There

pledge
,
whose
name
was
Patrone
Norado
,
who
the
yeare
before
had
doone

some
pleasure
there
.
The
foresaid
Patrone
Norado
was
indebted
vnto
a
Turke
of
that
Towne
,
in
the
summe
of
foure
hundred
and
fiftie
crownes
,
for
certeine
goods
sent

,
and
himselfe
remained

Tripolie
as

,
vntill
his

brothers
returne
:
and
as
the
reporte
went
there
,
that
after
his
brothers
arriuall
into
Christendome
,
hee
came
among
lewde
companie
,
Patrone
Norado
being
voide
of
all
hope
,
and
finding
nowe
opportunitie
,
consulted
with
the
said
Sonnings
for
to
swimme
a seaboord
the
Ilands
,
and
the
Ship
being
then
out
of
danger
,
should
take
him
in
,
as
after
was
confessed
,
and
so
to
goe
to
Tallowne
in
the
prouince
of
Massillins
,
with
this
Patrone
Norado
,
and
there
to
take
in
the
rest
of
his
lading
.
The
Ship
being
readie
the
first
daie
of
Maie
,
and
hauing
hir
Sailes
all
abroad
,
our
said
Factors
did
take
their
leaue
of
the
King
,
who
verie
courteouslie
bid
them
farewell
,
and
when
they
came
aboord
,
they
commanded
the
Maister
and
the
companie
hastelie
to
get
out
the
Ship
:
the
Maister
answered
that
it
was
vnpossible
,
for
that
the
winde
was
contrarie
and
ouerblowed
.
And
hee
required
vs
vpon
forfeiture
of
our
bands
,
that
we
should
doo
our
indeuour
to
get
hir
foorth
,
then
went
we
to
warpe
out
the
Ship
,
and
presentlie
the
king
sent
a
bote
aboord
of
vs
,
with
thrée
men
in
hir
,
commanding
the
said
Sonnings
to
come
a
shore
:
at
whose
comming
,
the
King
demanded
of
him
custome
for
the
Oiles
,
Patrone
Norado
.
The
companie
inquisitiue
to
know
what
man
that
was
,
Nowe
the
Turke
vnto
whome
this
Patrone
Norado
was
indebted
,
missing
him
,
supposed
him
to
be
aboord
of
our
Ship
,
and
presentlie
went
vnto
the
King
,
and
told
him
that
he
thought
that
his
pledge
Patrone
Norado
was
aboord
of
the
English
Ship
,
wherevpon
the
King
presentlie
sent
a
bote
aboord
of
vs
,
with
thrée
men
in
hir
,
commanding
the
said
Sonnings
to
come
a
shore
,
and
not
speaking
anie
thing
as
touching
the
man
,
he
said
that
he
would
come
presentlie
in
his
owne
bote
,
but
assoone
as
they
were
gone
,
hee
willed
vs
to
warpe
foorth
the
Ship
,
and
said
that
hee
woulde
sée
the
knaues
hanged
before
he
would
goe
a
shore
.
And
when
the
King
saw
that
hee
came
not
a
shore
,
but
still
continued
warping
awaie
the
Ship
,
he
straight
commanded
the
Gunner
of
the
Bulwarke
next
vnto
vs
,
to
shoote
thrée
shootes
without
ball
.
Then
we
came
all
to
the
said
Sonnings
,
and
asked
of
him
what
the
matter
was
,
that
we
were
shot
at
,
he
said
that
it
was
the
Ienezaries
would
haue
the
oile
a
shore
againe
,
and
willed
vs
to
make
hast
awaie
,
Then
our
marchants
séeing
no
remedie
,
they
together
with
fiue
of
our
companie
went
a
shore
,
and
then
they
ceased
shooting
,
they
shot
vnto
vs
in
the
whole
nine
and
thirtie
shootes
,
without
the
hurt
of
anie
man
.
And
when
our
marchants
came
a
shore
,
the
king
commanded
presentlie
that
they
with
the
rest
of
our
companie
,
that
were
with
them
should
be
cheined
foure
and
foure
,
to
a
hundred
waight
of
iron
,
And
the
second
daie
of
the
same
moneth
,
the
King
with
all
his
counsell
sat
in
iudgement
vpon
vs
.
The
first
that
were
had
foorth
to
be
reigned
,
Romaine
Sonnings
answered
,
that
though
he
were
King
a
shore
,
and
might
command
there
,
so
was
hee
as
touching
those
that
were
vnder
him
:
Romaine
Sonnings
should
be
hanged
ouer
the
Northenest
Bulwarke
,
from
whence
hee
conueied
the
forenamed
Patrone
Norado
,
and
then
hee
called
for
our
Maister
Andrew
Dier
,
and
vsed
fewe
woordes
to
him
,
and
so
condemned
him
to
bee
hanged
ouer
the
walles
of
the
Westermost
Bulwarke
.
Then
fell
our
other
Factor
(
named
Richard
Skegs
)
vpon
his
knées
before
the
King
,
and
said
,
I
beséeche
your
highnesse
either
to
pardon
our
Maister
,
or
else
suffer
me
to
die
for
him
,
for
hee
is
ignorant
of
this
cause
.
And
then
the
people
of
that
countrie
fauouring
the
saide
Richard
Skegs
,
besought
the
King
to
pardon
them
bothe
.
So
then
the
King
spake
these
wordes
:
Beholde
for
thy
sake
I
pardon
the
Maister
.
Then
presentlie
the
Turkes
shouted
,
and
cried
,
saieng
:
Awaie
with
the
Maister
from
the
presence
of
the
King
.
And
then
hee
came
into
the
Banio
where
as
wee
were
,
and
tolde
vs
what
had
happened
,
and
wee
all
reioised
at
the
good
happe
of
maister
Skegges
,
that
hée
was
saued
,
and
our
Maister
for
his
sake
.
But
afterwarde
our
ioye
was
turned
to
double
sorrowe
,
for
in
the
meane
time
the
Kings
minde
was
altered
,
for
that
one
of
his
Counsell
had
aduised
him
,
that
vnlesse
the
Maister
died
also
,
by
the
lawe
they
could
not
confiscate
the
Shippe
nor
goods
,
neither
captiue
anie
of
the
men
,
wherevpon
the
King
sent
for
our
Maister
againe
,
And
when
that
Romaine
Sonnings
sawe
no
remedie
but
that
he
should
dye
,
bee
protested
to
turne
Turke
,
Patrone
Norado
,
whereas
before
hee
had
libertie
,
and
did
nothing
,
hee
then
was
condemned
slaue
perpetuall
,
except
there
were
paiment
made
of
the
foresaid
summe
of
monie
.
Then
the
King
condempned
all
vs
,
who
were
in
number
sixe
and
twentie
,
of
the
which
,
two
were
hanged
as
you
haue
heard
,
The
Gallie
of
Tripolie
tooke
a
Greekish
Carmosall
.
The
Turkes
build
a
church
The
Englishmen
put
to
all
kind
of
slauerie
.
Some
to
hew
stones
.
Some
to
draw
stores
.
Some
to
draw
timber
.
Some
to
draw
Ordinance
.
The
countrie
rebelled
against
the
king
.
and
lost
but
two
of
our
men
in
that
fight
,
but
there
were
slaine
of
the
Greekes
fiue
,
and
fourteen
were
cruellie
hurt
,
and
they
that
were
sound
,
were
presentlie
made
slaues
,
and
cheined
to
the
oares
:
and
within
fiftéene
daies
after
we
returned
againe
into
Tripolie
,
and
then
we
were
put
to
all
manner
of
slauerie
,
I
was
put
to
hew
stones
,
and
other
to
carrie
stones
,
and
some
to
draw
the
Carte
with
earth
,
and
some
to
make
morter
,
&
some
to
draw
stones
(
for
at
that
time
the
Turkes
builded
a
Church
:
)
and
thus
we
were
put
to
al
kind
of
slauerie
that
was
to
bée
done
,
and
in
the
time
of
our
béeing
there
,
the
Moores
that
are
the
Husbandmen
of
the
countrey
rebelled
against
the
King
,
because
he
would
haue
constrained
them
to
paye
greater
tribute
then
heretofore
they
had
doone
,
so
that
the
souldiors
of
Tripolie
marched
foorth
of
the
towne
to
haue
ioined
battell
against
the
Moores
for
their
rebellion
,
and
the

which
were
drawne
by
the
captiues
twentie
miles
into

after
them
,
and
at
the
sight
thereof
the
Moores
fled
,
and
then
the
captaines
returned
backe
againe
.
Then
I
and
ninetéene
Christians
more
,
were
sent
twelue
miles
into
the
countrie
with
a
cart
to
lode
timber

more
of
his
companie
,
which
ran
awaie
from
Tripolie
in

and
came
in

,
which
lieth
fortie
leagues
from

North
,
and
being

,
and
verie
faire

one
of
their

said
,
In

&
vnderstanding
that

sonne
,
this
boy
did
run
a
shore
,
&
voluntarilie
turned
Turke
.
Shortlie
after
the
kings
sone
came
to
Tripolie
to
visit
his
father
,
&
séeing
our
companie
,
he
greatlie
fancied
Rich.
Burges
our
pursser
,
&
Iames
Smith
,
they
were
both
yoong
men
,
therfore
he
was
verie
desirous
to
haue
them
to
turne
Turke
,
but
they
wold
not
yéeld
to
his
desire
,
saieng
:
we
are
your
fathers
slaues
,
&
as
slaues
we
will
serue

:
then
his
father
the
king
sent
for
them
,
&
asked
them
if
they
would
turne
Turke
,
&
they
said
:
If

,
christians
we

,
&
so
we
will
remaine
,
&
beséeched
the
king
that
they
might
not
be
inforced
thervnto
.
The
king
had
there
before
in
his
house
,
a
son
of
a
yeoman
of
our
Queenes
guard
,
Iohn
Nelson

him
the

caused

,
and
then
said
vnto
them
:
will
not
you
beare
this
your
countriman
companie
,
and
be
Turke
as
he

and
they
said
,
that
they
would
not
yéeld
therevnto
during
life
:
but
it
sell
out
,
that
within
a
moneth
after
,
the
Kinges
sonne
went
home
to
Ierbbïe
againe
,
being
sixe
score
miles

Tripolie
,
and
caried
our
two
foresaid
yoong
men
with
him
,
which
were
Richard
Burges
and
Iames
Smith
:
and
after
their
departure
from

,
they
sent
vs
a
letter
,
signifieng
that
there
was
no
violence
shewed
vnto
them
as
not
,
but
within
thrée
daies
after
they

violentlie
vsed
,
for
that
the
kings
sonne
demanded
of

againe
if
that
they
would
turne
Turke
:
Richard
Burges
,
a
Christian
I
am

and
so
I
will

Then
the
Kinges
sonne
verie
angerlie
said
vnto
him
:
by
Mahommet
thou
shalt
presentlie
be
made
Turke
.
Then
called
he
for
his
men
,
and
commanded
them
to
make
him
Turke
,
and
they
did
so
,
and
circumcised
him
,
and
would
haue
had
him
speake
the
words
that
therevnto
belonged
,
but
he
answered
them
stoutlie
that
hée
would
not
:
and
although
they
had
put
on
him
the
habit
of
a
Turke
,
yet
said
hee
,
Christian
I
was
borne
and
so
I
will
remaine
,
though
you
force
me
to
doo
otherwise
.
And
then
he
