shippes
,
holding
their

,
the

The

of
May
,
hauing
past
Calis
,
with
an
East
wind
,
&
cleare
weather
,
in
the
euening
they
had
a
calme
,
then
the
Generall
cast
ancker
vnder
Swartnes
,
which
done
,
all
the
nauy
did
the
like
.
The
30.
of
May
,
hauing
hoysed
anker
,
they
set
sayle
with
a
North
Northwest
wind
,
keeping
vpon
the
coast
of
England
,
and
about
twelue
of
the
clock
,
they
passed
Beueside
,
the
wind
being
East
Northeast
,
they
holding
their
course
West
Southwest
,
being
close
weather
,
which
caused
the
Generall
to
sayle
Westward
,
the
better
to
haue
the
coast
of
England
in
sight
,
but
all
the
day
continued
close
weather
,
yet
in
the
euening
they
had
a
sight
of
Goutstaert
,
and
so
sayling
til
night
,
they
ankered
not
farre
from
Plimmouth
.
The
1.
of
Iune
early
in
the
morning
,
making
towards
land
,
about
sixe
of
the
clocke
they
arriued
at
Plimmouth
,
where
the
Generall
sent
a
Pinace
to
land
,
to
know
if
any
of
their
ships
had
arriued
there
,
because
certaine
of
them
had
sailed
out
of
the
Tassel
not
long
before
,
which
they
thought
to
haue
found
at
Plimmouth
:
but
not
finding
any
,
about
noone
they
set
saile
&
departed
,
holding
their
course
South
Southwest
:
&
about
euening
hauing
a
side
wind
,
they
sailed
West
Southwest
,
with
such
darke
&
close
weather
,
that
they
could
hardly
see
the
length
of
a
ship
from
them
,
which
caused
them
sometimes
to
shoot
off
muskets
,
somtimes
slings
,
to
let
the
other
ships
know
that
they
were
not
farre
from
them
,
that
they
should
not
separate
themselues
.
The
2.
of
Iune
,
hauing
a
calme
with
close
weather
,
they
met
al
together
,
and
holding
their
course
South
southwest
,
hauing
the
wind
East
Northeast
.
The
3.
of
Iune
,
still
hauing
an
East
Northeast
wind
,
they
sailed
very
slowly
sometimes
on
the
lee
,
sometimes
in
the
wind
,
to
stay
for
certaine
of
their
ships
that
were
somewhat
behind
,
and
in
the
end
being
all
together
,
the
Generall
held
his
course
South
southwest
,
all
the
Nauy
following
him
,
in
the
night
hauing
a
Southwest
wind
.
The
4.
of
Iune
,
the
General
put
forth
2.
flags
,
&
shot
off
two
peeces
,
for
a
signe
to
call
all
the
Captaines
&
Masters
,
to
come
aboord
of
his
ship
,
there
to
hold
a
Marshall
assembly
,
which
was
presently
performed
,
each
of
them
putting
foorth
their
boates
,
to
boord
him
,
hauing
as
then
past
Heyssant
about
ten
miles
,
with
a
Southwest
wind
,
running
South
southeast
:
and
in
the
euening
hauing
a
Southeast
wind
,
all
the
Nauy
held
their
course
South
southwest
.
The
5.
&
6.
of
Iune
,
it
was
calme
with
great
clappes
of
thunder
,
sailing
then
vnder
47.
degrees
.
The
7.
of
Iune
,
they
had
a
West
wind
,
whereupon
the
whole
Nauy
set
their
course
South
southwest
:
after
that
,
the
wind
comming
North
,
they
sailed
Southwest
,
yet
very
slowly
,
by
reason
that
some
of
the
ships
were
so
far
behind
,
that
they
could
hardly
be
discerned
,
whereupon
the
rest
of
the
ships
staied
for
them
:
at
the
same
time
the
Generall
made
an
order
for
the
diuision
of
their
meat
,
euery
6.
men
to
haue
among
them
5.
li.
of
bisquit
for
a
day
.
The
8.
of
Iune
,
still
hauing
a
West
wind
,
they
held
their
course
South
southwest
:
and
about
euening
the
wind
falling
somewhat
sharpe
,
the
whole
Nauy
woond
about
:
then
the
wind
comming
West
againe
,
they
were
constrained
to
abate
some
of
their
sayles
.
The
ninth
of
Iune
,
they
espied
the
coast
of
Galisia
,
as
then
hauing
a
North-west
wind
,
holding
their
course
South-west
,
and
about
three
of
the
clocke
in
the
after
noone
,
the
whole
nauie
hauing
turned
about
,
&
made
to
sea-ward
,
not
long
after
they
made
towards
the
land
again
:
but
being
too
low
from
La
Corougie
,
the
General
caused
the
whole
Nauie
to
put
to
sea
again
.
The
tenth
of
Iune
,
the
Nauie
sailing
again
towards
the
land
,
they
had
a
South-west
wind
,
and
in
the
euening
a
Northwest
wind
,
wherwith
they
sayled
west
,
being
not
far
from
the
land
.
The
eleuenth
of
Iune
,
earlie
in
the
morning
,
the
whole
Nauie
making
towards
the
shore
,
&
being
vnder
the
land
,
perceiuing
themselues
to
be
as
high
as
the
Corougie
,
they
set
their
course
West
South-west
,
the
wind
being
East
North-east
,
&
about
noone
came
before
the
Corougie
:
where
being
come
,
and
staying
for
three
of
their
ships
that
were
behind
,
which
were
the
ships
of
Cornelis
Claus
.
Captaine
Ians
.
and
a
Pinace
:
In
the
meane
time
they
made
all
the
preparation
they
could
,
and
about
one
of
the
clocke
spreading
all
their
sayles
,
they
put
into
the
heauen
,
all
together
casting
anker
,
very
neere
within
the
shot
of
the
town
:
wherupon
those
of
the
Corougie
shot
diuers
great
peeces
at
them
:
which
dangerous
ankering
the
nauie
well
perceiuing
,
and
finding
no
conuenient
place
to
land
their
men
,
about
5.
a
clocke
in
the
euening
they
hoysed
anker
:
which
the
town
perceiuing
,
began
to
shoot
more
fiercely
,
but
did
not
any
hurt
vnto
the
ships
.
The
ankers
being
vp
,
there
fell
such
a
calme
,
that
the
shippes
were
in
great
daunger
,
for
that
the
towne
shot
vpon
them
so
mightily
,
although
they
could
not
reach
them
,
and
the
shippes
by
reason
of
the
calme
,
not
well
to
be
stered
,
that
they
had
much
paine
and
labour
to
hold
them
from
the
land
,
and
the
towne
shot
so
mightily
,
that
in
a
short
space
they
had
shotte
at
the
least
aboue
two
hundred
and
thirtie
shot
,
and
yet
could
they
not
reach
the
ships
,
although
it
seemed
vnpossible
,
for
that
the
ships
,
by
reason
of
the
calme
,
were
driuen
so
neere
vnder
the
towne
,
that
they
might
haue
shot
into
them
with
a
musket
:
and
the
Generals
ship
was
driuen
so
neere
to
the
towne
,
that
Captaine
Rem
Euarts
,
and
brother
Ianson
,
with
their
Pinnaces
were
forced
to
go
and
help
him
:
yet
in
the
end
with
great
danger
the
whole
Nauy
got
to
Sea
.
The
12.
of
Iune
,
in
the

being
somewhat
distant
from
the

,
the

.
The

of
Iune
,
in

Finisterre
,
they
had
a
Northeast

.
The
14.
of
Iune
,
hauing
a

Northwind
,
they
held
their
course
South
,
and
South
&
by
East
,
and
the
wind
continuing
,
in
the
euening
they
tooke
in
all
their
sayles
,
letting
the
ships
driue
before
the
wind
without
sailes
.
The
15.
of
Iune
,
the
wind
lessening
,
they
began
to
hoyse
sailes
,
holding
their

Southeast
,
&
the

still
continuing

,
about
9.
of
the
clocke
in
the
morning
,
they
discried
cape
Roxent
,
&
therewith
they
made
towards
the
land
,
purposing
to
do
some
exploit
vpon
Lisbon
,
but
in
the
euening
,
the
whole
Nauy

&
about

,
the

Garbrants
.
put
forth
a
flagge
in
his
sterne
,
desiring
to
haue
certaine
Pinnaces
,
that
were
vnder
his
quarter
,
to
come
on
board
of
his
ship
:
but
none
went
aboard
,
but
kept
with
the
whole
fleet
to
Leeward
.
The
17.
of
Iune
,
hauing
a
West
wind
,
they
set
their
course
South
Southwest
,
and
about
euening
they
perceiued
among
their
fleet
a
straunge
ship
,
&
a
barke
with
three
bases
,
wherupon
presently
the
Generall
commaunded
4.
of
the
best

of

in
the
whole

hauing
taken
them
,
brought
them
before
the
General
,
who
hauing
spoken
with
them
,
in
the
end
they
departed
friendly
from
each
other
,
for
it
was
an
Englishman
.
About
that
time
Captaine
Caters
ship
lost
the
fleete
,
by
reason
that
the
fleete
in
the
night
time
changed
their
course
,
and
woond
about
.
The

his
accustomed

The
23.
of
Iune
,
hauing

they
held
their

then
they

The

,
that
the
Island
seemed
to
be
compassed
about
with
fire
:
during
the
which
shooting
,
the
souldiours
were
put
into
small
boates
,
and
so
rowed
to
land
.
The
Spaniards
vpon
the
downes
neere
the
shore
,
had
certaine
bases
,
wherewith
they
shot
hard
vpon
the
Hollanders
boates
,
at
their
entring
vpon
the
land
,
but
the
Hollanders
stayed
with
their
boates
,
being
readie
to
land
:
for
it
was
so
appoynted
,
that
not
any
man
should
seeme
to
set
foote
on
land
,
but
must
stay
hard
by
the
Generall
:
also
that
not
any
of
them
should
spread
any
colours
,
before
hee
should
bee
landed
,
and
yet
they
must
not
doe
it
,
before
the
Generall
should
bee
on
shore
,
who
onely
had
an
ensigne
in
his
Pinnace
.
Those
of
Zealand
and
North-Holland
were
appointed
to
land
towardes
the
Towne
,
and
those
of
Amsterdam
,
and
of
the
Maze
,
towards
the
Castle
,
and
all
at
one
time
.
The
Castle
perceiuing
so
many
boates
manned
,
beganne
to
shoote
slowly
,
for
that
the
Captaine
of
the
Castle
made
his
souldiours
beleeue
,
that
they
had
not
aboue
halfe
a
barrell
of
powder
left
,
whereupon
they
left
off
shooting
:
whereat
the
Spaniards
that
lay
in
the
downes
,
beganne
to
flie
,
and
then
all
the
boates
that
lay
ready
manned
,
rowed
to
land
.
First
the
Generalles
boate
:
which
being
close
by
the
shore
,
the
Spaniards
perceiuing
,
to
(
let
him
from
landing
)
skipped
into
the
water
vp
to
the
chin
,
against
the
Generals
boate
,
and
fought
so
boldly
with
the
Hollanders
,
that
the
Generall
himselfe
standing
valiantly
in
the
boate
fighting
,
and
ready
to
leape
on
the
shore
,
was
in
the
end
forced
to
returne
,
and
the
Spaniards
made
so
hot
an
assault
,
that
a
Captaine
standing
by
the
Generall
,
was
thrust
into
the
arme
,
but
diuers
of
the
Spaniards
were
shot
,
so
that
in
the
end
not
many
remained
to
make
resistance
.
With
that
the
Generall
valiantly
leaped
into
the
water
vp
to
the
middle
:
and
after
him
followed
Albert
Iansen
Cox
ensigne
,
who
hauing
spred
his
colours
,
all
the
rest
of
the
boates
rowed
to
land
,
hauing
giuen
a
great
vale
of
shotte
against
the
Castle
.
The
souldiours
being
landed
,
and
standing
in
order
of
battaile
,
being
about
foure
thousand
men
,
the
Generall
caused
Dammas
Verloo
,
one
that
could
speake
good
Spanish
,
to
aske
them
of
the
Castle
,
if
they
would
yeelde
it
vp
:
and
hauing
parled
for
the
space
of
an
houre
,
in
the
meane
time
the
Generall
sette
vp
a
vane
vpon
a
pike
,
to
warne
the
shippes
not
to
shoote
against
the
Castle
;
which
shooting
presently
ceased
:
and
being
in
parle
,
in
the
end
they
of
the
Castle
agreed
to
deliuer
it
vp
,
vpon
condition
,
that
the
Spaniards
should
depart
without
any
armes
,
which
was
presently
done
.
In
the
which
Castle
the
Generall
placed
Captaine
Iohn
Allerts
.
of
Amsterdam
,
who
entring
into
it
,
found
therein
fifteene
great
brasse
peeces
,
and
sixe
Iron
peeces
,
well
prouided
with
powder
and
munition
,
being
so
strong
,
that
in
a
manner
it
was
impregnable
:
the
walks
beeing
at
the
least
thirtie
foote
thicke
.
Captaine
Iohn
Allerts
.
with
his
companie
being
placed
therin
,
and
the
Spaniards
to
the
number
of
sixtie
persons
gone
out
,
the
Hollanders
souldiours
being
about
foure
thousand
strong
,
marched
towardes
the
towne
:
but
by
the
way
,
being
come
to
a
valley
not
aboue
a
quarter
of
a
mile
from
the
towne
,
they
stayed
all
night
vntill
the
morning
:
in
the
meane
time
diuers
companies
of
the
souldiours
marched
to
the
towne
,
&
went
so
close
vnder
the
walles
,
that
they
spent
the
whole
night
in
skirmishing
with
the
enemie
,
specially
the
company
of
Dammas
Verloo
,
where
hee
lost
many
of
his
men
.
The
twentie
seuenth
of
Iune
,
in
the
morning
,
their
ensignes
wauing
in
the
wind
,
they
marched
towards
the
towne
:
but
being
within
Cannon
shot
of
the
Castle
,
that
stood
before
the
towne
,
the
Castle
shot
mightily
vpon
the
Hollanders
,
and
spoyled
many
of
their
men
,
for
they
could
not
faile
one
shotte
:
for
although
they
could
hardly
see
the
Hollanders
,
yet
they
shotte
at
the
ensignes
:
whereby
the
Hollanders
were
constrained
to
march
somewhat
aside
to
shunne
their
shot
:
which
was
easie
to
be
done
,
being
round
about
compassed
with
downes
:
but
the
souldiours
stayed
close
vnder
the
walles
of
the
towne
,
where
they
stood
out
of
danger
of
the
enemies
shotte
,
for
that
the
downes
were
so
great
,
that
they
might
easily
defend
themselues
from
the
shot
.
The
Hollanders
in
that
sort
keeping
themselues
close
,
the
enemie
supposed
that
they
were
in
minde
to
retire
backe
againe
;
so
that
beeing
before
fled
out
of
the
Towne
,
they
returned
into
it
againe
,
(
as
it
was
certified
vnto
the
Hollanders
)
to
resist
them
,
and
to
that
end
placed
Ordinance
vpon
the
hil
,
that
lay
vpon
the
right
hand
of
the
way
vnto
the
shore
,
wherewith
they
did
much
hurt
vnto
the
Hollanders
,
for
that
from
the
sayd
hill
they
shot
many
of
their
men
,
and
likewise
shotte
mightily
from
the
Castle
with
diuers
woodden
bullets
,
which
did
much
mischiefe
.
The
Generall
perceiuing
no
meanes
to
winne
the
Towne
,
vnlesse
some
great
shotte
were
planted
before
it
(
for
they
from
the
hill
shotte
so
hard
,
as
also
from
the
Castle
,
who
for
the
want
of
Iron
bullets
,
shotte
bullets
of
Tinne
and
Lead
,
that
no
good
on
his
side
could
bee
done
)
vsed
all
the
speede
that
might
bee
,
to
plant
a
batterie
,
and
to
place
Ordinance
before
the
Towne
.
Whereupon
sending
for
the
great
peeces
that
lay
in
the
Castle
that
Captaine
Iohn
Allerts
.
kept
,
placed
as
many
of
them
as
they
could
before
the
Towne
,
not
without
very
great
labour
and
paine
:
for
that
many
times
the
peeces
beeing
drawne
halfe
way
forward
,
brake
their
carriages
,
whereby
that
day
they
could
bring
but
three
peeces
before
the
Towne
,
whereof
two
were
appoynted
to
shoote
towards
the
hill
,
and
therewith
,
(
although
very
high
to
shoote
vp
)
draue
the
Spaniards
to
such
a
poynt
,
that
they
left
shooting
,
not
daring
to
stand
close
together
,
as
they
did
before
the
Hollanders
planted
their
Ordinance
:
and
when
the
Hollanders
were
drawing
the
peeces
towardes
the
towne
,
many
times
shot
some
of
their
men
.
The
Hollanders
,
hauing
shot
eight
times
,
did
likewise
cease
;
meane
time
preparing
their
batterie
,
in
the
night
placing
two
Demie
Cannons
among
their
batterie
:
but
in
the
meane
time
the
Spaniards
conuayed
all
their
goods
and
treasure
out
of
the
town
,
not
many
men
remaining
within
it
,
perceiuing
that
the
Hollanders
minded
to
winne
it
by
force
;
so
that
they
conueyed
all
their
goods
vpon
the
hilles
.
The
twentie
eight
of
Iune
,
earlie
in
the
morning
,
the
two
demy
Cannons
being
placed
in
batterie
against
the
Castle
,
Captaine
Rem
Euartson
was
appoynted
with
his
shippe
to
sayle
before
the
Towne
,
and
to
shoote
at
it
,
and
they
on
land
battered
the
Castle
,
with
two
peeces
of
Artillerie
.
Meane
time
there
were
three
demy
Cannons
more
placed
in
batterie
,
which
were
likewise
appoynted
to
batter
the
Castle
,
so
that
as
then
they
beat
it
with
fiue
peeces
together
.
Then
they
sent
two
companies
of
souldiours
vpon
the
hill
,
who
as
then
had
a
right
path
vnto
the
towne
,
the
one
being
the
companie
of
Monsieur
Meerkercke
,
the
other
of
Coronell
Stoem
,
the
companie
of
Damas
Verloo
compassing
beneath
about
the
foote
of
the
hill
.
In
this
sort
the
Generall
battered
the
Castle
with
fiue
peeces
,
so
that
in
the
end
the
Spaniards
within
the
Castle
forsooke
it
,
and
fled
,
after
that
the
Hollanders
had
discharged
fortie
foure
times
vpon
it
:
which
the
Generall
perceiuing
,
presently
sent
a
companie
of
men
into
it
,
and
withall
sette
fire
vpon
the
Towne
gate
,
thereby
to
make
passage
for
the
Souldiours
to
enter
:
but
while
the
gate
burnt
,
the
Saylors
could
by
no
meanes
enter
into
the
Towne
.
But
the
two
companies
of
Souldiours
that
went
vp
the
hill
,
had
a
right
path
vnto
the
Towne
,
as
also
the
companie
of
Damas
Verloo
,
that
compassed
about
the
foote
of
the
hill
:
but
the
Saylors
could
not
enter
before
the
fire
was
ceassed
and
the
gate
emptied
,
for
that
the
Spaniards
had
filled
the
gate
with
stones
vp
to
the
middle
:
but
the
Generall
behaued
himselfe
so
valiantly
,
that
hee
caused
certaine
companies
with
lathers
to
scale
the
walles
,
he
himselfe
in
person
entering
with
them
:
in
the
meane
time
,
the
three
companies
from
the
hill
with
their
colours
displaid
,
marched
towards
the
towne
,
and
entering
,
went
into
the
market
place
,
where
they
stayed
to
see
if
any
resistance
would
be
made
.
The
fire
at
the
gate
being
quenched
,
and
the
stones
borne
away
,
the
troupe
of
Amsterdam
were
appointed
to
bring
4.
demy
Cannons
into
the
towne
,
which
they
must
do
before
that
any
of
them
should
enter
;
which
was
speedily
performed
,
euery
man
being
very
diligent
to
worke
,
that
they
might
enter
into
the
towne
,
hoping
to
get
great
riches
,
each
man
thinking
to
do
his
best
,
but
all
in
vayne
,
for
the
Spaniards
had
conuayed
all
their
goods
out
of
the
towne
.
While
the
Demy
cannons
were
drawing
into
the
towne
,
there
came
a
Saylor
being
of
Flushing
,
out
of
the
towne
,
who
for
the
space
of
fiue
yeeres
had
beene
kept
therein
the
holy
house
,
who
perceiuing
Cornelis
Leinsen
Admirall
of
the
Zealand
ships
,
and
for
that
he
knew
him
,
he
fel
downe
at
his
feet
,
calling
him
his
deliuerer
(
next
vnder
God
)
out
of
prison
,
wherein
he
had
remained
for
the
space
of
5.
yeeres
:
which
done
,
hee
was
led
before
the
Generall
.
The
company
of
Soldiers
being
entred
into
the
Castle
,
they
found
in
it
5.
great
peeces
of
ordinaunce
.
The
ordinance
being
brought
into
the
towne
,
&
the
troupe
of
Amsterdam
,
whose
Coronell
was
Cornelis
Remmisen
,
hauing
vnder
him
3.
companies
of
Saylors
,
being
entered
,
after
him
followed
the
troupe
of
Zealand
,
with
the
troupe
of
the
Maze
in
Holland
.
Whereof
one
part
being
entered
,
they
were
commaunded
to
stay
in
a
plaine
field
,
vntill
the
Generall
had
appointed
euery
man
his
quarter
:
wherby
it
was
very
late
,
before
the
Captaines
entered
into
their
quarters
,
where
they
found
the
houses
empty
,
except
it
were
here
and
there
some
women
:
for
the
Spaniards
were
all
fled
away
with
their
goods
.
The
29.
of
Iune
,
hauing
throughly
searched
throughout
the
towne
,
&
not
finding
any
man
,
the
General
caused
certain
companies
of
Souldiers
to
present
themselues
before
the
castle
that
stood
vpon
the
South
side
of
the
towne
,
&
to
sommon
them
to
yeeld
:
but
when
they
approched
it
,
they
found
no
man
within
it
.
Which
done
,
one
company
entred
,
wherein
they
left
20.
souldiers
,
and
in
it
they
found
3.
great
peeces
of
ordinance
,
but
all
stopped
with
nailes
,
stones
and
other
such
like
things
,
to
make
than
vnseruiceable
.
The
rest
of
the
companies
reentered
the
towne
.
This
castle
stood
about
the
length
of
a
Cannon
shot
southward
without
the
towne
,
being
very
strong
,
for
that
the
one
side
therof
stood
in
the
water
,
so
that
in
a
manner
it
was
inuincible
.
But
God
,
in
whose
power
all
conquests
consist
,
had
stricken
the
Spaniards
hearts
with
feare
,
for
it
was
not
wonne
by
force
:
for
assure
your selues
,
if
they
had
holden
the
first
castle
,
it
would
haue
beene
a
very
daungerous
way
to
haue
passed
to
the
towne
:
and
againe
the
castle
that
stood
vpon
the
strand
,
where
the
ships
entered
,
could
shoote
crossewise
one
from
the
other
,
so
that
not
any
man
could
haue
passed
without
great
danger
.
God
be
praised
for
this
victory
.
But
to
returne
againe
vnto
the
matter
,
the
company
of
souldiers
being
reentered
,
in
the
euening
the
Generall
sent
10.
saylors
of
Captaine
Harman
Michtels
.
company
,
&
10.
of
Captaine
Rem
Euarts
.
company
their
ensigne
,
being
lieutenant
of
the
said
captaine
Rem
Euarts
.
and
euery
night
they
were
releeued
,
for
that
they
lay
therein
in
great
daunger
,
because
the
Spaniards
might
easily
haue
hidden
themselues
in
the
vineyards
,
and
seing
conuenient
time
either
in
the
entry
or
issuing
of
the
Hollanders
,
might
haue
cut
them
off
.
For
that
(
as
it
is
said
before
)
the
castle
stood
a
Cannon
shot
from
the
towne
.
The
30.
of
Iune
,
there
was
a
parle
with
the
Spaniards
touching
the
ransoming
of
the
towne
,
or
els
to
suffer
it
to
be
burnt
:
the
Spaniard
would
giue
no
money
,
but
proffered
the
Generall
to
furnish
his
whole
Nauy
with
sufficient
wine
,
saying
that
they
had
no
money
,
wherewith
they
departed
for
that
time
,
not
effecting
any
thing
.
The
1.
of
Iuly
,
the
word
of
God
was
preached
within
the
towne
of
great
Canaria
,
in
S.
Annes
Church
,
where
there
assembled
great
numbers
of
saylors
&
souldiers
,
as
also
the
Generall
,
with
al
his
Marshal
counsell
&
other
Captaines
:
the
preachers
text
being
taken
out
of
the
103.
Psalm
,
the
people
singing
the
100.
Psalm
,
thanking
and
praising
God
for
the
victory
,
all
with
one
consent
calling
vpon
the
name
of
the
Lord
.
The
2.
of
Iuly
,
a
Marshall
court
was
holden
to
punish
two
malefactors
,
whose
sentence
was
to
be
hanged
.
The
3.
of
Iuly
,
the
malefactors
were
brought
forth
to
execution
,
&
being
in
the
market
place
,
one
of
them
had
his
pardon
,
the
other
was
hanged
:
at
the
same
time
there
was
a
small
murmuring
among
the
common
souldiers
,
being
desirous
to
chase
the
enemy
that
had
fled
vp
into
the
hilles
with
their
goods
,
yet
no
man
made
the
Generall
acquainted
therewith
.
This
murmuring
still
continuing
,
the
Generall

wherein
the

himselfe
sayled
,
being

.
But
vpon
deliberation
taken
,
answere
was
made
them
,
that
they
should

.
The
8.
of
Iuly
,
very
early
they
came
againe
vnto
the
Generall
,
shewing
him
that
the
principall
of

taken
their
prisoners
from
them
,
as
it
was
true
.
For
the
Spaniards
would
not
agree
to
any
ransome
.
Then
the
Spaniards
that
were
prisoners
,
being
about
60.
persons
,
were
deuided
into
diuers
ships
:
which
done
,

with
a

,
many

bestowed
their
time
in
lading
of
fresh

,
&
whersoeuer
they
went

,
burnt

the
South
end
of
great

,
hauing
calme
weather
,
and
variable
ayre
,
but
in
the
euening
they
had
a
stiffe
wind
out
of
the
Northeast
,
wherewith
they
held
their
course
West
Southwest
,
&
by
night
the
wind
being

,
they
were
constrained
to

&
to
runne

,
holding
their
course
to
Teneriffa
,
minding
to
do
some
exploite
vpon
Geracico
,
but
not
long
after
,
they
altered
their
mindes
.
The
11.
&
12.
of
Iuly
,
hauing
strange
&
hard
weather
,
they
vsed
all
the
meanes
they
could

.
The
13.
of
Iuly
,
hauing
calme
weather
,
they
yet
sought
to
get

Gommera
,
which
they
did
,
about

the
clocke
at
noone
:
with
that
the
Generall
put
forth
his
accustomed
token
,
to
call
all
the
Captaines
and
Masters
aboord
his
shippe
,
where
it
was
agreed
to
send
three
companies
of
souldiers
into
a
creeke
,
there
to
take
land
,
which
was
about
halfe
a
mile
from
the
towne
,
which
companies
should
march
ouer
the
hilles
,
&
they
in
the
meane
time
with
the
whole
Nauy
would
vse
all
the
diligence
they
could
to
get
before
the
towne
,
which
they
did
:
the
companies
being
gone
,
the
Nauy
made
towards
the
towne
,
where
being
come
,
they
prepared
themselues
to
land
the
souldiers
,
which
with
great
diligence
was
done
.
Now
lying
at
ancker
before
the
towne
,
presently
the
souldiers
and
saylers
were
put
into
the
small
boates
,
attending
a
signe
from
the
Generall
.
Then
the
Generall
putting
forth
his
colours
,
all
together
at
one
instant
they
rowed
to
shore
,
which
was
done
with
great
expedition
,
they
of
the
towne
not
once
making
any
resistance
:
but
as
they
of
Canaria
did
flee
vp
into
the
mountains
,
not
leauing
any
thing
behind
them
,
and
whatsoeuer
they
could
not
carry
,
they
hid
it
so
well
that
it
could
hardly
be
found
.
The
companies
of
souldiers
&
saylers
being
on
land
,
&
Sentinels
placed
,
the
3.
companies
that
were
sent
ouer
the
hilles
came
vnto
them
,
who
had
sent
20.
muskettiers
out
of
each
company
,
(
to
see
if
the
Spaniards
would
make
any
resistance
)
who
descending
downe
the
hill
,
perceiued
certaine
Asses
laden
by
the
Spaniards
,
which
they
made
after
,
thinking
to
get
a
good
prize
,
&
to
be
the
lighter
left
all
their
muskets
:
which
the
Spaniards
that
lay
hidden
in
the
vineyards
perceiuing
,
left
their
ambustadoes
,
and
comming
forth
slewe
them
all
:
in
this
ouerthrow
there
were
58.
slaine
,
who
being
dead
the
Spaniards
stripped
off
all
their
clothes
,
&
went
away
with
the
pray
.
In
the
meane
time
the
three
companies
hauing
lost
60.
or
at
the
least
58
men
,
entered
into
the
towne
.
The
14.
of
Iuly
,
by
great
labour
&
paines
taken
in
digging
,
the
Hollanders
found
8.
pipes
of
wine
within
the
ground
,
which
were
presently
laden
in
the
Captaines
ships
that
were
appointed
for
the
longer
viage
,
the
pipe
valued
at
7.
pound
Flemish
:
meane
time
many
of
the
saylers
brought
fresh
water
aboord
,
the
better
to
be
prouided
in
their
viage
.
The
15.
of
Iuly
,
being
yet
busied
to
lade
water
and
other
balast
,
they
found
two
Demy
cannons
,
which
the
Spaniards
had
buried
in
the
earth
.
The
16.
of
Iuly
,
in
the
morning
,
the
Generall
put
forth
his
accustomed
tokens
,
to
call
the
Captaines
&
Masters
aboord
his
ship
,
where
it
was
agreed
,
that
the
ships
appointed
for
the
longer
viage
,
should
be
prouided
as
need
required
,
and
that
they
should
take
out
of
the
ships
appointed
to
returne
againe
into
Holland
,
as
much
victuals
as
the
said
shippes
could
well
spare
:
which
was
done
,
and
presently
thereupon
laded
all
the
wheat
and
rie
out
of
the
one
ships
into
the
others
,
against

should
haue
neede
to
bake
it
,
for
the
preseruation
of
their
liues
,
if
the
viage
happened
to
be
long
.
It
was
also
concluded
,
that
all
the
companies
of
souldiers
should
marche
vp
the
hilles
,
to
chase
the
enemy
:
meane
time
the
saylers
should

The

the

,
to

.
the
Vice-admirall
Logier
Petersen
,
and
the

with

separated

from
the
rest
of
the

.
The

of
Iuly
,
holding
their
course
South
and
by

,
they
were
vnder
21.
degrees
.
The
26.
of
Iuly
,
they
held
their
course
South
and
by
west
,
with
little
winde
,
the
wind
being
North-east
and
by
east
,
with
a
good
pleasing
gale
.
The
27.
of
Iuly
,
the
allowance
of
bread
among
the
souldiours
was
abated
,
because
they
supposed
the
viage
would
be
longer
then
it
fell
out
.
The
28.29
.
and
30.
of
Iuly
,
their
course
beeing
South-west
,
and
by
West
,
the
wind
North-west
,
the
Captaines
and
Masters
went
all
aboord
the
Generals
ship
,
which
dayes
they
mist
the
shippes
of
Brother
Iansen
,
because
it
had
sayled
forward
,
and
the
rest
of
the
ships
changed
their
course
:
and
the
same
day
likewise
,
they
discryed
the
Island
of
Saint
Nicholas
,
being
from
them
South-west
and
by
west
.
The
31.
of
Iuly
in
the
morning
,
they
were
right
vnder
the
Island
,
and
had
almost
sayled
round
about
it
,
because
they
could
finde
no
anker
ground
,
so
that
they
lette
their
boates
sayle
close
vnder
the
Island
to
seeke
a
road
,
where
they
found
two
roades
,
wherein
all
the
shippes
might
lie
,
about
a
Coluerin
shot
distant
from
the
land
,
and
twelue
fadome
water
,
and
there
stood
three
houses
.
The
first
of
August
,
they
discryed
the
Island
of
Saint
Luce
,
distant
from
them
West
north-west
:
all
that
day
they
stayed
by
the
Island
of
Saint
Nicholas
,
and
with
their
Pinnaces
went
on
land
,
to
see
if
they
might
finde
fresh
water
for
their
Nauie
,
but
they
found
not
any
.
There
they
saw
verie
great
Torteauxes
,
whereof
they
tooke
one
that
weighed
almost
three
hundred
pound
.
The
same
day
all
the
Captaines
and
Masters
met
on
boord
the
Generall
,
to
take
counsell
whether
they
should
sayle
to
get
fresh
water
:
at
last
it
was
concluded
to
sayle
to
Isola
de
Maio
,
where
certain
of
their
shalops
went
on
land
for
fresh
water
:
but
by
reason
of
the
vnseasonable
heate
of
the
ground
,
they
lost
seuenteene
men
,
and
certaine
of
their
shalops
ouerturned
.
The
second
of
August
,
they
helde
their
course
South-east
and
by
east
,
with
a
calme
all
the
day
long
.
The
third
of
August
in
the
morning
,
they
discryed
the
Island
of
Saint
Iames
:
and
the
same
day
they
took
a
Torteaux
,
hauing
at
the
least
fiue
hundred
egges
in
her
belly
,
a
hundred
and
fiftie
of
them
hauing
shelles
,
the
rest
without
shelles
,
as
hennes
vse
to
haue
in
their
bodies
,
beeing
very
great
,
as
big
as
a
ball
of
a
stiuer
;
with
the
which
egges
they
made
tanseyes
,
which
tasted
very
well
:
of
the
flesh
of
the
Torteaux
,
they
made
hodge-podge
,
and
it
tasted
like
bacon
.
The
egges
that
were
shelled
,
had
shelles
like
winde-egges
,
wherewith
they
played
at
tennis
aboord
the
ships
,
which
rebounded
like
a
tennis
ball
,
and
you
must
strike
very
hard
with
them
before
they
would
breake
.
The
fourth
of
August
in
the
morning
they
made
towardes
the
land
,
and
about
noone
ankered
vnder
the
Island
de
Maio
,
where
Generall
went
on
shore
,
and
there
stayed
till
the
next
day
at
noone
.
The
fift
of
August
,
there
came
a
shippe
vnto
them
,
that
had
beene
vnder
fiue

Northward
of

and
was
constrayned

hauing
a

,
to
put

the
shore
with
them
,
beeing
a
Venetian

The
Captaines
name
was
Antonie
Bolorio
;
the
shippe
was
laden
at
Calis
Malis
,
with
wine
,
oyle
,
and
other
goods
:
which
shippe
and
goods
hee
auouched
to
bee
his
,
but
it
was
found
to
bee
contrarie
,
for
that
the
Marchant
beeing
a
Spaniard
,
was
there
present
,
meaning
to
sell
their
wares
at
Brasilia
,
so
that
both
the
goods
and
Marchant
were
found
good
prize
;
and
the
Captaine
with
his
shippe
and
thirtie
Pipes
of
wine
for
his
necessarie
prouision
,
let
depart
,
because
hee
was
a
Venetian
,
balasing
his
shippe
with
certaine
pipes
of
salt-water
.
The
same
day
they
sent
out
a
Pinnace
,
with
a
man
of
warre
,
beeing
of
Zealand
,
to
chase
a
shippe
that
they
espied
:
which
shippe
beeing
taken
,
was
found
to
bee
a
Portingall
,
laden
in
Porta
Port
,
with
wine
,
oyle
,
linnen-cloath
,
Silkes
and
Veluets
,
which
amounted
vnto
(
as
the
Captaine
of
the
saide
shippe
testified
vnto
them
)
20000
duckets
.
The
tenth
of
August
,
they
put
to
sea
againe
,
to
meete
the
Portingall
with
their
two
shippes
that
went
to
chase
him
,
for
that
the
prize
was
so
euill
of
sayle
,
that
it
could
not
make
to
them
,
but
by
night
both
shee
and
their
two
shippes
came
among
the
fleet
:
and
at
that
time
also
brother
Iansens
shippe
,
which
had
beene
missing
thirteene
dayes
,
came
likewise
to
the

The

,
they
returned

vnto
the

,
from
whence
the
day
before
they
had
departed
,
where
they
began
to
vnlade
their
prize
,
which
by
their
Marshal
court
was
found
lawfull
;
the
ship
and
goods
both
being
forfeit
:
the
ship
had
in
it
eight
Iron

.
The

there
boorded
them
foure

,
shewing

that
in
the

there
dwelt
no

but
foure
Moores

in

Island
were
very
faire
horses
,
that
ranne
about
the
country
,
and
great
hennes
,
that
went
as

and

:
they
are
commonly
taken

and
thousands
of

:
the

and

:
they
brought
likewise
a
ship
of
Marsellis
,
of
100.
tunnes
,
laden
with

and
oyle
.
The

two
Netherland

,
which
set

Weelings
,
hauing

,
where
they

,
about
three
small

at

where
,
vpon

was
their

,
who
stayed
alone

men
made

,
some

of
September
,
they
held
their
course
Eastward
,
not
to
be
discouered
by
those
of
the
Island
,
being
of
opinion
,
that
they
could
not
enter
into
the
roade
:
so
that
after
noone
,
they
sailed
by
the
shore
(
determining
to
land
)
to
the
Cape
de
Loupes
Gonsalues
,
and
so
to
come
againe
on
the
South

of
Saint
Thomas
,
for
that
the
roade
was
on
the
South
side
,
but
they
could
hardly
sayle
from
the
North

,
because
of

The

of
September
,
the
aire
being
very
thick
and
darke
,
as
if
some
great
tempest
would
haue
followed
,
as
the
aire
vseth
to
be
so
darke
about
the
line
,
which
neuer
could
be
found
otherwise
by
any
sayler
:
but
where
they
perceiue
a
darke
cloude
in
the
aire
,
presently
they
take
in
all
their
sayles
,
for
that
there
commeth
a
sodaine
and
terrible
blast
of
wind
,
thundering
and
lightning
,
which
continueth
for
the
space
of
2.
or
3.
houres
,
and
by

is
called

but
God

,
and
the

day
there
was
such
a
number
of
fishes
about
the
Admirals
ship
,
that
no
man
could
number
them
,
whereby
they
tooke
them
in
with
baskets
,
being
as
bigge
as
Smelts
,
and
after
them
followed
2.
or
3.
hundred
great
fishes
to
deuoure
them
:
whereby
there
rose
such
a
noyse
in
the
water
,
as
if
it
had
beene
a
tempest
:
yet
was
the
weather
very
faire
and
calme
:
but
there
ordinarily
the
sea
is
ful
of
fish
.
One
of
the
saylers
had
hanged
a
paire
of
breeches
ouer-boord
for
the
space
of
an

,
and
when

one

had
the

de
Loupes
Gonsalues
,
for
fresh

,
where
they
sayled
about
foure
miles
vp
into
the
Riuer
:
whereon
there
stood
a
great
village
,
which
with
their
pinnace
they
could
not
approach
,
by
reason
that
the
trees
stood
so
thicke
vpon
the
shore
:
and
as
the
Pinnace
sayled
forward
,
great
numbers
of
Monkies
leaped
in
,
and
about
it
;
at
the
last
they
shotte
off
a
musket
,
whereupon
presently
there

,
egges
,
and

the
Captaine

head
,
which
brought

presently
into
the
village
,
and
to
their
kings
house
,

they
found
sitting
making

sayd
)
he
onely
vsed
when
hee
meant
to

of
his

.
The

,
the
King
presently
layde
downe
his

and
sate
still
in
his
seate
verie
stoutly
,
after
their
maner
,
hauing
a
long
beard
with
diuers
rings
,
paynted
about
his
armes
,
and
about
his
eyes
of
diuers
colours
,
with
a
hatte
vpon
his
head
,
beeing
all
stucke
round
about
with
great
pinnes
,
in
maner
of
a
crown
,
in
such
sort
,
that
at
the
first
the
Hollanders
were
abashed
,
for
that
hee
seemed
like
a
diuell
:
behind
him
sat
two
of
his
wiues
,
the
one
all
black
,
the
other
all
red
painted
,
and
were
naked
,
onely
that
they
had
certaine
cloathes
about
their
priuities
.
Now
the
Hollanders
standing
before
the
King
,
the
King
spake
fiue
wordes
one
before
the
other
:
which
words
both
they
,
and
all
the
wilde
men
that
were
present
,
must
speake
after
him
:
but
the
Hollanders
vnderstood
not
what
they
meant
:
and
when
the
words
were
ended
,
they
all
together
clapt
their
hands
;
whereupon
the
Hollanders
had
free
libertie
to
goe
into
the
village
to
bartle
and
buy
what
they
would
.
They
brought
some
of
the
Hollanders
into
their
Temple
,
where
they
perceiued
a
very
old
blacke
leane
man
,
with
a
gray
beard
,
sitting
as
still
as
if
hee
had
beene
dead
,
at
whose
feete
the
wilde
men
fell
downe
,
for
they
held
him
for
a
great
Prophet
:
it
is
to
be
supposed
that
hee
was
a
south-sayer
,
and
that
hee
dealt
with
the
diuell
,
for
there
they
knew
not
what
God
is
:
when
it
lighteneth
&
thundereth
,
as
there
it
doth
very
sore
&
often
,
then
they
pray
vnto
their
Prophet
that
it
may
cease
:
for
their
opinion
is
,
that
as
then
the
diuel
tempteth
them
,
and
that
hee
is
supposed
to
bee
a
South-sayer
:
the
reason
was
,
for
that
one
of
the
Hollanders
had
lost
a
peece
of
linnen
,
about
tenne
elles
long
,
which
some
of
the
wilde
men
had
stolen
from
him
,
&
there
was
one
of
the
wilde
men
that
could
speak
Portingall
,
that
as
the
Hollanders
were
going
out
of
the
village
,
shewed
them
thereof
,
and
went
and
shewed
the
Captaine
:
whereupon
the
Captain
went
presently
backe
again
into
the
village
,
&
to
the
temple
,
where
he
vnderstood
who
had
stolen
it
,
so
that
he
brought
the
peece
of
linnen
to
them
againe
.
In
the
village
you
shall
not
finde
any
handi-crafts
men
,
but
onely
two
Smithes
,
which
made
nothing
else
,
but
heades
for
pikes
and
darts
,
for
there
the
wilde
men
make
great
warres
against
their
neighbours
:
euerie
seuen
or
eight
miles
they
haue
a
king
,
by
the
parting
of
certaine
riuers
within
the
land
.
The
women
of
this
village
seeme
to
be
very
desirous
of
the
company
of
white
men
,
as
it
appeared
at
the
Hollanders
departure
from
them
,
by
a
Gentelman
,
called
Lanscroen
,
who
being
compassed
about
by
many
of
the
women
,
euery
one
sought
to
haue
their
wil
of
him
:
but
he
not
being
willing
thereunto
,
got
away
from
them
.
The
17.
of
October
in
the
morning
,
they
saw
the
Island
of
S.
Thomas
being
Northwest
from
them
,
all
that
day
with
little
sayle
,
holding
Northwest
,
they
compassed
about
,
the
better
to
know
the
land
.
The
19.
of
October
in
the
morning
,
being
arriued
in
the
road
of
S.
Thomas
,
presently
the
Generall
landed
,
with
all
their
souldiers
,
and
at
their
landing
found
no
resistance
:
&
so
marching
orderly
towards
the
towne
,
they
met
a
company
of
men
comming
from
the
towne
,
who
for
the
space
of
an
hower
shot
at
them
,
but
the
Hollanders
lost
not
aboue
2.
or
3.
men
:
which
done
,
they
marched
forward
,
and
they
of
the
towne
fled
into
the
mountaines
,
so
that
the
Hollanders
were
presently
masters
of
the
towne
,
and
at
their
pleasures
laded
the
goods
which
they
found
there
,
into
their
shippes
.
The
same
day
,
Ellert
de
Ionghe
,
Captaine
of

,
in

of

,
&
the
General
,
summoned
the
castell
to

,
their
liues
saued
,
but
they
refused
the
condition
:
whereupon
the
said
Ellert
was
by
the
said
Generall
sent
againe
,
to
will
them
to
yeeld
vp
the
castle
vpon
the
aforesaid
conditions
,
or
if
they
refused
,
&
would
stay
the
planting
of
ordinance
(
which
was
ready
)
before
it
,
that
then
they
should
expect
nothing
but
death
.
Which
they
againe
denied
:
saying
,
that
they
had
taken
an
oth
vnto
the
King
,
so
that
they
could
not
so
lightly
yeeld
vp
such
a
castle
.
The
same
night
the
battery
was
prepared
,
and
by
day
two
peeces
of
ordinance
were
planted
,
which
they
of
the
castle
perceyuing
,
in
the
morning
put
forth
an
Ensigne
of
peace
,
desiring
that
two
of
their
men
might
speake
with
the
Generall
to
agree
with
him
about
the
deliuery
of
the
castle
,
which
was
graunted
them
,
each
party
meeting
:
meane
time
the
Hollanders
placed
seuen
peeces
to
batter
it
.
The
21.
of
Octob.
in
the
morning
,
by
agreement
made
,
the
castle
was
yeelded
vp
,
the

,
vpon

about
an

,
on
the
North

,
they
within
the
castle
being
afraid
,
fled
and
forsooke
it
,
wherin
they
found
three
brasse
peeces
,
which
castle
they
presently
manned
,
and
at
their
departure
threw
it
downe
.
The
23.
of

the

&

,
were
appointed
to

,
who
riding
vpon
two
horses
sent
them
by
the
enemy
,
presently
set
forward
,
for
it
was
the
enemies
desire
,
and
in
their
places
two
of
the
enemy
remained
as
pledges
:
and
being
in
the
land
they
found
a
troupe
of
about
600.
men
all
naked
,
with
peeces
on
their
shoulders
,
except
about
40.
Portingales
that
were
among
them
,
who
notwithstanding
shewed
to

.
In

Portingales
haue

and
he
is
but
a

&
it
was

,
hauing

&
within
3.
houres
after
returning
againe
to
make
report
vnto
the
Generall
of
their
proceedings
,
they
found
him
dead
:
for
that
when
they
spake
with
him
before
,
his
sicknes
was
no
other
but
a
kind
of
weaknes
,
which
had
continued
two
daies
,
yet
did
he
not
leaue
walking
and
standing
:
whereupon
hee
caused
himselfe
to
be
let
bloud
in
the
arme
,
which
being
done
,
&
feeling
himselfe
very
weake

said
vnto
those

,
This

,
and
about
midnight
brought

&
betweene
the

trees
there
is
continually
a

clowd

which
yeeldeth
so
much

that
it

The

answere
was
made
,
no
:
but
presently
God
sent
them
a

aboord
,
and
fell
close
by
them
as
they
sat
at
meat
,
being
as
great
as
a
common
Haddock
:
and
because
God
sent
them
the
fish
so
miraculously
,
therefore
they
commaunded
the
cooke
presently
to
broyle
it
:
and
before
it
was
washt
&
made
cleane
,
God

,
found
it selfe
alone
without
company
,
and
so
continewed
til
the
6.
of
February
,
when
it
found
an
Englishman
that
had
taken
a
barke
,
wherein
they
were
,
for
that
their
owne
ship
was
suncke
,
which
Englishman
for
the
space
of
sixe
dayes
before
,
had
had
no
drinke
,
so
that
the
Hollander
gaue
them
both
water
and
wine
.
The
tenth
day
the
ship
draue
in
great
danger
to
be
lost
,
if
God
had
not
holpen
it
.
The
14.
of
February
,
there
came
to
Plimmouth
the
shippe
called
the
Golden
Lion
,
wherein
died
III.
men
.
Eight
daies
after
,
the
Orange
tree
,
being
the
Generals
ship
,
arriued
there
,
hauing
cast
120.
of
150.
men
ouerboord
that
died
in
her
,
and
in
the
ship
were
but
6.
sound
men
,
the
rest
sicke
.
Being
in
England
,
the
Lion
and
the
Orange
tree
tooke
in
fresh
men
.
The
1.
of
March
,
the
ship
that
was
left
alone
,
went
to
sea
,
and
the
9.
of
the
same
moneth
it
arriued
in
the
Tassell
.
And
all
the
shippes
that
came
in
either
before
or
after
it
,
had
but
few
men
,
and
were
in
great
danger
.
Touching
the
great
death
of
men
that
happened
among
them
,
was
partly
that
there
is
a
great
heat
,
and
an
vnwholesome
aire
in
the
Island
of
Saint
Thomas
,
because
it
lieth
right
vnder
the
Equinoctiall
line
,
so
that
many
of
their
men
died
of
burning
feauers
,
through
the
heate
of
the
sunne
,
which
bred
great
paine
in
their
heads
,
so
that
in
three
or
foure
dayes
they
were
aliue
and
dead
,
which
is
there
called
la
Madorre
:
for
by
experience
they
found
in
one
that
died
sodainely
,
that
all
the
fat
in
his
belly
and
guts
was
wholly
molten
,
and
lay
at
the
bottome
of
his
belly
like
water
:
this
cutting
of
him
vp
was
done
,
because
diuers
of
their
men
complained
of
a
pain
in
their
bellies
:
some
of
them
going
and
standing
,
without
any
sicknesse
to
bee
perceiued
in
them
,
fell
out
of
their
wits
,
so
that
foure
men
had
sufficient
to
doe
to
hold
them
vntill
they
died
▪
this
madnesse
proceeded
from
the
heate
of
the
sunne
,
that
caused
the
braines
in
their
heads
to
stirre
or
moue
.
Many
died
with
eating
too
much
of
the
blacke
sugar
,
and
of
the
great
Palme-tree
nuts
,
which
haue
much
sweete
liquor
within
them
,
wherewith
they
drunke
themselues
giddie
,
and
thereby
got
a
loosenesse
in
their
bodies
,
as
also
by
the
blacke
sugar
,
whereof
presently
insued
the
bloudy
flix
,
so
that
many
died
of
that
disease
.
Many
also
spoyled
themselues
by
lying
naked
vpon
the
hatches
in
the
night
time
when
the
Moone
shined
(
to
coole
themselues
)
which
thereabouts
yeldeth
a
venimous
vnwholsome
aire
,
specially
when
men
sleepe
.
Some
vsed
the
companie
of
the
blacke
women
,
and
thereby
many
of
them
lost
their
liues
:
the
women
being
so
hot
of
nature
,
that
they
are
wholly
contrarie
to
the
nature
of
white
men
,
and
not
to
bee
esteemed
as
naturall
heate
:
let
an
inhabitant
therein
dwelling
haue
to
do
,
or
accompanie
with
one
of
their
women
,
(
although
she
be
a
white
woman
)
and
the
next
day
let
himselfe
bloud
,
hee
dyeth
without
fayle
,
although
he
were
a
King
.
Many
also
died
of
loosenesse
in
their
bodies
,
which
commonly
happeneth
by
long
viages
,
specially
,
when
they
were
halfe
seas
ouer
,
vnder
45.
and
46.
degrees
:
for
then
it
was
cold
,
such
as
were
sick
,
not
being
able
to
endure
it
:
for
there
they
had
a
side
winde
for
the
space
of
fiue
weekes
,
in
the
which
time
many
of
their
men
died
,
so
that
they
thinke
in
all
,
that
there
died
about
a
thousand
eight
hundred
men
,
of
loosenesse
in
their
bodies
,
when
they
were
in
the
height
aforesaid
,
being
vpon
the
sixt
of
Ianuarie
1600.
It
is
not
to
be
maruailed
at
,
that
they
lost
many
men
by
the
sicknesses
aforesaid
(
seeing
the
Portingals
themselues
doe
the
like
,
being
men
of
hotter
conplections
then
we
are
,
&
borne
vnder
a
warmer
climate
)
&
by
that
means
haue
lost
many
men
,
as
Americus
Vespucius
himselfe
witnesseth
,
who
not
onely
writeth
of
the
vnwholsome
ayre
of
this
Island
,
but
also
sayth
that
it
is
strange
,
that
a
man
of
Europa
should
be
found
in
that
place
with
gray
haires
,
or
beeing
aboue
fiftie
yeeres
of
age
.
The
Portingales
are
of
opinion
,
that
this
sicknesse
among
men
of
Europa
,
commeth
,
because
they
vse
to
drinke
often
to
coole
their
bodies
,
and
without
eating
,
and
specially
because
there
is
little
winde
,
whereby
the
ayre
is
more
infected
.
