I
hauing
receiued
this
caueat
from
that
worthy
gentleman
,
Mr.
Samuel
Purchus
,
who
is
so
dilligent
a
searcher
,
and
setter
forth
of
all
our
English
trauailes
,
of
whose
true
industry
those
great
volumes
he
hath
publisht
to
the
world
,
shal
be
perpetuall
witnesse
,
spending
therein
(
as
he
rightly
termeth
it
)
his
talent
for
his

seruice
,
and
being
likewise
incouraged
by
him
,
after
he
had
seene

read
my
iournall
breefly
relating
each
dayes
particular
,
in
my
trauailes
,
into
this
great
and
spacious
Country
:
whereof
by
Gods
grace
I
entend
to
write
,
laying
as
it
were
a
commande
vpon
me
,
not
to
conceale
that
,
which
by
publishing
may
first
tend
,
vnto
the
aduancement
of
Gods
glory
,
and
next
vndoubtedly
the
honor
,
wealth
,
and
preferment
of
our
owne
nation
:
Likewise
hauing
beene
still
earnestly
inuited
by
all
sorts
of
people
,
and
especially
by
some
of
worthy
note
,
(
as
occasions
haue
fallen
out
at
any
time
,
whereby
I
haue
beene
drawne
into
discourse
of
these
trauailes
)
that
I
ought
not
,
nor
might
not
without
offence
leaue
vnpublished
,
that
which
doth
proffer
so
apparant
hopes
of
so
great
a
golden
Trade
,
which
at
this
time
seemes
so
needfull
,
that
by
the
generall
complant
of
our
great
want
,
the
earth
hath
shut
vp
her
rich
bowels
toward
vs
in
other
places
,
the
rather
to
enuite
vs
to
seeke
after
that
,
which
lies
as
it
were
vnder
our
noses
,
in
respect
of
other
trauailes
,
and
hath
beene
lest
as
a
concealed
businesse
,
vntell
our
time
of
neede
,
that
then
it
might
be
more
effectually
followed
,
and
more
seriously
regarded
:
For
apparant
proofes
whereof
,
first
there
is
no
Historian
but
will
accord
,
that
in
all
ancient
Histories
discoursing
of
the
inward
parts
of
Affrica
,
assurely
alwayes
called
by
the
name
of
Ethiopia
,
it
hath
beene
noted
for
the
golden
region
,
in
the
whole
conquests
of
Alexinder
,
as
Quintus
Curtius
sets
it
downe
,
lie
onely
had
a
great
desire
to
visit
these
parts
of
Ethiopia
,
but
neuer
came
there
.
The
Romans
likewise
,
carefull
Relaters
of
their
great
victories
,
doe
speake
little
of
the
interior
parts
of
Affrica
,
their
greatest
entrance
being
in
the
wars
of
Iugurth
,
and
in
pursuite
of
him
,
onely
mention
is
made
,
of
a
great
desire
they
had
to
search
the
South
parts
,
in
regard
they
were
thereunto
inuited
,
by
those
rich
and
golden
armes
,
they
found
those
blacke
people
to
come
against
them
withall
,
where
of
so
many
golden
shields
,
were
carried
to
their
famous
City
,
in
their
so
glorious
triumphs
,
but
in
their
discoueries
they
had
no
successe
:
Returning
with
the
losse
of
most
of
their
people
,
in
regard
as
is
alleaged
,
they
met
with
diuerse
drie
and
sandy
deserts
to
passe
,
wherein
as
many
were
lost
and
ouer-whelmed
,
so
againe
the
parching
heate
,
and
continuall
droughth
was
cause
of
the
perishing
of
many
others
,
and
inforced
their
returne
,
without
any
satisfaction
.
The
selfe
same
causes
continue
still
,
for
which

neede
not

,

and
with

conclusion

I
shut
vp
my
discourse
vnto
which
seuerally
I
now
proceed
:
&
first
to
the
Riuer
.
The
description
of
the
Riuer
.
THIS
Riuer
,
whereof
I
now
take
in
hand
,
(
by
Gods
grace
)
to
write
,
is
scituate
in
the
latitude
of
13
degrees
and
½
,
by
all
or
the
most
part
of
Mappes
and
Cardes
,
and
by
some
called
,
by
the
name
of
Gambia
,
by
others
Gamba
,
and
by
another
sort
set
downe
Gambra
,
to
which
latter
name
being
most
frequent
,
I
doe
apply
my selfe
,
for
by
the
naturall
inhabitants
,
either
belowe
in
the
mouth
of
it
,
neither
it
aboue
to
the
farthest
I
haue
trauelled
,
being
vpon
the
truest
accompt
I
could
keepe
,
some
320
leagues
,
or
960
miles
,
could
I
euer
heare
any
proper
name
,
but
only
the
word
Gee
,
which
in
their
language
,
they
vse
to
all
riuers
,
and
waters
:
It
hath
one
sole
entrance
,
which
in
the
very
mouth
,
is
about
some
4
leagues
broad
,
and
in
the
channell
3
faddome
water
,
at
the
least
,
without
any
barre
,
contrary
to
the
setting
of
it
formerly
forth
,
where
it
is
generally
noted
to
haue
a
barre
,
and
much
sholer
water
then
we
haue
found
:
After
we
are
run
some
4
leagues
in
,
it
doth
spread
it selfe
,
into
so
many
riuers
,
bayes
,
and
creekes
,
that
for
the
space
of
some
30
leagues
,
vnto
a
Towne
called
Tauckro
valley
,
it
is
so
intricate
,
that
many
months
might
be
spent
to
search
each
particuler
within
that
limit
;
but
for
that
my
occasion
of
writing
,
is
grounded
vpon
the
great
hopes
,
and
expectations
,
that
are
from
aboue
I
entend
not
to
make
any
stay
there
,
but
refer
what
is
to
be
sayd
,
vntil
I
speake
of
the
inhabitants
,
only
,
as
I
proceed
to
let
you
know
,
that
the
maine
channell
,
is
not
to
be
mistaken
,
except
within
the
limit
aforesayde
,
and
then
also
thorough
great
neglect
,
or
rather
some
wilfull
ignorance
.
Thus
with
a
faire
streame
,
this
braue
riuer
shooteth
in
flowing
from
his
mouth
,
into
the
land
,
neare
vpon
200
leagues
,
vnto
a
Towne
called
Baraconda
,
or
some
little
aboue
,
&
that
is
the
vttermost
bounds
of
his
flowing
,
euen
in
the
lowest
season
of
the
yeare
:
For
as
in
all
riuers
,
running
into
the
sea
,
the
increase
of
the
inland
waters
,
occasioned
by
raines
,
or
snowes
,
doe
abate
of
the
seas
in
draught
;
so
much
more
,
in
this
great
Riuer
,
who
swels
vpright
30
foote
,
obseruing
one
due
time
,
and
season
of
the
yeare
for
euer
,
must
the
seas
force
in
those
swelling
times
,
be
mightely
driuen
backe
;
whereby
a
certaine
knowledge
is
attaind
,
which
are
the
setled
times
,
to
be
followed
eamestly
,
to
meete
with
no
impediment
,
in
passing
vp
,
which
impediment
,
is
onely
want
of
water
to
passe
ouer
flats
,
which
in
the
lowest
season
of
the
yeare
,
in
certaine
places
,
are
met
withall
,
as
is
commonly
seene
,
in
all
riuers
,
of
such
mighty
inlets
,
which
bankes
as
it
were
being
past
,
presently
a
faire
passable
Riuer
continues
,
for
many
leagues
;
and
as
we
expect
our
seasons
of
Winter
,
and
Sommer
,
so
do
these
inhabitants
these
times
of
floods
,
occasioned
by
aboundance
of
raine
,
which
raines
alwayes
proceed
forth
of
the
South-east
,
and
haue
their
beginnings
,
much
sooner
in
the
inland
,
then
at
the
Riuers
mouth
,
so
as
in
those
parts
,
where
we
haue
had
aboade
,
they
begin
to
fall
in
the
latter
end
of
May
,
and
at
the
Next
to
shew
a
continuance
of
this
great
streame
,
when
we
had
rowed
beyond
the
ebbing
and
flowing
,
and
12.
dayes
against
the
currant
,
which
wee
trauailed
in
the
moneth
of
Ianuary
,
when
the
water
was
at
the
lowest
of
his
nourishment
,
and
then
the
shole
we
met
withall
,
and
stopped
our
further
proceeding
,
had
9.
inches
water
,
which
shallownesse
continued
not
aboue
to
yards
,
wherein
if
we
had
Againe
,
what
know
we
,
whither
the
Riuer
may
bring
vs
within
the
confines
of
those
people
,

will
not

are
those
to

passe

no
doubt
afterwards
,
that
which
affordes
two
such
branches
,
must
containe
within
himselfe
,
a
faire
and
promising
streame
,
which
may
take
head
from
some
great
and
large
lake
,
aboue
,
such
as
is
described
,
to
be
about
Gago
,
and
if
any
such
place
should
be
found
,
what
vse
or
profit
might
arise
,
cannot
but
promise
a
hopefull
expectation
.
And
lastly
,
if
the
inhabitants
aboue
,
be
enemies
amongst
themselues
,
as
we
see
in
the
mouth
of
the
Riuer
,
and
heare
likewise
of
them
,
what
aduantage
our
force
in
the
Riuer
,
may
worke
,
will
easily
be
considered
,
in
regard
they
haue
not
the
vse
of
any
There
is
abounding
in
this
Riuer
,
who
are
bred
and
liue
therein
,
two
sorts
especiall
,
as
I
may
terme
them
monstrous
,
the
one
deuouring
as
the
people
report
,
and
the
other
daungerous
,
as
I
haue
found
:
The
deuouring
is
the
Crocodile
or
Alegatha
,
because
they
carry
one
,
and
the
same
resemblance
,
but
The
other
is
the
Sea-horse
,
who
in
this
Riuer
do
wounderfully
abound
,
and
for
that
the
name
of
Sea-horse
is
a
common
word
,
in
regard
of
the
Greene-land
voyages
,
where
they
vse
the
same
to
the
Sea-mosses
they
kill
there
,
who
are
of
contrary
Hauing
spoken
of
these
,
I
now
returne
to
matter
of
sustenance
,
which
the
Riuer
affordeth
,
there
is
variety
of
good
fish
,
among
which
great
store
of
Mullet
,
if
men
haue
nets
,
and
prouision
to
take
them
,
which
in
some
places
,
within
the
ebbing
and
flowing
,
the
shore
lies
conuenient
to
make
vse
of
,
and
aboue
,
that
in
most
places
,
howbeit
we
neuer
made
vse
aboue
any
place
where
our
shippe
ridde
,
who
alwayes
kept
the
net
with
her
,
wherewith
we
made
diuerse
draughts
,
most
especially
at
a
Towne
called
Cassan
,
and
against
which
the
shippe
did
ride
,
and
was
the
highest
place
in
the
Riuer
she
went
,
where
our
convenientst
drawing
was
close
to
the
Towne
,
and
when
the
people
at
any
time
saw
vs
bring
our
net
on
the
shore
,
and
prouide
to
fish
,
as
the
net
came
neare
the
shore
,
they
would
come
rudely
in
and
many
times
with
their
vnciuilnes
,
indanger
the
breaking
,
and
spoyling
of
our
net
,
with
their
greedinesse
to
lay
hold
on
the
fish
,
that
wee
were
inforced
to
speake
vnto
the
King
,
dwelling
in
the
Towne
,
to
command
them
to
forbeare
troubling
vs
,
promising
when
we
had
taken
for
our
own
present
vse
,
and
reserued
some
for
him
,
the
residue
should
be
taken
out
and
remaine
amongst
them
,
and
his
Commaund
being
given
,
they
were
carefull
to
obserue
it
.
Amongst
the
rest
,
one
time
hauing
made
a
draught
,
we
had
not
such
plenty
as
vsually
,
onely
some
fish
,
in
the
cod
of
the
net
,
which
being
taken
vp
,
were
shakt
into
a
basket
standing
in
the
boate
,
with
which
we
rowed
aboord
,
&
the
basket
being
handed
in
as
the
custome
is
,
the
fish
were
powred
vpon
the
Decke
,
whereof
many
rude
Saylers
will
be
their
owne
caruers
,
amongst
which
fish
,
there
was
one
,
much
like
vnto
our
English
breame
,
but
of
a
great
thicknes
,
which
one
of
the
Saylers
thinking
for
his
turne
,
thought
to
take
away
,
putting
therefore
his
hands
vnto
him
,
so
soone
as
he
toucht
,
the
fellow
presently
cried
out
,
he
had
lost
the
vse
both
of
his
hands
,
and
armes
:
another
standing
by
sayd
,
In
the
vpper
part
of
the
Riuer
,
there
are
store
of
fish
,
and
more
conueniently
to
be
come
by
,
if
men
go
prouided
.
Amongst
which
we
note
one
little
fish
,
The
people
of
the
Country
haue
likewise
diuers
wares
,
which
they
make
vse
of
in
the
time
of
raines
,
and
when
the
Riuer
is
ouer-floude
,
at
which
times
,
they
kill
much
fish
;
and
they
haue
also
,
a
strange
maner
of
fishing
,
in
their
lakes
and
ponds
,
of
which
there
are
many
that
are
very
broade
,
and
containe
much
circute
,
but
are
not
deepe
,
to
which
they
resort
The
seuerall
Inhabitants
,
&c.
TO
speake
of
the
Country
,
and
the
inhabitants
,
I
take
my
beginning
from
the
mouth
of
the
Riuer
,
whereat
our
first
entrance
,
we
find
the
Black
men
called
Mandingos
,
and
that
they
do
continue
amongst
themselues
,
still
one
and
the
selfe
same
language
:
Those
of
them
who
are
inhabiting
,
or
dwelling
in
the
mouth
of
the
Riuer
,
or
within
certain
leagues
of
the
first
enterance
,
are
very
fearefull
to
speake
with
any
shipping
,
except
they
haue
perfect
knowledge
of
them
,
in
regard
they
haue
beene
many
times
,
by
seuerall
nations
,
surprized
,
taken
and
carried
away
;
but
vpon
some
knowledge
they
wil
resort
to
the
shore
neare
vnto
vs
,
and
bring
with
them
Beeues
,
Goates
,
Hennes
,
and
aboundance
of
Bonanos
,
in
the
West
Indies
called
Plantanos
,
a
most
excellent
good
,
and
wholesome
fruit
;
likewise
of
their
Country
pease
,
and
other
graine
,
and
in
way
of
Tradesome
hides
:
they
there
alone
haue
the
domination
,
their
Kings
and
Gouernors
being
their
seated
,
as
in
the
vpper
parts
,
of
whom
especially
my
discourse
is
intended
,
howbeit
for
the
more
playner
proceeding
,
I
must
breake
of
a
while
from
them
,
and
acquainte
you
first
,
of
another
sort
of
people
we
finde
dwelling
,
or
rather
lurking
,
amongst
these
Maudingos
,
onely
some
certaine
way
vp
the
Riuer
.
And
these
are
,
as
they
call
themselues
,
Portingales
,
and
some
few
of
them
seeme
the
same
;
others
of
them
are
Molatoes
,
betweene
blacke
and
white
,
but
the
most
part
as
blacke
,
as
the
naturall
inhabitants
:
they
are
scattered
,
some
two
or
three
dwellers
The
conditions
they
liue
subiect
vnto
,
vnder
the
blacke
Kings
,
makes
it
appeare
,
they
haue
litle
comfort
in
any
Christian
countrey
,
or
else
themselues
are
very
carelesse
what
becommeth
of
their
posteritie
;
for
whensoeuer
the
husband
,
father
,
or
maister
of
the
familie
dies
,
if
hee
be
of
any
worth
,
the
King
seizeth
vpon
what
hee
hath
,
without
respect
,
either
to
wife
,
children
,
or
seruant
,
except
they
haue
warning
to
prouide
before
,
or
are
capable
of
themselues
,
to
looke
out
for
the
future
time
;
whereby
we
finde
in
some
those
few
places
we
trade
with
them
,
poore
distressed
children
left
,
who
as
it
were
exposed
to
the
charitie
of
the
country
,
become
in
a
manner
naturalized
,
and
as
they
grow
vp
,
apply
themselues
to
buy
and
sell
one
thing
for
another
as
the
whole
country
doth
,
still
reseruing
carefully
,
the
vse
of
the
Portingall
tongue
,
and
with
a
kinde
of
an
affectionate
zeale
,
the
name
of
Christians
,
taking
it
in
a
great
disdaine
,
be
they
neuer
so
blacke
,
to
be
called
a
Negro
:
and
these
,
for
the
most
part
,
are
the
Portingalls
,
which
liue
within
this
Riuer
,
who
since
they
see
we
haue
followed
a
trade
,
and
begunne
to
settle
vpon
it
,
in
regard
they
much
doubt
,
wee
waite
but
an
oportunitie
(
as
they
say
amongst
themselues
)
to
haue
a
valuable
satisfaction
,
for
the
wrong
their
Nation
began
with
,
knowing
the
Englishmen
doe
not
ordinarily
digest
such
horrible
abuses
,
it
hath
made
such
as
were
of
worth
,
and
dwelling
vpon
the
coast
,
who
were
woont
to
looke
into
the
Riuer
,
forbeare
that
recourse
,
and
also
those
,
that
were
of
the
best
and
most
ablest
estates
,
to
quit
their
dwellings
,
and
to
seeke
out
else-where
,
leauing
none
but
a
few
poore
snakes
,
who
for
feare
,
rather
then
loue
,
offer
themselues
,
to
do
vs
any
maner
of
seruice
:
which
feare
of
theirs
,
is
the
more
increased
,
because
the
naturall
blacke
people
,
out
of
their
morall
vnderstanding
,
and
were
some
of
them
spectators
of
their
bloody
murther
,
the
shippe
then
riding
before
the
Towne
,
when
the
fact
was
done
,
and
by
them
rightly
vnderstood
,
to
be
treacherously
done
in
betraying
our
faithfull
trust
,
contrary
to
the
great
protestations
and
obligements
before
these
inhabitants
made
and
confirmed
,
did
not
onely
vtterly
disallow
of
the
fact
,
but
exclaiming
against
them
,
caused
them
to
forsake
their
dwellings
in
that
Towne
,
neither
haue
they
at
this
time
any
habitations
there
,
notwithstanding
they
had
had
continuance
for
many
yeares
before
.
And
further
,
when
some
of
our
people
,
who
were
aboue
in
the
Riuer
,
not
knowing
of
this
euill
accident
,
and
were
vpon
occasions
returning
to
Cape
de
Verde
,
where
they
were
sure
to
meete
with
shipping
,
they
not
onely
fitted
them
,
with
such
necessaries
as
they
could
,
but
also
fent
of
their
owne
people
,
as
guides
with
them
:
and
being
in
that
manner
commended
from
one
King
to
another
,
were
louingly
entertained
,
lodged
,
and
fed
,
and
with
new
guides
still
conueyed
,
neuer
leauing
them
,
vntill
their
desire
was
satisfied
,
and
they
safely
arriued
,
where
they
found
conuenient
shipping
,
and
still
the
commendations
that
went
alongst
with
them
,
from
one
blacke
King
to
another
,
was
,
in
regard
their
shippe
was
betraied
,
and
taken
away
by
the
Portingall
,
whereby
they
found
such
compassion
,
that
in
some
places
they
had
horses
to
ride
on
,
and
in
other
places
were
entreated
to
rest
,
and
recreate
themselues
,
longer
then
they
were
willing
.
And
thus
much
is
said
,
for
those
people
of
the
country
,
amongst
whom
the
Portingalls
dwelt
,
had
their
aboade
,
and
all
familiar
commerce
;
but
for
those
blacke
people
who
are
dwelling
aboue
in
the
Riuer
,
where
these
Portingalls
neuer
had
any
habitation
,
onely
as
I
sayd
,
a
trade
,
in
their
boates
vp
some
part
of
the
Riuer
,
and
amongest
whom
wee
haue
setled
our selues
,
with
great
league
and
testification
of
much
amitie
(
as
I
must
deliuer
when
I
come
vnto
them
,
)
these
I
say
,
when
there
was
only
fiue
of
our
men
dwelling
amongst
them
,
their
houses
seated
by
the
Riuer
side
;
and
that
ceraine
Portingals
,
in
a
smalbark
or
Boat
,
were
to
passe
by
them
in
following
their
Trade
to
Setico
,
being
a
matter
of
some
16
leagues
,
aboue
the
place
our
men
liued
at
:
these
people
when
they
saw
our
men
make
ready
their
armes
,
&
prepare
their
peeces
,
to
standon
their
guard
,
being
so
sew
of
them
,
not
daring
to
trust
the
Portingals
flattering
promises
,
did
not
only
put
themselues
in
companies
for
their
defence
,
but
likewise
animated
our
men
,
to
set
vpon
them
,
promising
if
they
would
giue
the
ou-set
,
they
would
prosecute
it
,
to
the
confusion
of
all
and
euery
man
of
them
,
in
the
same
manner
,
as
they
before
had
dealt
with
vs
,
with
great
vehemency
pressing
them
,
as
a
thing
they
were
especially
bound
to
do
,
which
our
men
refusing
they
inthemselues
did
carry
towards
them
a
kind
of
sullen
,
and
insolent
behauiour
:
so
as
their
bloody
act
,
wherewith
they
thought
to
daunt
,
and
discourage
vs
,
in
seeking
or
following
of
any
trade
here
,
and
more
securely
to
settle
themselues
,
hath
no
doubt
,
(
by
Gods
prouidence
)
if
it
be
carefully
considered
and
dilligently
obserued
,
by
a
timely
The
wandering
Fulbie
.
THere
is
one
people
more
,
dwelling
and
abiding
among
these
Maudingos
,
and
vnder
their
subiection
,
of
whom
it
is
necessary
for
me
to
speak
,
before
I
come
to
the
principall
.
These
are
called
Fulbies
,
being
a
Tawny
people
,
and
haue
a
resemblance
right
vnto
those
we
call
Egiptians
:
the
women
amongst
them
,
are
streight
,
vpright
,
and
excellently
well
bodied
,
hauing
very
good
features
,
with
a
long
blacke
haire
,
much
more
loose
then
the
blacke
women
haue
,
wherewith
they
at
ire
themselues
very
neatly
,
but
in
their
apparell
they
goe
clothed
and
weare
the
same
habite
,
the
blacke
woemen
do
;
the
men
are
not
in
their
kinds
,
so
generally
handsome
,
as
the
women
are
,
which
may
be
imputed
to
their
course
of
liues
;
whereof
I
proceede
to
tell
you
;
Their
profession
is
keeping
of
Cattle
,
some
Goats
they
haue
,
but
the
Heards
they
tendare
Beefes
,
wherof
they
are
aboundantly
stored
:
In
some
places
they
haue
setled
Townes
,
but
for
the
most
part
they
are
still
wandering
,
vniting
themselues
in
kindred
and
families
,
and
so
driue
their
heards
together
;
where
they
find
the
ground
and
soyle
most
fitte
for
their
Cattle
,
there
,
with
the
Kings
allowance
of
the
Country
,
they
sit
downe
,
building
themselues
houses
,
as
the
season
of
the
yeare
serues
,
and
in
such
places
as
lies
most
conuenient
,
for
preseruation
of
their
Heards
they
looke
vnto
:
during
the
times
of
the
raines
,
they
retire
to
the
mountaines
,
and
higher
grounds
,
and
againe
as
they
grow
drie
,
and
barraine
to
the
low
plaines
and
bottomes
,
euen
to
the
Riuer
side
;
that
in
the
times
of
our
chiefest
Trade
,
their
cattle
are
feeding
by
vs
,
and
the
women
with
their
commodities
daily
customers
to
vs
.
These
mens
labour
and
toyle
is
continuall
,
for
in
the
day
time
,
they
watch
and
keepe
them
together
,
from
straying
,
and
especially
from
comming
to
neare
the
Riuer
,
where
the
Crocodile
doth
hauur
,
and
in
the
night
time
,
they
bring
them
home
about
their
howses
,
and
parting
them
in
seuerall
Heards
,
they
make
fires
round
about
them
,
and
likewise
in
the
middle
of
them
,
about
which
they
lie
themselues
,
ready
vppon
any
occasion
to
defend
them
from
their
roring
enemies
,
which
are
Lyons
,
Ounces
,
and
such
deuouring
beasts
,
whereof
the
Country
is
full
,
as
when
I
speak
of
them
wil
be
perceiued
.
This
is
the
poore
Fulbies
life
,
whereunto
he
is
so
enured
,
that
in
a
manner
he
is
become
bestiall
,
for
I
haue
noted
diuerse
times
,
when
we
haue
come
vp
in
the
morning
,
before
his
Cattle
had
beene
disperst
,
or
gone
to
seede
,
when
we
haue
called

we
had

hee
would
come

middle
of

and
those
parts
of
him
which
were
bare

especially
his

would
stand

as
they
vse
to
sit
in
the
hot
Summer
time
vpon
our
horses
,
and
teemes
here
in
England

and
they
were
the
same
manner
of
flye
wee
haue
,
which
the
Fulbie
would
let
alone
,
not
offring
to
put
vp
his

to
driue
them
away

will
wiske
with

and
seeke
any
other
defence
,
to
auoyde
or
be
rid
of

for
our
owne
parts
we
were
faine
,
during
our
parley
with
them
,
to
ho'd
a
greene
bow
,
to
beate
of
the

finding

These

the
Maudingo

vnder
In
noting
of
which
,
I
haue
diuerse
times
sayd
,
there
was
great
difference
betweene
them
,
and
the
Irish
Calios
,
although
their
manner
of
liues
had
great
resemblance
in
following
of
their
Cattle
,
and
as
they
were
out
of
heart
in
one
ground
,
to
remooue
whole
Townes
together
,
which
but
few
yeares
since
was
the
Irish
Kernes
true
course
of
life
;
but-with
cleanlinesse
your
Irish
woman
hath
no
acquaintance
,
and
therefore
I
returne
backe
to
my
Tawny
Fulbie
:
the
commodities
shee
askt
for
were
small
beades
,
and
poore
knifes
of
16
d
a
dozen
,
with
other
trifling
things
,
but
after
they
once
saw
and
vasted
of
salt
,
which
in
their
language
they
called
Ram-Dam
,
there
was
no
other
thing
could
so
well
please
them
,
although
it
were
neuer
so
little
;
we
found
the
variety
of
these
things
many
times
agreeable
to
our
natures
,
and
therefore
gaue
faire
recourse
vnto
the
people
,
for
if
we
denide
but
one
day
to
buy
of
them
,
we
should
want
their
company
a
weeke
after
,
what
earnest
occasion
someuer
we
had
to
vse
them
;
and
these
things
were
to
be
had
from
none
but
them
,
because
the
Maudingo
,
or
Blacke-man
applies
himselfe
,
at
no
time
,
in
keeping
or
preseruing
of
Cattle
,
but
leaues
it
to
this
painefull
Fulby
,
whom
I
likewise
leaue
looking
to
his
Heards
,
and
come
to
the
commanding
Blacke

Maudingo
or
Ethiopian
,
being
the
naturall
Inhabitants
,
distinguished
by
the
name
of
the
Maudingos

people
,
who
are
Lords
,
and
Commaunders
of
this
country
,
and
professe
themselues
the
naturall
Inhabitants
,
are
perfectly
blacke
,
both
men
and
women
.
The
men
for
their
parts
,
do
liue
a
most
idle
kinde
of
life
,
imploying
themselues
(
I
meane
the
greater
part
)
to
no
kinde
of
trade
nor
exercise
,
except
it
be
onely
some
two
moneths
of
the
yeate
,
which
is
in
tilling
,
and
bringing
home
their
countrey
corne
,
and
graine
,
wherein
the
preseruation
of
their
liues
consists
,
and
in
that
time
their
labour
is
sore
,
as
when
I
come
to
shew
the
manner
,
you
may
easily
conceiue
;
All
other
times
of
the
yeare
,
they
liue
wandring
vp
and
downe
,
from
one
to
an
other
,
hauing
little
vnderstanding
,
either
to
hunt
in
the
woods
,
or
fish
in
the
waters
;
notwithstanding
,
both
the
one
and
the
other
,
in
their
kindes
,
are
infinitely
replenished
,
that
to
their
very
doores
wilde
beasts
doe
resort
,
and
about
their
houses
in
euery
corner
,
abundance
of
Ginny
hennes
,
and
excellent
partridges
.
In
the
heat
of
the
day
,
the
men
will
come
forth
,
and
sit
themselues
in
companies
,
vnder
the
shady
trees
,
to
receiue
the
fresh
aire
,
and
there
passe
the
time
in
communication
,
hauing
only
one
kind
of
game
to
recreate
themselues
withall
,
and
that
is
in
a
peece
of
wood
,
certaine
great
holes
cut
,
which
they
set
vpon
the
ground
betwixt
two
of
them
,
and
with
a
number
of
some
thirtie
pibble
stones
,
after
a
manner
of
counting
,
they
take
one
from
the
other
,
vntill
one
is
possessed
of
all
,
whereat
some
of
them
are
wondrous
nimble
:
we
do
perceiue
amongst
them
,
that
the
ordinary
people
eate
but
one
meale
a

,
and
especially
the
younger
sort
,
of
what
kinde
soeuer
;
their
houre
of
feeding
They
will
say
,
their
feeding
so
seldome
,
is
a
great
preseruation
of
their
healths
,
&
at
that
time
,
when
the
Sunne
is
downe
,
a
fittest
time
for
nourishment
,
auoyding
especially
,
to
eate
in
the
heate
of
the

,
as
a
thing
wonderfull
unwholesome
,
wherein

may
please
you
to
giue
me
leaue
to
vtter

Now
for
my
opinion
concerning
our
diet
,
I
hold
well
with
the
Blacks
,
that
to
feed
at
noone
,
is
an
vnholesome
thing
,
for
that

then
in

first
I
am
to
meddle
with
matter
of
state
,
and
acquaint
you
concerning
their
Kings
,
and
Gouernors
,
for
so
I
haue
promist
,
the
better
to
bring
my
worke
together
:
In
following
of
which
,
I
shall
entreate
your
patience
to
obserue
with
me
,
that
the
better
to
distinguish
of
their
gouernments
,
I
must
deuide
the
Country
by
the
Riuer
,
that
how
soeuer
the
Riuer
trends
,
which
in
his
windings
is
surely
all
points
of
the
compasse
,
I
shall
alwayes
call
that
part
,
which
lies
to
the
southward
in
our
intrance
,
the
southside
,
and
the
other
the
northside
,
of
both
which
sides
,
although
we
haue
seene
diuers
petty
Kings
,
and
other
Commanders
,
to
whom
we
payd
a
kind
of
poore
custome
,
which
in
the
mouth
of
the
Riuer
,
where
the
Portingall
hath
vsed
,
is
not
onely
greater
,
but
perremptorily
demaunded
,
whereas
aboue
it
is
lesse
,
and
rather
taken
as
a
curtesie
presented
,
which
morall
kindnesse
requires
all
strangers
,
comming
in
the
way
of
amity
,
to
begin
withall
to
a
principall
person
,
then
any
manner
of
custome
,
that
is
(
as
we
say
)
exacted
,
but
how
someuer
both
below
and
especially
aboue
,
it
is
of
that
poore
quantity
,
it
hardly
deserues
the
paines
of
so
long
a
rehersall
,
whereby
you
may
be
drawne
to
conceit
of
a
greater
valuation
:
Those
petty
Kings
I
say
,
where
of
I
both
saw
,
had
conference
,
and
did
eate
and
drinke
within
sixe
seuerall
places
,
who
had
the
title
of
Mansa
,
which
in
their
language
,
is
the
proper
name
for
the
King
,
haue
all
reference
to
their
greater
Kings
,
who
line
farther
from
those
places
;

the
southside
,
the
whole
Country
Amena
,
Amena
,
many
times
ouer
,
which
signifies
the
same
as
we
say
,
Amen
,
or
so
be
it
:
Nay
more
euen
among
the
common
people
,
when
they
meete
in
the
high
way
,
and
are
of
acquantance
,
hauing
beene
absent
from
one
another
,
any
distance
of
time
,
if
there
be
a
Mary-bucke
amongst
them
,
they
put
themselues
into
a
round
ring
,
and
before
any
salutation
fall
on
their
knees
to
prayer
:
The
Kings
respect
vnto
them
againe
,
is
onely
nodding
of
his
head
,
which
is
acceptably
receiued
,
how
be
it
in
manner
of
habite
,
there
is
betweene
the
King
,
and
his
people
,
little
or
no
manner
of
difference
;
which
may
be
imputed
to
the
necessity
of
the
Country
,
because
it
yeeldeth
but
one
onely
materiall
,
to
make
apparell
of
,
which
is
a
Cotten
wooll
,
whereof
they
plant
great
fields
,
and
it
growes
vp
as
it
were
our
rose
bushes
,
yeelding
a
cod
,
that
in
his
full
maturity
,
breakes
in
some
part
,
and
shewes
a
perfect
white
cotten
,
of
which
you
shall
find
more
written
,
when
I
come
to
rehearse
what
trees
and
plants
wee
finde
amongst
them
.
Now
for
the
manner
of
their
apparell
,
it
is
soone
related
,
they
being
for
the
most
part
bare-head

To
countenance
his
state
,
he
hath
many
times
two
of
his
wiues
sitting
by
him
,
supporting
his
body
,
and
laying
their
hands
vpon
his
naked
skin
,
aboue
the
wast
,
stroking
,
and
gently
pulling
the
same
,
wherein
he
seemes
to
receiue
content
,
and
because
I
haue
named
two
of
his
wiues
,
before
I
proceed
to
any
thing
else
,
I
will
acquaint
you
with
the
manner
of
their
women
,
the
multiplicity
of

for
the
chastitie
of
the

,
their

customes
are

kinde
very
seuere

for

being
Two
women
in
one
house
,
&c.
but
there
indeede
I
will
make
answer
,
That
although
they
haue
recourse
all
day
together
,
in
his
great
or
more
spacious
haunt
,
yet
for
the
night
euery
woman
hath
a
seuerall
house
,
whether
she
retires
herselfe
,
to
giue
attendance
as
his
desires
shall
leade
him
:
and
as
they
appeare
before
him
,
in
the
morning
,
their
salutations
are
vppon
their
knees
,
laying
their
hands
vpon
his
thigh
.
And
lastly
,
for
her
apparrell
,
it
is
loose
clothes
party-coloured
,
blew
and
white

of
the
same
cotton

whereof
the

commonly
we
are
but
one
tuckt
about
their
middles
,
and
from
the
waste
vpward

bare

in
regard
they
are
,
for
the
most
part
,
wrought
,
or
rather
printéd
vpon
the
backe
,
especially
in
the
higher
parts
we
were
at
,
insomuch
as
we
haue
scene
some
of
them
,
with
workes
all
ouer
I
proceed
againe
in
the
state
of
their
Kings
,
there
is
no
people
in
the
world
,
stand
more
vpon
their
antiquitie
,
and
dignitie
of
bloud
,
then
they
doe
betweene
themselues
,
insomuch
,
as
once
I
had
a
quarrell
grew
in
my
house
,
betweene
one
of
the
Kings
sonnes
,
vnder
whose
gouernement
our
habitation
was
,
and
another
Blacke
,
who
was
a
very
lusty
and
able
man
,
called
Boo
Iohn
,
vnto
whom
for
some
respects
,
we
carried
a
more
kinde
of
extraordinary
affection
,
wherein
they
braued
one
another
,
concerning
their
dignities
of
birth
,
the
one
was
better
,
and
the
other
was
better
,
insomuch
as
Boo
Iohn

his
Boo
Iohn
to
goe
away
:
but
all
I
could
gaine
of
him
,
was
,
he
would
only
sit
downe
in
our
yard
,
vnder
the
shadow
of
our
houses
,
with
his
people
about
him
,
and
if
no
wrong
were
offered
him
,
hee
would
not
stirre
nor
giue
no
offence
;
and
by
meanes
I
wrought
so
with
the
Kings
sonne
,
carrying
him
and
his
companie
into
my
house
,
and
vsing
them
curteously
,
that
for
that
time
I
pacified
them
,
and
they
parted
quietly
,
howbeit
not
without
threatning
vpon
another
occasion
;
They
doe
distinctly
know
euery
gouernement
,
who
shall
be
King
,
and
how
the
succession
shall
hold
,
for
in
their
temporall
gouernements
,
one
brother
doth
euer
succeed
another
,
vntill

in

from
the

to
the
slaue

are
all
perpetuall
beggars
from

howbeit
small
matters
will
satisfie
them
,
except
it
be
in

for

they
sell
all
things
they
haue
,
and
the
Kings
The
King
of
Cassan
,
who
was
dwelling
in
the
Towne
,
as
wee
came
vp
the
Riuer
,
with
whom
I
spake
,
drunke
two
or
three
bottles
of
Aqua
vitae
,
and
had
much
familiar
conference
,
who
had
liued
in
that
place
many
yeares
,
howbeit
hee
was
a
lame
man
;
after
we
returned
downe
the
Riuer
,
and
made
stay
at
that
Towne
we
found
him
nothing
so
merrily
inclined
,
as
he
was
at
our
going
vp
:
whereupon
demanding
among
some
of
the
rest
the
reason
,
they
told
vs

hee
was
to
be
put
out
of
his
kingdome
;
enquiring
But
before
I
leaue
them
,
it
were
necessary
I
should
acquaint
you
,
what
manner
of
ceremony
doth
passe
betwixt

and
vs
as
we
meet
together
;
the
King
is
commonly
sitting
on
his
mat
,
laid
on
the
ground
,
which
in
our
entrance
he
obserueth
,
not
offring
to
rise
;
and
in
regard
he
hath
nothing
but
his
Gregories
on
his
head
,
which
are
fast
and
cannot
stirre
,
We
do
not
vse
to
mooue
our
hatts

The
discourse
of
their
Maribuckes
or
religious
men
.
ANd
so
by
order
,
I
am
now
come
to
speake
of
their
Marybuckes
or
Bissareas
,
which
we
in
our
language
,
may
call
religious
Persons
,
or
Priests
of
the
country
.
The
Mary-buckes
are
seperated
from
the
common
people
,
both
in
their
habitations
&
course
of
liues
,
concerning
whom
I
haue
with
dilligence
But
for
the
number
of
their
wiues
and
women
,
they
haue
the
selfe
course
,
that
I
described
before
The
Towne
is
called
Setico
,
lying
from
the
Riuer
side
some
three
miles
:
to
this
Towne
I
went
,
hauing
occasion
in
following
of
our
Trade
,
to
lye
with
my
boate
so
neere
as
I
could
come
,
my
Guide
or
Fodee
Karcere
was
my
Alchade
,
and
bought
&
sold
for
me
.
Conductor
,
was
one
of
my
blacke
people
I
hired
,
called
Fodee
Careere
,
who
in
his
profession
was
a
Mary-bucke
,
and
they
are
for
our
commodities
to
be
hired
,
and
will
put
their
hand
to
any
needfull
occasion
,
like
as
any
of
the
temporall
sort
would
do
.
This
was
the
first
of
the
Country
,
who
euer
I
entertained
and
continued
with
mee
,
both
vp
into
the
highest
part
I
went
,
as
likewise
all
the
time
I
followed
any
trade
in
the
Riuer
,
with
whom
we
doe
agree
by
the
moone
,
how
much
hee
is
to
haue
,
which
agreement
he
receiues
when
the
moone
is
ended
,
in
some
commodity
of
ours
which
he
desireth
,
the
valuation
whereof
,
amounts
vnto
a
poore
summe
:
our
continuance
together
,
had
bred
such
an
affectionate
league
,
betweene
vs
,
that
we
were
vnited
as
people
of
one
place
,
and
in
those
courses
of
trade
we
followed
,
I
did
not
onely
aske
and
require
his
aduise
,
but
in
most
things
allowed
and
followed
the
same
:
with
that
Mary-bucke
,
I
had
diuerse
and
sundry
communications
,
concerning
their
Religion
,
wherein
many
times
he
would
wish
,
that
I
might
once
come
to
conuerse
with
their
chiefe
man
,
whom
he
called
Fodee
Bram
,
who
Fodee
Bram
was
the
chiefe
Mary-bucke
of
all
the
Country
.
would
as
he
sayd
giue
me
full
satisfaction
,
concerning
their
religious
orders
;
and
being
now
come
to
the
Port
of
Setico
,
for
so
we
called
it
,
he
was
very
importunate
I
should
goe
vp
to
see
the
towne
and
visit
this
religious
person
,
I
receiued
his
direction
,
what
Present
it
was
fittest
,
I
should
carry
him
vp
,
wherwith
furnished
,
taking
two
of
our
men
with
me
,
one
of
them
carrying
a
fowling
peece
on
his
necke
,
we
came
to
the
towne
,
but
mee
ting
of
some
of
the
dwellers
by
the
way
,
they
had
told
vs
that
this
Fodee
Bram
was
very
il
,
and
dangerously
sicke
,
whereat
they
seemed
much
to
mourne
.
Being
entered
the
Towne
,
and
come
vnto
his
house
,
I
found
without
many
people
,
demaunding
Alle
Alle
;
neither
haue
they
amongst
them
,
any
manner
of
image
,
or
picture
,
or
resemblance
of
any
diuine
things
The
place
where
we
had
houses
built
,
and
walled
with
straw
for
our
owne
vses
,
was
seated
by
the
Riuer
side
,
vpon
the
top
of
the
banke
;
and
by
the
people
of
the
Country
,
called
Tobabo
Condo
,
the
whitemans
towne
:
some
hundred
paces
within
vs
,
from
the
Riuer
,
was
a
small
towne
of
these
religious
people
,
One
ceremony
more
of
their
Religion
,
I
will
relate
,
if
you
please
to
remember
,
where
and
how
I
left
the
chiefe
Mary-bucke
sicke
and
full
of
danger
,
it
did
manifest
no
lesse
,
for
in
the
euening
,
the
day
after
I
came
from
him
,
he
died
,
the
report
whereof
,
was
immediately
spread
ouer
the
whole
countrey
,
This
Assembly
held
,
for
the
space
of
ten
dayes
,
with
a
continuall
recourse
,
of
comming
and
going
,
but
not
altogether
for
the
buriall
of
the
dead
;
for
after
certayne
dayes
were
spent
in
the
celebrating
of
his
Obsequies
,
then
beganne
a
great
solemnitie
,
for
the
establishing
and
inuesting
of
his
eldest
sonne
in
his

I
should
now
deliuer

wherein
,
with
humble
reuerence
,
I
craue
pardon
,
that
my

the

be
made
an
instrument
,
to
shew
or
set
downe

any
thing
opposite
vnto
my
Lord
and

,
but
by
shewing
the
weaknes
of

and
the
wisedome
that
remaines
in

flesh

the
glory
of

more
perfectly
appeares
,

may
please
you
to
call
to

,
when
I
left
the
Kings
in

I
promised
to
shew
you
a
soberer
people
,
which
are
these
Mary-bucks
,
betwixt
whom
and
the

a
wonderfull
difference

vpon

the

Our

vp
the

WHen
I
was
come
to
Baraconda
,
which
is
the
highest
Towne
the
Riuer
flowes
vnto
,
and
notwithstanding
all
the
discouragement
I
receiued
,
was
absolutely
bent
to
proceed
vp
the
Riuer
,
by
meanes
of
Bacay
Tombo
,
a
principall
man
of
that
Countrey

Thus
we
being

Englishmen
,
and
these

Blackes
,
went

in

were
going
against

vntill

was

wherein
I
desire
to
be
rightly
vnderstood
,
that
our
labour
was
Buckor
Sano
of
Tinda
,
to
whom
we
sent
a
Present
,
and
likewise
I
sent
to
the
King
of
the
place
,
as
the
manner
is
;
and
gaue
our
Blacke-men
wherewithall
to
buy

we
should
expect

said
Sonday

,
wherin
I
speake
after
our
owne
phrase
:
and
while
they
are
trauelling
,
it
will
be
necessary
I
acquaint
you
,
what
were
the
grounds
or
reasons
we
sought
after
this
Buckor
Sano
,
and
laboured
to
get
neare
to
this
Tinda
,
making
more
especiall
choice
of
him
,
then
of
any
other
man
.
George
Tompson
,
in
his
diligence
,
while
hee
liued
,
hearing
of
diuerse
Carauans
,
that
past
in
the
country
,
and
went
downe
to
the
King
of
Bursals
dominions
for
salt
,
had
learned
,
that
the
onely
and
principallest
man
that
maintained
the
greatest
Trade
,
was
that
Buckor
Sano
,
whose
dwelling
was
at
Tinda
,
who
maintained
and
kept
too
.
Asses
following
that
tedious
trauell
.
Tompsons
desire
led
him
forthwith
,
to
goe
finde
this
Marchant
,
and
in
a
paire
of
Oares
,
as
I
spake
in
the
beginning
,
went
vp
the
Riuer
,
and
trauelling
some
way
by
land
recouered
Tinda
,
but
found
not
his
blacke
Merchant
,
in

he
was
trauelled
higher
into
the
Country
,
in
the
sale
and
vttering
of
his
salt
Commodity
:
Thompson
returned
,
but
found
his
expectation
so
satisfied
,
in
that
he
had
hard
of
the
Moores
of
Barbary
,
and
was
come
so
neere
where
they
frequented
,
that
hee
talkt
of
nothing
,
but
how
to
settle
habitations
,
and
fortefie
the
Riuer
to
defende
themselues
,
and
keepe
out
other
nations
;
but
these
his
desires
died
in
his
vnhappy
end
,
and
this
was
all
our
acquaintance
;
which
now
I
came
to
second
,
by
sending
vnto
this
Buckor
Sano
to
come
downe
vnto
the
Riuer
to
vs
,
as
the
onely
man
we
were
willing
to
sell
,
and
commend
our
commodities
vnto
.
And
by
this
time
Sunday
night
is
come
,
and
none
of
my
blackmen
returned
,
monday
likewise
all
spent
in
expectation
,
on
twesday
our
men
began
to
grumble
,
and
my
especiall
consort
to
speake
out
,
there
was
no
reason
wee
should
hazard
our
Buckor
Sanus
brother
,
and
the
King
of
Tindas
seruant
,
and
they
came
before
to
Buckor
Sano
would
be
there
himselfe
;
I
had
them
aboord
my
boate
,
and
made
them
curteous
entertainment
,
giuing
them
some
small
commodities
,
and
when
the
euening
came
,
we
feasted
with
our
Venison
.
The
next
day
about
noone
,
came
Buckor
Sano
with
his
musicke
playing
before
him
,
with
Buckor
Sano
slept
foundly
vpon
my
bed
by
me
in
the
boate
,
and
in
the
morning
complained
of
his
head
,
and
this
much
I
must
iustifie
in
his
behalfe
,
that
during
The
first
thing
he
did
,
after
he
came
on
shore
,
he
caused
on
to
make
a
lowed
outcry
,
in
manner
of
a
proclamation
prohibing
any
of
the
people
,
All
that
day
hee
found
himselfe
so
sicke
,
after
his
drinking
,
that
hee
told
me
hee
could
tend
no
businesse
,
onely
hee
shewed
vnto
mee
,
certaine
young
blacke
women
,
who
were
standing
by
themselues
,
and
had
white
strings
crosse
their
bodies
,
which

who
taking
note
of
our

swords
,
and
some
other
things
wee
had
,
although
but
poorely
set
out
,
with
some
shew
of
gold
trimming
,
did
aske
if
that
were
gold
:
hee
was
answered
,
Yes
:
it
should
seeme
sayth
he
,
you
haue
much
of
this
in
your
Countrey
:
Wee
affirmed
the
same
,
and
that
it
was
a
thing
our
men
did
all
vse
to
weare
,
and
therefore
if
they
had
any
,
wee
would
buy
it
of
them
,
because
wee
had
more
vse
then
they
for
it
,
you
shall
haue
sayd
he
,
what
is
amongst
our
women
here
;
but
if
I
did
know
you
would
esteeme
of
that
,
I
would
be
prouided
,
to
bring
you
such
quantitie
,
as
should
buy
all
things
you
brought
:
and
if
you
would
be
sure
to
come
still
vnto
vs
,
I
would
not
faile
to
meete
you
.
And
proceeding
further
hee
sayd
:
This
Countrey
aboue
doth
abound
therewith
,
insomuch
as
these
eyes
of
mine
(
poynting
two
of
his
fingers
to
his
eyes
,
as
the
Countrey
manner
in
speaking
is
,
)
hath
beene
foure
seuerall
times
,
at
a
great
Towne
aboue
,
the
houses
whereof
are
couered
onely
with
gold
:
wee
demaunded
of
him
,
how
long
he
was
going
,
and
comming
thither
:
he
answered
foure
Moones
;
we
asked
him
,
if
hee
would
carry
some
of
vs
thither
,
hee
answered
:
Yes
,
but
they
had
enemies
by
the
Buckor
Sanos
report
of
gold
and
of
the
houses
aboue
couered
therewith
.
way
,
sometimes
to
fight
with
them
,
wee
shewed
him
presently
our
gunnes
,
and
tolde
him
wee
would
carry
them
with
vs
,
and
kill
them
all
,
at
which
he
seemed
to
take
a
great
deale
of
content
.
Before
I
goe
further
,
I
will
take
occasion
heere
to
set
downe
their
manner
of
trauell
.
They
goe
in
companies
together
,
and
driue
before
them
their
Buckor
Sano

blacke
Merchant
.
In
our
time
of
trading
together
,
if
it
were
his
owne
goods
he
bartred
for
,
he
would
tell
vs
,
this
is
for
my selfe
,
and
you
must
deale
better
with
me
,
then
either
with
the
Kings
of
the
Country
or
any
others
,
because
I
am
as
you
are
,
a
Iulietto
,
which
signifies
a
Merchant
,
that
goes
from
place
to
place
,
neither
do
I
,
as
the
Kings
of
our
Country
do
which
is
to
eate
,
and
drinke
,
and
lye
still
at
home
amongst
their
women
,
but
I
seeke
abroad
as
you
doe
;
and
therefore
am
nearer
vnto
you

neither

I
vnwilling

his
subtill
speech
.
to
answere
somewayes
his
expectation
,
in
hope
I
should
better
forward
our
owne
endes
.
In
our
course
of
familiarity
,
after
time
I
tooke
some
speciall
note
of
the
blade
of
his
sword
,
and
a
paire
of
brasse
bracelts
one
of
his
wiues
had
vpon
her
armes
,
both
which
things
did
appeare
to
me

to
be
such
as
might
very
well
be
brought
in
their

,
either
from
London
,
or

demanded
of

made

was
a

This
his
relation
made
it
certaine
,
that

were

of

trade
and
trafficke

the
ground
of
this
our
being
so
high
in

we
grew
to
question
him
,
how
neare
those
people
came
to
the
place
we
were
now
at
,
he
answered
,
within
6
dayes
iourney
there
is
a
towne
called

Mumbarre
,
vnto
which
towne
,

we
askt
againe
,
what
commodities
they
brought
with
them
,
hee
answered
much
salt
and
diuers
other
things
,
wee
desired
then
to
know
what
they
exchange
for
,
and
carryed
backe
:
he
answered
nothing
but
gold
,
and
that
they
onely
desire
to
haue
,
and
returned
nothing
else
;
wee
questioned
him
farther
,
whether
hee
would
vndertake
to
carry
any

very
desirous
to
giue
me
full
satisfaction
,
so
as
from
him
these
were
the
principals
I
gathered

another

of

into

curtcously
vsed

demaunding
if
hee
did
not
knowe
of
our
being
there
,
in
reguard
we
thought
he
might
heare
our

he
answered
they
had
hard
the
noyse
,
and
were
much
amazed
,
supposing
it
to
bee

,
being
the
more
feareful
vnto
them
,
because
the
sound
came

,
it
was
not

they
were
very
desirous
also
to
buy
of
our
salt
,
and
some
of
that
little
store
we
brought
they
had
;
which
the
people
on
the
other
side
did
vnwillingly
spare
;
we
bought
of
them
such
commodities
as
the
rest
had
,
and
wonderfull
desirous
they
were
wee
should
come
againe
vnto
them

of

did
weare
in

next
day
amongst
many
that
came
vnto

place
,
we
did
obserue
some
,
who
were
markt
vnder
both
their
eyes
,
with
three
blewe
stroakes
,
resembling
George
Thompson
,
and
that
he
had
a
wife
in
Ferambras
towne
:
which
was
within
three
miles
of
Tobabo
Conda
,
the
place
where
our
habitation
vpon
the
land
was
:
and
George
Thompson
did
vse
to
lye
at
this
Ferambras
house
,
who
had
shewed
himselfe
a
faithfull
friend
,
in
time
of
neede
vnto
him
,
and
his
company
,
and
likewise
confirmed
the
same
vnto
me

by
diuers
Curtesies

of
trade

I
askt
the
Mary-bucke
from
whence
he
came
,
and
he
answered
from
Iaye
,
a
towne
nine
dayes
trauell
higher
in
the
countrey
,
whether
he
was
sent
by
George
Thompson
,
and
seemed
to
lament
much
for
his
death
,
hee
tolde
vs
there
was
great
store
of
gold
,
at
that
place
,
and
that
immane
,
immane
,
which
signifies
naught
,
or
the
thing
they
like
not
:
hee
had
two
or
three
other
consorts
with
him
,
and
made
hast
to
be
gone
,
keeping
themselues
seuered
,
from
the
other
people
:
during
their
time
,
of
staye
,
he
told
vs
,
he
was
going
downe
to
Ferambras
,
and
by
him
I
sent
letters
to
our
Marchants
below
,
which
were
very
orderly
deliuered
,
by
reason
he
was
in
some
feare
,
and
came
in
the
night
aboard
of
vs
,
making
such
hast
away
,
we
had
little
conference
;
but
meeting
of
him
afterwards
in
my
trade
at
Setico
,
I
had
a
full
and
large
discourse
,
and
receiued
the
intelligence
which
I
will
now
recite
:
Hee
told
me
that
not
farre
from
Iaye
,
there
were
a
people
who
would
Buckor
Sano
and
others
,
if
they
had
a
towne
called
Tombutto
,
that
To
this
let
me
now
set
downe
,
although
not
able
to
name
particular
authours
,
what
is
the
generall
report
for
the
Moore
of
Barbary
his
trade
.
That
it
is
certaine
when
they
come
vp
into
the
country
where
Buckor
Sano
and
vs
.
They
were
earnest
we
would
giue
a
name
vnto
the
place
wee
traded
in
,
that
might
remaine
as
a
memoriall
of
of
our
being
there
,
I
called
it
by
the
name
of
Saint
Iohns
Mart
,
which
they
repeated
There
is
,
without
doubt
,
no
people
on
the
earth
more
naturally
affected
to
the
sound
of
musicke
then
these
people
;
which
the
principall
persons
do
hold
as
an
ornament
of
their
state
,
so
as
when
wee
come
to
see
them
,
their
musicke
will
seldome
be
wanting
,
wherein
they
haue
a
perfect
resemblance
to
the
Irish
Rimer
sitting
in
the
same
maner
as
they
I
haue
set
downe
before
,
where
I
report
the
manner
of
our
going
vp
the
riuer
,
that
I
carried
with
me
foure
blackes
;
whereof
the
one
was
a
boy
,
or
young
youth
,
whom
I
call
by
the
name
of
Samgully
;
who
in
reguard
of
his
continuance
with
George
Tompson
,
and
after
him
with
the
rest
of
our
company
,
had
learnd
to
speake
pretty
Englis
;
and
withall
had
taken
such
an
affection
towards
vs
;
that
he
did
seeme
euen
hartely
to
neglect
father
and
mother
,
and
his
owne
home
,
in
his
desires
to
follow
vs
:
he
was
about
the
age
of
17.
yeeres
,
a
straight
youthand
of
a
handsome
growth
;
yet
was
he
not
circumcised
:
how
beit
hee
should
haue
beene
the
yeere
before
,
but
his
absence
with
the
white
people
,
which
was
some
of
our
company
,
when
the
time
of
circumcision
came
,
was
the
only
cause
he
mist
cutting
them
:
and
this
yeere
hee
was
to
bee
circumcised
,
or
else
there
was
some
great
penalty
to
light
vpon
his
friends
,
or
danger
to
himselfe
;
which
appeared
in
their
earnestnesse
to
keepe
him
from
going
vp
with
vs
;
notwithstanding
,
hee
was
stollen
beyond
the
towne
his
friends
dwelt
in
with
vs
,
as
farre
as
our
boate
would
goe
in
two
tides
;
and
there
ouertooke
vs
his
mother
:
who
on
the
shore
made

of
my
consorts

with
our
blacke
Alchade

who
wee
hired
from
this
town
,
wherein
his
mother
likewise
dwelt
,
and
our
blacke
boy
,
ashore
we
went
,
the
bakne
was
high
from
the
riuer
;
which
the
boy
first
gat
vp
,
where
presently
ascended
,
he
began
to
leape
and
sing
,
making
great
shewes
of
ioy
,
holding
vp
his
hand
,
and
pointing
towards
the
towne
,
which
as
I
said
was

Amongst
the
rest
of
these
dispersed
companies
;
I
tooke
speciall
notice
of
one
,
who
stood
more
remote
,
and
was
closde
and
seuered
in
,
vnder
the
shady
trees
,
which
reedes
,
and
bowes
set
vp
together
like
a
hedge
,
from
whence
proceeded
,
a
greater
noyse
of
voyces
;
as
also
drumming
,
and
thumping
,
mor
clamorosly
:
demaunding
what
it
meant
,
I
was
answered
,
in
that
place
remained
those
youthes
that
Boo
Iohn
the
maister
of
the
place
,
excusing
himselfe
that
we
lay
not
at
his
house
,
in
regard
of
much
company
and
noyse
:
but
more
especially
,
because
one
of
his
wiues
was
lately
deliuered
of
a
child
,
vnto
whom
he
carried
me
within
a
house
by
herselfe
,
where
she
lay
after
their
fashion
vpon
a
mat
handsomely
;
I
gaue
vnto
the
mother
for
the
childe
,
a
few
poore
beades
,
which
were
very
thankfully
taken
,
and
he
said
,
if
it
had
beene
a
man
child
,
it
should
haue
had
one
of
our
co
upanies
name
,
with
whom
he
had
beene
longest
acquainted
;
but
saith
he
,
my
wife
Dowry
is
with
child
,
and
if
shee
bring
a
man
child
,
it
shall
carry
your
name
;
for
so
shee
earnestly
desires
:
these
familiarities
past
betwixt
vs
,
after
which
wee
betooke
our selues
to
our
seuerall
lodgings
,
and
were
nothing
frighted
with
the
roaring
cry
of
their
diuell
;
who
at
these
ceremonious
meetings
so
soone
as
euening
comes
is
conuersant
by
his
roaring
voyce
amongst
them
,
and
so
continues
all
,
or
the
most
part
of
the
night
,
whereof
I
shall
presently
giue
you
relation
:
But
first
,
I
must
conclude
of
their
circumcision
;
for
the
sight
whereof
,
as
euen
now
I
told
you
,
we
did
reserue
our selues
to
receiue
aduertisement
of
our
Samgulleyes
cutting
,
which
was
to
be
done
in
the
morning
.
And
accordingly
,
the
Sunne
some
two
houres
high
,
we
had
a
messenger
came
to
entreate
we
would
send
him
a
white
cloath
,
and
that
hee
would
pray
vs
to
come
&
see
him
.
As
soon
as
we
came
,
he
was
broght
forth
into
the
open
field
betweene
the
houses
,
and
the
place
where
they
remained
,
who
were
cut
the
day
before
they
had
taken
away
his
clothes
,
they
broght
him
ashore
in
;
which
was
shirt
,
breeches
,
and
a
cap
of
stript
stuffe
,
after
the
brauest
fashion
of
the
country
,
and
onely
brought
him
with
a
white
cloath
close
about
him
:
whereas
we
did
expect
some
great
ceremony
after
a
religious
manner
to
be
performed
:
He
was
first
set
downe
vpon
a
little
mole-hill
,
diuers
people
comming
foorth
to
see
him
,
amongst
the
which
were
most
women
,
who
stood
directly
a
little
And
to
make
vp
the
number
at
all
these
meetings
,
there
is
one
sure
card
that
neuer
failes
,
which
is
their
Bo
Iohns
house
to
the
place
at
Faye
,
Ho-reyes
voyce
was
wondrous
busie
,
as
it
seemed
to
me
,
not
farre
of
.
I
spake
vnto
my
consorts
,
we
would
secretly
take
our
armes
,
and
steale
downe
,
to
see
what
it
was
,
one
of
our
three
was
backeward
and
vnwilling
,
whereby
it
came
to
passe
,
our
Marybucke
vnderstood
what
we
intended
,
who
came
earnestly
vnto
mee
,
intreating
,
I
would
giue
ouer
that
dangerous
attempt
,
saying
,
I
could
not
finde
him
,
for
one
cry
would
be
hard
by
me
,
and
another
instantly
beyond
the
riuer
,
which
was
a
mile
of
,
and
there
was
great
danger
,
he
would
carry
me
into
the
Riuer
with
him
:
when
hee
perceiued
,
he
could
not
alter
my
resolution
,
he
held
mee
by
the
arme
,
and
pointing
to
a
blacke
,
not
farre
from
mee
,
held
downe
his
head
.
I
went
to
that
man
,
being
a
very
lusty
fellow
,
to
speake
vnto
him
,
whose
voyce
was
growne
so
horse
,
by
crying
like
Ho-re
,
he
had
no
vtterance
,
whereupon
I
returned
to
my
Marybucke
,
But
that
the
diuell
hath
great
recourse
amongst
them
,
is
without
qvestion
,
especially
,
as
I
noted
before
,
with
the
Rimers
or
Iuddyes
;
I
will
specifie
one
intelligence
we
had
,
and
so
leaue
him
there
amongst
them
:
When
wee
came
first
vp
the
Riuer
,
we
were
vncertaine
of
our
owne
times
,
much
lesse
then
any
other
,
could
sixe
houres
of
going
,
staying
,
or
comming
to
a
place
:
howbeit
wee
were
to
come
to
a
towne
called
Pompetane
,
at
which
place
Iasper
Consaluos
,
who
had
a
young
kinsman
with
him
,
called
Marko
,
but
no
women
but
blacks
;
this
dwelling
of
his
was
the
highest
by
many
leagues
of
any
Portugall
in
the
Riuer
;
and
uery
faire
quart
er
,
euer
past
betwixt
vs
,
we
came
to
this
place
,
the
14.
of
December
,
betweene
eight
and
nine
in
the
morning
,
and
notwithstanding
,
the
dwelling
houses
were
somewhat
remote
from
the
riuer
,
we
found
standing
vpon
the
banke
at
the
landing
place
this
Consaluos
,
who
in
friendly
sort
saluted
vs
,
and
carryed
vs
vp
to
his
housing
,
where
presently
we
found
ready
a
very
good
breakefast
of
hens
,
and
other
good
refreshing
,
which
he

aster
he
told

that
the

before

he
was
at
another
towne
within
the
land
,
and
had
no
meaning
to

home
,
when
as
there
came
vnto
him
a
Iuddy
ot
Fidler
,
which
dwelt
in
the
towne
with
him
,
and
did
likewise
shew

the
man
,
who
told
him
that
Ho-re
had
acquainted
him
,
that
the
next
morning
,
and
at
such
an
houre
,
there
would
be
so
many
white
men
at
Pompetane
,
naming
the
number
that
were
in
our
boates
,
and
that
there
they
would
land
:
but
to
what
purpose
,
either
to
doe
good
or
hurt
,
the
Deuill
was
ignorant
;
and
vpon
It
followes
,
concerning
what
trades
,
or
occupations
is
in
vse
amongst
them
,
whereof
wee
note
only
three
:
the
first
and
chiefest
is
the
Ferraro
or
Smith
,
who
holds
a
good
repute
:
notwithstanding
,
they
haue
no
Iron
of
their
owne
making
,
but
what
is
Another
profession
we
finde
,
and
those
are
they
who
temper
the
earth
,
and
makes
the
walles
of
their
houses
,
and
likewise
earthen
pots
they
set
to
the
fire
,
to
boyle
and
dresse
their
food
in
for
all
other
occasions
,
they
vse
no
other
mettle
,
but
serue
themselues
with
the
gourd
,
which
performs
it
very
neatly
;
And
so
I
passe
to
their
laborious
trauell
,
and
generall
trade
amongst
them
,
from
which
none
are
exempted
,
but
the
Kings

principall

such
as

to
speake
of
the
Babowne

I
must
say
,
it
is
a
wonderfull
thing
,
to
obserue
a
kind
of
common-wealth
that
is
amongst
them
;
they
haue
none
but
their
owne
kind
together
,

are
in

,
of
three

foure
thousand
in

they
goe

vp

sort

against

persuing

and
in
this
manner
doe
they
march
along
:
they
are
very
bold
,
and
as
we
passe
in
the
riuer
,
when
we
come
neare
their

,
they
will
get
vp
into

in
a
kind
of
collericke
humour

will
shake

clatter
the

that
fashion

doth
exceed
the
strength
of

doe

And
to
conclude

amongst

we
haue
enquired
amongst

especially
,
when
I
was
at

whether
they
could
tell

one
onely
horne

told
me

that

is
a

The
Conclusion

And
for
a
finall
end
doe
earnestly
desire
,
that
what
is
written
may
be
taken
into
consideration
,
thereby
to
stirre
vp
a
more
willing
affection
to
prosecute

goe
on
in
a
timely
proceeding
vpon
this
hopefull
trade
,
which
will
craue
expedition
in
regard
of
these
reasons
following
:
First
there
is
,
as
it
were
,
a
certaine
combination
made
betwixt
the
people
aboue
and
vs
,
neuer
to
faile
them
of
a
yearely
trade
,
which
they
in
their
parts
,
(
without
all
doubt
)
will
caresully
expect
,
and
as
they
haue
faithfully
promised
,
will
accordingly
prouide
for
,
and
if
in
our
parts
,
it
should
be
neglected
,
may
iustly
cause
them
to
take
a
great
distrust
of
our
fidelities
,
which
in
regard
,
we
are
now
the
first
white
people
they
haue
seene
,
and
haue
from
them
receiued
such
faire
approbation
,
may
settle
a
distast
for
the
present
very
preiudiciall
,
and
among
such
a
barbarous
people
,
wee
know
not
whether
it
may
be
easily
remooued
.
Againe
the
course
we
run
,
is
allowable
by
our
Lawes
,
fitting
and
agreeing
with
the
peacefull
time
we
liue
in
,
opposite
to
no
neighbourly
loue
or
amity

neither

Prince
,
by

,
or
intermedling

any
forbidden
territories
,
neither
is
it
done

,
or

manner

Commerse

commodious
exchange
answering
to
either
side
,
wherein
an
especiall
animation
is

the
certaine
knowledge
we
haue
gained
in
discouering
the
golden
trade
of
the
Moores
in
Barbary
,
which
was
the
first
incourager
and
beginning
of
this
businesse
,

for
which
the
Aduentures
hitherto
haue
beene
laide
,
through
the
vncertainety
whereof
,
those
losses
and
mischances
that
haue
hapned
,
fell
out
,
and
therefore
now
should
with
a
more
setled
resolution
be
followed
to
regaine
,
by
knowledge
,
what
ignorance
miscarryed
in
.
And
I
may
ioyne
with
this
,
the
familiar
conuersation
,
faire
acceptance
,
and
mutuall
amitie
,
we
finde
the
natiues
to
embrace
vs
withall

not
onely
celaring
our
owne
doubts
,
which
before
knowledge
must
of
necessity
be
,
but
likewise
disproouing
,
and
altogether
confounding
the
report
and
speeches
of
all
those
,
who
,
to
serue
their
owne
ends
,
gaue
out

the
people
aboue
to
bee
a
bloody
and
dangerous
nation

Againe
to
aduance

let
the
already
knowne
and
certaine
trade
be
remembred

in
my
owne
perfect
knowledge
I
will
make
good

Maligners
,
and
secret
opposers
)
that
in
our
staple
and
principall
commodities
,
it
is
not
vented
,
but
at
tenne
for
one
profite
;
and
admitte
the
discouery
should
not
prooue
;
yet
there
will
be
found
places
of
trade
sufficient
,
and
that
within
the
limit
of
faire
recourse
,
to
vent
and
put
of
such
a
reasonable
proportion
as
shall
bring
a
returne
of
that
aduantage
,
as
shall
be
able
to
beare
the
charge
of
a
further
search
,
and
likewise
answer
the
expectation
here
at
home
of
any
reasonable
minded
aduenturer
,
prouided
they
doe
arme
themselues
by
knowledge
,
of
what
those
things
are
which
are
vendible
,
and
likewise
how
to
attaine
vnto
those
places
,
and
order
their
occasions
,
where
those
returnes
are
to
be
made
;
whereunto
is
added
that
the
expectation
is
not
long
,
in
respect
of
other
voyages
,
when
as
the
returne
is
such
,
that
within
the
compasse
of
tenne
moneths
,
the
whole
voyage
is
to
be
performed
,
both
out
and
home
,
allowing
the
ship
to
bee
set
foorth
from
London
,
and
to
to
make
their
her
returne
againe
.
Moreouer
by
the
last
discouery
,
so
many
hundred
miles
vp
the
Riuer
,
all
which
way
is
perfectly
known
,
and
from
part
to
part
obserued
,
and
euery
reach
in
order
by
me
set
downe
,
and
carefully
kept
,
which
may
not
onely
cleare
any
doubts
and
difficulties
in
that
already
knowne
way
,
but
likewise
enable
the
iudgement
for
passing
further
,
and
especially
order
and
giue
directions
,
what
boates
or
vessels
are
most
apt
and
proper
to
follow
the
discouery
withall
,
as
well
for
speedier
passage
,
as
also
for
the
most
aduantage
,
to
a
more
profitable
returne
.
And
further
we
may
take
into
consideration
,
how
the
times
and
seasons
of
the
yeare
,
are
vnto
vs
discouered
,
that
the
turbulent
and
infectious
seasons
may
bee
prouided
for
,
and
men
aduised
the
better
to
beare
them
,
and
prouide
for
themselues
,
whereby
(
as
it
shall
please
God
to
giue
a
blessing
)
those
inconueniences
may
bee
auoyded
,
which
formerly
haue
beene
fallen
into
,
and
things
more
necessary
carryed
along
,
which
through
ignorance
heeretofore
haue
beene
neglected
,
together
with
diuerse
other
abuses
,
that
by
experience
,
no
doubt
,
may
be
amended
.
And
lastly
,
in
taking
leaue
of
you
the
noble
gentlemen
Aduenturers
in
this
hopefull
Discouerie
,
let
mee
(
vnder
correction
)
say
vnto
you
,
Be
not
discouraged
,
let
not
the
iangling
dispositions
of
any
,
whom
your
owne
wisedomes
leades
you
to
see
aime
onely
to
make
vp
their
owne
ends
,
dis
hearten
you
.
And
if
it
please
you
examine
the
condition
of
what
is
past
,
which
,
if
I
mistake
not
,
may
bee
this
set
downe
.
The
first
aduenture
was
lost
,
and
miscarried
through
want
of
Care
and
Iudgement
of
those
Sea-men
and
Merchants
who
had
the
managing
,
by
ouer-much
trust
of
supposed
friends
,
who
should
at
the
very
best
haue
beene
no
otherwise
thought
and
conceited
of
,
then
suspicious
enimies
,
The
second
may
some-wayes
be
laid
vppon
the
Sea-men
,
whose
vnderstanding
should
haue
auoyded
vnseasonable
times
,
and
especially
Discretion
should
haue
led
them
to
haue
shunned
watering
in
the
very
height
of
vnseasonablenesse
;
but
it
may
be
excused
for
want
of
experience
,
insomuch
as
there
had
neuer
beene
any
triall
made
,
so
high
in
the
Riuer
before
to
any
effect
,
to
discouer
the
vnholsomnesse
,
with
the
operation
thereof
,
whereby
so
many
of
them
lost
their
liues
,
and
brought
again
another
losse
vpon
you
,
wherein
the
power
of
God
was
manifested
,
by
whose
onely
hand
they
fell
,
and
those
few
that
returned
,
were
sent
to
testifie
,
what
they
had
felt
and
fallen
into
,
whereby
you
haue
gained
a
perpetuall
knowledge
,
for
obscruing
seasonable
times
,
for
your
better
proceeding
heereafter
,
the
valuation
whereof
being
truly
vnderstood
,
may
aduance
the
imployment
,
which
onely
remaineth
in
that
losse
,
to
make
you
satisfaction
.
And
for
this
third
and
last
,
wherein
mine
eyes
haue
beene
a
witnesse
,
how
accounts
are
brought
in
,
and
perfected
with
you
,
I
am
ignorant
,
but
I
presume
,
as
bad
as
it
was
,
what
with
the
returne
that
was
made
,
and
the
remaynes
brought
home
,
of
the
Cargazon
that
was
sent
,
you
cannot
(
being
iustly
dealt
withall
)
receiue
any
losse
;
but
for
gaine
,
it
was
neuer
intended
towards
you
,
the
whole
businesse
being
carried
by
those
you
gaue
credit
,
and
countenance
vnto
,
with
an
absolute
hand
,
to
abate
and
discourage
your
desires
,
for
wading
further
vppon
these
Aduentures
,
as
by
the
manner
thereof
appeareth
,
which
I
haue
already
particularly
acquainted
you
withall
,
and
vnnecessary
to
be
remembred
heere
;
Onely
this
remaines
,
to
make
good
,
what
I
in
carefull
duety
desired
to
lay
open
vnto
you
,
from
whence
that
first
intent
,
of
giuing
that
blow
of
discouragement
vnto
you
,
did
arise
:
you
haue
beene
since
subiect
to
diuers
other
incounters
,
and
all
occasions
are
still
earnestly
pursued
,
to
imbrace
that
oportunitie
,
that
will
giue
leaue
or
way
to
strike
you
;
And
whereas
they
seeke
to
discourage
you
,
yet
by
all
publique
and
secret
meanes
can
be
deuised
,
they
both
haue
and
doe
still
addresse
themselues
,
to
proceed
and
goe
on
in
the
same
aduenture
,
as
you
both
know
,
and
haue
had
iust
cause
to
except
against
.
And
apparent
it
is
,
that
notwithstanding
you
in
your
generous
dispositions
haue
sate
downe
by
the
losse
,
yet
there
is
that
haue
gained
.
But
allow
(
if
it
please
you
)
all
had
beene
lost
,
if
you
shall
againe
consider
,
what
charges
and
expences
haue
beene
layd
foorth
,
and
disbursed
in
Discoueries
of
this
nature
,
nay
in
those
of
farre
lesse
expectation
;
with
the
recoueries
and
satisfaction
,
that
afterwards
they
haue
made
,
euen
to
this
our
natiue
Countrey
,
whereof
I
forbeare
examples
,
in
regard
they
are
not
hidden
from
your
true
and
ingenious
knowledge
:
Only
in
regard
of
some
great
resemblance
,
that
may
be
to
this
intended
business
,
I
may
commend
to
your
considerations
,
the
voiage
into
Muscouie
,
wherein
the
Marchants
haue
that
long
passage
of
so
many
hundred
leagues
vp
a
Riuer
;
and
by
a
customary
trade
,
is
brought
to
bee
held
as
an
ordinary
passage
,
the
Countrey
,
being
fitted
accordingly
,
by
which
vse
,
it
is
now
no
other
wayes
vnto
them
,
then
(
as
wee
may
terme
it
heere
)
our
Westerne
passages
vp
the
Riuer
of
Thames
;
wherein
were
more
probability
for
the
attaining
of
this
we
ayme
at
,
in
regard
our
Riuer
is
at
all
times
open
,
and
not
subiect
to
cold
,
nor
those
extreame
frosts
,
which
to
the
Muscouy
trade
,
are
so
great
hinderers
:
So
that
if
you
would
conclude
amongest
your selues
,
of
a
sufficient
stocke
,
and
be
armed
with
a
bancke
,
the
ground
of
merchandizing
,
to
follow
resolutely
your
vndertaken
enterprize
,
For
so
much
as
to
mee
belongeth
,
I
dare
affirme
,
you
are
vpon
the
most
promisingst
occasion
,
that
euer
in
our
little
Iland
was
vndertaken
,
most
especiall
considering
by
how
smal
a
charge
it
may
be
perfected
wherin
as
experience
hath
made
me
the
Writer
,
to
a●quaint
you
with
each
particular
,
So
likewise
I
●●fe●
my selfe
vp
,
both
with
my
life
and
fortunes
,
●a●●
with
my
vtermost
indeuours
,
in
your
behalfes
,
(
by
Gods
especiall
blessing
)
to
bring
to
perfection
,
what
I
haue
heere
related
,
which
is
left
with
my selfe
,
to
your
worthy
considerations
.
