the
Cane
,
and
thrust
vp
a
long
Towell
,
and
with
the
knife
at
the
end
of
the
Cane
I
drew
the
Towell
about
a
barre
of
the
window
,
and
drew
it
to
me
,
and
with
that
towell
I
did
climbe
vp
into
the
windowe
,
but
then
I
could
not
get
forth
betwéene
the
barres
,
wherefore
I
digged
forth
one
of
the
barres
,
and
tyed
my
towels
and
napkins
together
end
to
end
,
and
fastned
one
end
to
a
barre
of
the
windowe
,
and
then
did
slide
downe
by
them
till
I
came
within
thrée
or
foure
fathom
of
the
ground
,
when
the
towels
brake
in
sunder
,
and
I
fell
downe
into
a
Well
which
was
direct
vnder
me
,
where
I
was
almost
drowned
:
yet
it
pleased
God
to
deliuer
me
.
And
then
being
in
the
city
without
the
castell
w●lle●
,
I
knowing
no
other
way
to
get
out
,
went
againe
to
the
towne
ditch
,
where
I
got
thorow
the
water
gate
with
lesse
perrill
then
before
,
by
reason
there
was
lesse
water
then
was
the
other
time
.
Then
went
I
with
all
spéede
into
the
woods
,
lying
all
dayes
in
woods
as
close
as
I
could
,
and
trauailed
by
nights
thorow
woods
and
mountaines
:
and
vpon
the
third
night
about
midnight
,
I
happened
into
an
Oliue
garden
,
not
aboue
halfe
a
bow
shoote
from
the
sea
side
,
in
which
garden
I
found
a
little
skiffe
or
boate
lying
vnder
a
Pomegranate
trée
,
and
there
lay
in
the
boate
a
hatchet
,
all
which
serued
happily
for
my
deliuery
.
Now
I
being
vnable
to
carrie
the
boate
to
the
water
side
,
di●●●ut
small
tr●rchens
of
wood
,
and
vpon
them
did
slide
it
downell
the
water
fide
.
Then
I
cut
downe
an
arme
of
an
Oliue
tr●e
,
t●
make
my
boate
a
mast
,
and
hauing
no
other
shift
,
made
me
a
sail●
cloth
with
my
bré●ches
and
a
péece
of
mantle
which
I
had
abou●
me
,
and
for
my
Oares
were
very
meane
,
yet
durst
I
stay
to
look●
for
no
better
,
but
presently
set
sayle
and
yealded
my selfe
to
the
goo●
pleasure
of
almighty
God
,
betooke
my selfe
to
sea
,
willing
rather
to
abide
what
the
Lord
would
lay
vpon
me
,
then
to
dye
among
these
most
cruell
tirants
.
And
by
the
prouidence
of
God
,
vpon
the
second
day
in
the
forenoone
I
discryed
the
coast
of
Barbar●e
,
for
the
●●●de
stoode
northeast
,
which
seruedme
most
happily
.
Understand
that
this
cut
is
from
shoare
to
shoare
,
one
hundred
and
fifty
leagues
,
which
is
foure
hundred
and
fifty
Englishmiles
,
and
at
that
time
a
very
rough
sea
,
in
somuch
if
it
had
not
bin
by
the
greate
and
wonderfull
power
of
God
,
my
vessell
and
I
,
had
both
bin
ouer
whelmed
.
But
I
falling
with
the
countrie
of
Cabiles
,
commonly
called
the
king
of
Cookooes
lande
,
néere
a
towne
called
Gigeley
,
where
I
went
on
shoare
,
leauing
my
boate
to
swimme
which
way
the
winde
and
weather
would
conduct
it
,
thinking
it
had
done
me
sufficient
seruice
.
But
sée
now
,
when
I
had
escaped
through
the
surges
of
the
sea
from
the
cruelty
of
the
Spaniard
,
I
was
no
sooner
landed
and
entered
the
Mountaines
,
but
being
espied
by
the
Moores
which
inhabit
the
countrie
,
who
pursued
very
earnestly
to
take
me
,
supposing
me
to
be
come
from
the
Christian
shoare
to
robbe
in
their
coaste
for
many
times
the
Spaniards
will
passe
ouer
in
some
small
vessell
,
and
go
on
shoare
:
and
if
they
can
catch
any
man
of
the
countrey
,
they
carry
them
away
to
make
Gallie
slaues
,
wherefore
the
Moores
are
very
diligent
to
pursue
them
at
their
landing
:
and
if
it
chaunce
they
take
any
Christian
▪
they
vse
him
in
like
sort
.
Wherefore
I
being
very
●nwilling
to
●all
into
their
hand●
,
was
constrained
to
go
into
a
riuer
which
ranne
betwéene
two
Mountaines
,
and
there
to
stand
in
water
vp
to
the
chinne
,
where
the
bushes
and
trées
did
growe
most
thick
ouer
me
:
where
I
stoo●
certaine
houres
,
vntill
they
had

for
me

vp

Mahometists

greatly
pittied

misery

and
●ort●with
did
leade

againe

▪
This
being
past
,
I
r●queste●
him
to
helpe
me
to
a
guide
to
con●ict
me
to
Argire
,
and
he
presently
prouided
two
,
whereof
the
one
was
his
sonne
,
to
whom
I
promised
to
g●ue
foure
crownes
for
their
paines
.
So
taking
my
leaue
of
my
good
hoas●
,
we
●●oke
our
way
toward
Argire
:
when
we
had
not
passe●
aboue
xxiiij
.
miles
on
the
way
,
we
chaunced
to
méete
a
Gen●●eman
of
that
countrie
,
who
was
as
〈◊〉
were
Pu●ueior
to
the
k●ng
,
and
went
about
the
countrie
to
take
vp
c●rne
and
graine
for
the

prouision
:
he
méeting
vs
vpon

way
,
asked
whet●er
we
were
trauailing
?
my
guides
answered
,
that
we
were
going
to
Argire
,
he
asked
what
we
had
to
do
there
?
they
sayde
to
deliuer
me
there
.
Then
he
demanded
what
I
was
?
●hey
●ol●e
him
I
was
an
Englishman
that
came
from
the
Christian
●●oare
;
and
was
bound
towards
Argire
.
Then
did
this
Gentleman
take
me
from
them
,
sending
them
backe
from
whence
they
came
,
but
compelled
me
to
goe
with
him
to
a
village
by
,
and
very
earnestly
perswaded
me
to
turne
Moore
,
promising
if
I
would
,
he
would
be
a
meane
to
preferre
me
greatly
,
which
I
still
denyed
.
Then
vpon
the
next
day
,
he
caried
me
further
to
a
towne
called
Tamgote
,
and
deliuered
me
to
a
noble
man
of
great
authoritie
with
the
king
,
which
was
as
Liefetenant
generall
for
the
warres
(
for
this
King
of
Cook●o●
houldeth
continuall
warre
with
the
King
of
Argire
,
although
they
be
both
subiect
to

Turke

)
I
was
no
sooner
brought
before
this
Nobleman
,
but
he
demanded
whether
I
would
turne
Moore
,
I
answered
that
I
would
not
immediatly
he
commanded
a
paire
of
shackels
to
be
put
on
my
héeles
,
and
a
claspe
of
Iron
about
my
neck
▪
with
a
chaine
thereat
▪
Now
he
séeing
he
could
winne
me
by
no
gentle
meanes
,
commaunded
me
to
prison
,
saying
,
that
he
would
either
make
me
to
yéelde
and
turne
Moore
,
or
else
I
should
die
in
captiuitie
.
In
this
while
that
I
remained
in
prison
,
diuerse
of
the
kings
house
came
to
me
,
perswading
me
to
yéelde
to
the
kings
demaund
,
alledging
how
hardly
the
king
might
vse
me
,
being
now
in
his
power
,
vnable
any
way
to
escape
,
and
againe
how
bountifully
the
king
would
deale
with
me
,
if
I
would
submit
my selfe
.
Within
a
little
time
after
,
it
happened
there
was
great
preparation
for
to
receiue
the
King
of
Abbesse
,
whose
country
adioineth
to
the
king
of
Cookooes
land
,
and
are
in
league
together
,
and
ioyne
their
armies
in
one
against
the
king
of
Argire
.
Now
at
his
comming
,
I
was
fetcht
foorth
of
prison
,
and
commaunded
to
charge
certaine
péeces
of
Ordinance
,
These
men
are
nothing
expert
in
Artillerie
.
which
were
thrée
Sacres
and
two
Minions
of
brasse
,
which
I
refused
not
to
doe
,
trusting
thereby
to
get
some
libertie
,
wherefore
at
the
comming
of
this
king
of
Abbesse
into
the
towne
,
I
discharged
the
Ordinance
as
liked
them
very
well
,
for
they
are
not
very
expert
in
that
exercise
,
for
which
I
had
some
more
libertie
then
before
.
After
this
I
was
set
to
sawe
Boardes
and
Plankes
,
and
was
commaunded
to
make
a
carriage
for
a
péece
of
Ordinance
:
Thus
they
compelled
me
to
labour
daily
,
which
I
did
the
more
willingly
,
because
I
hoped
still
to
get
my
libertie
thereby
in
the
end
.
Then
they
willed
me
to
shew
the
fashion
of
our
edge
tooles
after
the
English
,
which
when
they
saw
the
fashion
,
their
Smithes
wrought
them
very
artificially
,
&
gaue
them
very
good
temper
:
for
these
things
I
was
had
in
more
estimation
,
insomuch
that
they
tooke
off
my
Irons
,
and
let
me
walke
abroad
with
a
kéeper
.
Then
was
I
commanded
by
the
king
,
I
was
made
maister
of
worke
wherin
I
had
but
small
skill
.
to
teach
the
Carpenters
to
frame
a
house
after
the
manner
of
English
building
,
and
for
that
purpose
were
sent
foorth
Carpenters
and
workemen
with
me
to
the
woods
to
fall
timber
,
all
which
were
to
do
what
I
appointed
vpon
the
kings
commandement
.
Now
I
being
chiefe
Maister
of
the
worke
,
appointed
out
the
trées
which
were
very
speciall
good
timber
:
in
small
time
we
had
finished
our
frame
,
which
liked
the
King
very
well
.
By
this
means
I
had
more
liberty
then
before
,
and
was
very
well
intreated
,
yet
I
was
greatly
gréeued
in
minde
,
that
I
could
not
procure
any
meanes
for
my
liberty
,
although
at
that
time
I
wanted
few
necessaries
:
yet
was
I
daily
deuising
how
I
might
escape
away
,
for
thrée
speciall
causes
:
one
was
,
for
the
speciall
care
I
had
of
my
saluation
,
because
(
as
you
haue
heard
)
there
were
many
temptations
laide
before
me
,
to
drawe
me
from
a
Christian
to
be
an
abhominable
idolatour
.
The
second
cause
was
,
for
the
loue
&
dutifull
allegiance
which
I
owe
to
my
Prince
&
naturall
countrie
.
The
third
is
,
the
regard
of
the
vow
which
I
had
vowed
in
matrimonie
,
&
the
care
of
my
poore
wife
&
children
:
which
causes
mooued
me
so
much
,
that
whereas
by
reason
of
my
diligence
in
these
foresaid
matters
,
I
walking
abroad
with
my
kéeper
,
who
not
suspecting
me
,
was
not
so
attentiue
as
before
he
had
béene
.
So
soone
as
our
frame
was
finished
,
I
tooke
opportunitie
,
and
shewing
them
a
paire
of
heeles
,
tooke
my
way
ouer
the
Mountaines
,
intending
to
go
for
Argire
.
But
presently
there
was
great
store
of
men
,
both
on
horseback
and
one
foote
,
who
being
more
perfect
in
the
way
then
I
was
,
quickly
ouertooke
me
,
&
caried
me
back
againe
to
Cookooe
.
I
was
presently
brought
before
the
King
,
who
asked
me
why
I
ran
away
?
I
told
him
to
haue
libertie
.
Then
he
called
certaine
of
his
seruants
to
him
,
and
commanded
them
to
lay
me
downe
at
his
féete
,
which
foure
of
them
did
,
and
laying
me
flat
vpon
the
belly
,
one
of
them
gaue
me
75
stripes
with
a
great
cudgell
,
till
I
was
not
able
to
remooue
out
of
the
place
.
Then
the
king
commanded
to
carie
me
to
prison
againe
,
whether
two
of
them
caried
me
,
and
put
me
in
Irons
and
there
left
me
,
where
I
remained
for
the
space
of
two
moneths
:
I
was
now
made
a
water
bearer
.
then
was
I
brought
forth
of
prison
,
&
sent
daily
to
a
fountaine
or
well
,
about
halfe
a
league
from
the
towne
to
fetch
water
with
a
couple
of
Asses
,
for
the
vse
of
the
kings
house
.
Now
in
this
time
many
artificers
,
as
Smithes
,
Ioynces
,
and
carpenters
,
and
many
other
,
came
to
me
to
vnderstand
the
fashion
of
many
English
tooles
,
as
Plane
yrons
,
Goudges
▪
Chissels
,
and
such
like
,
for
which
they
shewed
me
some
fauour
,
and
gaue
me
some
money
:
and
when
I
had
gotten
a
little
money
,
I
bestowed
it
vpon
apparrell
,
and
caused
it
to
be
made
like
to
theirs
,
which
I
caried
secretly
,
when
I
went
to
fetch
water
,
and
did
hide
it
in
a
drie
caue
vnder
the
side
of
a
rocke
:
I
bought
me
likewise
a
sworde
and
a
launce
,
such
as
they
vse
to
trauaile
with
,
I
also
prouided
a
file
,
all
which
I
laide
vp
with
my
apparell
.
It
happened
that
the
King
of
Abbesse
,
came
againe
to
visit
the
King
,
and
to
take
counsails
about
warlike
affaires
,
as
vsually
they
did
,
wherefore
when
they
heard
of
his
comming
,
making
great
preparation
for
him
,
it
fell
out
so
that
there
wanted
water
,
in
the
offices
:
where
in
an
euening
there
was
excéeding
thunder
▪
and
raine
,
and
lightning
so
that
there
was
no
man
would
goe
for
water
,
but
euery
one
calling
for
the
Englishman
:
then
I
,
which
durst
say
no
nay
,
tooke
the
vessels
,
and
hung
them
vpon
the
Asses
,
and
so
went
thorow
raine
,
and
winde
,
and
thunder
,
and
all
,
till
I
came
to
the
well
,
where
I
left
my
Asses
,
to
wander
whither
they
would
,
and
went
to
my
apparrell
,
and
with
my
File
cut
off
my
yrons
,
and
made
me
ready
,
in
my
sute
of
Moores
clothing
,
and
with
my
sworde
by
my
side
,
and
my
Launce
on
my
shoulder
,
tooke
my
way
once
againe
towards
Argire
.
And
that
night
I
went
about
twentie
miles
ouer
Rockes
,
and
mountaines
,
kéeping
my selfe
out
of
beaten
waies
,
casting
my
way
by
the
moone
and
starres
.
When
the
day
began
to
be
light
I
lay
me
downe
in
a
brake
of
thicke
bushes
,
and
there
I
slept
the
most
parte
of
the
day
,
and
in
the
euening
I
began
to
trauell
forth
on
my
way
.
Now
on
the
third
night
I
was
to
passe
a
bridge
where
was
continuall
watch
,
and
warde
,
both
day
and
night
,
where
I
must
of
necesitie
passe
,
by
reason
the
riuer
ran
betwixt
two
mountaines
which
were
so
stéepe
that
no
man
can
neither
goe
downe
to
enter
water
,
nor
yet
béeing
in
,
can
by
any
possible
meanes
get
vp
on
the
other
side
,
which
riuer
is
a
great
defence
to
the
Countrey
.
Where
I
vsed
no
delay
but
entered
the
Bridge
in
the
beginning
of
the
night
,
about
nine
of
the
clocke
,
being
in
great
doubt
of
the
watch
,
but
at
the
first
end
of
the
Bridge
I
sawe
no
man
,
vntill
I
was
happily
passed
ouer
,
then
there
came
one
after
me
and
asked
who
goes
there
,
it
being
somewhat
darke
and
I
in
apparrell
and
with
my
weapons
like
a
Moore
,
of
their
countrey
,
answered
bouldly
that
I
was
a
freind
and
tolde
him
I
was
comming
to
the
Gouernour
to
deliuer
letters
from
the
King
,
for
neere
the
riuers
side
there
is
a
Uillage
,
where
dwelleth
hee
who
hath
charge
of
the
kéeping
of
this
passage
.
Whereby
I
went
onward
thorow
the
Uillage
,
but
before
I
was
farre
passed
:
I
heard
horsemen
vpon
the
Bridge
,
which
asked
whether
any
man
had
passed
that
night
,
the
watchmen
told
them
there
was
one
gone
euen
now
,
which
said
he
went
to
deliuer
the
Kings
letters
to
the
Officer
.
But
I
thought
no
time
now
to
heare
any
more
of
their
talke
but
betooke
●e
to
my
héeles
,
and
so
soone
as
I
was
without
the
Towne
I
went
out
of
the
Porte
way
,
into
woodes
,
and
kept
desert
wayes
that
night
and
day
following
.
And
the
next
night
I
came
within
the
liberties
of
the
King
of
Argire
,
where
I
knew
the
Cabiles
,
could
not
fetch
me
backe
againe
.
In
this
order
I
escaped
their
hands
,
by
the
mightie
power
of
God
:
for
vnderstand
,
that
in
these
desart
Mountaines
there
are
all
manner
of
wilde
beasts
in
great
number
,
Many
dangerous
wilde
beasts
in
that
countrey
.
as
Lions
,
Beares
,
Woolues
of
marueilous
bignesse
,
Apes
,
wilde
Swine
,
and
also
wilde
Horses
and
Asses
,
with
many
other
hurtfull
beasts
,
yet
was
I
neuer
in
danger
of
any
of
these
.
In
this
countrie
of
Cabyles
,
there
is
diuerse
kindes
of
verie
pure
mettales
,
as
Golde
,
Siluer
,
and
Lead
,
and
good
Yron
and
Stéele
,
but
they
for
want
of
knowledge
and
skill
,
make
no
vse
of
any
mettall
,
except
Yron
and
Stéele
:
although
at
such
times
as
I
haue
béene
present
whiles
the
Smithes
haue
tryed
their
Yron
,
I
haue
séene
among
the
drosse
of
the
Yron
very
perfect
golde
,
which
they
perceiuing
me
to
beholde
,
were
very
inquisitiue
to
vnderstand
whether
it
were
golde
,
or
any
other
mettall
of
substance
:
but
I
tolde
them
it
was
but
a
kinde
of
drosse
,
whereof
we
made
coulours
for
paint●●●
in
England
.
They
caried
me
out
to
the
Mountaines
,
and
shewed
me
the
rockes
where
they
gathered
their
Yron
,
which
rocks
had
vaines
of
very
pure
golde
Oare
,
which
I
would
not
reueile
to
them
,
but
answered
as
before
:
because
I
doubted
if
the
king
once
knew
me
to
haue
experience
in
such
mysteries
,
he
would
kéepe
me
the
more
straight
,
whereby
I
might
haue
remained
in
bondage
during
my
life
.
Now
when
I
was
within
the
countrie
of
Argire
,
I
was
out
of
danger
from
the
pursuers
,
and
then
did
I
walke
by
day
,
and
kept
the
common
wayes
,
where
comming
within
the
view
of
Argire
,
vpon
the
way
I
met
a
Turke
,
who
knew
me
at
the
first
sight
,
since
I
was
prisoner
in
Argire
,
and
demaunded
if
I
had
not
béene
captiue
with
such
a
man
?
I
sayd
yes
:
he
then
inquired
whether
I
wente
to
the
citie
?
I
saide
yes
,
then
returned
he
backe
,
and
did
accompanie
me
to
the
Citie
.
When
I
came
there
,
I
would
haue
gone
to
the
English
house
,
but
he
led
me
violently
to
my
olde
Maister
,
where
I
rested
me
a
day
and
a
night
,
my
maister
not
being
very
earnest
,
for
because
in
this
time
that
I
was
absent
all
the
English
captiues
were
redéemed
and
sent
home
.
Wherefore
I
went
to
the
English
counsell
,
hoping
to
be
presently
deliuered
,
who
gaue
me
very
good
words
,
but
did
not
shew
me
that
fauour
which
he
professed
.
I
could
make
some
discourse
of
his
vnkinde
dealing
with
me
and
other
of
our
countreymen
,
which
I
will
leaue
till
moe
fit
occasion
:
for
vnderstand
that
whiles
I
was
with
him
,
there
came
a
messenger
from
my
olde
maister
,
with
whome
I
was
before
I
went
to
Genua
,
who
would
haue
caried
me
away
by
force
,
but
I
would
not
goe
,
requesting
the
counsell
to
take
order
for
my
deliuerie
:
but
he
perswaded
me
to
goe
with
him
,
saying
,
that
he
would
in
time
prouide
for
my
libertie
.
But
by
meanes
I
would
not
yéelde
to
go
to
my
Maister
,
nor
yet
the
counsell
would
not
take
order
for
me
I
was
taken
by
the
kings
officers
,
and
put
in
chaines
in
the
Kings
prison
among
other
captiues
:
and
at
the
next
setting
out
of
the
Gallies
I
was
put
to
my
olde
occupation
,
where
I
remained
a
Galley
slaue
for
thrée
yeares
and
aboue
after
.
In
which
time
I
was
eight
voyages
at
sea
,
and
at
such
time
as
the
Galleys
lay
in
harbour
,
I
was
imprisoned
with
the
rest
of
the
captiues
,
where
our
ordinarie
foo●e
was
bread
and
water
,
and
at
some
fewe
times
,
as
once
or
twise
in
the
wéeke
a
small
quantitie
of
sodden
wheat
.
To
conclude
,
I
passed
my
time
in
sicknesse
and
extreame
slauerie
,
vntill
by
the
helpe
of
an
honest
Marchant
of
this
citie
of
London
,
and
hauing
a
very
fitte
opportunitie
by
meanes
of
certaine
our
English
ships
were
ready
to
set
saile
bound
homeward
,
vpon
Christmas
euen
being
the
23
of
December
1592.
I
came
abourd
the
Cherubin
of
London
:
who
weighing
anckor
,
and
hauing
a
happy
gale
,
arriued
in
England
toward
the
end
of
Februarie
following
.
Thus
haue
you
heard
how
it
hath
pleased
the
Almightie
God
(
after
many
and
great
miseries
)
to
bring
me
to
the
porte
which
I
longed
greatly
to
sée
:
beséeching
God
of
his
mercy
,
to
prolong
the
dayes
of
our
most
gratious
and
renowmed
Quéene
,
whose
fame
reacheth
faire
,
and
whose
most
happy
gouernment
is
in
admiration
with
forraine
Princes
▪
So
wishing
all
to
t●e
glory
of
God
,
and
furtherance
of
the
Gospell
,
I
end
.
