the
wind
being
northerly
,
we
waied

,
and
sailed

with
73
ships
,
hauing
faire
weather
,
setting

.
Wee
had
3.
Admirals
in

whereof
the
chiefe

William
Derickson
Cloper
,
wherein
was
imbarked
the
honourable
gentleman
Peter
Van
Doest
being
generall
of
the

This

was
called
the

carying
in

a

of
Orange
colour
,
vnder

of
the
Maze
with
some
north
Hollanders
.
Thus
were
wee
deuided
into
sundry
squadrons
,
but
to
what
ende
it
was
so
done
,
it
is
to
me
,
and
many
others
vnknowne
.
Saturday
the
29.
of
Maie
,
hauing
sight
of
Callis
,
the
ships
lay
to
the
lee
ward
,
&
staied
for
the
rereward
.
The
Lord
generall
shot
off
a
peece
,
and
afterward
hung
out
the
princes
flag
,
in
signe
that
the
captains
shold
come
aboord
him
,
presently
al
the
captains
entred
into
their
boates
&
rowed
aboord
the
General
,
at
which
time
were
two
pinnaces
sent
out
of
the
fleet
,
whereof
one
was
the
Generals
Pinnace
,
but
vnto
what
place
they
sailed
,
wee
were
altogether
ignorant
.
And
when
the
boates
rowed
from
the
Generall
,
some
of
them
went
aboord
the
victualers
,
and
tooke
out
of
them
certaine
fire-workes
.
The
sunne
southwest
,
the
Generall
discharged
an
other
peece
of
ordinance
,
and
put
out
the
Princes
flag
,
wherevpon
presently
the
captaines
went
aboord
him
,
and
when
our
captaine
returned
,
he
had
in
his
hande
a
letter
closed
vp
,
which
hee
brought
from
the
Generall
,
and
wee
imagined
that
euery
captaine
had
receiued
the
like
,
and
then
wee
sailed
altogether
toward
the
higth
of
Blacknesse
,
where
wee
anchored
,
(
which
caused
vs
greatly
to
wonder
,
seeing
we
had
so
faire
a
wind
,
)
but
we
perceiued
afterwards
,
that
this
was
done
,
to
the
ende
we
should
there
abide
the
comming
of
the
great
new
ship
of
Amsterdam
;
for
the
soldiours
which
were
appointed
for
her
,
were
all
with
vs
in
a
ship
of
our
company
.
Sunday
,
the
30.
of
Maie
,
where
lying
at
anchor
al
that
night
,
the
next
morning
we
set
saile
altogether
hauing
the
winde
at
north
east
,
wee
set
our
course
west
north
west
,
the
weather
being
faire
.
The
same
morning
our
captain
read
vnto
vs
those
very
articles
which
before
had
bin
read
vnto
vs
in
the
prince
Mauritz
his
Court
,
and
afterwards
we
altogether
;
and
with
one
accord
were
sworne
to
the
keeping
of
them
:
At
noone
wee
were
neere
vnto
Beuersier
,
hauing
a
fine
gale
out
of
the
east
north

,
the
euening
was
calme
,
the
formost
shippes
slacked
their
sailes
,
attending
the
comming
in
of
the
hindermost
.
Wednesday
,
the
ninth
of
Iune
,
by
the
breake
of
daie
we
were
hard
vnder
the
coast
of
Spaine
neere
to
Viuero
,
the
winde
being

,
we
sailed
north
west
and
by

and
north
northwest
,
the
sunne

and
by

;
we
were
ouer
against
the
cape
Ortegael
,
we
sailed
north

and
by

,
to
fetch
the
wind
:
we
were
in
44.
degrees
20.
minuts
,
at

,
we
had
the
foresaid
Cape
of

about
5.
miles
south
west
and
by

Thursday
the
10.
of
Iune
,
the
winde
being
at
east
south

,
wee
directed
our
course
towardes
the
shore
,
and
might
certainly
discerne
that
it
was
the
Friday
,
the
11.
of
Iune
,
at
the
breake
of
day
the
winde
being
at
north
east
and
by

,
sixe
of
our
ships
sailed
forwarde
south
southwest
,
meaning
to
enter
the
Groine
,
and
there
to
learne
how
al
things
stood
.
The
sunne
being
southeast
,
Cape
Prior
was
east
from
vs
,
wee
bare
south
,
presently
after
we
spied
two
boates
comming
out
of
Veroll
to
learn
what
ships
we
were
,
the
rather
because
that
the
day
before
they
had
seene
our
fleete
at
sea
:
we
sailed
by
the
wind
,
and
lay
in
the
wind
to
stay
for
their
comming
.
The
one
doubting
vs
woulde
not
come
neere
vs
,
the
other
boat
also
durst
not
approch
neere
vs
:
wee
called
to
one
of
the
Spaniardes
,
saying
wee
came
from
Hamborch
laden
with
cordage
&
other
goods
,
desiring
and
praying
him
to
let
vs
haue
a
Pilot
to
bring
vs
into
the
Groine
,
wherewith
the
boate
came
aboord
vs
,
so
that
by
our
great
haste
and
policie
we
got
one
Spaniard
,
the
other
which
remained
in
the
boate
would
not
come
into
our
ship
,
but
presently
thrust
off
their
boate
,
making
all
possible
speede
to
get
from
vs
.
Hauing
nowe
gotten
this
Spaniarde
,
hee
was
presently
deliuered
into
the
handes
of
the
Generall
,
who
confessed
that
there
were
about
4000.

for
we

not
that
they
touched
any

ship
more
then

,
which
was
greatly
to
bee
wondered
at

The
Lord
Generall
worthy
of
al
praise
,
wisely
bethinking
himselfe
,
caused
all
his
captaines

to

what

bee
found

to
inuade
the
towne
and

but
they
concluded
,
not
to
meddle
with

reason
of

calme
,
wee
were
constrained
to
towe
out
our
ships
with
the
boates
in
dispite
of
al
their
shot

thus
we
parted
from
the

without

effecting
of
any
thing
,
leauing

of

&
the

which
could
not
discharge
their
ordenance
against
the
castle
,
bent
them
against
the
shore
,
(
for
the
enemy
had
three
brasse
peeces
lying
vpon
the
strand
)
and
many
people
were
there
gathered
together
where
our
souldiours
shoulde
land
.
Nowe
as
soone
as
the
Generall
with
the
most
parte
of
the
long
boates
were
come
together
,
they
all
at
one
instant
rowed
toward
the
shore
,
maintaining
for
a
while
the
fight
on
both
sides
with
their
shot
.
But
the
General
perceiuing
that
the
enemie
woulde
not
abandon
the
place
,
with
a
valiant
courage
made
to
the
shore
,
and
altogether
leaping
into
the
water
vp
to
the
middle
,
maintained
the
fight
with
the
enemy
.
Notwithstanding
the
enemy
no
lesse
couragious
,
would
not
yet
leaue
the
strond
,
so
that
some
of
our
souldiours
&
mariners
lost
their
liues
before
the
enemy
would
retire
:
for
the
place
was
discommodious
,
and
hard
to
lande
;
but
most
of
the
enemy
were
slaine
,
to
the
number
of
30.
or
36.
and
the
Gouernor
his
right
leg
was
shot
off
,
sitting
on
his
horse
.
The
lord
General
Peter
von
der
Doest
leaping
first
on
land
,
was
thrust
in
his
leg
with
a
pike
,
and
had
in
his
body
4.

more
,
and
was
in
great
danger
to
haue
lost
his
life
,
but
that
one
of
the
soldiours
slewe
the
Spaniarde
which
meant
to

;
but
his
wounds
were
of
small
moment
,
and
his
ancient

was
slain
with

were

,
&
15.
hurt
in
the
generals
pinnace
before
they
could
come
to
land
:
But
when
our
people
now
with
one
courage
all
together
rushed
vpon
the
enemie
,
(
leauing
their
ordenance
behinde
them
,
)
they
forsooke
the
strond
,
and
ran
together
into
the
town
,
carying
with
them
their
Gouernour
,
whose
leg
was
shot
off
,
&
he
was
a
Knight
of
the
order
of

and
leauing
behind
them
36.
deade
carcases
on
the
strond
,
were
presently
by
our
people
ransacked
,
and
our
dead
people
buried
.
Our
men
now
hauing
won
the
strond
,
put
themselues
presently
in
battell
ray
;
the
empty
boates
returned
to
the
ships
,
but
after
our
people
had
taken
the
strond
,
the
castle
did
neuer
shoot
shot
.
After
the
boates
were
returned
aboord
,
presently
they
rowed
againe
to
the
shore
full
of
soldiours
;
our
people
being
all
landed
,
they
which
for
Sunday
the
27.
of
Iune
,
after
we
had
now
stood
al
night
in
battel
order
,
early
in
the
morning
we
marched
which
al
our
7.
troupes
hard
vnder
the
town
of
Canarie
,
where
we
remained
a
while
in
that
order
:
but
because
they
of
the
castle
(
which
lieth
to
the
towne
)
shot
so
mightily
among
vs
;
2
of
the
troupes
retired
vnder
a
hill
,
where
we
were
a
little
freede
from
the
castle
:
for
while
our
people
stood
imbattailed
before
the
town
,
the
castle
did
vs
great
hurt
,
for
somtimes
they
shot
fiue
or
sixe
men
with
one
shot
,
ere
we
could
entrench
our selues
before
the
castle
:
but
after
they
perceiued
that
our
people
had
made
a
small
trench
against
the
shot
of
the
castle
,
they
placed
on
the
hill
fiue
or
sixe
small
peeces
of
brasse
called
falconets
(
which
shoote
about
a
pounde
of
pouder
)
and
sometimes
they
shot
boules
of
wood
,
wherewith
in
the
beginning
they
slew
manie
of
our
people
:
so
aduantagiouslie
had
they
placed
their
ordenaunce
to
shoot
among
vs
.
Ten
or
twelue
of
our
Souldiours
ranne
vp
the
hill
,
whereof
the
enemy
tooke
one
,
and
presently
cut
him
in
foure
peeces
.
Our
people
seeing
that
they
so
tyranouslie
dealte
with
them
,
about
the
euening
tooke
a
Spaniarde
prisoner
,
and
vsed
him
after
the
same
maner
.
The
lorde
Generall
perceiuing
that
many
men
were
slaine
with
the
ordenance
,
caused
fiue
peeces
of
brasse
to
bee
brought
from
the
castle
which
we
had
taken
the
daie
before
,
and
toward
the
euening
we
beganne
to
make
a
battery
,
and
the
same
euening
brought
into
it
three
peeces
,
whereof
two
were
placed
presentlie
to
play
vppon
the
Castle
,
and
the
hill
:
but
that
euening
were
but
fiue
or
sixe
shotte
made
.
While
that
our
men
made
the
batterie
,
and
planted
or
placed
the
ordenaunce
,
the
enemy
placed
his
ordenance
in
counter-battery
:
and
before
our
battery
could
be
finished
,
and
the
ordenance
placed
,
many
of
our
men
were
shot
,
among
whom
Peter
vanden
Eynde
commissioner
,
had
his
leg
shot
off
,
whereof
he
died
within
three
daies
after
.
After
that
it
was
dark
,
al
they
which
lay
there
before
the
towne
were
againe
set
in
order
of
battel
,
15.
on
a
ranke
,
and
so
remained
all
that
night
.
The
28.
of
Iune
,
early
in
the
morning
euery
man
retired
to
his
quarter
,
and
then
were
two
peeces
more
brought
to
the
battery
,
which
also
were
presently
placed
on
the
Rampire
,
and
so
wee
began
to
shoot
against
the
castle
with
4.
peeces
,
and
with
the
fifth
we
plaied
vpon
the
small
ordenance
which
lay
vpon
the
hils
.
The
enemy
in
the
castle
laid
manie
sackes
of
wooll
,
and
placed
many
tonnes
or
barrels
filled
with
stones
vpon
the
castle
walles
,
supposing
thereby
to
make
some
little
defence
from
our
ordenance
;
but
when
an
Iron
bullet
chanced
to
hit
the
barrels
so
filled
with
stones
,
it
did
them
mightie
hurt
,
for
the
stones
would
scatter
maruailouslie
abroad
,
whereby
many
of
them
that
were
in
the
castle
were
slaine
.
Our
men
hauing
now
with
their
shot
almost
abated
the
force
of
the
castle
,
4.
companies
marched
vp
the
hils
,
intending
to
beate
the
enemy
from
thence
,
which
lay
there
with
the
ordenance
.
But
the
enemy
perceiuing
himselfe
to
bee
assaulted
on
all
partes
,
(
for
most
of
the
ordenance
of
the
castle
were
dismounted
and
made
vnprofitable
,
the
gate
of
the
towne
set
one
fire
by
the
Generals
commandement
)
about
noone
they
forsooke
both
the
castle
,
hill
,
and
town
,
and
with
all
their
wiues
,
children
,
money
and
Iewels
,
and
all
other
things
that
they
coulde
carry
with
them
,
fled
into
the
mountaines
.
Which
when
our
men
perceiued
,
they
put
themselues
in
order
of
battell
,
xv
.
in
a
ranke
.
The
lord
Generall
seeing
the
Spaniards
shamefullie
to
flie
,
caused
2.
ladders
belonging
to
the
enemies
,
to
be
brought
out
of
a
church
which
stood
without
the
towne
,
whereof
the
one
was
too
shorte
,
notwithstanding

climed

The

,
this

some

but
the

(
to

the
passage
were
better
known
,
then
to
our
people
)
suddainly
set
vpon
them
,
&
killed
20.
of
them

Towards
the
euening
some
300.
of
our
Soldiours
marched
towardes
a
small
castle
which
lay
halfe
an
houres
iourney
from
the
towne
:
but
the
enemy
seeing
our
people
to
approch
,
forsooke
the
place
and
fled
into
the
mountaines
,
our
men
being
ascended
,
they
founde
in
the
castle
three
brasse
peeces
;
and
after
they
had
appointed
a
Corporall
with
certaine
soldiours
to
keepe
the
watch
,
the
rest
returned
to
the
citty

The

the
Spaniards
tooke
one
of
our
soldiors
appointed
for
a
forlorne
Sentinel
,
whom
they
presently
put
to

sword
.
The

as
soone

wee
began
to

the
pillage
aboorde
belonging

About

but
the

denied

wherefore
they
were
presently
sent
backe
againe

goods
,
as
they
were
fled
out
of
the
towne
:
and
assoone
as
they
approched
each
other
,
they
began
the
fight
on
both
sides
with
great
courage
,
out
the
enemy
was
forced
to
flie
,
beeing
better
acquainted
with
the

of

our

Dierickson
with

againe
into
their

.
The

we
began
to
burn
the

,
and
with
pouder
blewe
vp
the
castle
which
lay
by
the
towne
,
and
we
burned
likewise

The

the

Presently
after

the

entered

endeuoring
by
all
meanes
possible
to
quench
the
fire
.
And

shewed
him selfe

The

were
not
ransomed
,
sailing
along
the
coast
of
great
Canaria
;
in
which
time
Ian
Cornelesson
Zwartekeys
departed
this
worlde
,
whose
leg
was
shot
off
at
the
taking
of
the
Iland
of
great
Canaria
.
Hauing
nowe
sailed
from
the
hight
of
the
said
Iland
,
which
lay
southerly
from
vs
,
we
had
sight
of
captaine
Hertmans
ship
,
and
of
3.
others
which
rode
there
at
anchor
:
who
,
so
soone
as
they
perceiued
our
fleete
,
waied
their
anchors
,
and
sailed
along
the
coast
with
vs
,
which
were
the
ships
that
the
Generall
had
sent
to
sea
.
Sailing
thus
together
vntill
the
sun
was
in
the
west
,
the
wind
began
to
rise
more
and
more
,
so
that
we
coulde
not
keep
our
direct
course
,
but
were
forced
to
put
to
the
southwest
of
the
great
Iland
of
Canaria
,
where
we
anchored
:
wee
had
sight
of
the
Iland
Teneriffa
,
and
of
an
other
of
the
Ilands
of
Canaria
,
wherein
is
the
hie
mountaine
called
the
Pyck
.
This
hil
was
from
vs
14.
miles
,
but
by
the
great
hight
thereof
it
seemed
to
bee
within
foure
or
fiue
miles
off
vs
,
but
in
the
daie
time
when
the
sun
shined
wee
could
not
see
it
.
The
9.
of
Iuly
,
lying
thus
at
anchor
,
in
the
morning
most
of
the
long
boates
went
a
shore
to
fetch
fresh
water
,
such
as
they
could
there
find
,
and
caried
with
them
the
deade
corps
of
Ian
Cornelesson
aforesaid
,
the
Constables
son
of
the
Admiralty
of
Roterdam
,
called
Zwertkeys
,
which
was
there
honorably
buried
on
the
high
and
drie
land
.
This
done
,
we
set
on
fire
the
woode
which
lay
on
the
shore
piled
and
he
aped
in
the
woods
,
but
in
this
place
we
found
not
any
Spaniards
.
The
tenth
of
Iuly
,
the
boates
being
all
returned
to
their
ships
with
their
people
,
euery
one
wayed
their
anchors
and
hoised
their
sailes
,
the
winde
at
northwest
;
but
being
vnder
saile
together
,
the
wind
flacked
,
&
by
reason
of
the
great
calme
the
ships
lay
a
drift
for
want
of
wind
.
The
11.
of
Iuly
,
in
the
morning
it
blewe
a
stout
gale
in
our
topsailes
out
of
the
northeast
,
but
as
we
approched
the
Iland
of
Teneriffa
,
the
winde
altered
often
;
sixe
or
seuen
of
our
shippes
,
and
the
rest
which
were
next
vnto
the
shore
,
had
sometimes
a
gale
in
their
topsailes
,
and
sometimes
againe
without
wind
:
so
that
we
lay
a
drift
,
and
could
keepe
no
reckoning
either
of
the
wind
or
course
,
and
were
forced
to
alter
our
course
more
then
12.
times
a
day
.
A
declaration
of
the
taking
of
Gomera
one
of
the
Ilands
in
Canaria
,
and
how
we
afterwardes
left
it
.
THe
12.
day
of
Iuly
failing
thus
with
great
variety
of
wind
,
vnder
the
great
Iland
Teneriffa
,
the
day
appearing
,
we
had
the
wind
more
certain
,
filling
our
topsailes
with
a
full
gale
from
the
northwest
:
And
when
it
was
faire
day
light
we
saw
our
fleet
scattred
far
one
from
another
,
by
meanes
of
the
foresaid
mutable
windes
.
Some
ships
lay
driuing
by
reason
of
the
calme
,
and
other
some
had
a
little
gale
,
but
the
most
part
of
our
fleet
were
west
of
vs
,
towards
whom
with
all
speed
,
we
with
the
rest
of
the
ships
made
.
Being
al
come
together
,
wee
endeuored
to
reach
the
Ilande
Gomera
,
wherein
is
a
little
towne
:
towardes
the
euening
many
of
our
ships
were
neere
the
Iland
,
but
the
most
part
were
to
the
lee
ward
;
so
that
before
it
grew
toward
the
euening
none
of
vs
could
come
neere
the
towne
.
Notwithstanding
in
the
twilight
and
shutting
vp
of
the
euening
:
Ian
Garbrantson
Admirall
of
the
white
flag
,
his
vize Admirall
,
and
a
Pinnace
following
,
were
come
neere
the
town
.
Thus
the
Admiral
sayling
so
neere
to
the
Iland
,
they
of
Gomera
discharged
2.
pieces
at
him
,
but
touched
him
not
.
the
saide
.
Admirall
seeing
this
,
passed
on
a
little
farther
with
the
other
ships
which
were
neere
him
,
&
then
tooke
in
their
sailes
,
and
cast
their
anchors
.
The
other
ships
which
were
behinde
,
laboured
all
they
might
to
come
also
vnder
the
Iland
to
them
.
The
13.
of
Iuly
,
the
Admiral
of
the
white
flag
lying
thus
at
anchor
neere
to
Gomera
,
the
greatest
part
of
the
fleete
were
yet
in
the
morning
betweene
the
Iland
of
Teneriffa
and
Gomera
,
so
that
parte
of
the
ships
were
beyonde
the
towne
,
and
must
sometimes
cast
about
to
conducte
the
others
in
,
which
were
in
the
lee
of
vs
.
When
wee
had
nowe
for
the
most
part
passed
the
hight
of
the
Iland
,
the
Generall
gaue
a
signl
to
all
captaines
to
come
aboorde
him
,
being
vnder
saile
,
directing
his
course
to
the
Iland
of
Gomera
,
and
the
other
ships
did
their
indeuour
to
follow
him
,
and
anchored
about
the
necke
of
the
valley
,
lying
north
north
east
off
the
towne
.
The
ships
being
all
come
to
anchor
,
the
captaines
entered
presently
into
the
long
boates
,
and
rowed
aboorde
the
Generall
to
know
his
minde
:
And
after
they
had
beene
a
while
in
the
Generals
ship
,
they
returned
to
their
ships
,
and
4.
companies
of
souldiours
were
chosen
out
,
and
landed
in
the
valley
.
Which
done
,
al
the
ships
waied
their
anchors
,
and
sailed
directly
toward
the
towne
,
and
then
came
to
anchor
againe
.
After
that
all
our
ships
lay
thus
together
in
the
road
neere
the
valley
,
before
the
town
:
we
discharged
certaine
peeces
against
the
town
,
but
they
made
no
shewe
at
all
of
resistaunce
;
for
they
had
buried
foure
brasse
peeces
as
soone
as
they
had
sight
of
vs
,
which
lay
on
the
strond
neere
vnto
a
small
castle
;
the
other
sixe
companies
were
also
set
on
land
in
the
long
boates
,
without
any
resistance
:
for
the
Spaniards
with
their
wines
,
children
,
and
About
the
sunne
setting
was
brought
in
a
spanish
prisoner
,
which
was
deliuered
to
the
Prouest
marshal
,
by
the
Generals
commandement
,
to
the
end
he
might
bring
them
to
all
such
places
in
the
Ilande
,
whereas
the
Spaniardes
had
hidden
their
goods
.
But
because
nothing
could
then
be
effected
by
reason
that
the
euening
approched
,
and
it
began
to
bee
too
dark
,
the
Spaniard
was
committed
to
a
keeper
vntill
the
next
morning
for
the
purpose
aforesaide
.
But
the
night
being
far
spent
,
&
the
keeper
taking
small
regard
to
his
charge
,
the
Spaniard
secretlie
stole
away
and
ran
to
the
mouniaines
.
The
14.
of
Iuly
,
in
the
morning
the
long
boates
rowed
againe
to
the
shore
,
and
caried
aboorde
such
goods
as
the
enemy
had
left
behind
them
,
which
for
the
most
part
were
wines
,
for
they
had
caried
clean
away
all
other
things
into
the
mountains
,
and
had
left
almost
nothing
in
the
towne
,
but
only
the
wines
which
they
had
buried
in
the
earth
:
In
the
afternoone
our
people
found
3.
bels
,
which
they
had
buried
in
the
fields
,
where
corne
had
growne
.
The
15.
of
Iuly
,
in
the
morning
our
people
running
vp
to
the
hils
10.
or
12.
in
a
company
to
hunt
&
seeke
for
pillage
,
were
suddainly
inuironed
by
the
enemy
,
and
6.
or
8.
of
them
slaine
;
the
rest
saued
themselues
by
flight
.
About
noone
there
was
a
generall
muster
taken
of
all
the
soldiours
,
to
see
how
many
wee
had
lost
:
and
such
ships
as
were
appointed
to
returne
home
,
began
to
deliuer
out
the
victuals
.
The
same
day
were
two
copper
peeces
founde
:
whereof
the
one
was
16.
foot
and
halfe
long
,
and
the
other
about
14.
foot
.
The
16.
day
in
the
morning
the
Lord
Generall
gaue
notice
to
all
captaines
to
resort
to
him
aboord
his
ship
,
because
some
of
the
captaines
had
not
sent
victuals
vnto
the
soldiors
that
were
on
land
,
whereby
they
suffered
hunger
,
and
sundry
of
the
soldiours
had
complained
to
the
General
thereof
:
At
afternoone
,
the
enemy
came
to
the
hill
which
lieth
ouer
the
towne
,
crying
and
calling
vnto
our
men
to
come
and
fetch
againe
their
muskets
,
and
towards
the
euening
many
marriners
with
their
weapons
landed
,
and
at
that
instant
also
all
things
were
ordered
to
march
very
early
the
next
morning
vp
the
hils
to
fetch
againe
our
muskets
,
caliuers
,
and
other
weapons
,
which
the
Spaniards
before
had
in
mockery
,
and
giving
wise
willed
vs
to
fetch
from
them
.
But
now
when
all
things
were
ordered
for
this
seruice
:
the
same
night
arose
a
strong
gale
of
winde
,
encreasing
more
and
more
,
that
in
the
ende
it
grewe
to
a
mightie
tempest
,
that
notwithstanding
our
fleet
did
ride
vnder
the
Iland
Gomera
in
the
road
before
the
towne
,
some
were
forced
to
way
their
anchors
and
to
put
to
sea
,
to
preuent
the
mischiefe
like
to
happen
to
the
ships
,
by
reason
they
lay
so
neere
one
another
.
And
when
those
ships
were
a
little
way
in
the
Sea
,
they
cast
their
anchors
,
and
there
remained
.
By
this
occasion
the
generals
aforesaid
enterprise
was
kept
backe
:
we
iudging
it
as
a
warning
,
that
the
Generall
should
spare
and
preserue
his
people
from
the
bloud-thirsty
spaniards
,
which
had
their
holes
and
dens
in
the
hils
,
and
perhaps
might
haue
taken
away
many
of
our
liues
.
And
heere
by
the
way
;
by
the
name
of
the
Iland
Canaria
,
the
Spaniards
may
rightly
bee
called
Canarians
or
Canes
,
for
Canaria
is
by
interpretation
,
dogs
kinde
,
for
they
ran
as
swift
as
dogs
,
and
were
as
tyrannicall
and
bloud-thirsty
as
the
rauening
Wolfe
,
or
any
other
wild
beast
,
which
they
sufficiently
manifested
,
for
as
soon
as
they
could
lay
handes
on
any
of
our
people
(
like
vnto
mad
curs
,
agreeing
with
their
name
Canarians
)
they
would
presently
woary
them
.
The
17.
this
hurtfull
night
ended
,
and
the
tempest
ouer
passed
,
and
alaid
,
the
couragious
soldiors
were
all
in
readines
,
desirous
to
execute
this
peece
of
seruice
,
exspecting
&
desiring
nothing
more
,
then
to
march
vp
the
hils
,
and
to
incounter
their
idolatrous
enemies
.
But
vpon
good
consideration
,
this
enterprise
was
staied
,
and
some
300.
soldiours
sent
into
the
same
valley
,
where
3.
daies
before
our
people
had
beene
suddainly
compassed
,
intrapped
,
and
slaine
by
the
Spaniards
.
Our
soldiours
being
come
to
the
valley
aforesaid
found
no
resistance
,
neither
could
once
see
a
spaniard
;
but
found
a
smal
peece
of
brasse
about
a
fadome
long
,
and
two
barrels
of
gunpowder
;
and
when
our
souldiours
perceiued
that
there
was
no
good
to
bee
done
(
forbearing
to
mount
the
hils
,
because
they
had
no
commission
so
to
do
)
with
such
thinges
as
they
had
they
returned
into
the
towne
.
The
euening
now
approching
,
the
Generall
commanded
to
carry
aboord
the
ships
,
such
goods
as
they
had
there
found
,
and
digged
out
of
the
ground
,
which
was
accordingly
done
and
accomplished
,
among
which
things
were
three
brasse
peeces
,
some
bels
and
other
goods
.
Sunday
the
18.
of
Iuly
,
we
remained
at
anchor
in
the
road
of
the
Iland
Gomera
.
Munday
the
19.
of
Iuly
,
remaining
yet
in
the
Iland
Gomera
,
and
seeing
that
the
Spaniardes
continued
in
their
secret
holes
,
and
dens
of
the
mountaines
,
wee
set
fire
on
the
towne
,
and
as
neere
as
we
could
burnt
down
all
places
,
as
Cloisters
churches
,
hermitages
and
houses
,
remaining
yet
in
the
towne
vntill
it
was
noone
.
After
that
all
this
was
accomplished
;
we
the
vnited
soldiours
forsooke
the
towne
,
and
presently
the
Lord
General
,
with
al
his
company
,
went
aboord
the
ships
.
Thus
we
left
the
Iland
Gomera
burning
,
which
was
neuer
before
done
by
any
nation
.
The
Spaniardes
seeing
that
the
soldiours
were
departed
out
of
the
Iland
,
with
all
speed
possible
,
in
great
heapes
came
running
out
of
their
secret
caues
and
holes
,
to
quench
the
fire
,
like
as
they
of
Allegona
in
the
Iland
of
great
Canaria
before
had
done
.
Wednesday
the
20.
of
Iuly
,
we
lay
stil
in
the
road
before
Gomera
,
in
this
time
2.
of
our
soldiours
were
put
into
captain
Cloiers
ship
,
and
in
lew
of
them
,
we
receiued
out
of
his
ship
2.
others
,
which
were
hurt
,
with
two
Spaniards
.
The
summary
or
briefe
declaration
of
the
Admirals
departing

Indies
.
After
that
the

with
his
Nauy
:
the
rest
of
the
ships
returne
into
the
low
Countries
,
euery
one
from
whence
he
came
.
AFter
that
the
Iland
of
great
Canaria
was
by
the
vnited
soldiours
taken
,
and
won
by
force
of
Armes
,
and
the
Iland
Gomera
conquered
,
for
sundry
reasons
they
were
forsaken
,
after
they
had
caried
to
their
ships
such
things
as
they
found
,
fired
the
townes
,
churches
,
cloisters
,
and
houses
,
and
rased
their
Castles
.
The
Lord
Generall
commanded
all
Captaines
and
officers
of
the
fleete
to
resorte
vnto
him
aboord
his
ship
.
The
same
principals
being
come
accordingly
,
he
welcommed
them
and
shewed
them
al
friendship
he
could
,
thanking
them
for
their
good
and
faithfull
endeuours
which
they
had
shewed
in
this
seruice
,
which
he
performed
with
a
singular

,
praying
Almighty

that
he
woulde
vouchsafe

,
to

of

.
After

,
perswaded
&
desired
all
