MOST
Excellent MAJESTY.
<J\fl A ly A M, '
YO u R gracious Acceptance of my late Book, which I had the
Honour to Dedicate to His Royal Highnels, makes me prc-
{ume to lay This at Your Majefty's Feet.
The Difcoveries that have been fuccelFively made of the Religi-
ons, Manners, Cuftoms, Politicks, and Natural Products of all
Parts of .the World, will here give Your Majelly an agreeable and
iijeful Entertainment : And, I'm fure, it will add to Your Satisfa^H-
on to lee, that they have been chiefly made by thole of Your Own
Nation. It hath been thought by fome a laudable Real'on for fend-
ing our Gentlemen Abroad, that they may the better learn to value
their Native Country. And this I dare fay, That when either a
Man hath actually travell'd the whole World over himfelf, or care-
fully confider'd the Accounts which thofe give us that have done
ib, he will be abundantly convinced, that Our own Religion, Go-
vernment and Conftitution is, in the Main, much preferable to any
he fliall meet with Abroad ; And efpecially under the happy In-
fluence of Your Majefty's Reign, whom Providence leems graci-
oufly to have dcfign'd to make us Great and Happy, even whether
we will or no.
Your Majefty's Goodnels to all Your Subje<Sls, makes our Duty
and Loyalty, by no means a Burthen, but a fubftantial Pleafure. Your
Wifdom and penetrating Judgment difappoints all the Deligns of
^he Enemies of Your Government, and nips them in the Bud. Your
'nd fteadv Affedion for the Eftabhlh'd Church, damps all
the
|i
I he Epillk Dcr.kntory.

the Hopes of luiclkn and Famtic/Jht \ And Your entire Compli-
ance in all I'hini^s with Oiir Laws and ConlHtutions, ^\)iir Leni-
ty, Love of, andCioodnclsto Your I'eople, whole 1 '.ale and Happi-
nefs You really iludv much more than Your Own, fruftrates and
blafts all the barbarous Contrivances of thofe, who would enllave
Us to Arbitrary Power, French and 'Popijh Tyranny : And who
wou'd deprive Us of the greatefl: Blefling We ever yet had, Your
Ma jefty's Sacred IVrlbn and Excellent Government ! This, Dread
Sovereign, all the World fees, and juUly admircsin YourMajeily:
This makes Your Armies contjuer Empires Abroad, and every One
call You BlelVed, yjrvy heartily to God for You, and blejs Gou
for Y ou, at Home.
And as thele are Vertues, Madam, that can never lofe their jufl:
Reward ; fo I doubt not but God will give it To«, in a great Mea-
lure, here ; and make Tou the Glorious Inftrumcnt of Settling the
Peace and Liberty oi Europe on a fafe and lading Foundation.
The mighty Succefs Your juft Arms have obtain'd already, againft
the Common Enemy, doth fairly foretell This. And as I doubt not
but This is the Univerial Prayer of all true Englijh Men ; fo is it de-
fired by none, with greater Zeal and Earncftnefs, than by,

In Viechoitc/m/i a Province ol' MfAr.io, there is a City
called ^lW7m^t, wh'ch is plainly a Chiyitjc Word,
'l\inirm Ixing a ufiial Word in that Language, as H01-
mui faith : Ami near to this Province of Mtchoachan,
diwe arc Two Cities called M.tuchao and C/imfao, as
there arc Fwo in Ct<inj, called Micno and Ci.mpa.
The Penniians Iwaftcd tio higher an Original than s-
bout 40* Years, for the Family of the Incs, Tnc* or
/n^« ; their Prince: that Governed them when the Spr.-
mtirdi hrft difcovered Peru. Befcrcthis, they fav, they
were barbarous, lived wild in the Woi'ds. eat Mans
Hclh, 01 . Till one M.inco came to them from their Fa-
ther the Sun, and taught them a better, mnre civilized
way of life; from this Mmcc came the whole Family
of the r«r«'s.
This Tradition of theirs, Ihcws plainly that Mnnc}
was a Foreigner, and that their Good Govcrninent was
fet up by hiin all at once, and therefore he miil} have
learnt and gain'd his Wiuloni and Pohtene fs ni fonic o-
ther place Tis very probable ihcref uc that this M.ir.ca
came froin C/ii«/r, and that with a licod Fleet of .Ships,
and as L.rt faith, with a Guod ^rniy tco, or elCe he
couKl not have lubdiicd fo numerous a People, nor have
brought thein under any Government. 1 fay, 'tis pro-
bable he came from C/in.-, or f. ,:f /'.m 1 , &c. becaufe the
Architefturc of the f«,«s iiil'<?iH, and a'l their inighty
Buildings, Towers, J?.-, are exadlly atter the C'luelr
manner; their Cities alfo were valliy great, like thofe
ofi./ii'M : In Ciif.o there were aboxe i-.ooco Hoiifes,
many of Stone; their Streets, Large, Noble, and Strait,
adoni'd now and then with Squares, paved with Flint
or Stone, and Towers fortified with Three Walls
round them : Many alio of iluir Culloms agreed with
thi fe of the Chimj-'.
The XUvicmt were the Politcfl, bu; -he Ict^ ar.tient of
any of the People of iinnlct ; t'jr their ..\cc. unc of thcm-
felves reached not above 3:0 'V'ears b.iekward : Now
lincc we learn from ['•I'oictui. ami with a little Vari-
ation as to Time- from the Annals of t.'-M/.i.';' M'iLi\/t
tco, that about the Year of Chrill 1 iC-8 ; the C' m.- '
being driven out of their Country by the Invalioiis cf
the "Tf.rt.^Syf.eA into cvrfiUn rern.i^ hUtuls r.rj fhi-ic t"-
tiMiiied, 'tis very likely that they went then into Am.->-'-
M ; and to make this Expedition, F.icfur their prefer.:
King provided a 1 oct Ships, and took wuh him a ^tfc i:
number of People. Tliefe /^-wf.- liUti.li, as llf^nm,
obl'erves, could neither be J.ip^n not ^rti-'p f'f b.' h
thofe were well knosvn to I'l-.ulus l'!>t::ui, and 'tis plain
and SciciKes foi there is a grelt Conformity between
\\uiO>mrl: Langu-ige, Arts, 6.. and thoft ol' the Old
l-.ayjiiioii ■■ I'licir Culloms alfo and Majiners af rce ; the
Womm in ' hi,,/,, manage the Publick Affain, wlulc
the Men ate Cot-Queans, drcfs the Viduali and man-
tle all Uonicftick BufuKls, and this we learn from He-
r,>,i-tu!, ■"■/", Epif.h.vtiiii, Itif.lniui, Sec. was the way
of the Anticnt l-.f^yttin'is ■ The ( .'i)/'yc had alfo the man-
ner ot hatching Cluckitis by the heat of Ovens, which

iisfy theui, that a large Tree would moic than bear
the weii^ht of a Man upon it, without finking, and that

Hui 01vri:ui L:Jir.i>i:,i faith i'; l-'ect is enough. In the
Ancient Tiiifwjc; thele Intervals between the Rowers,
are not alwa>s to be ronlidetcd attet the fame manner.
Ihews, that the Ihickiiefs of thole C)ars, juit without i If tiic Oars were to be placed iliiedUy and perpcndicu
the Sciltniii, ought to have been fomething above 7 In
chcs in l.)iameter, and that j6 foot of the length of the
Oar was withoi t the Ship. At the p.iit, or handle,
where the Rowers fate and pulled, it was at leall 1 ^
Inches in Diameter: Into which thick handles, if Lead
were call, as .lti\-iu:i! laith there was, they would be
calily enough manageable by 4 or luoic Hands,elpccially
having a third part of their length, or 19 Foot within
Board : Which is the Proportion that il.oiildbeoblerved
in all Oars. He laith further, that there can be no good
Rowing Ship but what will have the length of the Oar
without Board to the height of the uppermolt ji.i/»/i
above the Surface of the Water, in a SrJ.jiiiterti.:n (he
lliould have laid, i ifi,i Sefjiatciti.m) l{.irij: Or as j'
to one. \ 'herefore the Oars in this great Shi|i leing
j6 Foot long without Board, if when being put down
to llrike the Water, they be lowered 1 Icot t'rom the
perpendicular ofthe hir^.'iclf Sc.ihni, the diltance ot thele
Scnlmt from the Water will be 9 Foot. But then the
next Difficulty will be, how to accown for .jcoo Row-
cis 111 no greater an height iioiii the Water than <j boot
:rly over each other; the Dilfaiice of 5 Feet or i'.
Feet was enough between Rower and Rowtr. But if
the O'dinci role obliquely, the Rowers were at leaft 7
Feet diftant one from another. But this could not be
in the Voincl'^QHcni, detciibcd by Mcwi.on m P/aiui i
In each fingle 0'i/,i of whidi he laith, there were too
Rowers; for if we allow 7 Foot diflance between Oar
and Oar, the Ship mult be above 700 Feet in length,
1 elides Head and Stern . Wherefore J-' /,' 1/. thinks 'tis
pretty clear, that this Vdmi had but one On/; of Oars,
and eight Men to each Oar; but in the Ship of I'totcmy
I'hiiopaior, there could not be fuch a Dilpolition ofthe
Oars. For if you fhculd luppofe, that there was only
tile fpace of j foot between the Oars of the fame O j;.
Ill this Ship ; The ~ ^■.^■■^<, or Part of the Ship where

you will have 4 1 Or.lmei of Rowers upon feven Jk^i or
Iknclics ar.d riling gradually intofevcn Or.linei lirtmrum.
Now (into It appears from .iihctitui, that in this cele-
brated Ship of I'liikpetor, there were 50 Oars of a Side
plaied lenpthwife, and that Ihc was of the height of 7
B.inks or I) .V.'i.-iot Oars; 50 muJtipUed by 7 gives

And thus doth this very Learned and Judicious Man
account for the diltributionof the 40C0 Rowers in this
eminent Ship of t'toloimPhilcpuicr^oiXcTS it for a Solution
of the Difficulties about the Ordines, which 1 have the
more largely gr.cnyou, becaufc it is much the bed of
any I have met with ; tho' even this is embairafl'ed with
fomc Perplexities, not to fay Incotjfiftcncies, which

dilfance of Tunc we may cxpcdl.
The Learned and Inquifitive Schffer came near to a
right Solution of this Matter ; but he was hinder'd from
complcating it, bv falling into an Erix)r, in which fome
others have alfo tbllowed him, or he them ; which is,
'.hat none of the antient Writers mention Oars that were
otoved by more than one Man at a time. But this Mi-
ftake V':(]iut flicws to ante from their not coiiliJering,
that both Urerkj and Liitines iilc the fame word for the
Oar, the Men that row with it, and the Vcli'el rowed by

plain he could not mean there were but eOars in the
Ship; for how could thofe be called a Multitude ? Nor
could he mean that tile Ship had Jcm O'liinn Hcmoium ;
for no Piratical Ships ever were of that form in his time,
but were built low and flat like the modem (jallies :
And therclore he inuft mean, that the Oars were moved
by lix Hands, or Men, a-picce. So alio when 111 l.ivy.

which, he f.iilh, had Jrdeaml Cfm Hciiinmn. I \'f,::,i hav-

were fome Oars in this Ship fo large as to be moved by
16 Men; or rather that tlie .Ship having 4 Orders, Banks
or! ires ot Oars, thelowefl were moved bv one Man at

ed by 3 Men ; thole in the -^i Orjo by %, atij thole n,

Let us now leave the middle pait of the Ship, and

Ihis the Grr.'lii called •!•«, and M'i»n>, and the /.«-
tiitii P'aia : In fome Ancient Ships, we read, that this
part was double, as alio the Stern ; as in that Ship of
niMimii, with which he fled into E;^}pi. Here wascon*
fijerable, lirft the fi^'W.^ which was a long Pecce '•''

cal.'cd i»)«« "->>•, it being fomething li^,'. an Eye; this
S.o/w was alio called «i»«>.i.^ and «»'°i«M»>«i« : The up-
ptirmort Convex part of this, as appvars by the draugnt
of the Ancient Tiiremii which Lit\itTui B^yfius pretends
CO give us from the ^■ai^.\ Column, was the «><f/rtM».,
which the Komitni called itfliijlre, and anfwered to the
j«>.<n in the Stern Sunntimcs the Acroftoiia were ot
an Orbicular Form, fometimc fhapcd like Wings j and
to il there was often an •oti/hh, iantiMu^ « Scutulum,
or little Shield alFixcd, and fomctimes a piece of Wood
svas elected, to which Ribbonds of divers Colours were
hung, and ferved both for Ornament, and DiAiniflion
of the Ship : Rut there was ufually in the Prow placed
juft below the «*^ the r^eiinuf, the Ancient or Flag
by which Ships were not then diftinguilhed, to what
Nuioa they belonged, as they are now, but from one
another. The Lttines called this P.flura, becaufe it
ufually reprefcnted fome Animal, Flower, or fome Ar-
tihcial thing, a Trown, G^c. Sometimes alfo this was
Atved on a kind of Table, Shield, Gfr. of Wood, and
pain'ed afterwards : From the Figure of this Piiri\lcmi,m
the Ship took its Name, being called the Dolfhln, if it
reprcfented that Fi/h : But with us now, this i$ ufually
done from the Piaure in the Stern. In yirpil there are
two Palfages confirming this, as I And them cited by Mc-
rifotm in his Orbii Mantimui.
The firft is.

was cont.iinod that fpace which the Grcekj called ^f>f"-

ed from 'he foremoft Oars to the «'>.'>t<\h>. This Prow
iir Foro-pa't of the Ship was anciently finely adorned :
Somctmics puilded with Gold, and fometimcs painted
wiih beautiful and lively Colours. Of which Red was
molt ancicmly in ule : For we find Homer giving the
(> rek Ships the Titles of fUi,liTO(»ii and »«iri«ti»f«i: This
they th'Miiilir very proper for Ships of War, bccaufeit
w.uihc Colour of Blood: But fomctime Blew or Sky-
Coloui was alfo the Falhion, as bearing
Hancewith the Colour of theSra: Thus we find in
//i»wi. Ships called »«>c»t»e«i from their bifw Heads ;
and in //»i//o^/M»p; they arc callrd »'«i</u;.),m Se\rral
other Colours were alio ufrd ; and thefc wert net i nly
Varnifliis or Colours flightly laid on, but they were
done after a much Itrougcr manner ; and annealed in 1 y
Wax melted in the Fire, and incorporated withiliePie-
menr, lo that neither Wind, Water, nor the lie.it of
the Sun, would much damage it. From the Wax ihat
was ul'cd in this kind of Painting, it was called "ry.

mentioned by Ovid in the 4th Bock of his Fr/li :

In thefe Colours, and in divers parts of the Ship, they
did ufe to repreliem the Figures of their Dcirics, of Ani-
mals, Plants, Flowers, Gc as Bnyfim at large Ihews
from the Ancient Monuments. And the manner how
they did it is defcribcd by Vitmviui in Ul, 7 c. p.
There was alfo one kind of Ornament which, with the

But the Lutinrs did make ihtfe Ccyr'hi common Orna-

in the general, they feem to be much the fame with the
«J*f«rUi«.
In the Stern of the Ship, which the Greel{s called
•i"^", and their Poets '>^. The Top, or uppermoft
part of it, was the «"«'.«!i», or Aphjhc in L^tine ; which
was a kind of handfome Shell framed of Boards, and
placed over the Captain's Seat in the Poop ; a little
lower was a Place called »»nVi:,^ whofe lower part was
the Mtma ; and becaufe it was bent in an Arch, like the
bead of a Cradle, or of a Basket Chair^ they called it
***'"' : And the Planks of Wofd out ot which this was
made, ■^tfdtm. The Poop, o upper part of the Stern
was much h^her than the Head, and inciir\arcd in
Arch-wife: Mr f'i'rii/ mentions the Commander of the
Ship as Handing, —Cdj.: in puppii and Ovid hath it,
Statitcm in Piippe reewii . For this was the Pilot or Ma-
ker's Place, wno gave Diredlions for fteiring the Ship :
And here the Commander in chirf fate, iti the .ibovc-
mentioned arched Scat Which /fwnitw calls «'■', the
Ltitinei called it D':iti and Taberr. •.culum. In the Stern

as having tjccn folemnly committed to it. The Stern
was alfo 'then, as it is now, the moll honourable part
of the Ship : And held fo fiaed, that it was a kind of
San(ftuary to retire to in the grcatcft Danger : And this

5. »V/,(5«, /li,;horti. This was firll the Invention of
the Tyrrlvnir.iii, as I'ihiy faith, tho' others attribute it to
Mid.ii, the Son of Cordlon : They were very anciently
made oi Stone; And that not only as being great Stones
tvith Holes bored thro' to fallen Boats to, as in Rivers
now a-days ; but formed into the Shape and Figure,
nearly, 01 our prefcnt Iron Anchors: And l.uJotiaa
tiptnanu: tells us, that at Cj'eciit, in the i:.ifi Indies,
Marble Anchois are ufed to this day, the like others re-
late of Jo/i-iw. W?/'ra.<uj faith, that in I'lolomy Philop.t-
tor\ Ship there were four Wooden, and eight Iron An
chors. But thefe Anchors ot Wood, Sclieffer thinks,
were not of the Figure of ours ; but only pieces of
Wood, with Lead calt into them, by the weight of
which the Ship was llaid. And this he gathers Irem a
Paflage in Oio<iori/i,I,ib.V. where he laith, that the P/w-
niciani coming into lii'.ly to buy Silver, and 'ending ve-
ry great Plenty of it, they took out the L. ' out of
their Anchors, and put Silver in the room of it. They
uled alfo for the fame purpofe Pyramidal Baskets,
which they filled with Stones and Pebbles, efpccially
in hard Ground, where the Fluke of an Anchor would
not take hold, and thofc Anchors they called «u»'Woi,
as I'ohr.nui tells us in the Hiftory ui lpl<ic' ates, Lib. j.
exemp. 58. In time they came to nuke their Anchors
of Iron , but at firft they had but one Fluke, thcfe the
ii: eckj called '''eitt.wj" ; but alter foiiic time, EufnL:miui
or fome fliy Amci^arjis, a Scyrlii.m Philofophcr, found
out, that 1'. was better they Ihould have two Fluke

call now the Sheet Anchor. Whether they made ufe of
any Stock to go thro' the Ring of the Anchor, in order

Beams of Wood flicking out forward in the Hcjd ot the

deftroy and ruin any Men rhat it fell upon, and ibmc-
times break a Hole through the Ship it felf. At the
Ends of their Yardsihcy had alfo oftentimes «'t«'«i pla-

l:ncmies Ships. Diodarui Sicului, Lib. 12 Livi calls
them Ttllctii, and by fomc Writers 'tis tailed Ciccni,i,

Pieces of folid Iron with j Spikes to them, and a Ring
on the top (according to Schrffer) to which an lion
Chain was faftened. Thefe were violently thrown by
an Engine into the Enemies Ships, and did often break
Holes in her, but moft times held herfo faft linkt, that
they could not get off. The way to prevent thefe Co. ; i
and M»nuiFnrt*hom taking effeS, was, as Pu//;/»- faith,
to ftretch Hides all over theii Decks. They ufed allii
Sifhonei, as they called them, that is, T:ubei, or hollow
Cylinders fillctl with cotibuftible Matter, which would
fuddenly take Fire, and break out upon the Enemy with
Flame, Nolle, and Smoke. Ignu cum Vcnitni (Jhnmt

driwn upby Piilijs to the end of the Ya'-d- Arm, which

Obfervations of the I.eaiiicd and Ingenious Capt. Hnlly

And alfo becaufe many Travellers and Na\ igators may
- , — bycom-
mtimcating any to Iron, and this Virtue it can com-
municate to Iron veryfpccdily ; tho" the longer the Iron
touches or joins the Stone, the longer will its communi-
cated Virtue hold, and a better M.igntt will communi-
cate more of it, and fooner than one not fo good.
I y i hat Steel receives Vii tuc from the M,tp»et better
than lion.
1 1. A Needle touch by i M/tf'net, will turn its Ends
the fame way towards the Pole's of the World, as the
Magnet will do.
11. Ihat neither 1 oadlfone nor Needles toucht by it,
do conform their Poles exaiitly to thofe of the World ;
but have iilualiy lome Variation from them : And ihu

M. That a I.oadltone wiil take up murh more Iron
v'hc;i armed or^apt, than it canalofie: And that tho'
an Iron Ring or Key be fulpemlcdby the Loadlionr, yet
the Magnetical Panicles do not hinder that King i rKey
from turning round any way either to the Right or Left.
14. That the Por.c of a Loadftone inay'bc variouUy
encreafed or Iclliined, by the various Application of
Iron or another Loadlfonc fo it.
IS That a (Irong Magnet, at the Icali dilfancc from
alelferora weaker, cannot draw to it a Piece of lion
adhering aiaiially to fuch lelfer or weaker .Stone j but if
it cometo touch it, it can draw it from the other : But a
weaker Magnet, or even a little Piece of Iron, ran draw
away orleparateaPicce of Iron contiguoustoa greater or
itronger Loadftone.
16. That in our North Parts of the World, the South
Pole of a Loadllonc will raile up more Iron than the
North Pole.
17. That a Plate oi Iron only , but noothcr Body in-
tcrpoled, can impede the Operation of the Loadftone,
either as to its ,ui>e.Hive or Hiieilivc Quality. Mr.

M.ijwiifni, we Ink! the lower Ends of fuch Bars will
drive away the North, hnd of a polled Needle, and will
aitraft the Southern . Which lliews, that by ihc conti-
nual Patfaije of the fubtilc Magiieiical Particles through
them, they arc turned into a kind of Magnecthenifeives.
(). IfaBar of Ironthat hathnot long ftoodinanercdt-
cd Pollute, be only held perpcndicnUrly, its lower Had
will be- the North Tolr, and attraCl the South Point of
a touched Needle : But then this Virtue is tranlicnt,
and will Ihift as you invert the Bar ; for the other End,
when held lowermoft, will prefently become the North
Pole : VVhcrcforc, in ordei to rendrr the Qjiality of
I'fiiicit} permanent in an Iron Bar, it inuft remain a
long time in a proper Pofition: But the Fire will produce
thisHtfecf in a very Ihort time ; for as it will immedi-
atolv depn ve a Loadltoiie of Attraiftivc Power, or change
its Poles (as in /..vo.v. 1,2.) foit will as foon give a Vtr-
ti.lty to a Bar of Iron, if licing heated red hot, it be
cooled in an creilt Pofition, or direJiy North ami .South.
Nay, It haili been obfervcd often, that even Tongs and
Fire-Foiks, by being often heated, and then let to cool
in a Polition near to rrcfl, have gaiaed this Magnctical
l'io|>trty. The Kcafon of which very dift'ercnt Etfcdts
ot iheFiuon a Mi^n", and on Iron, Mr- Hoitc, with
hisufual Modelty, fuggefls to be this : That the pecu-
liar Texture or Conltitutioii by which a A/ngiiff ditfers
tiom coiiimuii Iron Oar, being accurate and fine, is
Ipoilcdby the rude and violcntAttacks of the Tire: But
this mighty Agent by working upon Iron, foftcns and
opens the Pores of the Mettal (which is harder than Iron
Oar;) fo that it becomescapableof being pervaded by the,
Magnetical P.irticles, and by that means gains a ff/«(><;
7. Mr. b -jU found, that by heating a Piece of EntUfl.
Okcr red hot, and placing it to cool in a proper Pofture,
it plainly gained a Magnetick Power.
8. The lame Noble Gentleman found, that an excel-
lent Loadltoiie ol Ins own having bin almi;lt a Year in
an iiicoiiveiiicnt Poltiuc, h.ad iis Virtue fo imnair.'d,

9' It a Needle be well touched on a good Loadltone,
'liskiiiwn It will, when duly [loifcd, point North and
South ; but it It have one contrary Touch of the .'ainc
Stone, it will inir.icdiatcly be deprived of that Faculty;
and by another fech Tomli it will have its Poles quite
'hanged ; fo tlutilie Hiid which betbte pointed North,
liiill now point Suuihward.
10. Dr. /J, nw and ,vlr WyrUiih tiicd, that altera

A Difcourfc uf the l\>ri.ilion of the Comfdfs^
by ^\r. Edm H.Uiy, Saviiian i^nfcjjur ,}
CjcuHictry in Oxford, .;v / r.R.S,
1 HE Variation of the Compafs (by which I mean the
Defieaion ot the Magnetical Needle li 0111 the true
Meridian; is otthat great conctnimeiit in thj .Artof N.t-
vigation, that thcNegk-a thereof docs little !e!s dian wil-
der ufeleh(;iie of tla-NoblcltlnvcnvionsMaiikuid ever ytc
attained 10 : And tot ihijcaufe all Ships of .onfcquenco
(cIpeCLilly thole bound be)ond the Eqiiati r) cany with
thenilnltrunientsonpurpofe to oblcrve this Variation-
lliat lotheCw>iife (leer'dby theCompifs. may U- redu-
ced tothe trueCourleinrefped of the Meridian
Now ahho the great Utility that a pct'edt Know-
ledge ot the I heory of the M.ignct:cal Direction would
attord to Mankind in gencr.ij. and efptcialiy to tl.ole
concern d in Sea Affairs, leems a fufficient licitemcnt lo
all Philulophical and M.iti.cmaiical Heads, to take undci
(erious Conlideraiion the fevcra: pc...f,„. 7 , and to en-
deavour to r^-concile them by lome gencr.il Rule ^ ct m
It IS, that almoft all the Anchors trom whom a Dilcnujle
of this kind ought to have been cxpi-aed, pifs by m
lilence the Difficulties they here encounter. And tnofe
that mention tbisVariation,by affirming it to proceed fiom
Caiilcs altogciher uncertain (as are the calual iyiii)' oi
Iron Mines and I oadliones in the Earth) put a liop ro
all further Contemplation, and give difcouragemeiit 10
thofe that would otlierwifc undertake tins Uiiquiiy.
' 1 IS true, that not long (ince one Mr. BomV, an .W Tea-^
cher of Navigation, put forth a liiiall Ireatife, whctein
he pretends to calculate the Variation ; but lie limits his
Hypothelis to the City of l.t.n.im, affirming himfelf (as
he had a great deal of rcafonj that the fame f.j/. ;,/,/( is
not fufficient for other Places ; whereby it appears, that
this Rule is far Ihort of the fo much dclircd general
one.
Now altho' (through want of fufficient Obfervaiions,
and fome other Di.^.-ulties which I fhall anon Ihew) 1
cannot orecend |x.rfeiftly to ellabliih the Numbers and
Rules of a Ca'iului, which ihall precifely anfwer to the
Variations of all Parts of the World ; yet I fuppofc it
will not be unacceptable to the Curious to propofe tbine-
thing ot a Light into this abltrule Myltcty , which, if
no other, may havethisgood cHeCt, to ftir'up the Philo-
fophicah.'rtmof the Age to apply themfelves more at-
tentively to this ufeful Speculation. But before I pro-
ceed, 'twill be neiell'ary to lay down the Grounds upon
wliiihl raifemy Conclulions, and at once to give a Sy-
iioplis of thofe Variations which I have rcafon to look
upon as fure, bcuig moltly the Obfervations of Perfons of •
good Skill and Integrity.

I took notice, that in failing from .V'. Ihl:tu by the Ide

And by the way. it will not be aiiiils to amend a rc-

Of the Improvement 0/ N A V i G A T I o N in Latter Times.
'J he firU Jpplication of Magnetiail and Ajlrommical Inpimmtts
thereto : And the Difcoveries made by the Portugueze.
IF wc look back upon Antiquity, »nd confider the
State of Navigation in the remoter Ages of the
World, wc (hall cafily confefs, that they did, in all
Points, fall vaitly (hort of the admirable Attain-
ments of their Succcflbrs, in thefe Matters : For
the Proof of this, wc need but conitdcr, that the
Invention of the Compafs is of a very modern Date ; and
'tis not to be difcerncd, by iny convincing Tokens, that
our Forefathers did ever dream of any fuch Contrivance.
And being dcftitute of fuch a Dircdlion, as this Noble In-
ftrumem aflbrds, they were put to no fmal! Shifts to find
their Way at Sea. They were forced to fetch Inftrutflions
froin the Heavens above, and the Profpedl of the Globe
round about them. The Rocks and Mountains were their
Guides by Day, and the Stars by Night had the Condudl
of the Ship. Their imperffdl Art could not piotcd a Vcf-
fcl under the Fury of a rufllod Sea : 'Twas in the Power
'>f each Wind to fruilratc a Voyage, and detain tlicm dole
i'rifoncrs in theiv own Port. They dared not venture
out to Range the wide Ocean, and bid Adieu to the L.uul,
for Weeks or Months together ; but generally took Care
to keep the Shore in (iisht, failing as i.ear it as they could
with Safety, and notliing but Tcnipcfts could ever drive
llicin further : So that they could inake no great Progrels
in the Difcovery of any Countries, that did not |uft Ixjr-
dcr upon them ; and the GloLc they lived on, might be
either ten times bigger, or as many times lefs than ills, for
.iny thing they could find by their Navigation.
Bui the latter Ages, by the happy Difcovery of fomc
rtie Ativan. Properties of the Loadftone, have with much cafe fui-
(jgc of Mo. mounted thole formerly reputed Impoinbilitas in Sailing :
<*"" N-tviRj. They ha\ e now gotten the frecUle, and the full Command
llili' f IIk'^"' *''^' Ocean : They can travel all over the vail Dii .cu-
AiKici.ii lions ot it, without fear of lofing ihemlelvcs, or their in-
tended Harbour : They can, by infalliblo Methods, lleei
their Courfc tothc remotcft Pans, and furvey the whole
Globe from the one Pole to the other : They are not liable
to any of tliofe Difappointments, nor tied tooblervc tnofe
lliort uncertain Meafurcs in their Sailing, that the .Ancients
nij. ri.o' the Air bo all biack wiJi Milts and Fogs, and
the St.irs aflortl i.) Light nor Direction ; tho' the Fonts
^■•t rjr.>. of Winds and Waves combine to make them wander up
I'lfs't" ■^"'■^ down the Deep, yettUU under the ConduA of thiscx-
)» IT. 1.''' cellent Guide, they know where they are, and how lo ex-
tricate thcmfel vcs out of every Labyrinth. Something of
the Nature and Property of the Loadftone, was without all
qucftion known to Antiquity. They knew the attradive
Power it ercrcifcs upon Iron, and the ftrange Sympathy
between thofc two Bodies. * This the Works of Plato, ' See i vaft
Ariftotle, &c. do fufficiefttly juftifie ; in which wc find ^',1,'"?,"° "*'
fomc of thofe Phamomena taken notice of. Butthe Polar ih'!I p" r'., ?<:

Parts of the Earth 'tis of a luddcn forced into : Thefe are m,. ' ' '^'
Diilovcries.the Glory of which fcems purely to belong to
the l.itter Agesof the World. Tistruc, that fomc over-
zealous Champiens for the C.iufc and Honour of Antiqui-
ty, v.ill find this Difcovery there, infniteof allDemon-
ftrations to the contrary : And Sctcmcu being granted to be
the Wileitof Men, iruft of neeelTity alio be the Autho'.
of this Invtniion, as fomc will fain have it. But wirhou
any Derogation from the Honour of thatPrince'sWifdom,
it is not very Ukely that this Difcovery came from him :
For we never heard of any Volumes of his concerning
Minerals and Follils, tho' we know he difcnurfed largely
of the VcperyV- Kinj'dom : Or had he done fo in'.any Wwimo'-*
part of his W .v ings, tho' the Books themRdves had been P'^^'^'y '>>•
lolt, ) ct the Virtues of fuch a Stone fo ufeful to the World, fbici'a^.li'
and celebrated by luch an Author, would cert.iinly have '
been nicely prclervcd in Memory, and as carefully tranf-
muted to I'ofterity. Belidcs, 'tis molt certain, that tlus
Invention muft have been known not nnly to Sohmou luiii-
lelf, bi-: Loall :'ie T)iiV>, Sailois, and Sva-men, who were
the .'vlanagcrs of his Fleet ; and who by the hcip of i-,
wcKto pcilorm the 0;/V;„?>i Voyages, (which Voyages,
by the way, were too (low and tedious, to be performed by
the DircdionofaCompaf. ) And had the /W.inj known
it,^ the News would nor nave llopp'd there ; the whole
Wuil.l would quickly have rang with the Noife of it :
Ai.d iheir Ships would have carried the Report, where.
ewr the Wind had blown, and the Seas had run. And
ever^ Aj'e unqucltionably would havel>ccn infinitely fond
.uid under, ot lo pioht.tble a Contrivance is this ; and
h.ive recoiumended it to the liicreciling Generations, a<:
the niGit inrltimable jewel a P>:ople could be pollllfcd of.

trvc aiu: faithful Imlcy, it points onr (tlo" not aluaxv, \et|
often; the tnie Poles of the preai M.ipnet, our Tcrreftriall
(ilobe. The othir is that which i-. wilrarly called, thc|
\'ar;ation (.f tiie Compaf'. ; and it '.^ the Deflexion of '.he
iMaenetick Akridian, trom an i vacr K. and S. 1 ii.e ; fol
tl.atihe forirnr makesacutam Anplc wrdi this latter, de-|
ili.iinu from it either Hafti.r!y or WeUciiy, aecorditp asj
the Caiife of that IXchnaiKui (whai xer it l>c), is I'.-aled
either K.wards the one or the other of thefe (i.iarters :
This Vanatior obferves forthe niolk pavt. no (fat^d Rule,
nor I aw, in propcitlon to the 1 onpite.de, latitude, orSi-
taatiop of I'sices. It is not equally ob'er\ed in all Vans
ot the fame Meridian : As under the Meridian of the Ille
hei Cuv. , which is one of theW^.r s ; there is no Varia-
tioti at the Ille it felf, but there is conliderable in I'omc
other Pans of the fame Meridian. -Again, It doth not ob-
fer\e any certain proportion m poing fi( in t.iif to Wcit,
and NVeit to Haft : For from the Iflc Dr. (.'cnri, it incrcafes
to the Illcs I'l ijl.n; Je CuJ:-, and to thofe fnrrher Eafterly,
where It is rear itDcgr. but fnin thence to the C'.:/v 1>.!.'
^f^iilljs, it dceicafesatain ; loihat near that Cape, which
is rot far from the Cape of (i.r.l line, there is very little
Variation, if .iry : Neither is the Quantity of it alwavs
cxaChy the Ume, in the fame individual place. For in-
llance : Ai l.onloi, A.jy i',Sf, the Variation was obfei-
V(d to be 1 1 Deer, i 5 Min. ; but bv a fucceeding Obler-
vation, in 166a, it was fomd 6 Dtgr. 13 Min. So at
I'atti, in if4r, it was obfer\cd to be 3 Deer, vhereasjc
Years Kfoiv, (.1-.) 1610. it was tmind at the fime place
to be b Dcgr. The Caiifesof allthefefiirprizing I'hiEiio-
mena, are purely of Philofophick C'oiilider.aiion, and there-
fore arc not to be emniircd after in this place.
But hacing now brielly diicourfcd thcle (ieneral Intro-
duclory Heads, concerning the C'ompaf^ it felf, we mril
look farther into the .Succeiiive Ufs and .-Vpplicatioi . of
it, to the Bulincfs of Navigation : And here iiiiUy to pur-

Portu^iicxc Courage and Valour, defired C/ipmlis to go and
take a certain great Ship that was coining from Crchin to
(,'nm/Miir. C.tpralis onler'd out one of hi? Icaft VcTels for
this F.merprize ; which yet pcrformeil it fuccef^fvilly, bring-
ing that mighty Ship in Triumph, the next Uay.inro (.'.i/i--
ciit Road. This AcHon procured ihein ar once the King's
Admitaiion, and the .^ Zoo's Envy ; who now began to
Pi adice their aieulh ni'd Arts of Tteachcrv and Deceit,
abufiiig them by all the Methods they rmi'd devife,
iiotwithllaiulingtheKing's Encouragemeiu ami I'nitei^fion.
The />i7;(;;«c;.-, by that Charter, were to havehad the lirlf
Kefiifals (if the Market : lUit the A/m / preunted iheni,
and pot their own Velfels well laded hril ; making the
I't'ti ^..c:;i- (tay three Months, inffead of twenty Days, for
iheir 1 adinp, iho' they were piomis'd to be dilpatch' ' in
that fpnce of time.
(.'.:/i uii ciimplain'd to the King of thefe Procecilings ;
who oil! h:m take S.uisfaOli"" fniin the Mj <•, and lade
liis own out of their Velfe's. This he was himleU inwil-
ling to do ; but To, , I--, the C.n|e Merchant, urg'd him t j
it fo much, that he brought back one of the Aim' 's .Ships
; which was marching off) into the H.aven ; the King
not openly eoumenainiiig one lide or the other, but feem-
inp willing to h.ive them try tlie Matter ov.t betwixt them.
The M.iiri upon this, with a Company of .Soldiers, broke
i.ito the /'i»'.'.;;.vi':;T 1 l:)iife, and nnilil'd them with great
ileat and Fury. The odds were very great too, there be-
ing but 70 f\.i.';i.;«-r.' to .^op&r of thefe Barbarians, fo that
Ciife.i, with ", n nioreof ihem, were iherc killed fpon the
ipot, and the reft miking a hard Ihifi) were got aboard
their Ships.
Ill Revenge "if this Injury, C.'ir/nir/.'j the next D.-y fell
upon ten great Ships of theAfo'ir, killd rtoo Men, .mil
diltributeii the rcH .as Slaves, laded his own V .-Ifels wuh
iJKir (loods, and fer the empty .Ships ahte. Ihc next
Morning he batter'd the Town with his great Guns, which
rut oti'a i^reai man\ , the King liinif It very n.irrowly e-
fcnping one (if their rambling H.ilK, knocking down one
of his Conniersdiad at his I-Ver.
"1 W.1S high time now to leave C.ilc.ut ; from which
iherefi re C.U'irl.'j depaned, and went to (.;) Ccchin. which
is about 170 Miles from (.i/fiHf .Southward. The King of
tins place was at that tiir.e poor, and a 'I'ribuiaty to <■.;-
IccNt ; however he gave the /'(ii/Kjw^jcfrecleavcto Tr.adc,
and Houfcs for that purpofe ; which Privilege was alfo
offer'dby theKings of t't/->_5 Hfi, and C'm/.;») • But 'twas
at C d'iii that C<:pi .vis fix'd his Staple.
Not long after this, News was brought him, thr.t the
King of (.'.(/a //f, ('rclcihed to reijuite the Infoleree and
Outragt s of ilie l'e:tvs_iic^:} h.id lent out a Fleet of iwen'.y
great Ships, and fevcral fmall ones, ro purfuc and Kght
thein. C.tp./ilJi went out to .ittack them, but the Wind
not f.-rving, the two Fleets did not meet to difputethe
Point .It that time ; 1 caving therefore two Faiitors at (.V-
1 ''/;.■, and i.iking in the relt of his Freight at i'ltii.inci, he
fer out homewards, y.n., nv the i6th. One of hisSiiips
was here wreck d ; and another of them he employ'd in
the Search of the Golden yrph.i.'.t ; and with the relt
he return d to l.i.ion , which he reach'd the lalt of
d'liy. _
Before he came home, the King had difpatch'd three
other Ships upon the fame /W.'.m .'Vtfair. And the * Year
following he lent f './/'.f'd'.iw.i a fecond time, with 'en Ships.
(r') C1nr Hodcnm alfo went out with a Fleet of 1 s Ships,
havjni; reccix'd Orders to make hmifelf Mafterof the Sea,
'■ and to lio his utiiioft againft the Moon.
Five Ships more went under Stephen C.vtm ; and in
fhori, fo many .Ships went, that in a little ti.nc, the main
Riches and Prohts of the /;.^-I«^//ej, were fiiipp'd over

The many Affronts that h.ul been otfcr'd tothcPn/H.

mind to the Plunder of the King's Palace, and cnvyi. :,;any
elfe a flipre in the Glory of taking it, pulh'd Matters on
with too much Heat and Ralhnefs for his own Security :
For here his Soldiers thinking all their own, and mindinf;
nothing elfe but enriching themfel.e-i wiih the Royal
Spoils, gave the .Adverfaries fuih an adiantnge, that 111 a

ly to have been a Peninftila : Sc^je i.i was the tirit
th.it did this. Having here made a league w.h the Kings
ot //...' K and /'f.//-, .ind ereiiled icme Stciv,' .Mi;miipents,
he came to .i \l:l.tu i ; the Prince of wUch was \eiy •'> ^■^'■'■

This not taking, the Plot was laid to difperfe his Men
about in leveril places from hiii, and then to .lUault his
Ship, and take both him and it together. To accon pl.ili
this, the perliiiious King ofi'er'd hun, as a very great Fa-
voiir, the Liberty of Lading his Ships, and that Ud'oieany
other Merchants whatever; only defiring him to keep this
Favour to hinifelf, and not to publilli it. By thi-- :nLans a
gi;od part of his Men were employ'd abroad wh lit he
wanted (as it appear'd afterward >JthcirAdIilancc at home.
But now the Plot was re.ady to have been pi t In a general
Execution; and fomc of the Confpiracy were loire .a-
board Sr .;i/c j.i's VelTel, pretending a Complement from the
King.but indeed to fall upon him ; and wanting only to fee
the defired Sign given ; which was a Smoke that was to
be railed in a certain place : But fome of thofe in the
Toivn, not having Patience to (lay for the Sign, began
the Charge upon Sci/.icn'.i-i Men thnt were there ; which
being eljMed by the Watch at top of the .Ship, S.:jucnn
prefenth arm'd the Men he had with him, and lent a fmall
Party to help them that were engaged afhoar, whilllhim-
klf. with the relt, fo warmly plied the 1\Ui/i.:.ti Ships
with their Ordnance, th.at they were glad to fly out of his
reach .ts fait as they cou'd. Of S:;]ucr:r\ Men there were
40 that were kill'd allioar. and more t.iken Prifbners. Af-
tcrthis, having inform'd his Countiy-nu-n of this Piece of
Treachery, and left it to them to chaftize the M.^i'.ccav:
for it, he himfelf went diretitly to the Cape of Go.A Ihpc,
and fo home to l.iii-r.

At la(t, to ;Mt an end ro the Sulitiulc, a ^eriain riiani
nf the Neighboiiripg I*a!i';. ran.c iijitogaethema Vilit :
A bri^k. )oilv, frcjlickfrme l-ellow, \ery merrily dilposil,
(inging and (lancing all the way as he can.e. Brmg fot
to the Haven, he It ood there, and threw Uuil iip'.n his
Hf-ad ; wh chthcy obferving, fent foin ailioar to hiiii ;
who making the like .Sil-'ns of Peace, i pon that All'urance
hccanie along with them to the Ship.witli. utany thing of
fear or fcruple. His Bulk and Stature wfis Inch, as
would lalilv allow him tlie Chnr.iiifer ot a C/ant ; the
Hcridof oncof their middk-'iz'd Men reachd bit to his
Waitc, and he was projiortionably big. His Body was
fornidabiy painted all over, vfpui.'lly li:s H.n.c ; liere
^i"on'ofh'im were a couple cfStaggs di'.wn, one npon ea h Check,
ar 1 great red Circles aboe. hi^ Fits. llr. Co!i urs were
otic wife moftly yellow, only h.s Hair w.-:S done with
wh te.
For his Apparel, he had the Skin of a errain Bcaft,
clumiily lowed together ; but a Beaft a> itiange as that
was that wore it; every way un.irciiintable ; neither
Mule, -Horfc, nor Cair.el ; but foiiieih'fg of every one ;
the Ears of the hrft, the I'ailof thelecoi d, and theShaix:
and Body oi the bit. 'Twas an entire Su'', all of one
piece from Head to Foot ; as his Brealt and Back were
covvr'd with it above, fo his very Legs and Fict were
wrapp'd up in the fame beneath. The Arms that he
brougl't with him, were a (font Bow and Arrows ; the
String of the former was a Gut, or Sinew, of that mon-
fVrous Bealt ; and the latter, inftcad of Iron-heads were
tipp'd with Iharp Stones.
The Admiral made him Fat and Drink, and he en-
joy 'd himfcif very comfortably a :vliipboard, till he hap-
ren'd to peep in a grca' Lookinp-Glafs, that was given
him amongit other Tritles. This put him into a Fright,
that he could not eafily recover from ; the difmal Face he
faw there, ifar'u him iimtc out uf all Countenance and
Courage ; and he flatted back with ftith Violence, that
he tumWed a coupie of the iM-n that itood by h:m, to the
Ground. This was aSign th.it he was ihroighly and el-
fedlually frightmd ; but no doubt, the ih'...n that appear-
ed to him, will be thought fufficicnt to do it, if the fore-
going Dcfcriptioii be well conlidered. A Pair of great
Stagi'S with branched Horn.s, and the flaming Circles
dravvn about the tycs : Wbat Hobgoblin coud have a
worfe look than this •■ A l)a:mon's Face, in a Vizzard
Mask, with a Set of long Teeth, and a Nofe of half a
Yard, could not have more pfjwer over the Imagination,
and give a Mar, a worfe Shock of a fuddcn, than luch a
fight. However, th s Giant far'd fo well amongll them,
(nctwithltanding the Fr.ght by the I.ooking-Glals) that
quickly after they had the Company of more of them.
Particularly one came, and made himfcif mighty fami-
liar, carried it pleafantly, merrily, .ind vVith fo much good
Humour amongit them, that our l'.i.r perm were almolt
(at kail as far as they cou'd be) pleas'd with his Compa-
ny. He gave them a light of one of thole Bealls, whole
Skins they fo frequently wear ; but we have nothing of
any particular Charadcr of it added, to ji.llihe crdif-
prove the former Surmifes about it. 1 hey taught him to

which was (if duly conlider"d) an .AA of great CI ..rity :
For theic Giants, they fay, were horriivly pclter'd with
Apparitions, and lo wanted a Sett of proper Words, to
bid Defiance to tht'lc DilhirlKTs of thcr Quiet a. id Re-

circuuneiii them by .Stratagems, and cheat t'.iem of then
Liberty, when they had not (as far .is appears done any

Hands with Toys, and little Th'ngs, that pleas'd them,

Bv this Account they doubted not, but this Ship wasln"'-"'^ '
Tcr/ .;;;-,/'s Admiral ; lo difmiiring tiic y.tpone/e Veflel,
they went on, a.id palVd the Line a third time, failing in
no little fear nor danger, for want of a Pilot, and too J
Chans.
The 1 6th they took a Junk of ?«,, and in her a skilful
Pilot, who came in gocxl time to lave them from Shln-
vrcck, which oihcrwife, in all likolihoi d, had beenthe;r
l-.irc in thof" Se.is : For now tlie> liad but one Author

The iSth they came to Jon.m, upon the Iflc of 7<ivu
where they had News of ihitch Ships at Batuam. The
City conhfts of about a Thoufand Timbcr-Houfes ; they.rfw
King commands a confiderable part of that end of the
Ifland, and had lately conquer'd BM.w,buav, a little Ifland '■^■"^-'
that lies jull by to the South Eaft of Jortan. They arc
faid to be Mjlxmetjm, all the Country hereabouts tho"
the Firtdj in ufe ftill, feem to argue fonic kind of mix-
turc of the old Iniii.in Supcrftitiori with that of M.ilvmet
or at Icaft a I'olcration of it in the whole, amongft thc
common People. 1 heir chief Prielt is an Old Man of
110, who has a good round Family of Wives; and whe-
ther it be upon a Religious, or any other Conlidcration
if the World does not bcly him) the mortiticd Old Mari
lues on nothing but the Milk which he fucks from his
Wives Brcafts : From whence 'tis plain, that fome Care
IS taken by thele pious Women, to keep a Supply ot
Milk in their Brealts ; and (ince there arc lb many of
them, and the Circumltanc ■>( the Old Pricft's Age are
fuch as they are, 'tis probai..^ fome of his devout Bre-
thren, and his Wives, do joyn together, to keep him from
ftaning.
Sailing hence, they fawagreat Pon,i^^„r~e Ship of 6co
Tun, fet faft in the Shoals ; (he was going to .imbo.nj,
upon a dcfign of cngrolfing all that Trade to herlclf, and
fo was very juftly Itopp'd by the way.
P-irK4y the 5th, they pafs'd the Streight Isctween B<t. g,,,^„
hmha, and BM>, and leaving Jav.t North Fall from ma c^,'
them, on the nth they found thcmlclves in 13 Dcgr '""K'"
South lat. and then diredted their Courfc to the Cape of
Good If'pe.
On ' e 1 8th, they had the Sun Vertical at Noon, be-

Uir.h the nth, they came into 24 Dcgr. 45 Min. and
the 14th into 18 Degr. i o Min.
W/>.iVthc ift they made 30 Degr. ^o Min. And ihc
1 9th, (having been conlldcrably retarded tewccn crofs
Winds and Cahns) they were forc'd to ttint themfdvcs in

But the 14th at Night, thev faw a Light like Fire .v

Guns, (hattcr'd Men and Canoes at that rate, that they
were forc'd to retire, with the lofs of 11 or 1 j kill'd, and

of them but what had fomethmg odd and llr.inpc, either
•as to the bipnefs, or poli'ion of their L;iiibs ; but then
the Strings of Hogs-teeth, that hung aU ut their Necks,
and their perforated Nofes, with Rings fallen'd in them,
together with Ihort frilled Hair, and very ill Fares, all
put together, wou'd have olfended an Eye not extremely
curious. Neither was the beauty of the Houfes much
greater than that of the Inhabitants, being all mounted
up upon Stakes, 8 or 9 Foot from the ground.
The 9th, A'lt' hit'idlem, they .'Vnrhor'd in a more con-
venient Bay, at i£ Fathom, in a Sandy bottom mix'il
with Clay. There were two Villages of the Indiam that
lay near the fliore, from whence fome of their Canoes
brought Hogs and Coco's, but held up Ixith at fo dear
Rates, that there was no Bartering with them. And now,
tho' they had SaiI'd lb long by this New Land, yet they
were ftill unable to refobe themfelves whether it were
Nf w-GhiV/i or no: Their Charts did neither agree with,, ^
one another, nor the Land they had in Profpc5i, which JJhJ^j!^,
for the moft part run N. W. & by W. foinetinics more tit.
Welterly, and fometimcs again mure Northerly ; yet for
all this Icruple, (which they cou'd not remove) they ftill
held a W.N.W. Courfe, along by the G)all, with a
quiet, tho' dull fort of Weather ; and to by the help of the
(iream, that fet them about the Welt, ( as it does all along
that Coalt} they made 1 degrees 58 minutes, the 1 tth at
Noon.
The ijth and 14th, they kept Sailing by the Coaft,
having fometimcs very high, and at others very tow Land,
bcfide them.
The mh, mirfuing the fame Courfe, they rcach'd
two low Iflands, about half a League from the Main-
Land, about 1 degrees 54 minutes S. L. Here they had
good Anchoring, trcm % and 6, to 40 Fathom ; and fee-
ing the Country well ftorcd with Coco's, the Boat and
Shallop, well provided for an Attack, were difpacch'd,
with Oriiers to Land and get fome : But the Inditmi, it
fecms, had obferv d them, and accordingly prepared for
their Entertainment when they Landed ; and they gave
them, perhaps, the warmeft Reception, with their Bows
and Slings, that ever they met with, woimding at leaft
i£ of them, .ind forcing them, nocwiihftanding their
Muskets, to retire.
The 1 6th, At.n Mcidictn, they Sail'd in between both
the Iflands, and Anthor'd at 9 Fathom, in a very good
place. The fame Day they Landed upon the leiTer Ifland,
burnt fome of the ludiant Houfes, and brought as many
Coco's as made three to every Man's Oure. The Barba-
rous People beciiiie more gentle, and good-natur'd, up-
on this Treatment, for the 1 7th they came to make their

Of the prjl Englilh Voyages to the Eaft- Indies, before the EJia"
hlifhment of the Faft-lndian A'onVo'. 0/SJgheImus, Man-
devile, Stephens, Fitz, and other Engliih-mens Indian
Voyages and fourneys.
WE have fcen the Ships of the moft Cele-
brated Nations of hUiiope, piercing in-
to the rcmotclk Seas, and tra^crlinp
the unknown Fans of the Glo'ot. We
have followed the Spjnijh, F.iiglijk, and Dutch Circ\mi-
Navtgators, through all the Parts and Stejis of their fcvc-
ral Voyages, and at laft ftcn them put lafely into their
own Ports.
The Brave hUgliams, the Renowned Drukf and Cati-
dijh, I'.tn Ncrrt, Spillierrer, and Schutcn, have drawn the
lines of a Coiiipletc Na\igition before us, and mark'd
out our way through the Nonhcrn and Southern Hemi-
fpheres.
But leaving them with thofe fcveral Charaders of Glo-
ry, which their Difcovcries have defervedly fix'd upon
them ; we arc now to enquire into the Performances of
cihers : Which x^C :hcy don't reach the Fame •£ thofe
lirft U;fcnvcrics,havc yet been of as confiderable Advantage
to tbi.:rrcfpedlive Countries, as she others to the World
in f;cncral. 1 hofe that have open'd the rich Mines of
C,;(iw», thai hav:: brought the Spices of the Mies, and the
Ji-wcls too, with the coftly Drugs of the Happy /tmbiii,
to their own Ci untry ; ha\c made themfelves worthy to
be taken Nraice of, tho' they have m:t found out any new
Landi, nor furvcy'd the mighty Glolie from one Pole to
the other. And what other Nations have attempted of
this kind (and how rheir Diligence has been rewarded)
their own Hiftorics mult tcltifie to their Prail'c ; but we
ha\c now the Performances of the i-nf^tijh Nation, pecu-
liarly lying before us ; which how pion:ab!e and fucccf-
fiil tiiey have been, the following Book will in fomc mca-
fure difcovcr.
'Tis true, that fincc the tftablilhment of the Etiff-
J/.'./m« Company, xnOs^c^n KH^neth's time, the /i<i//fi«
World has been more ccrioudy fcanh'd and the Advan-
tage of a t "rrcfpondence with it more cffcAually proved
by ExpericiKc : But that Society did not make the firft
ErgVjh Traveller, nor introduce our firft Convcrfewitb
Foreign I'aits.
Sightimm {a) Bilhop of Shiretum, in Kiog ./*ifr'<fstime,*lrtrtii^i
was fent by that devout Prince, imo the Balt-iiJia, toTnHiM
vifit the Sepulchre of St. Tkonui, by whoTe means the**J; |
E<igi:p} Nation had an early View of^the Riches of thofe (^^Jjii
Countries, i.i the Spices and Jewels which the Father <•<¥» Hi
brought back with him, '*V'- '
And after that, another (i) of otir Nation, travelled (*> **■* i
almoft over all the Bafiern World, bearing the Tjr»«r/ ^p „.j
Company, in their many famous Expeditiom. There*!
no need of mentioning Sir John Mtndcvit, and his snany M-j-a.
Years Travels rhrougb the EnR, fincc they areewanti^'^
wrinen by himfelf, and the famous Geographer OrteUu,
And in thofe times, while the Holy War was maintain'd
againft the Sanumi and Titrl^s (in which we know the
Etiglifh had a leading part), there's no doubt but fcveral
of them being drawn thither, did vifit other parts of the
£4ff befides. Btat even in Queen EU:{abtih'*iaDt, before
the forming of that Society, there were fevenl Emiift)'
men that perform'd very confiderable Voyares,

In the next place we may reckon thofe Englifh-men that
accompanied the Dutch, in fevcral of their Circum-Navi-

hrer, po)fon'd the fot.rth, tli:it h.ad given them the firil
Information, when they c.ime liack to J'hyu i(.',r.
Being come thither, thcv g.ive the Govetiiour an .Ac-
conn of their Adventure art >,'m ; that I.S, as much of it
.is W.I s for their pirpofe to difcovcr. They fworo they
had found no more 1 reafiire than what they then came to
tell of : And that ihcy were forc'd to kill three En^lijl--
mrn in fight, before they cou'd come to be Mailers of
that.
rhey laid their Plot as deep, and inanag'd it as cua-
nmply as was pollible : li wanted no help of Lying and
Perjury ; no A.rdtance from Subormtion, Che.it, and
Forger/, but \s hat it had inahundai.ee; never any Plot
had abetter Title to the Dcv il's Protcdion, for the big-
nifs ot It, than this ; bccaufe he never had more Concern
iC Spt* in any . But all wouM not do ; and the fiirviv ing En^lifk-
for't ; But he might have been more Ci\il in his Expref
fions : For /.i ;;./:«. i .md i'/.i'.- were then at War ; and thi
Robbery w.is no more, than what nil N.ations in the
World do allow and pradice at fuch times as that. Al-
ter this, the i:}giilh Fleet u as fo peitcr'd with Sicknels,
that (.as he relates) they all died to four ; which Small
number of Survivois, put thiinlelves, with all their valu-
able Plunder, into a Boat, and to came to the Ifle ot Z >;.
j(, three l^eagues from I'vn /<. c,', from whence the Letter
was dated.
But what became of the three Ships, or how theic
Men bound for the Ei'.st-bi.iia, came to wander to th.at
llland in the Wcst-liidlei, is left wholly in the dark ; the
Ixfl way is to make a Miracle on't, and fay. lh.it they
were brought in there to be punilh'd for the Sin ot Rob-
bing the Catholuk Ships.
^VIu■n they were come to 1 'tin, they brought all their
(joods alhoar ; but liv'd, it lecms, in very ill Circiim-
Itanccs there, and hardly knew how, or which way to
diipolc of then lelvcs.
Going firm thence to Porto ({ieo, for a Supply of Wa-
ter, thcv left one of the Company behind them at that
place: vrhether by chance, or out of IXi'gn, is uncer-
was the nicnns of their Ruine. He made a fliift to
Iwim a-llride a Timlxr-'og, from t-'n',/. to Wrto t{n- , and
there dileovcr'd at large the Vertuesof thofe good Catho-
licks, who had murdeiM his Cumpanions, robb'd their
King, put a trick upon the Government, forfworc them-
I'eh cs to lultily as ihey hail done ; and after ail. had Brafs
enough to Hare the lividence m the Face, am! deny all.
At leall they denied the molt material Particulars of the
Fad; and as they began with 1 ying and Perjury, fo
they went through-ltmh with their Bulinefs, Lying and
Swearing on tothecnd of theCliapter.
The Governour laid them in Irons, till all the Proofs
that ron'd be pick'd up, were btought in aeainll them ;and
fome of them not thinking ht to lie there in Prifon tilltl'at
time came, broke Jail, and left the Governour, to look
his Pnlbncrs where he cou'd : But whetiicr the Villains
fell into the Hands of Jullice, and were liang'd afterwards
or no, is not woiih ones while to enijiure. However, this
pallage is fuflicient to alfure us, that the Qu'.r, s 1 etier to
the King of (//((.j did mifcarr) ; and iliis iirit Fleet ler

■\t his return he biought a Boat-load of Pepper along

our N.ition to our own bacc, and therefore to be I'ure diil
not fpare it behind our backs. Our Merchants went .1-
Ihore with their Wares, having a Houlc prepar d by the
King's appointment.
Not long after, the Captain being at Court again, the
King dilcov.'r'd the treacherous Dfligii of the I'onwitcie
to him ; but gave him a lure Promile to Hand his bnond,
and never to I'utl'er any thing to be done bv them, or any

During the time of our (tay at Achen, wc had gotten
140 Tun of Pepper .iboard our .Ships; but upon the Rii.

The Siiil of this Illaii>l S'.'/m :"■' !« very rich and fertile ;
it produces variety of excellent Fruits, but no fortof (irain
but Rice, of which they make their Bre.id. Here are
Mines of (lo!d ami Cupper, precious Balms and Gums,
Rubies, Sapphires, and darntts, with many other valu.v
blc Commodities : Particularly Pepper grows here in fiich
plenty, that they are able to l.ade twenty Ships every Year,
and might many more, if they were indultrious. It grows
like Hops, from a planted Root, which by degrees winds
it felf up about a Pole, till it comes to a great Bulliy
Tree. 1 he Pepper hangs in Chifteis three Inches long,
and one about, each Clufter ha\ iiig torty, or more. Corns
in it. Bclidcs thcfe Mineral and Vegetable Productions,
it affords plenty of rcrviccaWc Animals, as Horfes, Oxen,
<.oats. Hogs, Flephants, BufflvS; which laft they ufe in
the Ploughing their Ground. All thefe Advantages, toge-
ther with a \ ery W'holfomc and temperate Air in molt
places, the fwect Dews, and fruitful Showers, that never
fail to cool and rcfrcfti the Ground, do make the place ve-
ry charming and dclirablc.

together with It will content themfclvcs with a fliort and

liisdellrcto trade with them for Cattle. But it being

was fire'd to ufe the l.'niverlal l.angtiagc of Bfutcs,

pieces of Gum upon fome of our ignorant Conipaiiy, iii-
Ite.id of Arnber ; and con 'd they have counierlcited the

do to perfwade them, they wou'd none of them come a-
Kia id our Ships. '1 heir Priefts wear afore of (trcight
Cloths, that are inade, as it were, for a Cafe, juil to en-
clofe tluir Bodies, and no more : Their Faces arc painted
green, bl.ack, and yellow, and they have a large Pair of
V rooked Horns upon their Heads, that arc colour'd in
like in.anncr, and a long Tail faftncd on behind, which
hangs down between their Buttocks. They fay, that the
Devil appears in this Urefs to them at their Sacrifices, and
therefore that the Priefts, who arc his Servants, arc ol»-
lig'd to cont'orm thcmfelvcs to the F.xampte and Hiiimur
(if their Matter, let him appear how he will. This Illo
affords extraordinary Timber for Ship-Ma.'ts, the Trees
being fo large, tall, and perfect ly lliaight .ind even, that
they are unexceptionable for thole Ufes.
But there is a Vegetable here, which tho' not for any
known nfe, vet for its ftrangcnefs deferves equal notice
and regard : 'Tis a little 1 Wig, which rifes up amongft
the Land by the Sca-fidc, and by degrees grows to fiicli a
bigncfs, as may m.ake it be rankd amongft the fmallcr
lort of Trees. If you offer to pull it up, it contraifls it
fclf, and Ihrinks down into the Ground, unlefs you draw
fo hard as to prevent it. But it you force it c]uite up a-
Ixjvc Ground, you tind a great Worm lying at the lower
part, and fo clofely tinited to it, as if u were a real part
of the Vegetable, and conllituted the Root it 111 f. Tis
matter of Experience and Obferi ation, that in the fame
proportion this Worm grows lefsand lefs, the Plant grows
bigger and bigger ; and that at laft, when the tormcr
fecms to be entirely confumed, the latter l)egins to fpread
into Strings and Fibres, and roots it t'elf hnnly in the
Ciround, drawing in itsNouiifiimcnt by that Aj fiii.it us of
VefTels, in the fame manner that other Vegetables do.
But which is moft ftrange of all ; if when its grown to
iraturity, you ft rip oif all the Leaves, and the outwanl
Cortex, and fo lay it a drying, the etild of it will be an
abfolute Petriacntion ; and intlead of a Stick, you Ihall
liai e a real Stony Body, hardly to be diftingiulh'd from

when the time tame, upon a priNate Intellgence from the

and co.ninanded them back to Jc'™ in the King's Name.

Were opf n'd, but the thief Prize, the Intriguing Letters
th.it concern'd the htrlijh, were cither loll in the Hurly-

Now the Year had pals'd over us as far .xs '^rptemh','.
anvl cur AJmiial began to think of putting to Sea ugain,
111 order to accomplifh hi'; m.iin Bulinels. Bi.t hear-
ing that the p.irihjuic:; lutibaflador had his Dllpatch, to
be gone in a very' few Day s, (and it being on ftvcral Ac-
counts expedient, th.it wc it.ou'd be out at Sea before
him: he wtnt to ciitreat the Favour of the Kingtoftay
him for foir.e time.
■J he King, who wns always very c.ilic of Accef;, anJ
r.adv to grant any Kequelt ot the Admirals, receiv'd him
with a great deal of pcod Hr.iiiour, and pleafan: Jokes,
upon what had palt with the I'^itir^uc^,; and at lalt told
liini merrily, 'I h.u h; wou'd do what he dclircd, upon
C'ond.tion, he wou'd bring him a fair Portii^nc-c Girl, tor
I Prcfe 1, at his Ret. rn. .So taking leave of his Majefty,
o.(/,- the Ihird, we defcried a Sail, and ilurciuon

Wc took poUellioM by four of our Men. whom we lent
abeard aswellto fcciirc her, as to prevent the pill.igmg
and rilling, which is very common upon thefe CXi.ihons,
and unavoid.ible, when a Rout of common S.iilirs comj

Packs ot Calicoes, Pint.idcs, and a great deal of other
Merchandice, belides Rice, and things tlut \st nadc lit-
tle account of. And now we were cas'd of that care and
fe.ir that was upon us, of returning home with empty
Ships ; and our greatcft concern, as the cafe Hood, was
more for room to bcftow what we had getter, till the re-
turn of the Ships fiom l-.nf^hnj.
OfUl'er the "Twenty tirft, wc fet fail out of the Strtighr

almolt as if a gre.it River pour'd out of the Clouds into
the .Sea; it puts the Ocean into a violent Ferinenr, and
makes it loam and boil again, with the exce'Ilve Irr. ra-

linp ; and Ihou'd they light of a Ship, tluv wou'd mf.il-
Ibly link it. Rut we happily cftap'd this W'alh, iiid pro-
ceeded in our Voyage to ./ I cr.
_OdJ\-r the Twenty fourth, we came fife into the Port
ot .(./ w. where we found all our Merchants, and theii
Affairs, in very good Ci.cumllanccs ; and that the King,
according to his Fngagement, had been a faithful and
careful Guardian to them in our abfence. And ro make
Ionic .'Xcknowledgincnt for this his Favour ro us, the Ad-
miral chofe feveral things out of the Prize wc had taken,
fueh as wc imagin'd wou'd be mo(\ pleating to him, and'
prelemed them to his Majefty, with his humble Uelirc
they might be accepted, as a Teftimony of ourGratiiude ;
This \yas highly obliging to him, and he cTprc fs'd a great
dcalof Satisfaiifion, not only inthcPrefent it felf, but in
the occafion of i: too, our Succcis aga nit the Poiiu-
We had not been here long, but our Admiral gave Or-
dcis to bring all the I ading of Spice fwe h.id; aboard,
and to make ready for our going to Bantr.w, where we
were like to meet with a far greater Return of Pepper,
and at more reafonabic Rates than wc cou'd buy it at //-
i/j.-j-. So going to Coun, to take Leave of the King, af-
ter a long Conference, the following Letter was deliver'd
him for iicr Majelly, written in the /Ir.il/ick^ 1 gngue.

and at the end of every Praver, they ring a little Bell.
The Altar is furnilli'd w:ih Howl, andlcveral forts of

nothing by Fire , but cenain pieces of painted Paper,
which ihey value at a g.-eat rate.
There are many of them pief.y well feen in Alfronomy,
and keep a regular Ai..ount of their Years and Months :
But they have no DiltinCtion of Days amongit them, as to

^^hcn they lay the Foundation of a Houle, or Itrike I'oiiu"

Ground, and the Sacritiees which aivoilei'd in the begin-
ning of the Drama. Beliiiis the un.al time for .Ac'tiiig

cr any thing they are iruH

fevcic in tins Cafe ; for the Credinr has Power, not only
over the CJiihK, but
Debtor, whoiii he may fell fir Saves, if he pleales.
.As foi iheir Religion, 'tis very haid to lay whai .t is ;
and any t iher thing, relating to ilicm, is fooner account-
ed fcr than this. Tin y have Teniplis aniongll ihcin, but
they ferve mure to ad< rn the Ciiv, than any thing clfe ;
forthe itf^iulr very leldoni fee ihe inlide ot them, upiii

he cannot poliibly hurt thtin, they don't make fo many
Piavcrstohini, becaufeihe fear and dread of Evil, is the
main Ground of their Devotion. But as fi^r the Devil,
they fay he is ver) wicked and mifchievou.s, and ready to
do tlwm all manner of 111 Turns, and fo they lervc him in
their own defence, and by way of prevention. Tlicy
have fome Notion of JefusChrift, whom they acknow-
ledge to be a Great Piophct : But their greatelt Difcult
againft Chriltianity, is upon the account of its llrniH'ro.
hibition of PoUgamv, and theVieCS that relate to Wo-

The ufual Garb of the better fort, is a Tuck on their
Heads, and a fair Pintado al>0Ht their loins, and all the
rell of the Body naked : But loinetimes, upon extraordi-

or Chamblet, according as they can purchafe it. The
meaner People content tliemlelves with a fiat Cap of Taf-

'I'here is another fort of Cloihir.g f )nietiji,esusd by them,

niann.r, vet wmt oti at latl in a t'urpriring and un.ic-
cointablc wav, doing no other hann than liordiing the
Walls and Windows, and a little diUoluering it in the

Ill the time of this general Confulion, we were forcd

1 he Town
tail
ring Villains of the Country, aliiiolt, were got togciliei
.about us, waiting fi r the Fire to make a Breach, and ve-
ry ready to (hew it the way, by throwing Firebrands them-
lelvcs. And we had fo much to do to defend ourfelvei
from the Treacheries of thefc ralcally People , that wc
thought them ainiolt as bad a Plague as the Fire it felf:
They vyerc cverlallingly cither plotting new Mifehief, or
promoting fomc already begun ; wc had them continu-
ally iluttcring about our Houfcs, like to many Birds of
Prey abotit a Carkale, Ihll waiting for the gocd time to
fall on and devour us.
And then fo allonilliingly bold and impudent i'l the
Prof cution ot their lend Delignstoo, that noCreatiirc in
the World, I tlunk, can have more Brafs in the C'oniple-

Doors, and look upon all the Locks and Bolts, to fee how
Ihong they wire, and fearch abo;::, to try if they cou'd
tiiid apv Defee'ts; and all ilii-, before ourvcry Faces. And
bein ' thusharalVd as we were, what wiih continualPains
and vWarinefs, and Over-watching inour own Dcfcnie,
againll this barbarous Cruc, we contrai'tcd fevcral Di-
ftcmpers, particularly that cf the Country, which is the
Flux, and which two of us never rccover'd.

by the timely affiltancc of fomc of our Nation.
.\ little after this, wc loft one of our principal F'adors ;
and about the fame time, our Pinnace raiirn'd train her
fruirlcis and unhappy Voyage for the AJ.V;.. .-.it.
We were now torbid going on any further with il.e
Work of ourHoiife; perhaps, bccaufe the new Officios
that were conic into play .at Coun, had not yet Ixt.'i

7.n.-,« Birds fet Fire lo a Houfe juU by i- . ; but wc dilco-
vcrd it fcon enough, to prevent the intended Mifchiet,
and had the Ador of it laid dole in Irons for his pains.
The tri.th on't is we cou'd hardly cn er lie at reft, or do
any thing free from difturbame by thcfe People : "Iwas
ourCultomat Night, when we fct the Watch, to (iiig .i
Pfalm together, in which Hxcrcilc we had once like to
have had our Brains kncck'd out, and the Hi"'te it lelf,
as wc thought, Katdown, by .1 Company of thofe Rakes,
which were got together into a Yaal by us, and poured
great Stones lo fait in at the W'imlows upon us, that hap-
py wai he ihat cou'd get out of the way.
' Bi.tthey were not the only Inemies we had lo do with,
ftho' confulcring what larbarous ones they were, they
were bad enough; for we began to difiover fome under-
;-,rfiii> ofminiiig Practices of the lUll.ui.ics againlf usj who tho"
'■""'•" they cavned it with a fair Fare of Fricndlhip outwardly,
yet by lome falfe and degrading Stories whiih they rais'd
of us, niaile it manifelk , that thfy bore us no hearty
Good Will.
'1 he new Protedor too, pretended a great deal of kmd-
nefs towards us ; but he was a gre.it Madcrof Uiiiiiiiula-
tion .ind hlaitcry, and did it only to wheedle a Sum of
Money out ot iiv.
But neither did all thofe that wer-- Enemies to us, agree
very wtll amongil thimfelves : For a we and the j.un.i
were always at l).Tggcrs-dravv, lb did the C'/.i'i/c/.- and l.r
ii-.tii perpetually wrangle, and the Duch often Icuflle
with tlieni iHjth ; lo that between one lidc and the oiher,
I there was e\erlalting Scolding and Contention. 1 lio' the
\ truth of it is, the b t / , by their umivil Carriage, and
^ lotfe dilbrJerh wav of liwng, did procure themfelvcs
far more trouble and enmity than they neeJed to have
dune ; and at the fame tiiiie make the Chriilian Name
\ery odious ainonglt thofe Heathens, who ought to have
had better Hxampks of the Purity of it fct before their
Eyes.
But as if wc had not Plagues enough in J.ifo, and E-
" remies fuflicient to excrcilc our Venue there, wc had,
Seftcmber the Fifth, a new Sett that came from the Iflc of
Ltr^m Lnmfcn, in tha Strcights of StitiiU. to torment us. "Tis
linn ri 10 true, they came upon the feoie of the old Enmity and
' '■^^ '""" Grudge between them and the "Javmi ; but wc being
there at that time, had a Iharc in the trouble as well as the
rclt.
Thefe People are fo like the J.f.mt, that they are hardly
to I e known from them ; and this is an advantage to them
in their Ueligns of Mil'ehicf and Revenge, lime they of-
ten pal's for the Natives of the place, and fo fcape the Pe.-
nilhmcnt they wou'd otherwlle meet with : 1 heir way is
to get into the Hoi'fts, and cut off the Heads of all they
can light of, as they did by feveral at that time ; and had
a great mind to have had fome of ours too, at leait our
Goods, if not our Heads, tho" wc prcv cnccd them by our
: diligent Watch.
The Reafon why they arc for a Spoil of Heads fomuch,
is, bccaufe the King gives them the Reward of a Wo.
man, for every Strangers Head they bring him ; and the
Rogues do very often cheat their King in this fort of
Commodity, by opening the Graves, and cutting off the
Heads of them that arc newly buried. But the ^avAn
Women arc fo kind, as to fiipply them with fome of their
Husbands Heads fometimes, which they take the oppor-
tunity to whip off when they are aQeep, and they fell them
at very good rates to the Lnmfonti.
But our Milcrics and Dangers (like the Wa\esof a
ftormy Sea, rowling in one upo', the back of another)
were after a very fliott interval, revived again : For now
we were inform'd by fome of our Friends, that there was
a folcmn Combination made, for the dcftroyingour Per-
fons. rifling our Houfcs, and fwallowing up all wc had ;
and this not by the more fordid rakilh part ot the Country,
but I'erfons of Figure and Power, who had great num-
bers of Slaves to alfift them in the Defign. And accor-
dingly they did encompafs the Houfe, andmarch'd round
about two or three times ; but feeing the Illuminations
Wc had made, and the good Guard wc kept, they durif
lot make the attempt. However, being frultratcd here,
they turn'd their .'Vrms upon the Chincfe, and aflaulted them
with the Rage and Fury of lo many Devils ; and their
Houfes being at that time full of our Goods, we were ob-
liged to piotciif and Uand by ilicm ; and wc did :hcm ve-
ry good Service with ourGuns : For the finging of a Bul-
let is as terrible to a ?(«i en, as the Cry ot a Pack of
tlounds to a poor frightful Hare. But Itill, of all the A-
• moft fearing '
confounded u'
of Fire : The fear of it had made lucn an imprcilion up-
on us, that that very word pronounc'd in the Night, tho"
with a loft whifpcr, wou'd frighten us out of our .Sleep,
and make us run to our Arms. 'Twas fo common a Ca-
lamity in the place where we were, and had fo often thrcat-
ned us, that the horrible Idea was always frelh in our
Minds, and ready to prclent it lelf upon all Ocealions.
Yet tho" the '1 own was hred no lefs than live times in the
Iparc of three Months, and the 'jiw/ins play'd all the
I ricks imaginable, to drive the Flames down upen us,
Providence rdering it lb. th.it the Wind generally fa-
vourd us, we liap'd the Ruinc they plotted to incolve
uf; in.
But the fly and crafty Proceeding of the lUttcrJiri was .si^ Pnaictt
not the leait of our Troubles, under all the other ill Cir- ot iIk-'"'.'-
cumftanccs that attended us: For they having at their" '""
lirft coming into iliufe parts, made bold to ul'urp the
Name of i\n^J:/h-iiini, and pretending all along I ehind
our backs, that they were really of that Country, had by
that means fo poflcis'd the common People, that they con-
founded them and us together, and belicv'd us to be nil
one Nation. And by this means they run us into a great
deal of danger; f r they being generally of fo rude a Be-
haviour, lo apt to affront and abufe the Cointry Pei ['Ic ;
and doing all thi. under the Notion and Ch.ir.idcr of
En^l:P:-m;ii, thcv iiiteiis'd the Mobb aga.nit us to that
degref, that we had ^rcat reafon to feat, we fho.i'd tcel
the i'rilds of ilie:r Rage and Fury ; that we fl.ou'J
chance to pay foire of the Scores the) had contraiitcd ;
and that tho' the jiretcnded i:):!^::/l:-mcn had committed
the Climes, yet the true a-id real ones wou'd go near to
fuffer for't : For matters were come to that pals, that we
couVt not walk the Streets nor go into the Market, but
the People wou'd be M in an \iproar, curling and railing
at us birterly ; tho' all the while they meant the //c/'.:; -
Icrs, and intended all thefe coarfe Complements Rr
them.

upon this Miftake, fo induftrioufly propagated by the uivci tiora
HilUudcrt, and for ever to diftingui.'h our felves from •''"''•
them, Sm ember the Seventeenth, cur Qticcn's Coronation-
Day, we fet up St. George's Banner upon our Houfe, dif-
charg'd our Ordnance and Small-lhot, and raarch'd up
and down with our Drum, and the little Mufter of Men
we cou'd make, in Scarfs of White and Red Taffata.
The Reafon of this Ceremony we told to all the People
that came about us : And when they ask'd. Why the /•,>.-
glijh at the other Houfe did not do the like, (by whom
they meant the Dutch) we :old them. They were not E>:-
f^Hjk-mcn, but of another Country, and under another
fon of Go-, crnmcnt, and had abus'd both us and them, in
making thcfe Pretences they had ir.ade. By this ineans
wc were ever after diiliniflly ki.nwn from them, and the
People began to difcover pub>ickly their different Senti-
ments of us : Now ihe very Children wou'd run after us
in the Streets, crying, O.inl-ngrce, S.yl- , U't:n lUllmdtt
h.hnJ : Ihc V.ngHjh are good) and the Ml.wdeit (tark
naut:ht.
Our Troubles and Confufions were fo many, and fo
very frequent, that Trade went on but dully , and the
Year was fpent without any Matters of great Importance
done that way.
The Duich Ships came in and out fo often, that we
were oblig'd to make what haltc we could to buy rp all
the Pepper that w as good and falcable, which was not to
be gotten neither in any great Qjiantities : For the Chir.ejc Dwtk chat,
thofe honclt and fair-dealing People) had got a way of '='*.'''^''"
miiing Dirt and Water with th'-ir Pepper, to help fpin S"" bujU..
out the Commodity a little farther ; and this Tralhoffepper.
went off very well with the Diitcl , for they were con-
ftant Chapmen, and fo greedy of Trade, that they refus'd
nothing almolt that was fct to Sale. Let the Wind blow
out of what Quarter it wou'd, it brought fome Ship or
other of theirs for Pepper ; infomuch, that the People of
Bi-.ntam, altonifli'd with the Quantities they fwallow d up,
jceringly ask'd them. Whether they beat Pepper into the
Monar and Plaiftering of their Houfes, to keep them
warm, in order to fave Firing. But the treth on t is, a
Houfe may be heated, and that to a very offenlive dc- ^gcBtt of
gt ce too, by the meet Steams of the Pepper, where there's tiw Htit of
a good Stock of it : And we found by our own ty.rcri- Off-
ence, that feveral of our Men were very much diforder'd
In the hot fuffocating Fumes arillng from thence, in the
rioufc where we us'd to Mill and Shute our Pepper.
1 hus this Year pafs'd over us, which had brougJrt a-
long with it fuch a Train of Milcr.cs and Perplexities,
that one might reafonably ha\ c hop'd the Scene wou'd
now change, and Fortune look with a more favourable

The next w.is a crew rf Dancers, Vaulters, Tumbler-',
and Plaver'; ; at the Hee's of which advanc'd an Army of
Women', dilpos'd and led mi by fevcral grave motherly
oldSouldiers, whole bulinefs wa- to order the March,
and fee that every one kept their aiTigned Places. Thel'e
Women had their H.iiids all full of Prefents, but ftch as
were of an inferiour Ucgree ; for after them came all the
Rich aiid Noble Offerings made by the Courtiers, .and all
the Lords .tnd conlidcral-!e People of the Country ; who
always (fuch is the Culfom) prtfeni; the Khtg at the Ce-
remony cither cf a Coronation or Circumcilion.
The Party th.it brouchr up the Rear, were the Sons of
thofe great 'Men. that 'h.ul ma,de the Prefents drclfed
and .iner.dcd .-.ftcr the manner of the Cooiitry, to the
higlicfl Degree : if Pomp and Kravery.
'1 hffe young Nobles all came up to the King s P.agcanr,
and made their Reverencesto him, and then carting their
PrefcT.f. at is Feet, late down themlelvcs upon Mats
fpreaii upon the Grour.d forthat purpofe.
After this all the Mufick begins to ftrikc up, which is
intcrir.ixed with Icneral Volleys of Shot; and in the
mean time thcTumblers and Dancers perform their fevcral
pans of Adivity. and titc Martial-mea do all their Excr-
cifes before the' KinR. We alfo ( to comply with the
Cuftom) made our Prefeits to the King, which tho' t jt
fortherirhiicfsandcoftli.iefs, yet at lealV for the prctti-
ncfs and linrularity of it, was very grateful to him and
the Company, and it was brought .along in thisOider.
Firft march'd a couple of Javan Pikes.which were fol-

a rnrriagc a curious Pomegranate-Tree, taken up all en-
tire bv the Roots, and placed in a large h.indfomc Frame.
\bout the Roots were laid green Turfs of eanh, fo that
itiook'd as if it were fVill growing, and all the Branches
of it were laden with Fruit, ibme tul'.v Ripe, Ibme
Green, and lomcyet in the Bud. Amovft the Boughs

and notwithftanding their confinement c lirp'd as merrily

and fome furious Serpents, that look 'd as it going to feizc

For works r.f Ait ptcrtnted at tliis lime, there was a
Giant cf jc Foot hieli, and a horr.ble Devilof much the
I'ameliz.". _ *
But the mciV enrerraining Page ant of all, was that of ii" J"'''''*
a Ciarden, adorned with a!l Ions of Plants and Flowers ;
in the middle of wiiicli was a lovely PotiH, where various
Icirus of Filhcs were to be feen pla\ ing about ; and belides
this, all the kinds of Filh both great and Imall which arc
known in tliolij Countries were brought in, either in Life,
or the pit per arritit ial Rt pref.ntations.
.Afcr all thefe-Siiows were over. His Majefty was carri-
ed ( upon a Frid.iy, which is their Sabbath ) in his own
Pageant to ChiTcli, and thcrj Circumcized according to
tli'-'irway. And now 'twas time for Sport and Diverlion
to give way to Trade a^d Btifinefs which on th; fe Occa-
li^nshad been long ncglechd ) to be reviv'd again.
In order to which (very happily) our Admiral came in-
to the Road Ju > tiie i4th from his Mcl:nc.i V'ovagc, hiv-
ing gotten a pood quantity of Cloves towards a lading,
we n it much doubting in a little tiir.e to f,rnillih:m
with the reft. And we had gone on in 'he Courle of
Trade ro much better purpnfe than we afciwards did,
if loiiic unhappy Differences with the l):itc! had nntgiven.
us a Difturbance. Many times before, i]uavrels had rifen
between us, butthings never came to that lixtreniity that
they did now, and in which porture they laftcd good paa
of the time of our ftav at B-ntAtn. They cannot them-
felves charge us as being the Aggrcllburs, fincc 'twas
manifeft to the whole City that they themfelvcs were fo,

The fifft thing that gave occafion to our after rough ^^'11 '*/''*
handhngof :hem, w.as th» abufe of fomc of our Men, "
who came home bleeding to w, and by their Wounds
gave h.fficient Proof of the Violence the Dutch had ufed
towards tliein. I'pon this our Genera! ordered a fmall
Party to Arm themlelvcs, and go out into the Street to
give thole rude Fellows a little Coriedtion, which was fo
efl'eCf ually p,,rtoiiiied bv us, that tiie Streets were quickly
cle.ar'd of them, and they were oblig'd to retire to their
own Houfe. The Dk-.-A Merchants came C'l enquire into
the Reifon ot this Proceeding on our p.irt, but ur-
derrtandinp, that thcT own Men were the AlTailants,
they fccni'd to be calir, and we parted very good
Friends. But when this News came to Court they 8'-'"'"''° *"•

told that foir.e of the Dut^i^ Men were killed, Anfwer
was made again. It had been no matter if they had all
gone the lame way. Yet all this palTed otf, and the
Frleii Jihip and gord Corre'.pondencc between us was as
great as cou'd be iiciired. The n..tch Merchants in\itcd
our whole Company to a Dinner, and ro People cou'd
undcrlVand cne another better than we did. 1 he Qi:ar-

and I don't know but we came off as well as the Ix-ft
1 ords in 7.^!'.^. In Ihort the King accented it, he was
pleas'd with k. and tho' other things of lome value wcMit
along with it (as pieces of rich Cloth and Stuff, and Ca-

a Reputation.

came ihonly alter to do Homage tD his '^.ivereipn, and to
make his Prefents too upon the iVinc occalion. This Ce-
remony was performed with a prejt deal of State and
Magni'ticence on the part Kith or the King that received,
and the Kuig tli.ar did Homage. The Shows prefeiited,
were very ai'.reeable and iine, the Guards and Attendance
numerous, the Prefents coftiy and valuable ; but iome

Ipeed towards them, and making ligns to them to Hay ,
in the foremoft of them was the King of 'lei tuns hiiu-

Tcniatf ('who was by thismeans more beholding to is
than wc to him) that when he came al oard our Shi]) in
that horrid Fright the T>./(/.f Gallies had put him into, he
fl'ook and qiiiier'd ar a mo(t violent rate like a Ma.i th.ii

Rind, a very wholfunie Frnit. Bcguils, as big as Apples, Sosuik

thcfe, we oblervcd a fort of Fruit oPa dark yellcwiih Co-
lour, growing in Clultcrs ot feven or eight together, as
long and big as a Man's ringer, lomew hat foft and downy,
lower en I of them they liick a | ■1'"i having within the Rind, a Pulp of a fwcct and plca-
lant ta(f, but how wholcfoiiie I dare nor aver. But the
molt remarkable of all was the poyfonous Peans, grow- Poyropom
ing upon great Trees in the Woods, almolt like Beeches : B'""-
We took Notice of three kiiuls of thcfe, \ery d tfcr nt
from one another. 1 he firlHat,'',e and tall, bearirgaPod
like a Hean, whuh contains fn r or five fiuare Beans, al-
molt like the Seed of a Tamarind, inclo'.ed with a hard
Peel like a Shell, within which lies a yellow Kernel,
which is a very dangerous Po\liin, and v.s'd by rhc Ne-
groes for poyfoning their Uarts ; they call this Fruit Gvm/,
The fccrnd fott is Irts, the Pod crooked, of a verv thick
Rind, and lix or feven Imhcs in thebcnJing, and half as
ivuith in breadth, it enclofcs fii c Beans an Inch long each.
The third h.as 1 eaves like the former, but the Fcod much
bigger, Handing on a Itrong woody Stalk , thick and
mady, a little indented on the lides, nine Inches long,
and five broad, within which are five Beans longer than
the other, aad called by them ,Qu.-;;</rt i and thofe they fay
.arcalfo venomous.
Belides thcfe Beans, I have feen there Trees like Wil-
lows, which bear a Fruit like Peas-pods.
I'p further in the Country they have a Fruit, towhich Fruit CM,
they give the Name of Goln ; 'tis of the bignefs of a Wal-
nut, hard, rcddilh, bitter, jagged, and full of Corners,
like that, and ioclofcd in a hard Shell. This is a thing
mightily fetbvin the Country, and lervcs the two grand
pnrpofes, both of Moncs and Meat too ; neither have
they any other but this, which docs as well amongft them
as ("lold and Silver ir other parts of the World. The o-
Cloth alxiut their Walle
the Children Itark nakeil.
' The Men and Women do all in general rac? and pink
their .Skitis, in all parts of thei;- Bodies : They do it with
a great deal of Cunolity and Fancy, atid 'tis the only Or-
nament that liclongs to them. Their Fancy is not iiuite
fo g(.oil in the management of their Hair, The Men in-
deed have no cenain Falhion for theirs; lf>me wear it in
Turi's and Bunihes, oih'TS cut it away in feioral long
Paths and Roails, running this way and ih.it way, quite
I rots iheir Heads. .As tor the Women, they have but
one Falhion amongit them, and that is to cut it all ileer
oil', and keep it Iha'fdclol'eio the Skin : They pull oH'
.ill the Hair from their Fve-li>ls, and lile theii '1 ecih 1"
Iharp and picked, that I think they couhl go near tocnn-
tliier a U( n', and might ililpvte that point with I'oiue ot
their fcirr f otcd iJomefliiks.
'1 hey teed much I'pon Roots and Fruits, planting about
theit Hi;ufei, ("<ourds, Potatoes, Puinpions, Pjantancs,
and liiiiir.i Pepper : Herbs too are a part of their Fare,
together with Cockles and (.)\llcrs, which they get upon
the Koiksby ihe Sea-lide ; and conlidcring their Teeth,
may eat Shells and all, without the trouble of opening.
They have ai:b foine little Crops of Rice ; but of thi no
more ihan j'.lt what's necelfirv tor the .Service fif their
Families, and that lull by their I lorfrs loo. '1 heir Bread
they make of a litleSeed. or (Irani, they call I'ciit
miuh unlike the S'c<d 1 1 Winter-Savoury.
As for Flelh thc\ have very little of that, all the V'aric-
tiis of this k lul being only a tew H.-is, and a piece of
wild Veniton lomctimcs from the .\ioi mains, when ihev
can get it. Fiili indeed ihcv ha' c pie'ty gorid ftorc, and
the\ are ingenious enoiglr in Cor.tnvances for .■\ng!ing,
after their wav.
'To'.'.icco is as mrch loihem as half their F.ivclylu^od ;
and the Woimnarc as violent Smrakeis asihe.Men. 'Thev
piets the Juice <'i t of rbe leaves, when they are green
and frelli, and ilvn lay thciiia dry'iip upon aShcardover
the Coals, and fo rut them for ufe : For they intimated
by Signs to IS, tha. the 'Tobacco w.nild make liiem drunk,
if they tO( k it wi h all its Itrcngtli remaining in the
leaves. I'he Houlsof their Pipes are made of Clay, .ind
very large ; ami in thi
fmall hollow Cane, of a Foot .and half long, thio' which
they draw the Smoak : And this they are not contented
to Ui come only into thcii Mouth*, but they muft have it
down in their Stomaclis too, and fo drink Tobacco in the
Hrictelt Sence.
Their Towns tonfilt of .alioiit thirty or forty Hon I'cs,
et together all in a Cliiiler, covei'd with Reeds, and in-
doled with Mud-Walls, as our Hogltics generally are.
They have a Mat hung up inllead of a l/cor, a panel of
Billets laid en fs one another, and co\cr'd with Mats for
Bedltead .-nd Feailurbed ; and thcfe Mats are alio the
Hangings of their Rooms. 1 he Particu'ars of their o'hcr
Hoiifliold-ltutii is cjuiikly reekon'd up. 'l\vo or three
Farihen Pots, to keep Water, and boil Meat in. Item,
OneCiounltor tlv fc.chingof /'.I'm.VuWme, and another
for a Qiiaflinp-Cup. \':i>\ k few Farthen Dill.cs for
their 1 oblolly. (•<•/«, \ Basket or two to gather Cockles.
And Taltlv, .\ Knaplack naile of the Rinds of Treos,
to carry the Piovnnt, with Tol acii) and Pipes.
But their .Martial FiiiniLUie ought to come into the .Ac-
count too ; which is a little ihort Sword hamnier'd out
of a piece of Iron by thtmtelves, a Bow and Qiiiver of
.Arrows, headed with Iron, and poifoncd, or elfe a Cafe
of I.avelins pointed in likcmanner, and liimctimes lioth.
'Thev are a Itrong, big, well-made People, have tome
IT.are of Spirit and Courage tto ; and fur (o ride an Fdu-
eation as they have, toler.ibly Civil, and Well-c.arriaged,
They arc very honelt and jult in their Dealings, punilh

keeping tor the molt
part to their own Wives, of wh.om they are extieamlv
jealous.
Their Religion lies I'ometh'ng n:ore in the dark, anvil
ther way they make ufe of it, is by Chewing, whirhthey
do, mixing it with the Rind of a certain Tree, which
they are mighty fond of upon that account. One Man
; takes a mouthful, fucking and turning it about for a.
could not tee enough of it, to kr.'.vv what it is ; | inulti- while ; aixl then he puts it into the next Man'sMo"th,
"n whether they ilotheiufelvcs. It llems to bea Hotdi-,
potch of Chriltianity, Jidaifii, and Headienifm ; for
they have l'ii,(«^»f^,--Jelu ires aim ni;i\ them, and a Chapel ;
^et .ire they cirtumciled, a id keep Iilolsof WckxI in their
Houlcs ; \Vhich of thefe three is the pre ailing Ingredi-
ent in the Compolition, I know net ; onlv this 1 hnd.tlMt
the Jefmtcs have taught them to oblerve fomc Holidavs,
and gi\ en them at leall fomc general Notion of a Supreme
Almighty Being, which they leein'd to exprefs, by lift-
ing up t^ieir Hands to Heaven, and other devout Actions
of that kind.
1 Vfiodu li The Country yields a delightful Variety cf very cxccl-
kni Fruits, aiui thcfe Trees grow here wild, and by whole

lour too, wh(.n ripe, only iluy don't hang in Hunches as
Parbcrrlcs do ; but here and there two orthrec together a-
I'oet the Stalk ; their Name for it is Bmque.
The /'■«-• fpoken ot before, of whii h ihcv m.ike their
Hr.- 1, IS a liiiall (lender Plant like Grafs, the Stalk full
of 'iced, noteneloled many I'nnof Husk. Ihis (eemsto
be the ftme with wliai tlit i'wkj eall CiiJiUl, and the I'nitii-
^/if?', Tftm.l:.
The /'c.»»//.-'l ree is viry Uraicht, high, knotty in the
Rind, of a fo(t and yielding Texture within, wholly
without Houghs, except at the top, and thole rather bke
lo inan\ Kicds than real Boi'phs, being all Pith in the
infide, only rover'd with a rough Rind ; the Leaf is long
and llender, in manner ot ,Sworil-giafs, or the Ctli^mm
Flags ; .Tiid thofe Reedy Boughs on w Inch they itand, are
bcfet on both (ides with fliarp and Itrong Pru kles, lland-
inp like the Teeth of a S:iw, but much longer ; the Fruit
is abort thebignefsof a Chefnut, it being a tough, hard,
in(i]'id Kernel, inelofed in a much harder and more eoni-
pac4ed Shell, Itreaked with 1 hrcds on the oiulidcs ; the
People call the Tree it felf Td'tH, and the I-'ri'it Hele \
■which is indeed good for little, thn' they cat them rojft-
ed. When they draw the Wine ot this 'Free, they cut oH"
one of the Branches, with a Span of the Head, and ma-
king fomcthinR of an Ineilion, they faften the Mouth of
a Oourd to the Orifice, which in the (pace of Twenty four
Hours will be fill'd with a clear whitiili Water, of a
pratetul reliOi, and ftronp enough to make the Negroes
drufi'-.
1 ti.'!: nothing in thefe parts like the celebrated Plant
that ha> gotten the Name of Sen(iti\e : But here is a Tree
thai llittvs a Fruit, which deferves to be call'd fo, linceit
n-ally is fo without dilpute ; 'tis indeed all the bruit thi
T ree can pretend to, tho' not to tx^ iinagin'd the natural
rod genuine product of it. I'lu? Tree is limiethinp like a
\Vil!ow in make and (izc, but the Leaf \ cry broad, and
almolf asthick as Leather, bearing I'niall Knops like thole
of tile Cyprefs. 'I he Boi'ghs of this hang down a good
way into the Water ; tor they Hand nil about the Bays,
and ire cjuiie overtlown, as it were, by the Tide; and
thus together with the Mud and Slime that fticks to them,
the young Oyilersbred thereabouts faften on to them too,
and that in inch ^ aft numbers, that one can hardly fee any
thing almolt but long Ropes of Oyftcrs.

every Finger covered with Rings ; fuppofing all this, 'tis
no WTOider that the Men are poor, and want Money to
bu\ Tobacco, cfpeually conlidering that three, four, five
or lix of thcfe chargeable CreatiTcs fall to the Ihare of
one Man to maintain, or perhaps more, according to their
quality, for their Religion lays no rellrainr upon them
in that point. A Man had need have his Wives lent home
to him ready fumiih'd and riggd, and if there be no
other Portion in the cafe, hef Parents Ihould drefs her
at leall, or if the Husband mud do t at tirit for Cultom
he Ihould have the hbertv of emlreiling her afterwards
for Comenienry, and not pinih for want of Money
when his Wife has a load cf Silver upon her Back!
1 hey do indeed want a little lightning in thisSencc, tho'
perhaps they may want a Grain or two of a jull w'eiphc
in another.

And lince the Pcrfons here mcnrion'd, were fume of
thole that were then upon the Stage, when that remarka-

the Imperial Throne of Indi.t ; it may be proper to give
an Account of th.ir Affair, in which the Fortunes of fo
conlklerable a Country as this is, undcr-went a Change fo
very great andfurprizing.
The prelent f.'ic-f A/r^i//, is the Great Grand-Son of The Siorf
«;/..v- King of CM-ul, a l.-.rtitrlr.,: ; and as upon the Death "'^eft on"'.
of the mii:htv Tninerhir, that valf Empire had a great L, hyihe

that iheio.-,:? .\;, lu.'biulls lb highly of his Pedigree, and
alls himfelf the Cllf-lpripg of T,:m- i.-.nc ■ pretending too,
that he is the Ninth, in a dirciil Lineal Dcfcent from
him.
1 he Old h: U.th Kings making Oc'/v, for the molf part,
their Royal Seat, this li-'.-.i', with thirty or forty of his
Nobles difgiiis'd like h'.\c:,s„ came to the King Sf.n):-
■ Iri's Court, 't.s probable, either as Spies, or 'n order to
attempt lomeihing towards the Concpiell of the Country.
They were quickly ilifcover'd there by their Countananccs,
tho' the lih{:ni King h.ad them fullv at his difpofe, yet he
Ipar'd them, and gave them their liberty, upon Condi-
tioii of lUi'iu 's Oath, not to make War during that King's
l.de.
Ur.liir kept his O.ith while Secvuler \\\\\ : bat when
his Son w.as in the Throne, thinking hnnfeif then dil-
iharg'd from il, he f.'iit lla»h"xii, rhii .\.' ''h.'s (ir.iiid-
Fa'.her with a mightv Force, and Teiz'd upon the whole

But the Conqiierour w.as hardly fettled in his Throne,
before V oh, an ;W.>« Prince of the Royal Family, ttrak

Kingsl odgings, thevery Wallsand Ceilings are all over-

prodigally rich andfuniptnous in their pnportien. There's
a vaft number of (la'ely Piiflures hanging i p and di vvn in

The Wars lietween the Twr^i and Ptrfimi, put a ftop
at prefcm too to the Trade about Cundahar ; the latter
had laz'd the famous Citv of Taurn, and fpoil'd the Coun-
try abour, ftopp'ng up the Wells of Water, and laying all
waftc, to hinder the pnigrcfs of the TurkJPo Army ; uton
which account the Merchants were nonplus'd, and dared
not pals on beyomi Cnndijlif .
m of lla( ing given this Account ofjfmy Journeys to tliefe two
^^thcrpUiM principal Cities of Itirlia, with the molt remarkable Ob-
^^N«c. |j.j.^ jjion, (,(- ti^c f hijf places I vilitcd as I pafsM ; it may
"] bcrequifiteto fubjoyn the Charadcrs of fomc other Places
of Note and Fame in this mighty Country, which lie in
V the great Roads to //gr-r and Lniw, as they run from fe-
veral parts of the Kingdom.
From /.-i/w Northwards to C/ibul, arc few places of
great note or lignitiiancy : Siircroal, a fmall place in that
Ro.ad, has a Medicinal River running along by it ; the
Water loiiks not of the ordinary Colour, but red ; and
being drunk, has the Reput.uion of procuring a good Ap-
petite.
In your palling lictween I./iKr and this place, you may
take Notice of the Ponds at ll.ill'.iudJ/:! : No Drops of
Morning-L)cw, are, hi comparilim clearer and purer than
this Water ; brt the pleafanteft .SpeCbelc is that of the
Filh, u hieh have Golden Rings luing in their Snouts, and
may be very' ealily fecn with ihofe Ornaments playing up
and down, by reafon of the perfect Tranfparency or the
'A'.ater : This was the Ficlick of Hchar Sha ; who, it
f.eius, was refolv'd, that Ponds fo rare and fine, ihou'd
have Fill; every way as extraordinary.
C.i/'../ (the hrit Seat of the M_f«/'s Familv) is a large
and fair City ; but fccms to come Ihort of the Charaiflcr
of the Ihitely Cities of Indii- already delcrib'd.
'Tisreeki n'd between two and three Months Journey by
Caravan, from hence to Ciicur in 'I'ntn^y : This is a large
Kingdom, and the chief City of Trade in it is Tr.rch/iun,
or Ti-.rm.ui .w, fiom whence comes Silk, Porcelan, Musk,
Rhubarb, and other Merchandize ; but it comes ihither
from t'/'/'.rt. The Merchants always pitch their Tents
without the Gate of this City, and lie there with their
whole CargOj fending fome ten or fifteen into the City
to do Bulincls ; for the Tartars will not permit any great
Numbers to enter at once.
But to return from this little Walk intoT/srMry, to the
more fafe and pleafant Roads of hidin.
\o\\ go almoft direiftly Northward from LAlior, to the
fair and fniitUil Country oiC.^jJimcrc : The principal City
bears the Name of the Province ; a flrong place feated on
the River i).(/j<!f. The Country about it abounds with
Varieties of Fruits, Grain, Sat?"ron, and (which are not
to be torj'.ottcn, amongit its other excellent Prodiiiffs)
very tine and beautiful Women : Here are made aifo the
rich Pomberrics, which go up and down all /i/i/i'.i. Ihis
Country is cold, and tubjca to great Frofh and Snows,
in that part of it which borders upon I'.-.rinry : 'Tis fepa-
rated fioiu it by a Fence of Mountains, fo ftecp and rug-
ged, that no Caravans can pafs this way. Yet fome Peo-
ple a foot make a tliift to climb the Mountains, and deal
withtlie'i'<iiY.ij for Musk and Silk, tho' they are forced
to carry on their Trade by the help of Kngincs, letting
down, and drawing up their Goods to one another, from
the tops of the Precipices.
When 1 ii:ade my Journey to /^[jii, I went the more
dircd and ftraight way from Surt^'t', to that plare : But
there is another i<oad between thcfc two Cities, that goes
fomething more about to the Wclfwaid, and takes in theic
confidcraMc places not hitherto dcfcrib'd.
/ijmerc, feated on the top of a prodigious ftcep Moun-
tain, III engthncd with mighty Walls, "and a Fort almoft
in\iiicible. It thews feveral remarkable Pieces (.f AmI-
TlicToml. of '!"">■' l'>it tlic molf celebrated of all, is the Tomb of a
iiiJifi Hiu- famous /;/J;,.-w Saint who lies buried here. 'Tis vilitcd with

made to ir, Vows and Prayers lilK'rally ponr'd out over it.
fo great is the Reputation of this Holy Man aniongit
them.
1 he Great /:.■.' (Ti-, in a Fit of warm Afre(!Hnn, went
his Pilgiiiiiage liiiher a Fiot, from .;:;)<i ; the Walk was
at leatt fio Cd'e, but his Bulincls was uiyent, and the
Fa\oi:rgre,-,t that he had to ask. He was" at ihac time
wholly w'iihout Cliildren, and no profpcilt of tilling the
im.perialThione of i'.vV.Vi with rue ofhis own Blood, af-
ter nis IXeeafe ; and therefore to procure an Heir, he
took the probable tourfe of villting the Sepulchre of this
Saint. And it leeius it was to very gieat piirpole ; for
now in a little time three Princes came to Towr., and the
Seccellion in his own Line, was put out of doubr. The
prei'cnr, hiirg was one of the Fruits of that Devotion, and
apartofihc BlcilingofthcPilgrunage ; but little did the
old Prince imagine what a Blefling was put into his hands
when he came. Cou'd he have f(;rcfeen things, no doubt
(as much as he wanted an Heir . if he cou'd have had no
other, he wou'd not have trudBcd almoll loo Mile a
Foot, to pray for a Son that fliou'd afterward endeavour to
[end him out of the World licfore his time. However,
'twas upon this creation, th.it that Prince, to exprefs his
foy and Content, gave the Name of h\-npere to that place
now call'd fo ; and fet up a Row of ffarely Pillars all a-r
long tlie Way from /tgra to W//>/c»v, the place that had
been fo fortunate to him: At every Coll-cnd is one of
thefc Columns, and at every eight Cofe diftance, is a fine
Mohol ereifted.
v,ll"-'^[;P"'^'"''^' with the Buildings about it, is a very
Noble Thing ; 'us as rich and tine as a prodigal blind Zeal
and Supcrltitinn, might be fuppos'd to make a thine
which It declares the highelt Rcfpeit for. You pafs three
large Courts before )ou come to ir, the firft of which is
nc'aran Aci-e of Ground, and is paved with Black and
W hue Marble ; the others are proportionally large, but
the nearer to the Sepulchre, the more extra-. a^ant the
1 omp and Gloi;y of them. There is fuch an Opinion of
the San^ity of all thefe Pl.ices adjacent to the Tomb
that no Perfon dares walk here, but with a naked Foot '•
) ou muft be quite bare, or not pretend to tread any part
of thefe hallow'd Co'irts,
Proceeding in this Road, the furprizing Caftlc, or Fort"
ot (.d ,n lies in your way. This is call'd the Frontier of
the Kingdom of C,r,,nrt, upon which it l-orders, and is
torMrength it lelf almoft equivalei.t to a Kingdom. 'Jhe

that Wm docs afford Creatures of this kind, that are ve-
ry large : However, 'twas my good Fortune, to avoid
the Demonftration of the Truth of this particular Story,
in the actual hght of the Monffer it felf.
I omit the particular mention of many ftatcly Ruines
of ancient Cities, Walls, and Palaces, the Monuments of
liuiun Kings, .ind other agreeable Entertainments, to a
curious Traveller, whieh occur in this way ; and pafs on

ent Artihcers, for Carving, Painting, Inlaying, and Em-

MECrs. Thieves and Outlaws, which iiiav well be rec-

the worif Be.iltsol the numlicr. '
The next Neighbour of Note to this, is Cnmhy,
Grand Mart of <.,u'^mit. 'Tis a craeeful, fublta
well built City ; Hands by the Se.i, and has a
Trade tor all loits of Cloth, and r.eh Drugs : CM),i,r,.t
Cloths are a Coir.moditc well known, and as much va-
lued all over the Halt. It has a very large B.iv, but ex- n-.
treamlv dangerous, by realoii of the viokni Tide, which mu.
links abundance of Ships : In the Neap 1 ides there's the
lealt danger ; but it always recjuircs a skilful Pilut to ma-
najje a Ship hereabouts.

To begin with Cannomn it felf, which lies to the Eaft-
w.wd of /tgr.t, a large City, bnt nor like the reft of the
hiiiUn Cities, for proiligious Strength and Defence. Tlic
Gnygcs anciently took liis Courfe along by the Foot o*^this
City ; but now hat brokcti it felf a piffage through the
Valley fome four ("die diltant, lb that but a fmall Branch
of it now comes up to C.i»toi»,i, This famous River is
Th.rce quarters of a Mile breadth in its «wn proper Chan-
p.el here at this place, but upon great Rains fwellsio far
greater Dimenfions, and ovcrtlows the Valley for ten Cofc
about. It has eighteen Branches, and receives the Water
of thirty Rivers of tonlidcrable note. It produces Allcga-
tors in inch furpriring laimbers, that if it yields good Filh
in proportion, it muit be one of the richcfl: Rivers, in the
World.
Lacrtiuivf is a place cf mighty Trade in this part of h.-
AU ; but the cnief Commodities it deals for, are Linen
Cloths.
OuJ:r, a City of an ancient Charadlfr, the Scat of fome
cf the Poicne Kings, but much dcfac'd by Time and
Wars.
The Raines cf i(.ii:u7'.-K.7Caftle, comribure the largeft
Ihare of the Fame it has now-a-days. The Braniens that
live in thefe Ruines, record the Names of all thofe ln,ii,ins
that come and vvalh in the Rivei hard by. It feems 'tis

theri:'s a great Kck)''t from all paiTs of J;;A> for that pur-

maintain'd for fourl.acksof Year-;, which is3945co Years
before the World was iu.,de, a, curding to the Ewepcai
Chronology.
There's abundance of Gold got out of the Ruines cf the
CalUe ; but the place yields a Corr.modity which is fet
at a higher Rate than Gold or Jewels cither : It is the
A n« Horn. Horn of fome 3ca(V, but what 1 know not, nor the //;-
ai.ttts hardly thcmloUes; rlio' fome fiiy they are the true
Unicorn's Vlori). The more ordinary fort of them ax a
Commodity mightily traded for ar this place, the liiilUrn
apply them to the L' lis both of the Moufe and the Field,
n.akmg iiucklers,and I'evcral kinds of Drinking-Cups out
of thein.
In this Road to ^rwiporc, lies Bonnrce, the principal
hai fume that are confidcrablc : Trom hence come cr at
Qjiannties of fwcet-fcentcd Oyls, rich Carpets, Hang-
mes cmbroidcr'd w thSilk, and all forts of fine Linen.
Now to return back to ^, n from hence, by the way of Fr™ *-,

tis all an entire Forcft hither. The Caftle is rcckon'.l ona t'-"' \^ *

running on the South-fide of it. It may be guefs'd what
afttpendious Budding ic will be when perfected, when
tis told of It, that it did for many Years employ the con-
Itant I aboiirs of loooo Workmen, and hi.s of late Years
had more than 5000 engaged about it, and yet tlio' ic

tis ot lo ftiubborn a Nature, that 'twill live in fpire o*" all
tndcavours to deftroy it. It is a fort of a wild Fig-Trce
which having once rooted it felf there, wou'd continue
growing there, v'^ levcr Conrlcs were taken to the con-
trary : Takckvvay the Eanh from about it, ftock it up

or other which cou'd net be reach' J, wou'd lend up a
freOi Free ; and at this rate it held out, fo that feveral of
the Pi'MM Kings, and of this Family too, whotry'datit
were forc'd to give it ovi.r as an impoinWc Work. The

Ttritt'iu. not without leveral Grounds of Sulpicion that the chief
Men I hadiiitrulled in them, were guilty of a treacherous

Matter w.is, Tlut an a'.iloKitc Plot was fonti'd for the
betraying of them into thcH.mdsof the JV/^t^i/r-f by
M'.'cieiio-jrt, and the Pious Jcf.iitcs of his Club ; and the
"'^Rcafon why I was delayed fo long before I could have
. Orders to lade and difpatth, was. That the Veflels might
hit to go out jnft at that time that the Po fajw^f were
read) to fwalliw them »ip. And under this Misfomme
'twas in vain for mc to make Complaints, or fo much as
attempt to feek any redrefs. Shou'd I apply my fclf to
Mrciet'd-.vif He was the tiril .Spring and grand Author
of the Mifihicf ; and to ask there for help, had been
couning a Knave to right the Wrongs done by himfclf,
and bcpinp a PlailVer from the malicious Hantls that
gave thu Wound. As for the Pof^/.yif thcmlelies that
did the Injury, when I demanded SatisfadVion, I had no-
thing but fcorn and fpite, ill words and railing to make
me amends. Ir was :o no puipolc for mt to alledge His
Majcllies Authority and Commillion, by which 1 was
cmpowcr'd toadl in thofc pans, with the bad Cnnfe-
qncnccsof fuchAdtsof Hottility as thefe were in pro.
cueing a War b«wccn the two N-itions. For as tor His
^•'^ 'Tfer Miii<:'t'" CommiiTion they valued it not a Farthing, «nd
»'"v"sa! ^hc^ affirm'd he ought not to hai e fcnt bisSubjcds there
tijfiaion. without leave from the King of Pnn/^/?/, who was th'.
riphtfel lordof thole Seas; and then with all the ivSan-
ners .ind good Breeding peculiar to that civil People, they
exprefsd themfclvcs concerninf- my Prince at fuch a rate,
as if he had been indeed little better than one of thofeFih-
crmen if whom they fcardaloufly laid that he wasKinp.
This was their Character of the K«?''yfcMen, beci.ufe

( tho' no good one to them ) why the Euglijh Ihould he

But after ail tlicfe D.fSi ulties iin.ler the pood Coiubie^
of the V.ittf.yi, whoclear'd the way licfore ine, and did
Pie very faithful .ind loiiimendable beruce. I arrived
lately at B rf»r/>''r the ilicn relidenee i^f tli- Viee-roy of

thro' ninnv Uanpcrs and threatninp Mifehiefs, after near
a Months 'Irawl in the Pml'peCl of them.
My entrance into the City was not (nor could not it

l'»!' ' King; and wheiiasl h.id a Uelign to be imcij'nito ti.ra

purpolc I was receiv'd with uncommon Honours and
derive-, of Ril'pciif, fuch as 1 cou'd no way have concei-
ted or hoped for.
Mv Prince's 1 eitcr he received from mc with his own
1 H.inds, reachint; it out to that end a comlidcrable wav
' fi-'Ui the (bue'y 'Ihroiie he fate on ; and tho' an old
i Kna\eof .t] fuite tha' Itotd there bv to interpret it, pre-
ti tended to hiid fault v< i h ihi- Ityle of it as not refpedful
enouph, yet he h-.mfelf was very well pleas d, and took j
no noti'.eof what w.;s inlimiarcdby the llanderoiis Prielt.
Jn llurt h^ pn^telled in a molt filcinn manner that he
wou'd grant all the Contents of th-' King's I ctter. and
mi re too if it were demanded. That as he underltood
that .'.fr- (■/./.)»/ had alnifed mc, |i) he wou'd take care
I llinuld have Sati^tael'on, and fonie courfe flioidd be ta-
ken lo i>revent the like ill Treatment ( f me or any of my
Nation for thefutere.
.And in purfuanco of this, he prefcntly difpatch'd a
C'oiirierto that perfidious Minilter at Su .-t, gi\ing him a
c ItiiOt charge to deil Jultlv and Favour.ably with the /.'i^-
kthit nrilit/^;,.^ and as he valued his Favour, or pretended to :.ny
H'l''' Duty and Loyalty to him, that he ihould lakccarc to (liew
it, particul.irly by a puniftual Obedience to this Com-
mand.
But belides thefe Favours.upon the publirk Account,! had
the pood Fortune to enioy many very iipnal ones upon m\

hardiv ever be lit rell for MetTengers to bring me thither :

his IJelii'htr > lit and r.tlk n-th n-.eboth Night and day ;
and none had more of h.sCompany than I, except his
MiltieHes.
We went overall the " iuiiis of /iciv/ie, and particular-

that into the . f c':-hJ ■', a hieh he had heard foiiie ivports

'lis tfuc, this was better than Fighting and Wrangling
all that while ; and at tirll light ir .tppeais ftrangc, that
the Sfmittrds ihoiild Ik- guilty of fo much Civility and
good Breeding t wards the K ^':p\ whom they ufcd to

.*•'''■■"'' in this long Interval, they were concerting Matters a.
I'T^jBiimongftthemfclves, to fend then packing from thenu-.
/iW»«Vi They were refoK'd the fiiit^lifh (hou'd not Trade tlierr: ;

be made for their Difinillion, or fnch Conditions propos'd
in order to their thay, that they not lx;ing able to agree to,
might upon a Denial lie the more handfnmely turn'd otf.
Now this bfing the Cale, 'twas .as gooil to fall a Comple-
i.enting in the nean time, as not ; there's no Charge in
a few il.ittering Words, or a little dilfembling Carriage ;
but there's foincthing of advantage in it, beiaufe'tisa
compUat C(ncr for an ill and treacherous Uelign. The
Spf.itijrjs, with ail their Gravity ami Formality, tell our
Men, They cin't admit them to Tr.idc, till ijie Camp-
Malter has given have.
And why dtx-snot the Camp-Maftcr then determine rhe
Matter, and \.\) Yes, or No, plainly, without farther
delay ?
Why, bee.iufe he is comrivii^;; to do it more neatly and
gtmeilU ; that is, w.th more Sti,:ii'Jh Ceremony and Cir-
cumlocution : 'lis much tiK' better way to nuery and pro-
pofe, to ort'er .md tn.ike Condiiic us fiio mntri'r how im-

Now the Cireumitaiices of thefe Idands at that time,

their Ci umiiMlun wou'd never allow thnn to do, nor bear
them out in ; but upon th-.t Account 'tis to be fuppos'd
they m.ide the Pri'pol'al. In ihort. Captain MldMfto't^o
litively rel'ii-s'd it ; ar.d the 'J/vim'.ii./c at the fam ■ time de-

a pretty ConchKion. to be mlier'd 'ti with Inch a Train of

The pofture our F.H^/ifh-mr.H found him and his No-'

ror inttj the Mind of a Stranger ; They were Carowfing
and Drinking very hard together, and the Room all about
them was bcfet with dead Mens Heads. T'h .fe were the
Trophies of a Viiflory newly obtain'd, and they were at

with the warm Blood of their Adv erfaries. However, the
K't^li/h-m.in hiul no f.irther occalion for fad I houghts,
tlian what the horrid Speiilacle gave him ; the King dlil
not offer to let his Head up aniongll: the reft ; but after a
kind and gentle Treatment, lent him awav in fafcty.
The King of Bono/'s Pilot being come, they let Sail tor
that 'Town, and came to an Anchor before it, j'lpriUhe ^. D. liot!

Here the King came our 10 bid them Welcome, with his'-''™ ••
whole Fleet of Carracols, gallantly let out with Colours*"""'
and Pendants ; and on both tides the .Sinall-lliot and
Ordnance wi re briskly difcharg'd. The Captain was in-
vited alhore to Dine with the Kinp. where every thing
was ill ne in the belt manner, .according to the Falhion of
the Country. The Meat was ferv'd up in great wooden
Chargers ; but iho' the Dilhcs were homely and coarfe,
yet the Provilions themfelves were line ; and which was
better than all, the Welcome very hearty and (inccrc.
Their Liquor was only Iren I'otr, a Drink of a very agree-
able plealant ralte ; not heady and intoxicating, but iuf.
ftrient to revive the Spirits, give them a due Elevation,
and anlwer all the Ends and Pnrpoles of Drink.
And as the Captain was feallcd alhore, fo the King
(indeed the whole Royal Family) was again a Shipboard.
They were feldom without one orother of them;fo greedy
were they of the Company of a People they had lb long
delircd, but ccu'd never fee till then.
There was another neighbouring petty King, that hear-

with his w hole Family to be a Spedator too. He rowed
round the Ship in his Carracol, and vieu'd it andthmi

We pals'd fiom hence to Br.ntnm, without any remark.t-
ble Octurrenr by the way, and 'tvv.is in the ixginning of
Dc.-ni.ii; tliat we got thither. We found the State of
Afl'airs a'tei'd here for liie worfe from what it had for-
merly been ; ihe pixfent Governour being a very trou-
blcl'ome, covetous, cx.aifting Pcrfon, encroaching upon
our Privileges, and not allowing us the Liberties that
ufed to be !;ranted.
Having provided in the bed manner I cou'd for tlif
Qiiict and Security of our FaAory under that diftemper'd
Circumftance, I let Sail for the Mciu.cr.'s the lEth ot the
fame Month, pitting in at the Ifle of Rc>:!^/:i.i in the Pro-
he fccution of this Voyage, we found the Country quire
cmptv of Inhaliitants,the King and all the Peop?!! with one
Cor.fent were run away, whatever Uangent was that had
frighted them. And all things conlidered, I concluded
"tw.is for fear of the D;i/o'', whovvou'd ( it feenis ,' have
broke i:. upon thein, and built a Fort in the Country a-
gainif their Wills ; but they chofe rather to ip'it the Illand
and Icivethcmthe wh'de Dominion entirely tothemfelves,
tli,in live under their Command, and endure the Bon-
d.ig.; a Fortwou'd bring them into. I.cofing from hence
We h::d the Wind and Stream fo powerhiliy againft us,
ami vvc U'lour'd with our Ship to fo little purpcle,thai we
were oMig'd to alter our purpole forthe Moltac.i'i, and fo
l>e.ir up the Hr.'m for the Iflesof Baiiit.j, towards which
we were carried away a main.
When we came thither (which was in the beginning of
Vel"ur y) we found all things under the Command and
managed according to the Plenfiire of the Uuicl. No
Sail came into the Road but thev wou'd take as nuich of
the Lading as they ple.i^'d, and either luit pay at all, or
pay at their own time and price accor.iiiig to their own
Coiiieienccs, which m.ade it indcid iv.xt to no payment at
lwE»I-
all. And then there muft be nO correfpondcncc with the
People of the Country, and if a Ship brought Commo- Tynnr.y of
ditics ever lo vendible there, am', attempted but to land ''"•■ •"""'■■•
thrm, thelein'pudentniaftertul lldlnidcis wnn'd immedi-
ately play the Oiidn.inte of the Caftle upon them; and
by this Means they had gotten fevcraljencks of conlidc-
lable burthen into their Power, which eat:ic t'.itir . upon
an hoiielt: delign of Trade. The Inhabit mis of the
Town of /..-/('I') were very willing to deal with me, and ''
fell sue their Spice, but they cou'd not do it without the .,/-,.

were at War witli the Illands of Pulovoay and P o- ;',i,
who therefore wou'd not fend mc to ask leave of the
D/ifi/jtolniy their Spices.
But then the great Difficulty, was, to manage the
Trade with them without provoking the D«/i/ ;o .acts
of open Violence and hoftility. I hid now received an
exprefs Commandment from the (iovernour of the
Caftle, and the Vicc-Ailm'ral to come in with mv Ship,

Icrable good Fortune to havefiicceeded f 1 well at i'likw.iy ;
to have out run the Hutch in the point of Trade there this'
Year, and brought off a good lading of Spice fo haml-
lomelv, lefore their very Faces, vvliile they theinfehes
cou'd not get a pound. 'I'his was fo great a Pain and Mor-

toughtagainit them inthe contrary "ride, which fet their
Ships to the Weft fide of the Ifland, and wou'd not let

,Oiv,inp ro an Anchor in the Road of Cape VaJ,
we ({aid there fome time, to lay in a Recruit
if frcih Witer and repair what was defedfivc
in our Ship-Tackling ; having had lome little
iiiN of that nature by the way. And indeed, all
things tonfider'd, I know nor a more convenient Road
f >r thefe pi:r|ofi.s, aiui all others almoft that may invite a
Ship, rhanthisof Lnvc l^cidh: For befides the plenty of
good fall', Filli, and the advant.'gc of Watering here, 'tis
very fit for the Difpa'-.h of Bulinefs, and it is not at all
out of the w.iy.
.'\sfo'oui Courfe from hence to the Line, we conclu-
ded with one C'onfcnt, to Sail S. 5. W. for nbout fixty
1 cagucs, then to ilcer S. S. E. till wc grew near the Line,
and fo to hale over I afterly.
By the latf^r end of July we made thf Bay of Sol.UnU,
wlure wc f mnd the People is bcriftly and brutifh as they
have ever ufcd to be reprcfenred, but not near fo frer and
ready to T r.ide as the, f riueily v.eic. 'Twas a v.ry
hard matter to pcrfwade the.ii to bring any Cattel at all
to us (wc were torc'ri to bribe niul couit them to it , and
tl'cn thofe they did brinp were lo old, lii tough, anil fo
lean, that 'tw.is aiiv.oll as iiad as fafting, to be obliged to
tat them.
Ktliiics Oi i Iron was now no current Money amongft
!l:em, and thole brave Tiadin,r, Pays were over, when a
Man o u'd pui\ hate a far Ox, or t^^o or three guod Sheep,
for .11. Iron Kir-g, or a few Hobnails. Copper was, a: this
time, al! in all amongil ilieni, and they wou'd take in>-
thiiip biit pieces if this Metal, iiit three or four, or (ix
Inches I'quare , and one of thefe was the Price of a Sheep,
whicl-. rrnlideritig what ihey were, was de:ir enough.
What the Realon of this altcraiion ll.ou'd ho is uncer
tain : Whether thole plentiful Markets of Cattle they us'd
to bring down from the Mountains, were Spoils taken
from one another in W.ars, and fo thev p.ii diem olf to
others, as they took them themfelves : Whi. 'i if 'twere fo
theii 'tis probable, that the Realon whv the> (o highly va-
lued Iron 111 thole Days, w.is its ufefulnefs to iliem'm their
Wars tor heading their Darts and (aunre^ and confe-
qiiently that it grew outot Requelt r.nionKlt them, when
a Oencral Peace was made, and their murdering Weapon',
laid.ihde. Or tis poifible, that the />,.;J', bv their ove--
great liberality, may have puli.bly hclp'd to fpoil the
fnide here : For as tis their Humour, to conllJer only
their own prelent Oecafions, withuu: confiiltin,. the .Ad -
vant.ige or Intereft ot any that art to . ume alier them • fo
tisvery likely, that they by giMng thde People fome ex-

Tis worthy of Obfervation too, that the Main-Land,
tjio" It be thirteen Leaj^iies diftant, yet runs awny fo to
thcW. and by W. that there is little more ilian I hree
Points open to let in the N. W. Sea, wlmh is aKvays here
the molt Itormy and trouMefomc. 1 here's j;ood 1-illiinp
about the Bay for Millets'or a b'ilh very like thorn) Smelts,
Thoriibaeks, D.>',s, and a fiiiall fort of Whales : And all
alxiiit the Rocks, Limpcis, -^iid Miifelcs in abiindanre.
We (ibferv'd a fort of Tree growing heicabout, that bears
a huit in bgnefs and form refembling a I'ine-Applc ;
the Sceilsof which were allcirirely eaten out of the Husks
by ihe lUrds, and the Husks left Handing in iheir Natural
Order upon the Tree. Thele Husks were more fott and
fpongy than thole of a Pme-Applc, tlio' i therwile like
ihcui : The Tree it fclf is low, and Iprcads into a conli-
derable breadth at top, and the Leases of it are like our
l-nglijh Houlleek, only not quite lb thick.
1 believe, with lome good Realon, that the Country
might be caltivatcd into a very excellent Plantation for all
tons of Herbs and Trees ; and that our i.n:;//i' Garden-
Plants wou'd thri\e to much higher degrees of Perleetion
here than at home, to the very great advantage of all
that iTiou'd refreni here ; if any wou'd be fo generous as to
begin and iiiakr the Experiment. In lliorr. Nature has
done fi) much to our hands, in order to the niaking the
whole Country a Garden, that Art h.as but a very little
left to perform, to make it as perleiit as need be dc-
iired.
We fet .Sail from hence, dircdling our Courfe to the
llie of Mid,i^<:J.f.', and came to an Anclmr in St. //ni;;.-
y(«t'sBay. The People of the Country carried it to lis
julf as rhey of iouhni.t did ; and but that 'tis prcity cer-
tain, that there is no intercourie between them, one wou'd
otlierwife have i bought, that they had made a iiargain
togcilier to itarve all the ChriUian Ships that come into
the Roads. 1 hey are a Itoiit hardy People, (it for the
Wars, and "tis reported of lome Skill in Maitial Difci-
plinc ; but withal cxcelfivcly treacherous and falfe ; fo
that whoever comes amongft them, muft be furc to ftand
well upon their Guard.
..^ » Bclidcs the Tamarind-Trees, which the Country
v/icnfo" yields in great plenty, here's a fori .if Tree whole limber
ifjit'trAt-is as hard and hrm as Li^)imnl'ii,e, and very whita, but
OTui iiilii |,j|.|.j^.5 .(-p^jll l,„,\vn Pith in the middle of it; whether
a'cci'wa any kind of WhiteSaundcr'!, or no, 1 cannot tell. Here's
jum.alioiit ji|(() a Plant very like a iVwi/icf/i'f, and tor all I know,
*^l^^'-^"'ini|ihi yield as good an Aloes as that does: 1 here's a
grc'at deal to he found of it in thofe pans, tho" the Savages
lia\e hardly any knowledge of the I'fe and Virtue
of it.
Sailing Com hence towards the line again, we met
with leveral Currents, whiih put us oi.t ci nliderably m
the Reckoning of the Ships way and motion. .Sometimes
a Current Ic-tting to the Southward aHeOb-d us, which as
'twas againlt us in our Courfe, from the more Southerly
latitudes of Mir.hg.ifc.ir, to parts nearer the line; lo
made us fall Ihort in our true way by fonie 1 eagues, of
wh.it in Judgment might have been allowed. .Again,
fomeiimcsa nowcrful (Jurrcnr feiung to the Northward,
reach'd us oi a hidden ; which goinj* along with us, as
much difturb'd our Reckoning, by making us run more
1 eagues tlian the true C'ourle of the Snip in luch a time
wou d amount to.
1 he former of tliefc Currents was ihe mod difcernible
for the two next Days, after our letting om from St. Ai-
^ij/ijif's Bay, when we were about ii Degr. South I at.
but iIk latter, which let to the Nor'hward, kept w ith iis
continually even to the Line, .and alier w e had crolii'd the
line, till we were in more than 5 Degr. North l.at. at
which time we loll the Current, and again began to hnd
the force of .mother letting to the Southward. This Cur-
rent followed us lor I'ome three or four Days ; and then in
about 7 Degr. North 1 .-it. another letting to the Hall-

I cou'd procure no Aloes of him, for thai v. as all fenr

Tdtinck, injh:il:',i K'/;'v; under whom indeed he w.as no
more tli.an a Vice-Roy in this httlc K.ngdcm of ^ijfcifor.r.
He granted us free l.ibertv to take wli.ir W.iter we had
occalion tor here, and (which is a Favour not granted to
oihcr Nat ons withoiu paying tort too. Hit asf(,r Wi od,
it leeiiis, 'tis a ver\' Icarce Commodity in thole parts, p,i,d
there he cou'd not inrnilli us. without ready Money ; nay,
if we wou'd liav; any, we iiuilt give a very great rate.
The truth on't is, ihe whole llland is nothing but e.
Lump of Rocks and Cliffs, and there's hardly any room
for '1 imber-Trees to grow, 'tis all fo hll'd yp wiih Stoned,
and a hard barren _t,arth, almull unfit for the Nourith-
ment of any lot of Vegetable. 1 know of none oi any

Aloes, and the Shrub, or Tree, whole Tear is that Drug,
which we call in Europe the S.'.ii^::is D'.icoms ; and then the
Date-'l'recs, which aff rd them indeed theirchiefcit Sultc-
nance. The Date-Trocs, 'tis true, are pretty numerous for
loey make the belt of their Bread of that Fruit : As for
the others, the whole llland affords no more than about a
Tun ()f Aloes in a 'War, and a \cry inconliderable ouan-
tity ot Snn^tii! Di.icoir^,
The Animals that are here, arefcarcc worth a mention,
except it be for the fewnels and meannet's ot them ; they
are as forry as the Country that breeds them, and ll.ew the
Poverty of the .Soil they liu- on, by the Dwartilhnefs of
their own Bulk and Stature : .And ui they are dear Pen-
nyworths tothein that will undertake to buy them, for a
Cow goes at tweb e K ia.'s of tight, a Goat at one, Sheep
and Hens each at half a Rialapicce. As for the Dates,
there's no having them under twelve Rials /n-r Hundred ;
and a parcel ct Wood, as much as an ordinary Man's
Burilen is valued ar 1 1. and wou'd certainly inllead of
that be at i /. if :;^oa'tn.,i with tint I'caruty of Wood lay

larm, being now .is weary ct the Country, as the Coun-
try was of them, in as httle a tune as their Atfairs wou'd
allow, came down with all their Iitfeills, bring ng the
1 wo Captains, Shmfclgh, and lliwkji.s , along wuh

We now underftood the Rcafon cf this lo very liidden

and a Free Trade : \
I'eiK alhore, with fc<er.i"l Ibiis r-f Commodities. But tlio"
they made a Node at firlt of fine Cloths, Indico, and
Pepper, whiih they wou'd barter for our Wai\s, yet we
cou'd find nothir ; of that forth-Coming j and .i'!| that
they dealt with .i^ I', r, were fome of our Br,,ad Cloths,

The Ship was ot 300 Tun Burthen, belonging to Cf-
■h.ii, and bound for Chaiil, and her Lading was Coco's,
rill. Sugar, RackaNuts, C'i/«<:-Dinics, Spices 'Wax'
Alom, and baft Ropes. '
The Frigat was of «o Tun, bound tor Onmn, and la-
ilcn with Rice and Tamarinds ; out of all which we took
what we thought cotivenicnr, and cou'd well bellow iti
our Ships. Wc wou'd fain have found their Bills of La-
ding, if poUible ; but they had either none at all, or
elle had lecur'd them, where wc cou'd net eomc at
them.
And now we began to think of leaving f«,//.7, and lai!-

to this Courle, upon Confidcration of the Opportunities
wc might there meet with, of puttinn oil" thole Goods

prevent the Danger which threati.cd a Ship of our Coun-

Fi. Ill the Coalt of //;.//,-, to this Illand, we continu-

than by our Courle we cou'd expert ; clpecially when'
we were thwart the entrance of the I'mr.,, Gulf; which
I impute to the Influence of ibiue Current fetting thence
to the Southward.
Asweci.iitcd along by Cape Gi,.id.:ij„l, and Monre
Fi/.'.v, the Country People came to is with Sheep and
Goats, and lome parcels if Oiibanuir, .md Cium-Ara-

But ih s Ciwl Coriclpondcnce and Fr.iflick with us,
was all over the fruit of a millakc ; for they Itill took us
for M.ilmn.-r.mi : And h.'.i they known us to luve been

the loBvcii Tit Roail ot '/7 .■, \> here wc had all the Se-

But as ihcv fovmd no (U-alon from our Carnage amongft
them, to otl'er us any liah violence, (o they entcnan'd us
after a very ditlercnt manner trom what the I'urkj encou-
rag'd them to. Whether they knew ustobe tneinies to the
Siipcrltitions of A /.r/vtwef, 'which they cnilirace all herc-
nliciuts, and how 'twould have iKcn with us then, 1 can-
not fay i ) but as Matters were, they carried it fairly and
civilly to us ; we paid them Money, and had our Bar-
gain pumSuallv, and without deceit.
Near this Road where we lay 'perhaps feme three
. Leagues diftance ' lies an llland, which wc call'd C'loi--
JotiViaJ!. W""^i for the multitude of great Crabs we found there.
Wc wanted nothing where we h.id [lolledQurfelves, but
the Prcfcncc of our (leneral, and the reft of our Coin.
pany under Continement with him. And this, after a
multitude of wicked Delays on the l'u>k.s part, and as
many fruftratcd txpciftations on ours, was happily ac-
romplith'd by his own Contniance and Kelblution, in the
MontliofMrt;, after we had lain in this Koad more than
four Months.
Thf General having now brought hiiiilelf and his Com-
fany all otf clear, went away to >«'<»f and DjI'iiI, whither
accompanied him ; and from thofe I'arts I came bacJt
with him again into the HS'i Set, where wc arrcfted the
Indian Ships, in order to bring the luriitoa Compo-
fition. '
This AtTair ended in the Hed Sen, we went away with
both our Ships tor Tekpr:, in Sunutrt ; at which place we
found fo fmall Encouragement for 'I ndc, that the Gene-
ral wou'd not Ifay there, but went, changing Shipi with
me, to Biintim ; whither 1 had Orders to follow him as
foon as I had difpatched at Tc/to/t. '
Here I was molt horribW abufed by the rafcally Natives, chnt rj a
in '.c Pepper 1 Ixjught ; for when I came to weigh it, we '!" '''«»••'
had leveral Bags of rotten decayed Pcpfcr ; and in foine ''^"
there was Paddy, Rice, ay and great Stoius crambd
in too, to help make I'p the weight. But there was no
Remedy for this Mifchief, and fo we were forc'd to abide
by the lofs.
Sailing from hence for Bini.im, we were like to have TV ship
been all undone by the fetting of our Ship upon a Rock, """"pom
into which danger the Current helped to bring i:s. Wc *""■*■•
made a Ihift, by God's atliltance, to get her off again, and
fct her afloat ; but yet that Encounter had done her (b
much prejudice, that we were obliged (as the furer Courfe)
to return back again to Tekp^, to itop her Ixaks, and re-
pair the other Defc<25 of her.
But our Attempt at the lecond fetting out, proved more t),„^„
luccefstul, and wc came without any more fuch Encoun- Ci'mc. t,

the Twenty Hrft of M.d. 'Twas then Winter in thispart
of the World, the Sun Ix^ing taking his appointed Turn
on t'other tide the Equator. The Mountains were cover'd
over with Snow, the Trees nn.kcd and bare, the Fields
in all the Rudencfs of a V.'inter-Drcfs ; the whole Face of
Nature (here at other limes fo charming and bright ap-
peared with a lullcn gloomy Air ; the Heavens were dark
and cloudy, and the Earth li^em'J to mourn at the abfence
of the chearful Sun. Little godd Entertainment was to
be had from the Country at this Sealbn of the Year, and
the Rains that fell made it fo bad travelling, that we
cou'd not go far to get what it wou'd liiveart()rded us.
We took fomc pains to Hiid out the Root .V/«g/in at this
time, and our Laliour mult have been quite loft, if wc
had notreceiv'd I'omc Inttrutftions intha; matter ; becaule
the new Leaf was no w but julk peeping oi t of the Ground,
and the Plant does not come t i its pcrtciftion till the depth
of our Winter.
Here were two or three Dutch Ships that came to make
the fame enquiry, and one of tliem tirit difcover'd this
Root here ; whether by chance, or any foregoing Infor-
mation, I am not certain, nor is it much material. The
Soldnnians, in theirbarbarous and brntilh Speech, tall this
Root Cat.m, by which Name it mult bu enquired after i
amongit them ; tho' 'tis poilibic they may I c fo fpiteful ;
and ill-natur'd, as to retulc to put Strangers in the way of
finding it.
We left the Dutd in the Bay, bartering for Skins and
Hides, and making 1 rain-Oil, and lail'd away for the
Indies, getting light of the Illc of Ceylon the hrft of Augnit,
and lo coalling along towards N»;;<i/>/»f.i», upon the Land
of Ci'i oiiMidel.

fit, when we ( reful.'d to lie before h.md with them in
Civilitiesof that Nature/ had fet out to meet them, which
tiicy having Intelligenccof, and finding our Strength, were
fo wife as to run away a.nd fliift fur thcmfciv es, and fo
leave us to the L.ibour of driving them. Thui wc ilid
our felvcsaKindncfs, and fo much Service to the Town

ietthe Wheels of Trade a-moving there and at lome other
places about ; which Bulincfs done we prepar'd to re-
turn tiack to Mjliilijiai/iti.
Ill our Coiirfc from hence, we came to the dangerous

We arriv'd at Mtl':,iip,::r.u the middle of n.wnibcr, and

We agreed with the Govcniour at 4 frCciit. Cuftom,
and fell to lading of Goods; but ihc J! mict w.is fent

Indeed the Complaints ot the People went a great way
towards the procuring this Favour f<ir us; forihey were
nctlediofee our Ships palfing by thcin every ^'ear, and
not h.ive the l.ilerty of Trading there as the IhitJihzA.
And tho' the Dutt-h did all they could to keep es out, yet

News came to us here from /'•■;'/(, that the King of

f^,' nail taken the Fort ot Sirmn'J', ana llain all the /'«//«-
1 7«*'^. X'"^'' 'hat kept ir. This Town or Fort of Siiut'il\
Itands in an Ifland below the Mouth of the aforementi-
on'u River of i'rgu; and 'ris to be noted that when the
Kingof ./r.Mc,^;. had ( accoidiug to the former Relation )
made himfelf Walter of the Kingdom of I'<"i;h ; he put
this Town and Fort into "lie Hands of the Vom.guc^L;
who beliav'd thciiilelvcs there (as they do in all other
places) after a very irfolent and domineering Manner ;
and paiticularly to renerc the Kindncfs of the King ot
Wi-M.-w, ilicy n.only at'rerrw.k his Son Prifoncr, and ex-
torted a \ all .Sum of Moix', and a liiiw Ojiantity of Rice
tor his Ranlom. This in '.'-ai tud; to tlicir Benefadi rs
his Alieltiam. or the loken of our Privilege, which was '''•''•
a white Clorh, upon which the King'sHai.i' was Pnr.ied
in Saffron.
In theMonrh ot .'. :; /■',the Country aliout .V,r./.i, ;. ■ pem ,<j-„;
and Cii.oi i!.i was laid under Water in a molt frightful
manner. Many Thoufanis if Men and Cattle were
fwept away, whole lowns were ruiiid, .-iniJ all the
Fruits of the FicKI dellrou.l; Plants atul Trees were
carried along with the Flooil, and the Wat.r lay three
Yards high aUive the level of the Grouiul. 'J he City of *''"*'
Go/iiH./i fuHer'il very greatly in it's Hoefes and Bridges''
by this inundation ; 4000 Houles were walh'd away to
rights, and two very fair Bridges rais'd at lead three Fa-
thom .above the ordinary height of the Water, were now
three Foot under Water ; and tho' exceeding ftrong, as
l>ciiigbuiItof, Stone and confining, the one of 19 and the
ether of 15 Arches, yet there were (ix .Arches of the big-
geft entirely carried away with the Force of the Stream.
The Superllitious Imlir.ns might podibly eltcem this to
be ominous, and not think thcmfelves miftaken, when
prcfentlv after (in the fpace of a few Weeks) lb great an on,l,T.
cventfollow'das the Death of the mighty King of Nf.r-
Ihiga. At the Celebration of his Funeral, three of his nmg 01 ^jr
Queens burnt themfelvcs i^uick with the Corps, in Telli-M' ''■''•
nionyof th^ir Love and Conftancy, after the manner of
that Country. Very great Troubles were now like to
follow upon this ttrokc, and all Foreigners were oblig'd
to l(X)k to themfelvcs and their Concerns m that Country
as well asthey could. .As for our parts wc endeavour'd to
get in our Debts with all (peed, ami for that end fent to
the Governour to come and clear all Accompts with us.
But that deceitful Mimitcr did nothing but abufo and
trifle with us, put us off with frivolous Pretences and
F.xcufcs, till he had delay 'd the Bulincfs fo long, that it
would ha\ e been very injurious to us co have loH any
more time.
And therefore feeing nothing was like to lie done by fair thvimhtr.
Means, wewcreforc'd to ule other Methods; by which
tho'wcmight feem torun a very grear Ril'que, and do
an Adion which all the World would call defpcrate in

From hcr.ce Ihc vent towards the Kland of Cryl n,
putting by the way into the Bay of rhrrlmiipi!. This
Bay receivf'jit's name from a Town loiall'd, lying a lit-
tle to the South fide of ir, and 'tis in Eight Min Kortl
L.ntiti'dc. At the entrance into ir there's a Shoal, al
round about which there's nine Fathom Water ; but be-

to a pretty big Kland, which deferves to be mciition'd, in
that 'tis a kind of a Guide to the finding out of a very

1 he Ifland is alxiut two Miles from the Main, has two
other finall ones to the South of it. and a high round ii*

ClitT like a River, and may be feen by the white Appea-

ftance. By this Del'cription the Ifland it Iclf may be
found, .Tnd then the Bay fo cominended is cifily difco-
vcr'd ; for 'tis but looking upon the North fide of this
Ifland and there you find it. Going fair along by the

When they had vifitcd this Ifland and Bay, they fail'd nuJ.:'
on to the iN'ico/'rti Iflands, where they met with very good oilii<t-
Refrefliing, and the People as much difpos'dto Trade and
Deal with them : Nay, when they went from thence
the Canuei follow 'd them for I'ome t.me, and kept the
Trade ftill going on. Their Courle from thcfe lilands
was towards that of fn/oH, an Iflandnot much vifited by
our /•:«!;/./?' Ships. The Soiith Point of Okoh call'd
liiiitiiir, they place in the Latitude of fix Degrees, or
therealxiuts ; for when they made that latitude by ihc
Suns Meridian Altitude, DiniiJiii at the fairc time Lore
due Ead of them. The varying hereabmus, or rather in

Houn in a very forlorn cafe. The Mifchief tlut reduc'd
tistothis Diftrcfs, wa« a Shoi! lying in that Pallage,
which ha« not alnive fix Foot on tiie Top of it, nor is a-
U)ve half a Cable's length every way ; hard alward it
there's ten Fathom, and the next raft on ground, as we
found by lad experience. Obfer>c, that to go clear of
this Shoal.you mufl keep clofe to the Iflands and not to the
Main, for that'sall ShoaU!. In the Courfe from hence
to thellland (V/fifj, wc had the Current changing two or
three leveial ways : Not far from the watenng place call'd
Ting tiin, which is about fourteen l.eapucs from «^w//im,
you (halt find it fetting to the F,.S. F. which you muft al-
low for.as you havethe Windjwc had it aswe fteerdnear
theEaflof thofc two Ifl.inds, thjt lie over againft the
Watering place, and are alwut five Miles diltancc from
the Point of 7iiiv;rM. In the Latitude fix Degrees nine
Minutes ( after having pafsd the Hie I'ulo l.ibuck. ) the
Current run directly ( at Icaft pretty near) 10 the Weft
fide, and within fight of the Ccltha ( the Eaft part War-
ing Ealt by North fix l.eapucs i.ff, md I atitude live
Peprees si Minutes) it fetto ihc North Weft tide.
Here wetook in our Sails to keep iVortof the Streiphts
of Dfjtion, and keeping our I. cad all Nipht, we had lirft
io Fathom, and then drove into yi and io to 47 Fathom,
fearing a Shoal, which lies almoft a League from the
CtUiei, and at low Water plainly difcovers the breach
upon it.
On the Cc/*i" fide 'tis very dangerous, and full of fuii-
kcn Ground ; and for that Rcal'on, wc haled over for De-
falm (idc, having for a Mark the piked Hill.which is next
to the Sea fide, and rills up like an Ifland. When this
Hill bears N. Uy W. then you are thwart the Fail end of
to the Shoal, and when 'tis North you arc thwan the Weft
end of It, and then will the Illand which you leave on
your Star-board fide, Ix-ar E. N. E. to that you may bold-
ly ftecr out in the middle l>etwcen the two Iflands. Ob-
ferve alio, that the tail end of Dejlilon, (hews like an
Ifland, .-ind will go near todeccivc you till y< 11 come to it;
but when once you have brought the North end of the
Point to bear F.. N. li. half a Point Ealterly, then you
may go fecurely on, for you are dear of all Dangers from
ihc aforementioned Shoal.
Aboutfouror five f cagvcs diltancc UomCmnbiti/:, wc
found the Current carry us to the t.'orih fide, and near
the Ifland liin',"! ff- to the N. E. which is a ne.-.r Neigh-
bour to the confiderablc I He of Bmoi.
From the Eaft Point of Botun the Land falls away fiid-

Ativrthefe two Great Perfonagcs h.id been with us, all The Nobili7

to bellow them ; the. made .-. p,-rfeit Crowd, and th-^rc
v^as Icarceaiiy llirrmg to and fro in the Ship, fjr Wi;ble-
men and their •\itendaii's. But ihey were 10 far from co-
ming to fpend upon, or Ix chargeable to us, th.it 'liey
broeght their own F-ntertainmenr along w;th them, (.at
Icaft as much as it was worth) eery Nob!c-m.in made his
Prelen., lome 111 VenifMi, ibmc in Wild-Fowl, others in
Fill:, Fruits, or li,methipg or other \cry acceptable and
.good. They mightily admired the Strudure and Contri-
vance of the Ship, view'd it in ali its pans, and furvev'd
it from one end to the other, with fo much Attention and
Curlofity, rhat we thought they wou'd never lia\ e had
enough of the light.
But wc had more troible with the ccminon People Mulcuudciof
who were GUI' next Vifitants, and quickly fuppl.cd the 1^7 '''l':;^
place of the Lords, when once they were pone. There "" "■ '
was no poffiblc keeping of them away, the Ship was fuch
a Wonder to them : And when we were as full as ever wc
coud ftand wedged by one another, the relt contented
themfclves with gazing upon the Ship out of their Boats ;
Ibme admired the Head, and fome the Stern, and < thcrs
the Tackling ; and at the fame time crowded fo thick a-
bout her, that flic cou'd no more itir for Boats, than we
cou'el that were in her for Swarms of People. In Ihort, I
belie\ e, if the Ship hail been big enough, the whole Na-
tion wou'd have come aboard at once;" and as it was, if
the King's Orders had not prevented them, they wou'd
ce.-tainly ha' c taken their I'urns all round the Country,
lie, as to give us a

People were very civil, and far from (tfering any thing of
Rudenels or V lolence; they pretended to no more than a
little llarinj; and peeping about ; but that Curiohty of
theirs was lb unweatied, and grew fo troublefome to us,
that vye were forc'd to dcllre the Prefence of an OfTicerof

happen in fuch a pnMuifaUiUS Multitude

I can t but take Notice of an odd Millake, in a matter
of Dcvotif n, luade by lome of the .'.mwycGentlewomen,
whom I admitted into my Cabin. Thele were fomc whcn\
the I'ovnr^ucjc 'jct'i.it. had been at work upon, and had rc-
ceiv'd from themjbn-.e little M.itters of ChrilHanity, about
as imich as the fayu-.g of a few Gibberilh Prayers, or the
cringing before ar Image or Pidure niieht come to.
The good Wo.uen I eing in the Cabin, chanc'd tocaftTheMiftike

Temitr ot thcfe j.ip'iiejr, and that lour, morofe, ard
K-aluus U.l'pofition, tnai prevails all over the Maimiia.n
world ; where the Women are cloillcr'd up in Seraglio's,
and live like fo many Prifoners of Srate, iiwilible to all
Human Eyes, except iliofe of a few liiiiuchs, and ther
Paramours. Thefe Ladies h.id all of them, \erv gi od
Complexions, comely and gr.uefulFe.nuir.s, and extream-
ly well Can i.ng'd ; a ni e judge of IVa. t^ might haic
faid, they were ilcfciitii e in Stature, and a lize too low,
and perhaps wanted Blufli in their lac'-s ; yet the rother
Graces excufed well enough their want of height ; and as
for Colour, they fetch'd inairdbncc from Art, atid paint-
ed thcnifelves, lince Nature had not done it.
Their Habit was Silken Gowns, girt dole about them ;
no Stockins, b<it a fi.rt of Buskins Iwund with a Kil^xitnl
about their Inftcp ; their Hair, which was vers black and
long, handfomely ticii up udlu the Crown of their Heads,
but no where fl.avcn as the M'-rs was.

the Inftrumcnt with their Fingers,, but touch the Strings
with a little niece of h orv, .as we do when we play upon
a Cittern with a Qui 1. They have rhcir Songs for Vocal
M'ilick, and their 1 elf-ns for Inrtrumcntal, orderly pritk'd
down in their Mulick-Books, as we have; and thofc Books
have the Divilions of Lints and Spa. es for the leveral

The King having invited us to come afliore, and fix

L'l't twas as a parcel ot Pyrates and Rovers, that lived on-Jf*"
Is upon the Spoil of other People, and were the Plagues
of all the .Seas in that part of the World. And they had
inlincated this Notion fo far into the Japot.'f/-, that they
had made a Song of us to that purpole, the finging of
vvliich thiy uled to accompany with levernl Adicns and
Gcftuies, Ihewing how we feizc and plunder the Sp.mifh
Ships. And thus tinging and .acting the Z-;./!;/-)?.', they usd

ncilc .ind tronblefomi efs, and nakc them quiet ; )ull as I
the F.nich did theirs, with the i ame of the Lord TrMot- '
and the Turlis theirs, with that of Sc.jnderbrg. '
But when we came upon the Spot, the Jupme/i figni-
fied by all the Particulars of their molt obliging Carriage
to us, that we had been unfairly, and very difproponio-
"ajly reprefemcd to them j that the Jcfuits had given them
a falfc Pourtraidure of us, and that their Picture was as
much unlike the Original it felf, as the Pitfture of ^enm
to that of the Virgin Mnry.
The Laws of this Country are horribly ftrict and feverc
in many Particulars, and Offeuders are nowhere trea'ed Cj(t3a ■
with more Bitterncfs and Rigour than in J^fidti. Duelling (""'^H
is here an unpardonable Crime, whether in the Natives- '"'f ""
or Foreigners that ftay here but for a time ; the Laws will '°,,^?
take hold ot all of them alike : And the j.ipo,iclc- will not E«ft-jr,
allow the Stain of any Bloodilied in that manner to lie up-
on their CoiMitry, Nay, if a Man docs but dr.iw a Wea-
pon in Anger upon anothe., the Cattans are prefcntiy at
work upon h;ni, and he is 1 ut in pieces without any'tar-
ther Ceremony, tho' he has done no harm, nor given no
Wound to him he threatned t But if any Milchief be-
done, not only the Aggrelfor himfelf, but all his Family
are involved in the Punithmcnt, and -he Law (which I
cnnfil's is barl arous) cxercifes the fame Severity upon
them, as on him.
To fte.il a Slave from another Perfon, is Death without
Mercy a!fo : Or if the thing wrongfully laketi from ano-
ther, Ik- of ever lb trifling a nature, if tJie Fact be clearly
proved, there's no Reprieve, not Mitigation of the Sen-
tence of the Law, as far as I can find.
Their folemn Executions are perform'd with ihcfc Cere-
monies following :
In the firft place marches a Man with a Pickaxe, who is
foUow'd by another with a Shovel, to dig the Grave of
the Malefadtor, (if at leaft that Favour be pcrinitted him,
• in the Cafe of tonic Crimes it is not) next to thele comes
Perlon carrying a fmall Table, upon which the Offence
toi which the Patty dies is writtcn,and cxpos'd to the view
of all ; then follows titc Criminal himfelf, havinghisHands
bound lehind him.and unto him is faftned a for. of a little
Banner, upon which his Offence is likuw ile written ; the
Executioner brings up the Rear, with his Murdering Wea-
pon by his tide, holding in his Hand the end of the Cord
with which the condemned Man is bound, and on each
tide of him walks a Soldier, rtlling his Pike on the Shoul-
der ot him that is to die, to prevent his attempting to make
anefcape tVoin Jullice.
And ill this manner 1 law one led to Execution, who at
the lair.e time canicd it with lucli an Air of Courage, ap-
pear'd lb a! Ibliuely intrepid, and above all the Horror of
his Circumltanot, that I ihou'd liardlv have thought ; had

In this Month a certain peny King of a neighbouring I
cir.rinviH- Ifland came to Firando upon the fame of our being there :
lion of ihe jj wj, ti,e King of Goto, who hearing the news of us
^'' ■ and our Ship, came with an carneft uefire to fee both,
which he did to his very gre.it Satisfadlion, and heartily
invited us tocomc and Trade at his Ifland, where he pro-
mis'dusas kind a Welcome as we had at fimndo.
But it was now time for us to g» and wait upon a far
greater Prince, even the mighty Emperour of Jttpan him-
iclf; a Command was come for our Journey to Court,
in order to which we prcpai'd the fcveral Prcfcnts that
were to be made to the Emperour and the great Pcrfons
alxwt him. The old King of Firando furnilh'd us with a
Gaily, and all things necelfary fir our Paffage ; the Ml
part of my Company was left there to inlpcdl the Affairs
of the Houfc and Ship in our abfence, fome few only go-
ing along with me to this Grand Audience. Before we
went we had the Comfort of feeing our Country Man
Mr /!d,tmi, who was come to interpret nui King's Letters
to the old King of Firando : He ftill gave us the fame En-
couragement concerning a Trade in this Country, and the
fame Cbaradlcr of it's pood difpolition thereto by word
of Mouth, that he did by his Letters fend to Bltu-
titm.
Having fet fail from Fhmdo, we pafs'd by divers
Iflands, the moft part of which were very well Inhabited,
and had fair Towns upon them; but the firft of note
that we put in at was Fuccitte, a very large and conlidc-
rable place, not much Icfs than i.om/nn within theW.ills,
very weilbuilt, and fo even and uniform, that one might
fee from one end of a Street to another. It has a ftrong
Stone Caftic, a good Ditch and a Draw-Bridge, all kept
f*^,,^'''fi', in very good rep.iir, but no Souldiers nor Ordnance : As
J'lm.i. forOrdnaficcindecdl did not fomuch wondertofind none,
fiiicc there was no fuch thing at Fir.indo, and 'tis a fort of
Military Furniture that the JapoiieJ'e are wholly with-
out.
Allalong this Coaft and foup toO^fcrt, wefound Wo-
men that liv'd withthcir whole Families upon the Water,

very prc.1t Artills. But ihey had two Strings to their Bow,

next Town of note we came to was Ufac.i, nothing infc- r'l'n mT,
nour to the foniier in Compafs and Dimcnlions .lod one ''" <■■•"
of the Principal Sea-Ports of the Empire. Th.-rc's a
River come< up to it as wide as the Xmm-s, and feveral
very fine Timber Bridges laid over it ; it has a Caltls
very extraordinary tor bignefs and Itr.npth, with very
deep Trenches about it, and feveral Diaw-Bridgcs arti-
hciallvmade, and Gate's la finmgly plated with Iron, as^'iV'"'*
may feem to bid defiance to any b.ittery in the World. "'
Ihe whole building of the Ciltle is of Frec-St me, and
the Walls are of the fame, bu: .i matter of fe\ en Yards
thick, and put tocether without any ihing of Moirar er
Cement, the Ston.s being fo nicely mt as to lie perfectly
clofc together, and need no other binding only if there
happenstobea\oid Ipaceaiiy where, tliev throw a little
Earth in to fill up the crevice, ami that's all they do '
lis regularly contrived, Itrengthnrd with KuKvaiks and
Battlements, with g<,od (lore of loop holes for fmall Shot
and Arrows, and various P.iflages for the tin owing out of
Stones upon tholi.' that Ihould come to attempt ir. And
one would ealily Ivlievc it to b>; a mighty ftiong and fc-
cure building, without having a particular Account of it
when one hears what ufe the Emperor puts it to, and of
wh.it importance the Jewel is here kept in fafc Cultqdy
In (hort hcrclixfS ( lock'd up in this Caltle the true and
penuin Heir of the Empire of Japm ; here I fay he lives
but fo happy as to be ignorant of his real Quality, l<ights|
and Jult Pretenfions, tho' at the fame time lb unfortunate
.IS to lie excluded from all. The truth of the matter is ■^^'^'' '""I' "J
The prefent Emperor is an Ufurper, and ftcpt into the/lXnn
Ihronein away not only contrary to the Laws of that "A'^'ftl*.
Kingdom, but the more facred ones of eternal Juftice and
Reafon. Iheold Emperor Father to the Prince (at our
lieing there a Pritoner in the Caltle of 0/.ic,«) when he
died left -his Son, then an Infant, to the Careand Tuition
of four principal Noble-men, whereof Ogolh-J.mmn the
prelent Emperor was One and Chief. The other three
Govemours, Men of intrigue and '1 Principles, .md fon-
dei by far of flattering their own Pride and Ambirion,
than;:'rchargingtheDuties of* facred Truft committed
to them; made Pretentious to the Sovereignty, and put in
for the Crown themfclvcs. In oppolition to whom, as
alfo to aflert the Rights of the Royal Pupill, Oyf):rj:„HmK
took up Arms, and having entirely routed the" other Pre^
tenders, had the fupreme Power, fuddcnlv clap'd all into
his own Hands. And now f perhaps not thinking of any
fuch thing before the charming Oppi rtunity told him he
had e'en as good be Emperor himfelf; all hi< Competi-
tors were remov'd out of thewav, the true Heir was in-
capable of undcrftandingandrcdrefring his cafe, all the
Power was his own, and he wanted only the name of an
Emperor, which was fo very linall arhing that he refolved
not to be \^ iihout that any longer. The" \oung Prince he
kept al\^a\ ~ .ilxwt him, and iti pcrfei5l Ignorance of him-
felt and his relation to the Crown, fuffeiiii!; him to know
no other but that he is his Son ; all that are' aliout him lie-
ing luch as the prcfcnt Emperor has brought up from their
Cradles, and fo not able togi^e him any better infomia-
r'on. And to make all lure when he was grown m Yeare,
I married him to his own Daughter, and foconfin'dthem'
to the Caltle of 0/,i,vr, where they live like the Children
ot an Emperor, as to all points of State and Grandeur
only Lilx;rty, that fweetens all the rell, civil policy is
pleas'd to deny them.
OveragainflO/rfM, on the other fide of the Ri\cr, lies Sj-j;
another great Town cil\\\ Sr.cy, a place of \ery great
1 rade for all the Ifles thereabouts.
At FK/fc/m/ to which we came next, wefound aGarri-
fonof jooo Souldiers appointed for the keeping fome of''"''''"'*
thofe parts in good order; ihisGarri'.bn is Ihifted every
three Year, and the change happening when we cainc thi-
ther, we had the advantage of feeing fomething of the
Rules of their Millitary Difclpline. 1 hey generally
march no more than five a Brealt, 'id to every ten Files tI ■ nf
there's anOffi.cr deputed, whorcgulates the March, and pi'i-e oCtiV
keeps all in pertc.'i Order. Their difpolit on according Jt'"fi-
to the quality ot their Arms is thv.. Fiiit of all iraich
their Shot, that is Calievers. for Muskets they have none
•icither will they ufe any ; then follow Pikes, then Cnt-
tans and Targets, Bows and Arrows, Wapgadalhes or
Hooks, and l.iltly Calievers again clofe the March • and
amonglt all thefe they ha' e no Colours, Drums, Iruinpcts

h.avc all forts of Uccr, Wild Boars, Goats, and K nc :
Cliecfe alfo in great plenty, but Butter they make none,
neither will they cat any Milk, becaul'e they citccm it as
the Blood of the Annual ; and for what Rcafjn I know

they ha\ e them in .abundance.
1 heir Wheat o;:ght not to be firgotten, whiih is as
plump and pood a any our Nation can ihew, bi t all of
the red Coloi r. We did, in oi,r Travels in the Country,
buy Rice at a Haif penny perPornd ; Hens and I'hcalanis
the belt and fattelt, for Three-pence a piece ; Pigs very
large, tcr a Shilling ; a lat Hog for bive Shillings; anood
Beef at Sixteen Shillings ; and a (ioiit at Three Shil-
lings.
1 he Drinks in reqi'cft in the Country, are only the
Spirits diltilled from Rice, \cry (Irong, and of the Colour
of Canaty, and comn-on Water, which is all in all amongll
the poorer furt of People, that can't ivach to the Price
of the other 1 iqiv r : i hci always drink their Water
warm, and fay, that tis good to kill the Worms in the
Maw ; which I ll.ouici be very ready to believe, provided
they put good llovc of Sa t in it.

being to finilh the remainder of our ]o. rney by Land, we
were furnilh'd with Horfcs and all Conveniencics for that

or oric of th^ir Sedans, ,irovided for mc ; and a frelli Uip-

Office of carrying mc therein, when I was tired of my

cretary wou'd take no Prefer.t, nor any thing like a Gra-
tuity from us ; the Emperor, it fcems, had commanded
the contrary, and iwas as much a.s his Life was worth to
do it.
Having fccn this Bullnefs done, we fet out from <iwniizn

to lie done, and the Pilgrims cxpeift to receive the Reward
of their Travel : And here one may meet all forts of Peo-
ple rich and poor, found and dittemper'd, continually
coming Jnd going thither, and that by Night as well as by
Uav, and that all the Year round.
The Stories told by the 3«l'i>iicl.- of this their God Tcn-
cMay, arc too unaccountable to lie relAtcd with any mca-
fiirc of Conhdenvc; fo that inlfe.id of their Accounts,
(which I fliall abfolutely wave ' I lliall only offer what
Mr. A.Unis, our Couuirv-man fwho has bccnat thisTem-
ple ' told mc as Matter of Fatft, and of his own Know-
Icdpe.
He fays That there is conllantly, every Month, one
jof the lovelieik Virgins that the whokCoumry willatTord,
brought into this Temple, in a \ cry neat Apartment of
whitli, llie is Ihvit up all alone ; and tlat at certair. riines
TcmlciUy, as they call him, comes to her in a vilible Form,
.ind luMng known her carnally, refolves any Doubts or
Qiieltions the puts to him, .ucording as the I'rielts inllruCt
her ; and at his I'oing away, leaves behind him a fort of
Scales like thole of Filhcs. Mr. /J.Lims fay, Tis certain
a frelli V irgiii is taken in cMTy Month : But what becomes
of ihcBi, and how the) arc dilpos'd of, he is utterK iyno-
ranr : As tutheother Circumftanccs of the Story, there's
11,) oppnuniiy for any Body bntlhcPrieitsandtheVirgins
ihmileUes, to Ik lure of the Truth or Fallliood of them ;
and therefore the Credit of them depends folely upon their
Report, as far as 1 fee : For Mr. /l.Ums does not pretend
Civi to have leen any of thofe .Appearances, or the furpri-
ziiip ttfeilts ot them inention'd. In (hort, \( Tcnche,l.i\ !«.•
ilic Devil, his Frolicks in Jnpii}i arc very unaccountable,
and ditleient trt m what they are in other places; but if
lciiih:\U> be one of the Roguifh Bonzes, or Prielts 'tis no
Itrauge thing th.i: he delircs a Monthly Sacr.Kec of Virgins,
coiilidering what an Alcendant the wanton Planet has all
o.cr that Country.
A'lout the middle of this Month wccame into FMo, a
City much larger than Sii'iiii^n, nobler in its Buildings,
and every way more glorious in its Appearance ; the very
Tiles of the Houles are gilded, and the Pofts of the Doors
fet off with a Ihining Varnifh : They have no Glafs- Win-
dows, but all of filoard, which open in Leaves, and arc
very delicately paintcil.
There's a Cawfey runs clever thro' the chief Street of
the City, which Street is as broad as any in I'.nglnnd, and
a fine River palfes along by, or rather tinderneath th;
Cawfey ; at every fifty Paces there's a Well-head fubltan-
tiallv fitted up of Free-ltonc, and ferv'd with Buckets for
the People to fetch Wat^r with, in cafe of any danger by
Fire.
1 he Caftlc of this City is a much ftrongc.- and nobler
Edifice than th.it at Swutign ; and the young King lives in
much greater State, and has a more pompous Attendance
than the Emperour his Father.
He recciv d us in a very courteous obliging manner, ta-
' king the King's Letters and Prefcnts with a wonderful Sa-
tisfaiifion and Content, and giving us all the Welcome
imaginable. He gave us Letters for our King, and a Pic-
lent of two entire Suits of J/r/un Armour, finely varnilh'd ;
and a long Sword and Waggedalh for my felf : 'Lis no be
noted, that the Cittans are a common wear ; but the
Tatchcs, or long Swords, are worn only by great Soldiers,
and Peribnsof the belt .-\ccouiu.
"\ is laid to I1C no Icfs than Twenty two Days Journey
by Horfc, from this City of I'Mo, to the Northermoit
part ot ,?.i/>/!K J which makes it a Country of a valt extent.
OurBulincfs here being no more than the paying of a Com-

The moll magnificent Temple of the whole Country

St. l'/!uh in Lontion from the Quire, arcliM, adorn'd with
mighty Pillars, and as lofty as that. It has one peculiar

The Temple Hands advantageoufly upon the top of a
hi.uli Hill, and upon each fide the Alcent you have a long
row of Coluinnsof Free-Stone, about 50 in each Scries,
ten Paces didant from one another, and upon the top of
every Pillar is a l.anthorn, the 1 amps in which are lighted
t-.ery night, and make a very glaring ll.ew. Thercarc
dneisother Teiiiplcsbeliiles this, but this vaftly exceeds
all the red in all Points of Beauty and (irandcur : 'Twas
jiift tinillied .iiour being there, the Foundation being laid
by the fani'd 'I'.ucoiniiir., whofe H"rl'e (in memory of
him ) i'.kepi in an apanment hard l^y, and is tolic iiiain-
lain'd here ill a l.ife of perfccll eale and reft as loni; as na-
t.ire will allow him to hold it out.
The ('("'i/jiifi'-Jcfuits have a (lately Collcdge in this
City verv \vell fuinillieil with men of that Society ; they
breed up' abundance of S^/cHrA- Youth, reading Philolo-
phy andihe Popilh Divinity tothcm.making a gnat many
iIk 111 Vreai hers, and I fuppofe at laft Jefuits too. There's
no d.mt t bm they endeavour to make them as good as they
<in, and amongit other Arts teach fome of thole that are
peculiar to their Order.
Thry have the 'New Teftament tranflated into thc7<j-
toncjc i'ongue, and belides this hofJefiil fry breeding up
in the College, there arc reckon'd five or fix thoufand
that profefs Chrillianity in Mci-.cc, Wliile we {laid here
we rtceivM the Kinpci-or's Prefents for our Kine, which
were fenr after us ; t /^. Ten Beobs or large Pidlures to
han;; a Room of State with.
Fp.iii hence we tra\cird to O/icrt, vvi.crc the Gaily that
fet us down before was attending mir return, co tranfport
us to Firittuh ; and this at the charge of the brave and ge-
nerous old Foyiif, the King of that place. This Prince
wascxticamly glad at our return to hislfl.ind, as alfo of
the fiiccefs of our Affairs at Court ; and had rarrici'. it
with the fame fteady and even hand of Kmdiicfs to our
Company left there that he did to all of us when together.
But vet the Trade amounteil to little or nothing in our
ableiicc, tlic '^i:frj,i(fc had been no good Cuftomers, tlio'
we hadttmie from tother endof the World to take their
Minev. One reafon of this was, becaufe it was not yet
certain that we were to be allow d in the Country, and
nil the Trade has it's publick Warrant froin the Emperor,
as no Stranger may oHer to fell, fo no Nativcjiiay dare to
Buy. Butanother thing (and of no inconfiderablc pre-
judice to us) wasihisi the molt pare of out Commodi-
IT em lii i!i
'TJfm 1.1
^vtmUr.
Cinu' to
tics we intended for ihele parts were broad Cloatht,
( which h.ad not long before been fold here at fony Rialls'
i>f Eight fir Mat which is two Yards) a fort of Ware
the Jupotiefe were now almoii out of conceit with, be.
raulc we did not take care to recommend the goodni.fs of
it by our own wearing.
■^'dii ( fay ihey ) cry up your broad Cloths to us, and Thf w
at the fame time hardly wear a rag of it your felves, but '''"' ''"''«
are all for your .Silks andStiitfii,and any thing in theWorld, ™!™
except jiitl v\hat you would have us buy of you. Andowuclii'
ihetrmh oii'i is, the yapdir/e »tc in the right, and their
Objedlii n not ealily to be aniwer'd ; we oiight to lie
morefonilut our own Country Commodities, and tell o-
thcr Nations they are v ahiable by the ufe of them we make ,
our fehts. Fori eiguers won't be fo ready to believe us if
they lee we don't wder our Falhions fo as to give a Repu-
tation to what we recommend abroad in the World ; and
for all 1 know other Nations may tell us as well as the
T.if'uiielc of not wearing our own broad Cloth, may re-
proach usvvith the neglciil of our own Commoditict,
and delpile them till they fee us do othcrwifc our
febes.
1 his VitAndo is a very good place for our Ships to put
in at with refpeill -o the Point of Vnihialliiig and all that,
but it is not lo proper for Trade 'u-caule it lies otT from
the main Ifland of Ji-.fnn, where ire not only the molt,
but the moll conlider.ible People, capable of giving an
encouragement to Trade, which in tliele little by-Ulands
is to be not exptvflcd.
We might, I don't queftion, be welcome at any of them .
all, and the Kings of two of thefe petty lllands ga\ c ais I
a lorinal imitation ; but there's few of them can afford '
a Bulinefs ihat will turn to account, and ilefray the
Charges of a Settlement. Therefore my Advice is, that
our Ships that come to Trade hero would (ail not tofi,
Fhnnti", hw to Ormir^aw unon the main Klaiid, and a- 1, ft'"'"')
bout 1 5 Leagues dillance from I'Mo, where lliey will"'"'''
find very g(x)d Riding and a much greater profpeift of
Advantage. This place indeed is not c.ipabfe of giving
lo^ood an Entertainment as may be defired, Provilions
are not altogether fo plentiful here as KFirando; but that
want miy be fupplied by a Correfpondencc. with the
circumjacent Country. Chrillianity makes no'confidera-
blc Figure comparatively any where in this Empire, but
at Mctico and Laitg.^ficjue, a Town (itu.ited upon the Sca-
Coad, about eight Leagues from Flrnndo. It had 'tis
ti|ue gotten footing in 1-Mo ; but the Emperor upon fonic
pique taken againft the Chriftians banidi'd them all from
thence, and confin'd them ro Lit)i^ipic,/ue ; and as a pre-
vention of it's creeping into the touiT, and rooting 't Iclf
atn- where near him ; he made it death to any thailhould
offer to build a Church or ling Mai's within ten leapics
of the place where he refided. This change was but a
very little time Mt'occ our going to I-Mo, notwithlfanding
which, the Religion is otherwile indiiljjed ; the Cluillian
7<i;>(mf/r at prefent have (as fur as 1 lee > the laii'e I'lo.
tedtion and Privilege with the others, and the Jefuits
fecm to enjoy an unredrained Liberty in the making oif
Profelytes.
The Foundation of a Faiflory being now (irmly laid
in the Emperor's full Grant to that purpofe, we proceed- ''"'*''
cd to build upon it, lK?iiigthe rather encouraged to it, in
that we were now alfir'd that /'i.,?'/?.' Fatitories were
adually fettled at, V/,i)H and (V^^»/f, ,Vs alfo that the OwfWi
made fomething of their Bulinefs here, and we had rea-
fon to believe we had not a lels Iharc in the Ccxid Will and
Efteem of this Country than they We therefore ap-,j ,
pointed lome 01 our Company to reliJc here upon 'liistkJ.
Affair, with iiidrudions alfo to make wh.it Difcoveries
they could upon the Coaft of Com-,-, lyhni.v. and other
parts adjoining againd the next return of th- Ship-..

Thus they fcrv d us, when one of our Company was tn

I kiinvv not hnw far rouml, becjufc the foppilli I'rielts
wou'd not fulfer us to bring ir along ih;- StuM, fandihed
by the Prefence of one (>f tluir Idol-'l'emples. And if we
had had no Boat or Skiff of oiir ovvn,to con\ey a Corps by
\V.iter, we nuilt e'en have burKd our Con.panions upon
the fpot where thev died, or have Hung them into rhe Sea ;
for tficy won't furfcrany of their Boats to touch the dead
Body of a Chriiliarv Nay, more than that, they won't
be hired, any of them, to dig a Grave ; lo that in this
Country we arc forc'd to be Sextoncs to one another, ha-
ving none elfe to do that Office for us : For the 'Ji-.jjane/c
willra'her endure the llench of a putrifying Body, than
fct the-r Hands to the laying it under Grouml.
The Bonzecsofthis Country are iriphty Pretet ' :'. co
the Knowledge of Future and Secret 'lliings, which they
fav are reveal d to them bv their Or.arle : 1 hiis they pre-
timl to refolve all forts of knotty, dark, rnyfterioiis Qi'e-
ilinns, to determine the Circumftanccs of cont'iigcnt F-
veiir> ; in lliovr, to give an account ol all thofe 'I hings,
which cannot be accounted for, but by fuppofing them to
ha.e fume fiipernatural Intelligence. But the mifchief
nn't is, they very often flioot belides the Mark ; their
Prediifkions and the Hvents very feldom agree : Upon
which accoiun (ince it is not to be fuppos'd that they
have thofe falfe Informations from any good Spirit), 'tis
pall all doubt, that eitiier the Devil tells them Lyes, or
they tell Lyes of the Devil.
"f hey very often put the Town into a difmal Fright a-
bout Fires, which they fay pofitivcly Ifiall happen fuch a
Day ; and then all the People are in a hurry, providing
Tubs and Buckets, and hlling Water againft the fatal
time comes ; and at lalt perhaps they have their Labour
for their Pains, and mav c en throw their Water out again,
for any ufe they h.-ive f<ir it at that Seafon. 'Tis true, the
Town is very often lired ; and I think it may be aliiiolt
compared with B.wr:i>n, for the freciuency of that Cala-
mity : But then 'tis very feldom fo, when the Boiizees tell
of it ; that they had better e iiher quite hold their Tongues,
or lav their Plot fo fare, ihat the Town may be let on
fire without fad : For we make no doubt at all, but the
Bonzecs arc either the Incendiaries themfelvcs,or at lead
fome employ 'd by them ; and that partly out of hopes of
petting Plunder, when the People arc in a Confiifion, and
of eftablilliing the Reputation of their Prediiftions, by m.v
king the F.vent anfwerablc. So that when a Fire docs
happen as they fiiretcl it, there's no necclfity of fuppoling
any Magick in the Cafe, or that an Oracle rcveal'd this

The martcr ftands thus : The Bonzees can't have their
dcfired Spoils, without fetting the Town a-fire, nor they
cant b<! Prophets, except they tell on't before-hand ; but
Spoil they will have, and Prophets they will be too, and
therefore to anlwer both thefe ends, they have no other
w.iy, but to form the Plot themfchcs, and tell the People
before-hand, that the Devil will put it in execution at
fuch a time. And when it is done, it is really perforin'd

the Extremities of Weather in that unquiet F.lcnient, never
faw any thing comparable to it ; and the oldell j'tponefe
then alive, declar'd it the grcateft Prodigy ever fcen ia
their Country.
The Airy Regions were all over in a Hurly-burly ; and
as one wou'd have iinagin'd (by the furious Motions they
were then put into) commencing a War that fliou'd end
in an Univerfil Confulion. The Noife of the Wind (r.a-
ging above the degree of a Tutfon) was accompanied with
a Uilchargc of Thunder and lightning fufficientto have
Ihakenthc molt tix'd and (leddy' Courage in the World ;
the Rains fell at the fame time, 111 a motf violent manner*
wjhich tho' perhaps an .advantage in rcfpe.'f of the Light-
ning, vet added exceedingly to the Horror of the Storm.
The Winds beat fo tiercely iiixm the Town, th.it above
a hundred Houles Were prel'ently overthrown ; ,1 great
part of the reft were until'd and laid open, and 'all trem-
bled, as if the Ear-.h it I'elf had futfcr'd a Convullion. The
Sea at the lame time feeling the EtFeds of the general

white, with li'tle Streaks of Amlier-colour. There is a-
nuthcr fort wimh comes trom Sum urn, which is very
pooil, I'ut not fo white and fine. And a thiid Ion, par-
ticularly (rciin /')/,(»Mti, and llArrowJe , which is \cry
tiiaife, and not valued in lugiwil, tho' at liint^m it poe*
otiwell.
fhfi, the I'cft is that which is of a deep yellow Colour,
inchniiip to that of (iold : If it be of any conlidcrable
Ape, .ind Uoks while, 'tis a lipn 'tis adulterated ; hut if
it be newly taken, 'tis natural for it to look foiiuthinp
whitidi, wiih bripht Co'our, by degrees, wears away
into a yellow.
AJ«>i(,i there are three forts of ir, black, brown, and
yellow ; of which the fiift is Hark naught, the I ' ond
aood, and the third belk of all : It oupht to be of tin. Co-
lourof the 1 til Spikenard fthat is of a deep Amber) and
inclofed within one Skin only, and not with feveral one
over another, as 'tis many times feen to Ik, and not over
inoilk neither, which increalcs the Wcipht, but is no lipn
of the (loodnels of ihe Commodity ; 'tisbeft to chufothat
alfo, that has fome few Hairs like Briitles, little Stones,
Pieces of I ead, or oiher 'I'lalli mix'd with it (for all this
is natural) and of fo Aronp a Scent, as to l>e rather olfcn-

any conliderable time. You mult take care not to keep
this Drup near any of \ our fine fccnted Spice.s, Icaft it lole
its own Odourthcreby.
BfifO'ti is of two kinds, the Occidental, and the Orien-
tal Bercar ; whiih latter is worth full double the Price of
ilie former. The Forms of both forts arc various, fomc
round, others lonp, like Uatc-iloiics, others like Pipeon-
Kpps, othersnpaininthcfliapeof a Kidney, or like a Chefs-
nut ; but all, for the molt pait, not Iharn and picked, but
blunt at il'o hhIf. There is as muih Variety in the Co-
loiirti o ; for iliere isa lipht Red, a Honey-C( lour, adark
Aik-color.r, but for the molt part 'tis of a Waterilh Green.
'1 Ik Oriental Bezoar (or that fiom the V.aSt-InAiei) con-
lills of feveral dilliiwit Peels, or Coats, lyi'ip one over ano-
ther, as thofe of an Onion. They a!l of them appear
bright and ll tninp ; but the inner one's Itill morerelplen-
dant than ihe outer : 1 hey are thicker or thinner, in no
certain pri>l'oiti( 11, but irolHy anxjidiup to the largcnels
of the Stone, and the Urgell are the molt \aluable, and
left for Sale.
.•\ certain way to try the Gcodncfsof your Bezoars, is
to pi.t the Stone i:;to the NV.-iter f.r three or four Hours
(ha\ ii'P lirll taken ilie tiMCl Weicht of it), then taking it
out, oi'llr^ e it' ihc S-.tLicc of ii be whole, and even as be-
fore, notdiujedbv tr.uks and Chinks j as alfo, at the
fame time, take the Wei;',hr of it again pretty nicely, and
if it weij'.hs ever fo liiiall a intter more than it diJ at the
firlt Trial, \oii may Iniild upon it that it is not good. In
this way of proieeiUiig, 1 have feen feveral Bezoars at
Tir.nt.itii (that ha\c pioiiiiv'd \ery tairro the Eye) dilfolvc
into a perfed Chalk, and difcover noiliing but traftiy mat-
ter in the inlidc. The places that ati'urd them arc J'.ifrtwr,

1 he Meafiirc that takespl.sie in thefe Couimixlities is the
Halta, which is about halt a Yard, or as unieli as from
the Elbow to the extremity of the Midille-finger : .And
fmiie of thcfc Cloths are more, and others lefs in length,
thiV none aliovc 34 Haifa's ; and in general, all Ions of

broad, and hold out a good length, arc in very good efteem
at B.iHMiH.
i The Cultoms taken at Br.ntr.m arc of feveral forts ; the
■ King's Cuftomcall'd Chuksy, is eight Bags upon the Hnn
lired, r.iting Pepper at 4 Rials of Eight />« Sack, what
Price foever it l»ears,
Then there is that call'd Bll'dili.in, which is thus: If
any .Ship come into the Read laden, the King is to be iiii-
ineiliiiely acmiainted with the Sorts, Qiiantities, and
Prices of the Commoilities in her, before any part can be
landed ; upon wliiili lie len.ls his Officers to the Ship, and
takes of all ilie for:s what lie likes, perhaps at half your
Pr.ce, or it 'l.tv 1 e fonuiliing better, according as you
canagrec. .So if you lade Pepper according to the Law of
this Duty, yon |».iy fur every 6000 Sacks, 666 Rials, or
clfc arc obliged to be the King's Chapman for as many
thoiifand S.icks, at one half, or thiee fourths of a Rial
morcth:iii the Current Price of die Town.
The /J/I/.7' indeed go a more conipendions way to work,
and to avoid the trouble of the Duty, agree with the King
lb irnch in ilic grofs, for the l..-iding of a Ship, which is
gencr.illy about Icven or eight linndied Rials. And 'tis to
Ik' noted, that th;)' you lia\e ever fo prndenily provided

it l(K)ks agreeably within.
The Wares to be carrie.I hither, are Chopping-knivc-s

.Approbation of the People.
Their vs'ay of Dealing is by Bah.ir and Cattce: The

Wc fail'd from hence to the Coaft of Tndin, and came
to an Anchor at the Bar of Smnt. The People cxprcfs'd
a great deal of Satisfaiff ion at our Arrival, and a very pro-
mifing appearance there was of good Trade and kind
Ufage amopgrt them ; the Govcrnour of Sumt fending his
Certificate aboard for our affiiiance in that point. How-
ever, to gn upon the fiireft (irounds that cou d be, we con-
cluded to fend a Difpatch to /^r.,-, to know diivdlj from
the GrMf A/o;;/// himlelf, whether we fliou'd be permitted
to have a Free Trade, and to fettle a Faiflory in his Coun-
try, which otherwife we wou'il immediately depart. And
the Refult of it was this ; that in a very little time the
Govcrnour of Jm.td-vnr came to ns with full Power to
treat upon that Subjeif, and to cnrtrinto folemn Articles
with us, which wcie to be ratified with the Seal of the
Crcnt Mrgul, in forty Days after, or tlfe to be null and

an AciO.;ii!: of this .Aiftion afterwards to the A/c^;/!/ him-

Reputation the Pott ague ^eh^iX all over that Country, to
be invincible at Sea.
'1 he Pfrtii«_iu-:;r own thcmfclvcs to have loft 1 6o Men in
this Fight, but the Country reports very near 500: We
had not lix Men in all killed and wounded ; our greatcft
lofs was Powder and Shot, there being fpent fixty Barrels
of Powder, Six hundred and eighty Great Shot, and Three
thouf.ind Small Shot ; tho' we hope to fomc good pur-
pofe, as well for t'.-.- inereale ot our Nation's Reputation,

Adverfary.
Having waited here at Siir.it fome time, the 'Mogul s Ra-

He is one of the belt accomplilh'd Princes that Country

difcovcr themfelvesin hisPcrfonand Carriage, and while
he (hews you all the Greatnefs and Majeily of the one, he
does no lets charm you with the Civility and Good Breed-

tial Afpcct and brave Spirit, than he is either of the for-

the Qualifications of a gootl General do as well belong to
him, as thole of a fine Prince.
He w.->s mighty free to (hew us all the Sports and Di- sporti r tht

The Country was not a little revived, to fee the Di
fpiite fo fuccefsfnlly managed againft the PoUiigurr^e -. Thus
far \W:cl'chA» was by this time indiftcrcntly well reco-
vcr'd of his Fright ; and now began to Boun.e as the
Vicc-Roy did Iscfore ; declaring he had no mind to make
Peace with them ; and he neicr wou'd agree up-
on any Terms u ith them, but what fhould be eipially ad-
vantageous to us, and to themfelves. He lent us in Pro-
vilions too fir our own Neeellities ; and Timber, what
We wanted, lor anv Reparations of our Ships; and no-
thing in the Worid cou'd be more obl'ping to h'm than
this Fight was ; in the Honour ot whiih he hop'd to have
ll-,are,tlio'heliad none intheDanger and hardScrviceof it.
In ih.' mean time the Jeluits took as much pains to pro-
vl'.le our l)ellriiO>ion at 1 and, as their Friends thj /V.*, -
p ) 111 ilum, (;;/.»- -had to ruine us at ,Sea ; and fincc noo'hi.T way was

but the Invention and Contri ance they wo'i'd firnilTi hun

h.id all our Water. But he a Man of jult and honourable
Principles, <)er,iUnp in his Heart fo bale a Vil.'any, reic-

and know by an infallible Sign, wheiher the leiiiits had
fccicilv poifon'd the V.'a'cr or no ; he Mid us, he had put
foHiet'ortoiles into the Well ; which by dying wou'd de-
nv nllratc the r.bufe of the W.itcr.
The I'm I w.'.-v.- all this while lay ftill as to any .Attempt
upon us ; but the World was very b'die at the lame time,
in t.ilkiun of 'hem, and their i olTe-s fuftain'd in the late
Fncounter. F'or the News came from tVi/;.».', that the\
had fent ^50 Men to be buried there ; and by a modell
Computation, we can't allow lefs than a hundred more

were driven out of the other pun i of that Country, and
retired forllieltcr intothcfc Mountains, where they lie fe-
curc and quiet.
Formerly they were far morctroublefome than they are
now, and n fed to cut ort' whole Caravans jt once, lying
continually in Ambnfcades for thar putpofe ; but the ta-
iling of the Swettnefs ami Piofitof Trade, has made them
a little more civil ; and partly too, the Awe they Itand in

ll'.ou'd c\cr make an ablolute Conqiieltof them, wh.atevcr
Kellraints his Fortes may lay them imdtr. But they are
not yet acquainted with lo much Homily and Huni.anity,
as to forbear injiring thofe that h.ippen to fall into their
Power, when they can do it vvitho.it running themlehes
into any danger thereby. If they meet anv (Irappling
I raveller, they won't fail to make a Prev of liiin, carry-
ing him tip into the Mountains, where he is lold fi.r a

of a Life of ptrpeteal Drudgery.

IN the foregoing Voyage wc haic fecn the Etigl^p-^
(ciiling theiiilc'lves in a new Dwelling in the Ealtern
Coniu'ient, and a potent Prince (hidierto a Stran-
ger tn them), giving them a kind Welcome at their
Arrival. Our Nation had made her Succefshil Vilits to
all the Potent-itcs and States ainioft round the bhiis, but
(tie had never yet made any conliderablc Attempt at the
Fricnillliip and Correfpondencc of the Great Sr.morin of
C; .■«,.'. , , r I ■
That Prince, how vv:<T:hy foevcr he might be of this
N'oiicc, yet was hither '-jLtrdly capable of lieing a l-riend
to the r.>igii/l\ becaufc of his intimate Correlpondencc
wiih the \'orrii!^iir:;r, their moft irreconcilable Advcrlarics.
But th.at Band of Union being broke, and the Ponn^^ii^^e
infuad of F.^vov rites now proelaim'd his Enemies ; the
Prince is prcparM for a new Alliance, and the l'.>i;ili(h arj
invired to take their places. And befides the prefent Di-
flnfsof the W.-ir with the Pmrupi-:;^!; and the Delirc of
1 routing them cmiicly out of his Dominions (in whiclithc
Valour and Sttenpth of the i,*;^'//'.' might be of conliiie-
rable ufe to him), there might probably be a more valua-
ble Caufc inclining tho S,^m:r!ti to this Friendly Carnage

•»"■"' h.iddefired liini to move to his Prince, that a favourable
I Futcrtainmcnt nviglit be given to our Merchants that

cnctcaling Fame of the I'.r^lijh in rlicfc parts, uprn that
fcnal Vidf ry over the whole Power of Vortu^rl, might
d:fpole the Prince to ) ield to thole Motions.And lince that

As for the Proceedings of the Fadory (as far as ap-
pears by thofe impcrfciiV Memorials' they were not lb
liicccfsiul as one wou'd have imagin'd they might have
been. Where the Fault l.iy is hard to determine, clpeci-
ally amongfl fo fly and fubtlc a People, nnd fo perfei't
Dilfomblers as the InJ.ir.ns generally arc. The King car-
ried it fairly to thcni, and the People feem'd fond ot their
Company, and yet ibmc fecret Obftaclcs prevented the
growth and increale of Tiade. 'Twas fomc time before ^ittU,
they cou'd procure a Licence to carry their Goods to C.;-"^- ^- '<"'
kcut ; however, that w as permitttd after many Uelavr,
and the Factors went away to make a Trial of their For-
tuii^ .at that pl.ace.
Ac their tirft coming thither, they were forc'd to take
up in the Publick Cultom-Houl'e for a Scafon, till a more
convenient place was made ready for the Reception of
tlioni, and their Mcrchandice ; and if the Welcomes of
the People wou'd have done the Bufincfs they came for,
they had undoubtedly made a very profitable Work of it.
But tho' to have to do v\ ith good tcmpcr'd People be a
great advanfge, yet to be under the Command of an
ill tcmpcr'd Govcrnour, is a Difadvantage that in many
refpccts overballanees the contrary Advantage, and makes
it of little ufe and figiiifioancy.
Now this w.as the misfortune of the Eiigr,fl:i]\cK, thc-riieirSuflct:
Govcrnour was a perlidiouidiifeiiibling Fellow, a Friend msi !>y ih«

w;
Our Fatlors being a little fcttlcil at CM ciit, wou'J fain
have given Notice to their Friends ami Correfpondcnts at
S»i-(!f, of tlicir new I'Hrbliliineiit here; Init tlic treache-
rous Govcrnoiir xroiiM not jiermit ir, till all ihc Cooiif.
Avcrofold otF, that thofc at S„i^r (as lie I'leteiuied) might
be the better cncourapcd to lonie thither too. And when
by his procurement a part ( 't tlie Goods were fold off to
the Merchants of C.i/r.M', they v.cu- fo dil'pos'd of, that
they had as good aiuiolt have kept ilicm dill in their
hands ; for the Culiomers he lu-lpil ihrin to, were fuch
as brought no ready Money ; and tho' fpccdy Payment
was promis'd, yet by their many IXIays, and lliuHling
Tricks, the Debt appear'd to be Irtle better than defpe-
r"-ic. However, after this bepinnini'. i>f the Trade, he
cou'd not defend himleU any longer from their Importi'-
nities alwiit feniliiig to Si,-,it ; \vlu> h was acccrilingly
done, tho' the Attempt was atceniled with a very great
misfortune : For the Meifkng^-r difpaieliM thiiherw.mls,
came back again with a Story, T h.ii he was beltr by
the way with ihieves, foumlly luateii, and roMiM of all
ills Money and 1 etters : The Circumitanees of which
were fuch, as afforded flircw'd Siif| iriors, thr.t the Fellow
was robb'd with his own Ci nienr, and for lii>own parti-
cular part loH nothing but his Hi.neliy. The Governotir
too hung down the flead \ipon the Kcport, and difeo-
ver'd fome plain Symptoms of a guilty Concern in this
matter.
New all this while the Merchants of Cr.\:u! and X.tJ.
f'paic, were bulie a bti". fng, but it was all upon thcStock
Mathsnii. of Cr. dit ; the Trade went on, but no Money came in.
And whether the Governour and the Delncrs had agreed
together to Iharetiie Profits of the Cheat betwixt them, or
110, vet tis certain, that they liid by Bribes procure him
to get the Payment detiir'd, and put off fioin one time
to another : So that if he was not a Knave of as great a
magnitude as that come:, to, yet he came as near the Pro-
portions of fuch a one as he well could.
The Siiinorin himfelf, all the while , carried it with
the fame fteddy Hand of Fa\our and Refped to them,
and no convincing Circumllancc appears, that renders his
Fidelity fnfpeifted, or refledts .iny part of the Biainc of
the Mifnianagement upon him: And if hcwasfalfe, he
wasib with a wondertui deal of Art and Policy, and his
Treachery was fo fine, that (if it could be a pardonable
Crime) it wou'd deferve it upon that fcnre.
..^ ...V... But the Governour and the Merchants were bare-f.\c'd,
thcVtookwin comparifon; thefe latter cou'd find no Money to pay
jet their (j,ji,. yd • s_ but they cou'd for Bribes and Prefents to the
j«oney. Governour, in order to the fecuring his Proieiilion and
Countenance in their ill Ueligns. Some Courfe there-
fore niuft be taken, to force their Right out of the hands
of thcie People, or they muft refolve to be (till put upon,
in like manner, by e\ery Knave of the Country ; orelie
if not that, they muff quite throw up their Bulini-fs, and
bid Adieu to all Trade at CV /c. ut.
Now nothing cou'd give Jiem a more happy advantage
in this matter (had the bell Fancy beiM I'et a Work to con-

thcic foiiic little time, alu't my lotip and tedi-
ous Voyngc, I l)Cf;.in my journey towards the
Court ot the Gii.it Mci^iii,
Thcloiintry that lies between Sumt and lifinpnty as
far as it fell within the rcaeh of my Oblervaii'n, is for
the incilt part poor and barren ; the Towns and Villages
built of Mud, and other bale Materials, and hardly a con-
venient Houlc upon the Uoad for a Traveller to lodce in.
'1 here api ear'd xery little of the Pomp and Pleafi.re of
i//.i'>,or of its Riches and Frnitfuincls.this viay that I went,
tlid' i,rhtrR( ads might pofllMy difcour more. .'\t a cer-
tain Village callM H.ithcpoit, two Mile llinrt oi .i^.niijuot,
is iheir great Siore-houfe if Ordnance; I law .abundance
of Brafs Pieces there, of the /i/./M),-niake, which I'ccms to
be very irregular, thofe Guns being tor the molt part as
much too ll.ort, as the Bore of them (in projionion) is too
wide.
Between this and Biiinf't, I was met by the Cutwall
.• (or Mjrlhal) \> ith a good Attendance, and fo conduct d
'• tu the 1 oilgiiig prepar'd forme. But my Apartment was
A.cMv.r, ' J"- f" "ic'.iii ami fcandalous, that I ch( fe rather to lodge in my
J.iicris in.vi; 'J cut, than take up with it ; it cnnfiiii 1 of four iittic Di-
vilions, not fo iiuu h 1 ke Chambers as Ovens, being cx-
ac'Vly of tha* form, nnd a verj fmdl matter bigger. This
forry Treatment obliged me to fend the Cutwall word.
That I v,ould depart the Town out of hand, (ince I was
entenain'd no better : But he delird me to fubniit to it,
at lead for tliat one Night, a.id cyprcOcd fo much un-
wiilingmfs that I 'houlJ go avay in a difcontent, that I
yielded to Itay there.
But there was a more powerful Reafon to induce my
O.ay, than all the Cutwail's Prrfwalions, and that was a
kiiui of necfliity 1 lay under of making a Vifitto Sultan
l'eii[!~ (tlie King's Second .Sonj, who refided .at B:iinpoir,
at 'h:'.t time. Here he lives almolt in the fame Royal
Pomp that his Father does ; c vail Crowd of Nobles, arj
amighiy /«rmy is c er alxmt him ; and Cm Cnm,.), \hc
(jeneraliiruiio of the A/,'j»/'s Forces, manages all AHairs
under lum.
1 could not avoid waiting upon this Great Perfon, fincc
to ha\c pall him by, would have been interpreted a vet)
lUT ot" h s
Ritcpiiiii.
. Then I deli-
red I he 1 lU-rtj ot a Chair ; but that cou'd not be admit-
ted neither , tor his Highnefs anlired me, That no Man,
of how great Qiiality or Charader focver, did ever lit in
thatpi.ue, \y.i himfelfoniy : Yet as a more than ordin.iry
Favour, 1 wa. permitted to cafe my felf, by leaning up.
on one of the Pillars that funponed his Canopy. Upon
the whole, I imift fay, the Prince carried it to mc in a
m.innerfiifliciently crurteous and obliging.
The State and Pride of thefe /W/Vj« Princes is intolera-
ble, and they will liardly upon any account whatfoever,
abate the leaH Pundiho of Ceremony and Refpcvt ; but
I belie. e I h.ad as many, or more ConcelFions m.ade me,
than anv of n.y Charaiiter, and the Prince cendefcended
to lower Terms in treating with me, than the Itrid and
nice Rules he ufually obferves, do allow of. He did the Er,.;
main Bulinefs I waited on hiin for, at the firtt Word, "4'.'
\yithoiit the lead fcruple or helitation ; the fettling of a "'"■'■
Fadory there in Binmpmt. He gave order for the Firman
to be prefently drawn up ; which was to Authorize the
Merchants loth to come, and to redde there.
The PrcK nts I made him, he took very kindly ; and F
had now gotreti lo much of his Favo(\t that I was inv itcd
to a free and familiar Cmverfation with him, in a more
retired pl.ice. At t -at Publick Audience, and before fo
great an Appearand^,''/,.; was obliged to confult his Grear-
nels, and carry it with more itatc and diftance ; but he
would withdraw into another Room, where all that ftiff.
ncfs Ihould be laid a(ide, and I (liould have the Liberty (as
he told me) of coming up to him.
But an odd AccidLut deprived me of this Honour: For
a partof iin' Prcfent to him, 1 einp a Cafe of Bottles fill d
with rich Cordial Waters, the Prinre ( who was going
into the withdrawing Uo<,m) fiipp'd lo liberally of his
Bottles by the way, that he Ueamc wiiollv unfit fir
Company at that time. 'Twas a fiulden turn, and the
Strong- Waters were prefently got up into his Hit-hnelVs
Head ; but there they were, and that to lii. h purpife,
ihnt he was fore'd to fend an Officer to excule his net cal-
ling tor mc now, and t ideliie my Company feme other
time.
Having finifli'd all that rc(inired my day and prcfenee
.vU,rw,.ir, I proceedeil in my Journey towards the
Court. By the way travelling thro, gh •he Country of
* /<./.: li-imr, I had a piofpcilt of the Ruines of the an-' Stm

From hence I proceeded in my Journey fur /Ifmerc,
vohere the Court was at that t.n.e; and having lefted
fume time ii\ die Fodgini's provided for me, went to
haieniy titll Audience. The Ceremonies of this were

himfelf lif.ir.g in the fame n'.anner, and his Koblcs and
Attendants in the fa.iie polkurcs about hini, that it does
not need any particular Uclcription. It is fufficient to
fay that there is a lively rcprefentation nf a Tiieatei
when this Monarch l;ts in .State upon all publick CVca

bout him upon thcAfcents of his Gallery f rais'd to a
lonlidcraWe height ) appear like the Aiitors on a Stage,
vvhilllallthe wondering croml belcw in the Pit are em-
ploying the utmolt Itrength of tyes and Kars, to fee and
hearwhat psiles above. When I came into the preli-iiee,
and had made my feveral Reverences to him, he was
pleas'd 10 prevent my dull Interpreter and begin himfelf ,
indding mc heartily welcome; wi.'lcome t" h'ln who
was the Friend and Brother of my Mailer the King of
l-.Ki^ii-.ihl. Heci'rioully viewed his Majeihes 1 citers, my
own Commiilion as Fmbanadour, and the Prefei-.ts 1
brought him in my King's Name. .And becanfe 1 had
bcenill a conliderable^part of the Journey, very kindly
otfer'd me the Carclnid Atliltance of his own Phyhcians,
and gave me a veiiy' great charge to look nicelv to ilic
pilfer* ariiin of my Health while I vas in his Country ;
f'r wliich purpiil'e he ad' is'd mc-il') keep my Lodgings
till 1 had perfectly reco\erM iry (i.'ength ; anil if in the
mean time 1 wanted rny thing necillary to my eafe and
rcfrclhinenc, 1 1 lend freely to hnii, whom 1 ihoiild al-
w.iys hnd ready to grant my Oelires. If the I'bferva-
tionsof the i'.ui p.'rtj.'jtheieprcfeiu were jidl and impartial,
1 was recciv'd by him with more Fxpr.iiicns t:f (iracc
ami (iood Will than any tmbanhdour had been befne.
1 hadthe Lil erry granted of uling the Culloms of my
own Country, and wa' not obl.g'd to that very fervile
adc ration, that kneeling and knocking of the Ground
with the Head, that the 'i'l/; and I'crji.ni Fmball'admirs
can never be .admitted into his Preleiice without. "Fwas
al!ow'd .^lc to pay my refpe^-'ls to him in th.' fame man-
nerihat I did to n'y own Piince, and proviiiedF obferM-d
thole CeremoniesexacHy, he would nut impole thole of
hisown Court and Country rp; n mc.
One particular of h.s M.ijellies Prelent to ihis Prince
being a fine Co.ich ( a thing wholly new, and cnnle-
quently to be prefumcd plcifing to him ) he was fo taken
with it, that he got the fame Night intr) it, and m.tde
tome of my Men draw him aUnit the Court. And his
/•"'.i; /'' Coach-nan has a rare p'acc out, and will in
all prolMbility quickly get a very great F.Hate, lince, bc-
(ides a noble Salary which is allowed him, he feldom
drives the A/(i;.'/.' any where, but he has a Prefent to the

( tearing fome affront) I lirll lent word of my delign of
coining to wait on him when he was pleas'd to recei\ e mv

couipsiilant than the Chaiaiiler of his Temper allow 'd
me to expeiJl ; he return d me a pronule of good Fnter-
taiiinri t, and wasfar genteelerand civiler than he had
promis'ii 10 be. ldeli\ei'd him a Prefent ('not as from

full and elfeClual Rcdivl's of ailCtrievances at Siir^:, and
to give any Security that could be dcfircd for the Qiiiet
and D.fenccof our la'.itory there. 'I his w.as .is much as
could b.- crav'd at lis Hands, and having obtained this,
I iefi: him with no fmall Satisfadioii at my Happy Suc-
li
tefs. And 'twas not long after l)cfcre I had nccali.^n to ad-
drefs the King himfelf ( a lecond time ) about thefe
Aflain.
Our /.''I-'///- featedat /f»ni./.(«.(r had l>ecn horribly in- H^'fivioi'

mcafurcsof JulHce and the eftablilli'd Rules of Trade.
But thisBurden wastakcnoff ctfecl-'ally at my fbll Com-
rlaiut ; I think the Rafcals elcaped widi the'.r Li\ es, but
they were (Iriiltly commanded to do )iillicc, and make
rellitntion to a Farthing of all that tli.y had fo illegally
extorted from the Metihaiiis. And to make all this as
tineas might be, there were two Iiriiians drawn ij), in
which was panted a compleat Relinte from all thole new
Cultrmis, all Money (.(.'(Mxls taken upon that account
ordcr'd toberelfor'd, and .i Cunlirmation of all the Fa-
loiiis and Pi .ilcges f. rmrily vouihlafed to our Mer-
i hantsand I adors. Bur 'tis to I co'l I'erv'd I never went
to Court but I carried fome Preier.- ir ether f r the
King .ilways experts it, and that from ever) Body that
lomes abu'.it Bulinefs ; be i' ever fo fii all he acuprsir,
even as low as the \alue of a linele Rupie, and fmni
many People it docs not erne to much more ; lo that
euiiliderirg iliis, it feeins to be rather a piece if iiaii;
than any thing of the etfcc't it an.Avaruiois Temper.
' / is h.-ird tofnppofe a Monanh as rich as a'l this noble
part of the World can make him, that is able to pave his
vsav with Gold and Precious Stones, and build hun
HoufesaimoU with the fame coltly Materials ; 'tis hard
to imagine him lo lijididlv Coietoi!<, as to demand a
Rupie of an Infcriour or a Poor SubjeOt, mnrly for the
lucre of the Money. AntI vet unleis a Man cimples
with this Cultom there's nothing to be done, and his
C;iule tlio' ever f i jiiH mull be ulliered in with ilmie
acknowledgment of this n.-iture, or never come before
theKing, for which Rcafon it may more probably be a
Dffign of Policy than any bale Intei-.t to fqueeze his
Subjeds, and rake away their Mi.ney from them, efpeci-
ally the poor ones, who obferve the fame Law in their
proportion with the rell.
What 1 prcfcntcd his Majcfty withal upon thefe Oc-
cafions, had generally the good Fortune to be very well
liked, tho often of no great value ; and the King took
as much care to make thote that were about him ienliblc t le .w./u/'j
of it, by feveral Methods in which he exprelVd his kind J. '^"' '.°,*''
Refentmcnts. He commonly m.ade me Itand nearer to .iLrwl' ' "'

Painting is an .-^rr in wh.eli th s Prince is mightily de-
lighted ; he lo^esto fee a ciuiousP.ece. and will difeoiirfe
of it with Skill and Judgment. And 'tis certain, that his
C00.I Pdiii- own Country can, and does, ftirni'li him with luitcrtain-
itr» mindiM. „.^.mr, of i|,is kind, and fiieli as a curious Fancy may be
well cnonpli ple.is'd with.
1 could not have thought, that hiitl/t had prodiie'd .'\r-
tids fo skilful and ingenious, .is I have feeii by fomc Piei es
which HisMajcrty liiewd me. A Pie'fure whiih I pre-
fented him, and was very confident no Workman in that
Country cowld have tolcr.ibIy imitated, w.as done with lb
much Art .and Hx.acVncfs, that I was puzzel'd todiiliii-
guilh my own Original from thole Copies which were t.a-
keii from it. The \t ij.v/ was mightily picas'd with this,
and bo.-illcd vi' his Mens Skill to a high degree ; he rei-
kon'd it a kind of a Victory, and in apleafaiu way tri-
unph'd over me .iccordingly. A great ileal of Jelt, and
diverting Rallery, pifv'd upon this occafion ; but theCon-
clulion of it was, thr.t 1 was to pay the Painter for his
Work ; and the King muft needs know too \vhat I in-
tended to give him : Which matter was well enough
made up betwixt us, and the Prince and the Painter both
pleas d.
So flronply did his Fancy work this way, that not long
after he fent for me in great haitc to Court, and that out

maich'd .dong ; which (all tlii.gs ci^nlid'er'd) I ihoughc
one of the tiiieit and moft agreeable Sights that Day af-

At this time (having an opportunitv) 1 iv.ove.l ,tf.,pfi

diniely apply my felf to the King. He was ier\ lui-

bout it alre.idy ; and it had bien aCfually dime and lent
tome, but that tliele Solemnities (if his Bir'th-Day had ta-
ken them off trom flulinels.
But thcle fair Words were only intended to keep mc
quiet, and pivient my carrying the Matter bef'ii-e tin-
King again : This Mmiltcr never deligned m\ Biilincls
Ihould be done by the King's i iimediate Orders, but re-
fob ed to make me depend wholly upon the Prince, which
he knew I was very backward (and with good Reafoii)
to do. For alter allihis pretence, he had tlu- Confidence
to fend me word, Tliat he would prixure nothing at all
from the King, that any way coneern'd that Prince's Go-
vernment, as our 5.(ivir Atfiirs did ; but that I ought to
cxpciit all from the PrinCe'sGood Nature, whofe Autho-
rity was great enough to grant Firmans fuflicient for our
purpofc.
Ill this Perp'exitv I refolvcd, for once, to try the Prince, Thrr-'.
and endeavour as much as could be to procure his Favour '"^"' '''■
by a feeming entire Depcndance upon him. .And as an'""'

■ ' The Bi;lin>ls of the I>kiiii Wars hung yet infufpcncc,
iind this niii;lity Monarch's Arms did not profpcr in that
C'<imitrv. Sultan IV/.i/A' was now eume from hii Charge,
and adiaiiiing near the Court, hoped to have had the Fa-
Miiirofki. ling his Father's Hands: This the Old Prince
had grantetl, had it not been for Sm uulal, who wasem
p'liMil iiiiiioiibtedly by Sult.in Coi^oH, and that Fadlion,
to diiui the King from (hewing ihif Kindncl's to his El-
der Rn.rher.
The Charms of that Woman (which could work him
into any lort of Compliance), prevail'd wiih liim at this
I ftin.-f time, to licnv his I'lefence to a Son that defcrv'd it j and

Now Sultan O^ »i'i way to the Wars of Drmi was

ohiain a great de.-4.of Glory by it. But the Great Gene-
ral in thole parts, Vr. Cli.m Cniiihi, was fo much againlt
ir, ilat he lent the KhiR .i Letter to forbear fending that
Prime to command there ; and rather (if one of his Sons
nmlt be in play) to order his youngcft to undcnakc that
Pod.
Now the King had as much mind to have Chun Cunnti
away from the D.t.oi Wars, as that General had to keep
Sulian Crtfoon out. For in plain Tenns, he was fnfpcdlcd
Viiti.frofof a treacherous Correl'pondence with the Enemy ; and
tr ilSi.ciii 'nvas confidently aflerteJ, that he had a Penlion from the
»f:h, tt,ii King of OffiiH ; No vN'onder then that the War futceeded
no U-ttcr, and that the vaft Armies of the Mogul had
not yet beaten the liccr.pcci out of the Field ; but on the
coiitrar), were continually infulted by ihcm. T he King
M IS paitly fenhble ot this, and therefore commanded
liini to come to Court : But he was fo politii k and civil
to hinilelf, as to ilelire his Majelty's Fxciile ; he llad no
nrnd to lie poyfnn'd, or have his Head cut od" ; and go-
iiig to Court in his Circumllances, had very probably
been goiiij; to F.xeev.tinn.
I'lmii tins the Kill); r^loh'd to (ind his Son Sultan C<r-
ri"i, and to coiiiiiiiiance his Reception, determin'd to
fol'iiw himfelf wiih am tlier great Army. But the fubtle

tilice to divert it, and f'l pnvent the Danger that threat-
m'.l him. lie perlvvadcil ilie Itrr.iupci (who were entirely
at hisServii.-), to Imd Fniliairalors to the Afc^w/, to de-
fre a Peace, or at lealt a Cidation of Arms for fomc time.
Kilt [hislriik vvoiilil nut take; and the limbafladors
('lid' thi'y otl'er'd very advantageous Terms) cou'd not j
biii.g their Bulinels to bear. For the M-icnl turti'dthem
liver for an \nf\vrr to his haughty ainbitious Son, with
vvhnin alone he had left the Power of Peace and War :
And the Prince abfolutely reiedcd their Propofals, tcl-
lini; then. He would enter into no Treaty till he bad ap-
pcai'd in ihe Field, at the Head of hir Annies.
All the Counti; dreaded the Etfcifls of this Prince's
violent afpiting 'lempcr ; the King himfelf could not but
lee it too, and yet hardly dared to controul him. His
two elder Sons were difcontented, as well ar the Father's
Falinel's and Indulgence, as at the faiflious ufurping Pra-
diccs of this Son ; and all Men expeiSed that the Feuds
and Animofities between thefc Brothers, would involve
the Country in the greatcft Confulion, whenever the Old
Prince went off the Stage. The Wifer Part very well
forcfaw, that the bcft way to prevent thefe Calamities,
%!('( would be to fecure and eftablifh his Eldeit Sons Title to
M Son the Crown, before he left it himfelf. For this Prince was
If ,J';^P'»- fo much the Darling and Defirc of all the People in gc-
t_,. I ' ncral, '.-vnd it fecms julUy fo for his admirable Vertues '
that in cafe «ny of hJ« Brothers rhou'd endeavour to di-
Iturb him, or iiand in Competition with htm, hislntcrcft
in the Hearts of the People was fo gocxl and BrcAt every-
where, that no oppoiite Fatlkioii would lie able tu Hand
before him.
This Noble Prince (Suhan Cuifcu'm) was at this time,
and had U'en a pood while, under his Father's Difplca-
fure) at lealt under the external i<piiear«ncesol it j for
'twai thought the M«tul loved him deeply in his Heart,
tho' he I'ancied the Brigiitnels of his Venues, and lllulkri-
oils AChons, did render Ins own (ilory lels conl'picuouj,
and therefore condemn'd liim to a Life of Solitude and
Confinement.
But 'tis certain the People did not .idore and love him
more, thati Sultan Oifow, and all that Party, hated, ma-
ligned him, and contrivrd his Kiiine : But iiefoie I men-

he fent him word, T hat he lliould take li.s i lioiee, either
immediately to lay down his Arms, and throw hi.nlclf
upon his Mercy ;or tife prepare for a Battel,and leave Mat-
ters to be detennin'd by the Chance of War. Thr Prince
accepted the former of thefe Propol'als, thinking it lafrr
to trull his Father's Mercy, than to ftand a Trial with his
well-known 'Valour, and therefore without any more a-
doe, humbled himfelf at his Feet ; and fo (after tonic
Difgraccs, and a (hort Iirprifonmcnt) was reftor'd .igain,
at the Importunities of his Mother and Sillers. But 'tis
to be noted, that while he was thus up in Anns againll his
Father, the Old King, to punilh him for his Rebellion,
difinherited him, ami prodaiin'd Sultan Curjeronn, liis lil-
deft Grandfon, HeirApparentof his Empire. "Twas but

On tile (ther hand, Sultan Cmfci.^n ptvfuming upon the
Title cnnfei r'd on him by hisfiiandfatlier.took up .-'iims to
mainrain his Right ; and tiding to l.ai.vi, gatherd an Ar-

cjuickly teivcil him asbefore he had been f rved hnnl'eif ;
lent a Power after liim to reduce him to his Duiy, which
the Vaiiant Prime as loon gave l'.,uel to, and entirely

liis I ather li'iiilelf marching towards hiin w.tli ano'her
very great inie, the Prince's Men wete i-,\ ' e tir'd rut, and
were .able to hold the Field no longer.
The unfouunatc Prince himfelf Hed away w ih a few

had riMch'd, his Father would h.ave been put to I'omc trou-

to t afs a River, his Over-cagernefs to get (,ut of the reach

I'ufpedlcd and difcover'd : His Gold beiray'd h'ln, and
told that he was the Prince. The Water-man ha' ing

leap'd out of the Boat, and I'uimming to the oppoiite lide,
went and inform d the Ciovernoiir of the adjoyning Town
what a PalTenger he had in his Boat. 1 his was very grate-
ful News to that bafe Officer, who hop'd to rail'e his own

Troop of Horfe, and there falutcd the Prince with all the
Humilitv in the World, complemented him with the Ti-
tle of King, and invited him to Repofe at hisHonfc : But
after all, the Villain having him in his Power, lock'd

"I'was dilcover'd by th.u time we had been abroad
n->me I Ja\^, that this PropreC's was not luvieriaken meerly
I'ur a Uiieiiloii as':t uled to be, but that the Kinj; intended
to move foiiie part of the way towards .Sultan C'rroo"'s
Camp, the more tofiiiihten the .'J ..urn w;th the Noife
of hiscominp, a^aUb to keep his own mupiiet Army the
better in order.
'1 his was the cfledl of the Com. '.el of iVww/'.i/ and
ylj :;h Cur, whoperlwaded him his f,oingoi;t would ecr-
lainly be attended with thefe pood Confequcnccs. But
it happen'd a'l wrong; for News eanie that the HavN.a
werere'.blved to fiphr, and lay ready iron the Borders
with a very itronp Army to entertain his whencuT they
(lioiild think fit to move that way ; alio, that Sul-
tanCt'MH wasadvanc'd bi;t alitiic Ipace 'vith his For-
ces, and notwithitandinp all his bouncing at Ctairt, was
terribly aha d 1 cth of the nre/-i...-j and of Ciwul'minn,
which were fTry dcfpieabic Enemies to hiin before.
I'pon this Account the lanic Connfellors now advifed the
King not to proceed with his li'.f' Uelipn, but to direcl
his Coi'.rfe to //(jir, and turn th. t'rogreU into a Hi'nting
Match: M he /)ci.:)/uhey thoi;.,! t would not i., ike His
Majclly pood (port at this time, at leaft not fo pood
and di\ crimp as the Vild Bealls of the borclt woi'ld.
But wo'feNewsthan this (tome) caircqnickly after;
whieiiwas, that the Prince ccntrary to his Failivrs Coiii-
inand, and all his own lolcmn Enpapemcnts, had (lopt
and intercepted all the Prefents and Goods that were to
come to Court. This w.is meerly to fati^fie his own
Covetous Defirc of chuling full, and petting the IkR
things into his own Hands; which ( bclides the Affront
('rt'er'd by it to the King of ijiyjanii^my Maiter.to have the
Tokens rf his Rcfpetfl and Good Will, thus rudely
fiez'd and forc'd away ; ) was alfo a great piece of ill
breeding to his own Father in pretendinp to ferve him-
felf firllt, and not Icaunp his Betters the Liberty of
Choice. Howcv er after he had m.Tde lure of them, he
writes a 1 etter to the King to tell him v\ hnt he hail done ;
that is, he minc'd the Matter, and told a .Story of frmc
(ioodshehad itop'd, out of a llefrc to latisf>. his cnri-
olity Ml buying fomc To', s that he fancied; but he laid
rot a Vord of the Preferts (the principal part of the
Carpo) either out of ll.ame, or fear, or ill dellpn. 1
iculd iKytthink of palling by th;s very niuivil Tre.itmcnt
without Complaints to the King, and th .fe loud ones too.
In times paltl had by allthe fair and lob Methrds, imagina-
ble attempted to win thePrinee's Vm our,and ne\ er was nble
cffcdiially to oblige him ; but now 'twas nei ellary to pin an
cml to that Counll.ip, and nepleel his Friendlt.ip tor the
future. Imultappeal totheKinpf r Julfue agaiiilt him,
and confequently , in all probability ) Icfe him for e\er ;
and h'nce 'twas certain that 1 mnll |i>fe him, I thought
it better to doit for fomeihinp, and with U me node and
ifir tco, than cither to be diihoiioiir.ably lient, ornn a
faint and fearful manner to profeeiue Inch an .'\H'air.
I went to the King with alix'd Relulution to lomplain
of the Prince's Adion ; when he, who peeH'ci! what my
Bulinefs was,bepr.n and prevented me telling ir.e'in fliort,
he had heard how his Son had Uitercepted the Goi)ils ,ind
Prcfenrs, but he would order it fothat nothing lliould be
opened orfearchcd by him ; and belides.lorthwith would
fend hisRoyal Command to him for the Difcharpe andSur-
renderof them into the Hands ofocr ownPiop'c.l his was
done the fame Niphr, and 'twas all the Satisfaction for the
Iiijnry I could then procure ; for theKiig qii'ikly after
fell todrinkinp, and (when he was pretty far gone) to
talkinp f'f Relgim; iho', by the way, neither of the
three Prophets he talked of would have allowed him the
Liberty he then took, ?nd his Uruiikennefs was con-
demn'd by the Laws both of Mrfcs, MnUine.', and
'i.Jiii Ch'lft. But thisPriiKC when he was in that Con-
ditiin uas penerallv very lull of Pious Difcourfe ; he
would limbic into a Dilpuieot Religion, and hold it our
till n-id-nii'.ht ; and then farewell to all Bufineis for th.it
time ( tho' ever fo weighty anil neeellarv to be debated )
for when one c he was got into that Vein, there was no
'!
litVlihilR
turninpot him out; nothing to be I'rne ti.'l the Wine
and theOcvout Fit had both left him. .SoiiHiimcs his Hu-
mours would be comical and ludlcro's he wo Id a1 a
Merry Andrews part more th.n anything elf-, an 1 do
thnps Htrer for a i'lavcrthan a Kinp : 1 he Wine wonlil
make him exert a thoufand llnc/al Paiiii iis, .-ccord rg lo
the lipaees which his heated F.iiiey prefent d in that
Coii,n,oti(ft ; f mutinies 'twas all Blood and Re. ence
at other times Minh and )olity, Charirv and Com-
ra.iion. Grief anil Sadncl's, now la. gh, an i then cry
like a Child, and then drown his Care and .Sor.ow in
anotherCup, and fo on, wiih a naiifeons (Jaliimanfry of
Pailionsand L'il'conrfes till the belt part of the Kipht
W.1S fpent. I w,as often obliged to fee and hear more of
this th.in was gratcfid ; if my Bufincfs made me attend
him, his impnrti'nity would keen me there; for he is
\artly fond of Company in thofe Humorrs, and ihcre is
no^leliverancc from him, till kind lleep comes and clofcs
up his Eyes.
After tome time the Cargo was brought up from Sur/tt,
and the King ( tho' he had rcprov'd his Son for fo doing j f"^'
w.ispleas'd to take it immediately into his own Hands. fclf«, .,■
Such was his Curiolity and Fond Delire to fee the Prefents '■"^ ^■
my King had lent him, yet he coud not (lav to let me
ha\cthe opening and foriingof them, ,ind to bring them
to him in a little order. So he took hi-, choice of fome
thingsthat plcas'd him oxtreamly well, and then fent for
me to tell mcwhat he had done, which he did with a
World of Eycufes, bcppinp mv Pardon, and offering
torofi'ndwh.itfocverl demanded. But as I was farfroin
any IXfign of Ixinp fo cxaCV and fcrupulous as that came
to, fo lonly lignitiedto him that I thoi ght it a little hard
to be debarr'd of the I ibertv of making' m\ own Prince's
Prefents; that as they were intended f. rhis Majefty, fo it
was very free for him to keep them, r-id I had no other

they had fctdown Debts at their own nleafure, without

there W.1S no Rcafoii (in cafe of [i)eath orlnfufficiency )

There was a mighty change now in the Face of our

to be cur off from h:s Maulil deri W'.ices, and at the fame

coodm'l's difprj 4li'' t" yield to the Plough, tho' there has
hcennoRaii: ;, V(, ften and prepare it. I'here's very lit-
t'e inclis'd I ant uO this Country, except fometimes juft
by Towns or Vi ..iges otherwifc it lies all open.
They r • •he- Giafsasthcy have occaiion for it, either
grfcnorwither'd ; but the, don't Mow it and make Hay
as«edo in ^>;;''»"''. The Corn is extreamly rank, and
grows as thick and dole as ever the land can bear it ;
.i:id one may pafs fevcral hrndreds of Acres together
without feeing the leail fpot that's rhin ami poor. Their
forts are Wheat Parley, and Rice, with fome others
wo don't know the names of ; the Wheat is plumper and
whiter than ours, and makes a fine wi-ll relilhd Bread ;
anil that which the commi.n People make ot another I'oit
of ciinrrer Grain is both tcothl'ome and wholfurae, and
icrv hearty.
With their Bread they have excellent good Butter too,
thn'notof the confiltence of ours, hue iiiorc fluid like
•an Oil, for the heat of the Climate will never allow them
to bring their Cream to any other Temper.
.All the ufefnl Garden Roots and Plants are common
Jmi. md j„ this Country, as Carrots,Potatoes,Onion«,Garlick, and
'"'' fever.il forts of' Sallet Herbs. Ginger grows ainiolt every
where about, and Sugar Canes arc no rarity at all ; they
few ToKacco in vaft plenty, and finoak it as much.
But their wav of taking it is fomethmg (xtd and ftrange,
thn' perhaps they don't fire their Mouths by it fo mneh
as we i!o; (oc they take a little narrow necked Pot
' th.ii h.is an open round top, and a Spout coming out of
the Belly on t) and till it with Water up to the lower
part of the Spout ; then they lay their Tobacco loofc in
the top of the Pot, and upon it a Coal of Fire, and to
with a Reed or Cane of an Ell longf which is inferred into
the Snout ) they draw the Smoak inro their Mouths.
They fay it is much more cool and wholfome to do it
thus, than as the luiroprmis do, (incc all the Smoak falls
I' pon the furfacc of the Water before it palfes into the
Cane. The Tobacco of this Country is thought to lie as
gnod (in the Plant ) as any in the World, but they han't
tlie Art of drelfing and ordering it ( to make it rich and
ftrong) as they have in the f-Ky?-f'.<y/cr. The grcatcft
JefeA as to Vegetables fccms to be in Flowers, which for
a great part are bit like fo many painted Weeds ; they
pleafe the Eye with fine Colours, but give the Smell
li"!e or no entertainment at all. T he Roles and f me few
kinds more arc fragrant ; one of the piincipal of which
isa white Flower likethc Siv!ni/''jFfj(7"iin/«, a thing of n
molt grateful and picaling Scent, and affords them that
fineOyl, with which they are continually perfuming
tliemfelvcs, and makes very fweet Company. Belidev
thcfe for a Perfume they have Lign-Aloes, and that nei-
ther fcarce nor of the meanell fort.
.As for Fruits the Country Ihews a very great variety ;
Dates, Figs, Grapes, PruncUo s, !' inionds, Pomtgra-
r<i;.
nates, Pomecicrons, Oranges and Limons ; but thcfe
latter are not fo good here as in other places. Here are
Coco's too, and that excellent Plumb called the Mirabo-
lan, the ufe and goodncfs of which we \cry well know
inEngUnd. The Plantansgrow in clutters ( manyrimes)
they are long and like a (lender Cucumber, verv Yellow
when ripe, andtaftclikea Nomkh Pear, but much better.
The Mulkmelons and Water-melons are fo well ri-
pen'd and digcfted aFruit in this warm Climate, that
they may be freely eaten without fear of any of thole
hurtful elTeds that may follow a plentiful ufe of them in
a colder Corntry. The Pulp of the Frnir is fpongy and
tender, of a Colour mixt with Ked andWhitc, and con-
tains in the inner part of it a very plealant cooling Li-
quor, The M.n.ga Trees are as large an.l Itatelv as our
Walliiui-trees, and ihc Fruit in fh.ape and colour like out
Apricocks, but much bigger ; they roul them al-oiit in
their Hands for a while when they arc ripe, and then fuck
outtheinfide, which by that time is become like the Pap
of a roafted App.V-, and highly gratefultothe pallet.
But the //w«<i(-<f'jareefteem'd the choiceft of all tlicir
Fruits, and have ( tbo' a very delicious) yet fo com-
pounded a tafte with them, that a Man while he eats
them may imagine heiscating fcveralfinethings together;
they fay it refemblcs a mixture of Strawberries, Claret,
Kofe-waterand Sugar.
Befides thefe there's the* Tamarind Tree (wliith is.Th,„.,
known well enough ) and the Tree that yields the li- f:,m..ccouni
quor calld the foddie, which is from thence call'd "f ■'«•■ '"""*•
the Toddie-trce. This Tree has a icry loft fpongic 'm'' 7™.;°
larenchvma; it grows ftraight and tall and with- imi c.pi.in
out Boughs to the very top, but there fpreads out into ^'"'"•»''
tender Branch-.'s, inlliapc like thofe that (hoot out a: the '"'^^ °'''"'
Koutot our iargc rank Artithoaks, but much bigger and
longer. "1 is not lo bij; al out but it may be oalily clal'p'd
111 a Man's Arms, ai.d tho' it has no Boughs to give any
aliiftance to a Climlxr, yet the Country People will
mount it with an incredible eale and celerity ; but this
thev do by the Advantage that the roughncfs and
cruftincfsot the Bark gives them, which proves fome
fmall itay to their Feet. They make an Incifion in rhe
top Branches, and receive the Liquor that diftils in
Gourds fet under for that purpofe: This without any
farther preparation, is the Toddiefo much talked of and
iifed in this Country, and upon which they fix fo many
good Charaiiters. In rtirrt, tis a fine Wine, and a good
Medicine ; if it be drunk freih from the Tree in the
Morning 'tis a very plealing inofTenfive liquor ; but if
kept till the heat of theD.iy, the Sun alters i: wonderful-
ly ; robs ic r,f its fine tafte, does not exhale the Spirit of
It, and leave It Hat and vapid, but aduates the Spirits it
has, and renders them much more violent and intoxi-
cating. The Seamen love itbeft inrhiscondition, beca.ife
it makes them quickly drunk; but all that don't drink
for that purpofe take it in the Morning, and then 'tis as
finooth..snew\Vhitc-Wine, butmuch more fine and clear.
The Vertnesof it arc, to pro okc Urine, and give
relief m rhe Stone; that is, it Icnifies and in fome mea-
fure adw.iges the Pain; but thofe that have tried ir, don't
tell us of any farther inHucnce of it, in removing the
Caufe, or preventing the giovvth of the Mifchief for the
tutnie.
The Plant from whence the [ndiro is made grow s very gar the Mi.
plentifully about in many parts of ihe Country; and the" i-^cMr;
Cotton Trees are no lefs common. They low vaft quan- '^'""''' '*''"

great profit. The Plantgrowsup bkc a fmall Rofe-BiilTi, 'h "g of rhe

1 hey are the moft governable and cafily managed Lrea-
tiircj in the World ; as a mighty Ship is ti'm'd about by
the force of a fmall Helm, Pj are thefe vaft Frames dctcr-
inin'd in their Motions by a mean and defpicable power.
The Governour iifcs only a fniall Rod of Steel made fharp
and crooked at the end like a Hook ; upon the lead twitch
or pull, with which the Creature difpofes himfelf to Obe-
dience. A Boy of twelve Years old may do this Office,
. and rule the bipgeft Elephant in IndiA, provided it be not
in their Maddinp-tinie ; that is, when the Males grow
hot with delirc ot the Females.
This Fit lafts for fome Days, and then they come to
good Temper again ; but while 'tis upon them, they play
the Devil at that rate, that two or three Troops of Horfc
is little enough to keep ono of them in order. Miey ftnke
any ihing that comes in their way, but their Keepers ;
and what they ftnke iliey beat to Pummice, or crulh the
Bones of, be it Man, Hnrfe, Afs, or Camel. They drive
all the Town before them, when they break loofe in their
mad Fit ; the People run belter skelter, and tumble o\er
one aiwih'r, to avoid the Ti cad of the angry MonlUr :
And 'tis better to do fo, tho" a Man gets a broken Head or
Shin by it, than to lie kick'd to Death by an Fdephant.
The only way they have to ftopthem in their Career, is,
'; tn fire a Train of CIi npowdcr about their Fars ; this puts
them into a Fripht, and when they fee the Flalh, they'll
;- Hand dill and tremble.
All the while this H.'at is upon them, they fwear prodi-
pioiidv, and iUi t •">' ihat '•''te, that a Pig-fty is a Perfume
toit: 'I'hey fay, 'tis like the rank and filthy Scent of a
Boar that's a fat jing, but as much worfe than that, as the
Boar is lelsthaib the Elephant. To prevent all Mifcliiefs
that may l« ,' Cie by them in their Fury, as fion as ever
they kgin k pro w diforderly, they are fetter'd with ftrong
Cliains to the Bo.iies of great Trees ; but fomctimcs the
Frenzy is too ftrong for the Iron, and the Beaft, in fpitc
of all, takes his Ramble.
But to goon with their good and commendable Quali-
ties : There's hardly any Creature fo much admired for
hisSence, fo doeible, (and if the application of that term
to a Bealt mav be allowed) lb underrtanding as the Ele-
phant is : All the Stones reported of them, are, perhaps,
no more to Ix; believ d, than thofe that are told of Foxes
and Monkess which fome People have made as wife as
t' loft accompiilh'd Politicians of the Country. But
thcie are lomc PaH'ages remarkable, and odd enough (ta-
ken from the Obfervation of our Authors, and the certain
and conltant Reports of credible Perfons in the Country)
that are fuflicient to juftitic that Char.idcr of ftrangc
Scnce and Apprehenlion, which is commonly fix'd upon
this Creature. Thi's they tell us, that an Elephant will
deport and manage himfelf towards another Perfon, ac-
cording to the private Inilruiftions given him by his Kee-
per, ir he order him to fright a Man, the Elephant will
march up to him with a fceming Fury, as if he meant to
tread him in pieces, and when he is at him, do him no
harm at all, If he be bid abufe oi affront a Man, he'll
take Water up in his Trunk, and fpout it out upon him,
or Din rcihaps, and dalh it in his bace. So alio they arc
cxtreamly fenfible of any Kindncls done them, and nicely
,; rcmcinbef the Perfons that have at any time obliged them,
^ by making much of them, or giving thcinViiftuals.
^leliiioniof ^^ /IJDieie (where the GiM/ Af;:;!;/ then redded), there
tltphinii, was one of his Elephants that ufcd to be frc«^ucntly lead
through the Market, and commonly as he paflcd along, a
certain Herb-woman that had a Stall there, ufed to give
him a Bunch of green Herbs : It happen'd one time, that
this Elephant being in his Heats, broke loofe from his
Keepers, and took his way through the Market ; all the
People endea\oiinng to fccure themfelvcs from him, by
Hying and hiding as well as they could. Aniongftthe reft
this Herb-wman ran away too, and lieing in a great
Hurry ai.d Friidr, left her young Child behind her upon
the Stall. The Flerhanr \ as not fomad, but he ttopp'd
at the place vvher he uled to have his Bunch of Herbs,
and feeing the Cadd 'X here, betakes it tenderly up in
his Triaik, and goes and lays it down (without the leaft
harm in the World) upon a Stall of a neighbouring Houfe :
Whai he had done this fober .\i'',;oii, and thus cxprelVd
his Gratitude to his lieiiefaiitor, away he went in his mad
Courfe as before.
And if .-,t any time they are mil' s'd, and receive Iniu-
ries, they are as implacably prejiidieed againft tliofe Per-
fons that have atliontcd them, and fure to revenge it, if
ever they have a fair opporcniiity. One of them did in
this formal manner, lay, and execute a Plot to be rcvcn-
gcd of his Governour that had abus'J him.
Being upon a Journey, it leeiiis, the Man was laid
down to flcep, but was ported fo out of the Elephant's
reach, that he could not flrikc him cither with his Trunk
or Teeth. However, ha^ ing Ibmc green Canes by him,
he takes one of them, and hai ing Iplit i: with his Trunk a
conlidcrable way, he reaches <.ut that end of it that wai
fplit, and twifting the Man's Hair preiiy fecurely in it,
by that means he dragg'd him down to him: What he did
with him, is cafie to be imagin'd, the Elephant did not
play that Trick for nothing. And 'tis a very common
thing for thefe Creatures to be tanght and managed lo. as
to take up young Children in their I'ruiiks, tofs and fwing
them about, and then fct ihi in down again, with as much
Care and Tcndcrnefs as their Mothers could have done.
The Grcitt Mogol once made his own Son, a \ oung Prince
of fcven Yeaisold, be thus tofs'd alxjiitby one of his ma-
naged Elephants, and after the little Prince, ihe Children
of fevcral of his Nobles that were there prcfent, ami none
rcceiv'd the lead Irjity imaginable. From all which In-
ftances (tho' a great many more may becollcded up and
down), a Man will fee Reafon enough to fall out with a
CirrcJUn, with whom all thefe Creatures are fomany Pie-
ces of mecr Clockwork, and their Adions the Effeifts
pi'rely of Wheel and Spring, as 'tis in common artiticial
M.ichines.
Such a Story is evidently too vain and frivolous to de-
ferve a ferious Refutation ; however, as long as there arc
any Animals alive, it will not want innumerable ones,
and the C.iifc/'i'", by converfing with Nature, and ob-
ferving the Adionsof^ Animals, may cafily convert them-
felvcs to more reafonable Opinions, and together with
Wheel and Spring, learn to acknowledge alio the Influ-
ence and Ptefence of a more noble and fteddy Principle in
the Government and Determination of thefe Creatures
Motions.
The Elephants having fuch mighty Carkaffes, are not
to be maintain'd with a little, efpecially if they are well
kept (as all the Mogol's are), 'tis very chargeable : There's
none of them that are called the Royal Elephants, of
which tliere is Three hundred, but eat him 70 Roupies
apiece (a Day) in Grain Butter, and Sugar; but they
can't fpcnd upon a Maftcr that's better able to afford it.
Take them out of their mad Fits, and they are not found
to have Vigour and Courage proportional to their huge
Bulk. An Ln^Ufi) Maftiff boldly affaulted one of them,
faftned upon his Trunk, and the Elephant hai ing fwung
him up and down a great while, at laft threw him to a
confitterablc diftance from him, and was very glad to be
rid of him fo : This was one of the Dogs that was prc-
(cnted to the Gient Mogol by the l■.llglip^ Merchants; and
when this Story was told him, he was exceedingly pleas'd
at it; the Dogs were entertain'd, and lived at a mighty
raie, they were carried up and down with him in Pa-
ankees, had each of them four Men to attend them, and
to fan away the Flies ; and the Mogoi had a Pair of Silver
Tongs made on purpofe, that he might feed them with his
own hand.
To conclude the Account of this Animal, it is confi-
dently affirmed of them by all their Keepers, that they
will never ufe their Females in the prcfcnce of any Spc-
iftator, and that in all thofe Natural Aiifions they are fo
rcferved and clofe, that they wdl not endure any to be
nearthem, while they are about them : A ftrangc Inftancc
of Modefty in a Brute, and as remarkable as any of their
Qualities that are known to us.
As for other Animals, our .Accounts are not fo particu- Lyons. Ty-
ar : There are Lions and Tygers, Wolves, and Jackals,"^"' "^'^
fome of which do often ramble about in the Night-time
viiiting the Tents of Travellers, and ftealing away their
Sheep and Goats : Nay, in Towns that are near great
Woods, they'll come into the \crv Yards of the Houfes,
leap a Wall, and carry off their Prey cleverly along with
them.
More than this, they very commonly hunt under Ground
for Prey as well as above it, the Dead can't reft in their
Graves for them, but (unlcfs they arc butied very deep)
they'll remove them into another Sepulchre, theirown hun-
gry Bellies.
The Rats, in fome old Towns, arc very troublefome,
and in their proportion as ravenous as the Lions. Our
F.ngl.jh-meii complain, that fome of them were bitten as.
they lay in their Beds ; that the Rats would fall a mi^IMing
their Toes, or the Tips of their Ears, or fomctimcs the
Tops of theirNofes, or any pa;c that lay cxpoled to them.
In the mean time, to be fure, they could not lleep very
found, while all this Mifchief was a doing ; for other-
wife 'twould make a Man ftare pretty fufficiently to wake
in the Morning, and mil,'s two or three Toes, or find his

but thde arc very harmlcfs Creatures, and may be ai
lowed tor Unmclticks well enough.
Thus we haxc taken a Ihort View of Nature in hiiliii ;
we lliall now pafsto Matters of Civil and Political Confi-
deration.
And lirft as for the Trade of the Country, we (hail
have no need to inlill long upon that, the Voyages of thif
. Bof'k will give a very luflicient Account of it. We may
Act'oint""' fee by them, what the Merchants havedme, what Com-
th,-Ti*ic --fmoditics they have carried thither, and brought back
ih;EJii Mm (rom thence. In general, 'tis enough to fay, that themoft
•ml other, (tapii; Commodities of the Empire, arc Indico and Cotton-
Wool. They draw all their Spices from the fame places
that we fetch ours, from Jiiv?, Smnntrtt, the Biiidc and
Aloliiccj Ifles : For hid(ftnn, as rich as 'tis, wants good
ftore of Clove, Ni'tmcg, and Cinamon-Trees. A little
Silk they have amonglt them, which their own Country
produces, but the grcateft Quantities arc brought from
Pcrfi.t and Georfia, which arc capable of furnifliing the
whole World with that Commodity.
Their beft outward Trade is to Mohn in the Re'^ Sea,
whither a Ship of an extraordinary great Burden goes
from Sutr.t once a Year conftantly. The main Commo-
dities vented there, arc Cotton- Wool, and Cotton-Cloth,
white and llain'd ; and their Returns arc molt commonly
all (or the moft part) in Money, Gold, and Silver, to the
Value of 200CC0 /. r.t a time.
Their ccmmon Coyn is Roupics, .nnd Mamoodics, both
of Silver, but ditfcrcnt in their Values ; the former being
between Two Shillings .jpd Two Sliillinps and S:x-pcnce,
cor,avo).,(,r _.,|.j ji^g |,m(,r aboi.tTw.'b c-peiuc ; but I oth of thorn are
made in Halve-;, ami fomc few in Qjiarters ; fo that
Threepence is the leaft Piicc of Sihcr current in the
Co''n;iy, and very few of thcni to be ftcn. 1 he Silver
Coyn is made eith>r round or fijuare, but all fo thick,
that it never breaks cr wears out ; 'tis befides very line
and p'rc too, having nothing of jMlav : Upon this ac-
court, even in the Spr.iijh Mi i;cy it felf (\^'hich is the pu-
rcft of all Eurrp ■ , there is fon-.e lofs.
They have fume Gold Coyn too, and that extraordina-
rily g' od, and Pieces of very great vahic ; but thele very
fcldom conic abroad. All Foreign Coyn and Bullion,
when it coir.es into thcfe pans is prefcntly melted down
and refined, and being new co^ n'd, has the AJojo/'s Stamp
fwhich is his Name and Titles in I'cijjm Charaifters) fet
upon it. All People are very wekcnie, that will bring
their Bullion or Money in hither, and carry aw.-iy their
Merchandiceforit ; but 'tis a Ciime iiot cafily forgiven,
to tranlport any QiMntity of Money from hence.
In all the great Towns they keep two Markets every
Day ; the lirlt in the Mornir.g a little before Sun-rifing
and for about an Hour after: And the fecond, when the
Si n is as low in the Evening. 'T would be impoirible for
fuch Crowds of People a* frequent thcfe Markets, to come
together without fwcltcring, and aliroft ftifling one ano-
ther in the Heat of the Day : Ai.d thcrcfiirc they take the
Coo' r f the Morning and tvcn ng to do Bufinifs in, and
pafs the ftorchiiig Hcurs of the Day in their Houfes, or
fome lliady Retreats in thiir Gardens, where they fleep
anil enjoy the Plcafures that Nature has aflbrded thein.

leave no Lock at all upon the Cro-vn, nor no where elfc,
butlhavc all off: So that where-cver their Paradife lie;',

Barbers, who make their Bulinefs and Province (bmetliiri;
larger than our Ennpe.-in Barbers do. h (liort, they trim
a Man from Head to Foot, pare off all V's Superfluities;
not only his Hair, but hir, Nails upon I*i'rip,rs and Toes'
and cut his Corns too. Thcv carry aStee'Speculun- al-
wavs about with them, which is as large as a Irencher,
and fomething gibbous, andbeing well polilh'd, fcrvesa!-
moft as well as a common I.o ^tins-GlaCs ; only 'tis cer-
tain, that the Convexity of it fomething deforms the
Image, and may poffibly fliewa Man an uglier Face than
h'; really has. When they meet a Man that they th nk
needs trimming, they don't ask him. Whether he will
pleafe to be fhaved or no ? But without any more adue,
whip their Glaffes out of their Pockets, andlliew him his
Face : This they think is a better way to pcrfwade a Man
to come into their Hands, than to make a I eg, and a^k to
be fet a-work.
TheDrefsand Habit of this Country is uniform and in.Thti«.

eft Lord, and the poorell Peafant, have their Cloaths""'*''
made the fame way. The former perhaps appears in his
rich Silks or Embroideries and the latter in Ibinecoarrc
Stuff; but as tor the Falhion, the Lord and the Country-
man are both upon a I cvel, and the one is as Genteel as
the father.
Their Garb is a Coat that (its clofc ami tight to their
Bodies and reaches to (or liclow) their Knees ; lender
this they have another ll.oiter, and laftly a fort of Breeches
like the I'Jh Troufes, that come down to their Ankles
and ruffle upon the Small of the 1 eg. The Giamlcci
make their braveft Apparel of Silks, Taffata's or Cloths
of Gold and Silver ; but moft commonly fine white Cal-
lico Lawn is the wear. Their Head-Covering is fome
fine Cloth (perhaps as their Quality is, embroider'd or
flourilTi'd with Silk, Gold, or Silver) wreath'd T.-veral
times about, the Ends of which are Ibmctimcs fringed,
and difpofed fo as to hang in light. Aboit their Wa'lUs
they wear a Girdle thauccmes twice about, of the fame
Stuff, and adorn 'd with a Fringe. Our Engtifh Scarlet
Broad Cloth is a thing they mightily admire,' and abun-
dance of the Great Men make it their upper Garment ;
but the heat and thicknefs of it will not allow it to be
worn in the hot Country but in the cooleft Weather, and
that in the cooleft part of the Day too.
As for the Womens Drefs 'tis not fo ealic to give an ci-
adt Account of that, lince (unlefs they are either leud or
poor) they are not feen abroad, and no Stranger has the
Privilege of feeingthem at home.
Since the Females of Qiiality then (whofe Drefs is to be
Uippos'd the Perfeiftion of the Country in that kind) are
thus retired and out of the way ; we mult turn out Eyes
to the Vulgar, and fee in what manner their Cloaths arc

As for the f)o»lbine of KUl'cniet, it came into the
Country with this race ot Empcrours. In Tamerlitne'$
time, and fo all along till the Conqucft, the Religion was
entirely /V,(,m«, and there were as many forts of ueitiesin
vcguc, as there were pcity Princes that had their (hares
in this hupcFiiipire. Not but that the fame Superftitions
continue (till in being amoneft the J^^j/'oo'/, and the va-
rioiis Sedsof the Uiiidcci ; but at that time there wm
nothing clfe, 'twns all pure /'.ij;.i)'/i«; there was no party
aniongii them that piofcfs'd' the Knowledge and Wor-
fliip of one Supreme Being (without the corruption of
Images and Inferiour Deities) as the Miilometms do.
'Tis nceillcls to (jo to dcfcribing their Religion at large;
'tis enough to lay that they are Mnhcinc-itiis, and that
they believe and praelife as others of that way do.

[pent on both fides, our Country-man C^ryitt ended ihc

the Orthodox-Muffulman, and the Trieft was the Pfeudo-

The famous jcfnit \.„ierius was fir.ln'd from Gm
to Wpm,_ in ^. D. 1 596. on pnrpofe to arg ue t/ie Dodrincs'"""'*
of the Chriftian Religion, before Hvhr ( then Reignino)
antf the Mnhmttan MolUs. That Jcfuit fpoke the Vcrfinn
»""/"'¥'"» Tongues perfedly well ( which was a won-
derfid Advantage to him ) and asmuch a Papifl as he was
hcr--naged that point like a Chrift an, and to the Ho-'
nour of the Author of hisReligio . The Moll.is were
ableto make no Exceptions againf) that noble Scheme of
the Chriftian Religion, whici \avierius prefcntcd
them with. He demonftrated the perfecl reafona-
blenefsof it, from the Perfciftionj uf GikI, and the Na-
ture and lapfcd Condition of Ma. ; ni.iking it out in
the firlt pLice by clear and undeniai '•; Lk ofs, that the
Human Nature could not poflibly have come out of the
Creators finilliiiig Hand, wuhall thofe llains and blemi-
Ihes that are now fo conl'picuoui in it ; from whence the
Father inferr'd Man's degeneration from his primitive
Integrity, and the iKCcrtity ( confequently ) of a Re-
demption. Then he demonftrated from all the Clu-
raders both of the Perfon, Dodlrinc, and Miracles of
Jefiis, that as he was the great Meffenger of God, and
qualifiedto be the Redeemer of Mankind; fo the World
never faw any belides himfelf that could, wii:hout the-
highcft Blalpbcmy, pretend to b« fo. In fhort that
Prince not only heard Xr.vicrhui patiently from one end
of hik \rgmncnt to the other, but kept him at his Court
( to preach the fame Doiarii"- to him ) for a Year ami a
half.
But at laft he gave him leave to return to Gon, and told
him he would fend for him fome other time, to hear him
reafoii again upon thofe matters ; but that tunc never
came, and the Prince here put a ftop to his Lnquiries into
the Chriftian Religion. The gooil Father however had
this Honour, to have born a Teflimony to the Name ot
Jefus, lieforc thegreatelt King upon the Farth.
One thing by the way is remarkable enough in this
F.ct'ar Sha, whether Iwfore or after his acquaintance with
Xnvicriiis is not certain. And that is, that when
'twas told at the Court, that the Porru^iir^c had hangeil
the Akori-.n about an AITcs Neck, and fo wliipp'd him
about the Streets of Onuusm contempt of the Mrh'theti-.m ;
and the old Emprcfs his Mother came in a great rage,
and demanded of him that our Bible might be treatediii
like manner at y^,gi-<j ; the Prince replied, No, thoihePor-
tuguc^e had done very ill in what they had done, yet
Religion muft not fuft'er for their Crime, and the Bible
being an innocent Book, was not to be difgraced becaufe
the Alcoran had been fo.

There's a (lately Palace that ftandi clofe by it ; the
fiardiTS of vvh'ch ( walled with Mafbic ) run up to-

pali of thrt'c Mil' «. In lliort all the hn^lijl- Men that

it llaiids at Sfi.iihhi a Village three Milij from //;'-.
Now wcarefpcaking of the Prince's hisC.ra\c, 't sntt
out of the way to take notice of an odd .Solemnity that
pmceeds at his Funeral. The Dead Prince being laid in
State in his Monnmcnr, the Prince that fiicceeds him,
withalltheNobihty in a fiill body come thither. Then
are there all manner of Provifiouj brought, the fined
Meats and rithcft I iquors, and the Owipany cntcnain
thcmfelvcs with Ivith to the hiphcft (fegfee. The living
Prince fits at his Tabic, enriching his own Carkafs, and
preparing a Noble Banouer tor the Worms i in the place
where at the fame time they arc feafting upon the ( once
at nuichpampcr'd) Carcalc of his Prcdecelfor. In the
.Sfpiilchres of their Holy Men ( of which there arc abun-
dance in IniiU ) there are I jirps continually burning,
and certain Devout Perfi ns appointed to maintain thofe
Lights, and areallf.weJ gtxid Penfions forthatpnrpofc.
M for the Hiriliics, they <ommit none of^ their dead
Bcdiestn ihilJrouiid, but all to the Flames, and throw
their A flies imo aKiver,if ihcy have that convenience near
them. SoiiufmallPortion—;' ihom indeed arc prefer' d
by the m-ardl Relations in i^i'inorynf the dcicafcd ; but
the main part is difpos'd of to the Water, by the rcrt tlut
alfill at the Ceremony.
This burning of the dead Bodies was the Ancient
Cullom of //iji.r, as well as of other Nations; but the
burning of living ones too at the fame time feems to be
more peculiar to this Country. 1 his is an Immutable
Cuttom aniongft the lliinhei ; the Women accompany
thi- iltMii Bodies cf their Husbands not only to the Fu.
neral Pile, but afccnd it together with the Corps, and
confume in the fame Flames. It is indeed their own free
choice fo to do i if they don't go of their own accord
there's no body will drag them to the Fire and compel
them to burn ; but then there's Shame and Difgraec
that attends them {cfpeciallv if they havcliv'd long with
their Husbands ) their Widowhood is a rcpro.ich, and
their very ncareft Friends contemn and ncgleift them.
They cut their Hair, and live retired from all Converla-
tion, being to all the reft about them .is fo many ftrange
Creatures drrpt down from another Planer. For the
nioft parr therefore they chufc rather to burn than to live
in fiich Circumilances; and by this means they think they
die with a Reputation of rhe hij^helfModcfty and love,
when they ciiccm the Torments of fo cruel a Deaili
more calic ana tolerable, than the pain of livinj; with-
out their Husbamis. And a prcit many of thcni do it
moll certainly out of an e\cc!s of Love and piir^' wea-
rinefsof 1 ife j tho' 'tis prol able enough, that there arc
oihtrs who W'!'uM iive could they have another Husband,
and not die but to \oid O.ame. But there's no fccoiid
Husband allowed here; and fomc perhaps niay think
burning a \v{<! Mifcry and Punill;ment than living with-
out one, B t howevc", ancic-ntly the /.MiMij Women did

I Their Bread likewile are Cakes of the finefl Wheac-
I flower, done up with Almonds and Sugar-candy, fomc-
timcs fcented ami fometimes not.
They drink little belidcs Water at tli<ir Tables, what-
ever they do in their Retirements.
The IlinjDfi feed ditfercntly, according to their various
Sedls.
The Bum-"!! w'ill e.it nothing of Animal food ; and
therefore Confine themfelves altogether to vegetable Pro-
vifions and things n-ade of th'-m. Oihcrs of them again
will eai Filli, but ii< thing clfe that has Life.
-Some of the Hjsi'.ii contradiift them all, and eat
Swinestlelh heartily ; others perhaps Won't eat jull that,
futthellclh of fome other .Animal they like Ix-tier. But
in general, all the ;/i;/./i)fj .ibltaiii from Beef; that Ani-
mal is facred with them, and they pa^ the (irem M-tnl
ibnT ch a Year for their Redemption out of the handsaf
the Butchers and other People that would kin them.
To coiichide, as they are of «II forts) moft com-
monly folier and temperate in the ufe of their Tables,
and nbferve the ducmealiiiesof ea'ini'and drinking; fo
they always bring the .Scruples of their Religion along
with them, and as lo)al as they arc, would not obey
their own Prince if he commanded them to cat any for-
bidden Food.
Thefc People in their Salutations never I'ncovcr theirTV'n
Heads asthe Mmu/M'/j do ; iliey bow their Bodies, and^^il
lay their Right-liand on their fircall: as ihey pais along,'*
bellowing abundance of g,,od Wilhev upon the Pcrl'on
they falutc. Many of the laltcrn People think our pul-
ling oti Hats to one another a molt abfnrd and ridiculoiii
wavof Complimenting; the 'I'uik.' when they would
curfc their Enemies cHcdiially, wilh their .Souls aftu
uearh as little Reft as .1 Clirdtians Hat has, becaufe that
ne\cr (tands Itill ( they fay ) but is continually pulling

of their Paradife, ccnainly either exrrc.im is incontiftent
wirlithefclicity of it ; a dull t'lrpid Kelt is as bad as
pcrpeti al Motion ; and to lie as Itill as a Ti/nly Turbant,
would not be Icfs tifefome than to move as much as a
Chriltians Hat.
When the common inferiour People falnte thofe of
c]iiality, they lay their Right hand upon the Ground,
and then up<in their Heads ; fometimes they fall dcwn on
their Knees and bow their Heads very low ; but this de-
gree of very Humble Reverence, is only to thofe of the

As lor Gill,. */indows, there's no fuch thing known
amonglt them ; neiiher h.ive they any Chimneys in their
Houfcs, U'caine they have little or no life for Fire ; they
don't need it to warm them, for the Sun does that fiiflici-
trtly ; and there is fo little a part of their ordinary Fare
that needs Fire to drcfs it, th.ir 'tis not worth while to
mikc a Chimney for't ; and therefore, if at any time they
haic an occafion, they make a fmall Fire without Doors,
«j(3inft fomc Stone- Wall, or Bank of Earth, as far from
ilicir Habitations as they ran with convenience.

"1 liui iiuich for the outfidc ; but before we go quite a-
wav, we may take a fhori View of Things within Doors.
And thi< indeed can be but (liori ; befaHle there is gene-
rally but a (mall matter to be lookd upon. Their Rcwms
arc not adorn'd with line Hangings, furniih'd with Chairs,
Stools, Beds, and Couches ; they paint their Walls neat-
ly, and that fervcs inltcad of Tapeftrv, and fpread rich
Carpets upon the Floor, which is IxHh Red, Table, Chair,
and Stool to them. Some of them perhaps will lie upon
a hard Qjiilt, or clfe a low thing (they call a Cott) like
aBcdlkad, and bottom'd with Cotton- Cloth ; a great
many of which are made to be niov'd up and down with
Ropes, thar their Servants may rock them to llccp in them.
But where-ever they lie, they lie without Pillow or Bol-
ftcr, ftretch'd out at full lcn);th, and level with the Hori-
Joii ; without anv thing of Covering tix), but a thin Cal
lico Veil fpread all over them, fo that they look like lb
many dead Corps laid out ready for the Funeral Rites
The moft remarkable of their Publick Buildings for Civil
I'fe and Service, are the Serraies for the Fmertainment of
PalTengcrs, and the Tanks or Ponds. Thcfc Tanks are
cut out in fome very low places, to take in a good parcel
of Water at the titri': the Rains fall, for the Service of the
neighbouring populous places, when the drv Sealbn comes
upon them. I'hcy arc fome of them \ cry l.irge and deep,
a Mile and more in corapafs.furrounded with good Stone-
Walls, fvrnifh'd with Steps to go down into thca, and
thcmfelvcs in them, and fo are carried about upon Mens
Shoulders. Their Coaches have only two Wluels, the
top and back ofthctn iscovcr'd, but the forepart andlides
always open ; unlets they carry Women, in which cal'e
rhey are made up very dofe. They will hoM four People
without Crowding ; but two may lie in Qjilts at lull
length in them (as they often do in their Joumeys\ For
the drawing of them along, they ufe only the Servie of
Oxen (one Pair to a Coach), and thcfe have their Horrs
neatly tipp'J wiih Silver, and a Col'ar < f large Mi IN of

too, will carry them twenty Mile in .i lif.le time: Ihey
ate train'd up to the Work, and by continual Ule ami
Exercife 'tis as natural to them as t'l our Hi.rfes.
What foi t of Soldiers thefe Pcople(the ii.oll pai t of them)
make, we have hinted lefurc ; but we have net ya ii.cn
how they arc accoutred : Now they are admirably well
provided for the War, tho' mt at all fit for't, their fur-
niture is incomparably beyond their Courage. To foe
what a terrible Figure they make a Morfelack vvkh Inch
a Load of Weapons as they carry, W" "^d iacline a IVrluii
(unacquainted with them), to think theli very Au-icl
would get them a Vidory. But their Characf.r at belt,
is but to make a furious Onfet, and then retire as lialliiy :
To advance briskly, and Itand one Shock, ami :lun if
their Enemies don't run, to put an end w tiie Uifpiiie by

Strvice. To the complete dreifing of a Soldier, there
ffxi a Bow and C'livcr of Arrows, a Sword atid Buc-
kler, a (hort J.aunce, a Faiikhion, Fire-Arms, and what
not ?
For Martial Mufick they have Kettle-Drums, and a
fort of Wind-Mufick, that inakes ;i inoft harlh frightful
Noifc ; which if it would Init fcarc away their Encnue;.,
would be a confidcrabic help to them.
Their preatcft Strength md Sccur.ty lies in their F,lr-
phants : For thefc, with the Guns upon tlieir Backs, ilo
as nuith Execution as all the Soldiers In-lides. The War
Elephants carry each of ihem one of thefe Giins fallncd
in a llronp Frame of Wood, in which alio is f niiM a
place for tlif Gunner ; who firs fall enough there), till
Tome unlucky Shot from the F.nemy comes, and U-ats IJc-
pham, Caftle, and Gunner, all down together. TIilU-
Pieces are.ibotJt five Foot long, andthiow a Bullet al)o\it
the bigiiefsof a Tennis Ball.
As for the valt Numbers of Men this Cmmtry is ablt
to Wx out in an .'\rmy, it may be calilv imagin'd from the
largo Dimenlions of it ; he that confiders how many li':i-
cions Provinces the Crcii Mrgiii is Maftcrof, will quickly
concliulc that he is capable of making a finnidaUe ap-
pearance inilic Field, And yet his ijroat Numbers would
fignifie little, had he nor better So diers in Pay than the.
prcareft part of his own Natural Subjcifls arc ; but he is
fo wife astotake in {'flhin and Ti'M/, fomeof thcbeft
Horfemcn in the World, andihat will charge through any
thing th.it lies ill tlicir way. Tl'.cfc do all tlu- hot S'.Tvice

thcv do. But he h <ids iii:neoftlic bctl Conefpondenccs
w.ili liiofe two m ;'';iv Countries that Iwrder upon him
(PriJ'ii ml /'iif/riv Jiey are Lxjdi very jealous of his grow
ing Power and Grcatnels, .md therefore in Policy will
not c n:ribute to the increafe of it.
The I'rfh''' fcjmetitiies couits him (when he wants Mo-
ney J. and efpecially when he is engaged in a War with
the Turk ; 'hen hecareffesihcG.f.if Mogul, toinakefurc
rf his Neiiirality (atlcatt', if not of his Aififtancc ; for
'twould be a dangerous thing to live between two fuch
potent EnciTiies as iliey are, and be diftrefled by both of
them together.
As for the Tdrturi, they neither court nor value hini,
but ftatul upon tiie r Guard, and keep their Country to
themfelvcs ; they neiihcr convcrfc with him, nor fend Em-
bafl'adors to him, ttio' he calls himfclf, the Succcllbr of
I'm-icrlam, the mighty Founder of tlieir Empire : Perhaps
they don't think him lb (tlio his Fanuly was original'y
Tiir.irint:', and won't give ihat Title, wliere they believe
ihcir F.mpemrs high Blood is not to be found. But now
upon thclc Accounts, his Supplies of Soldiers from Pc'/i ■
and I'll' 1,1 V, cannot be very large ; they mult be moftly a
fort of Dcfcrtcrs, fi.ch ascomc away bv Hciiih from their
own Native Countrjs, and upon the allurement of Nobtc
Pay : 1 heir rclj-«iiki\e Princes (the jcilous l.uturi at Icall
for certain,), would never fcnil their ov\ n brav c Troops to
incrcafe thcftrcngth of a miglity Ncigiil>our, that is alrea-
dy but tt» formidable lo them.
The Genuine Language of this Conn'ry, (;/-. the /«,.' -
./?/:«' has fome affinity with the f'erftii, and Art-l'uk^; but
is reckoned 1 y fome the fmoother and fofter Tongue, am'
far more eafie to be pronounc'd. 'Tis very figniticant and
comprehenlivc, and gives the Speaker the advantage of
eiprelfinp his Mind in .i little time, and a iVw words.
The Alphabet is very dilferenr from cither nf the fore-

The iV/tf'""'"'''"*' again divide their Year mto thirteen

that they may I'pon occalion alter their Computation

other Thigh, and bit him there likewife, after which two

Hour, and then drop'd, tho' the Snakes were taken frotli
him before he fell. His whole Body fwell'd c ,-reamly,
and while his Sence ccncinued, he cried out of a Fire that
raged in every part : but by that time half nn Hour more

aicintlic Gard.ns, Kitchin, Stables, an I Armorie, are
rcckoiid ^6000; and they have their Monthly Pay out
of the 1 rcafiiry from three to ten Kupies a piece.
.'dterall ( as a part of the Court too } we ought not to
"I '"''■■* forget the other Animals that bchmg to it, which are

There are '-■me thoiifands of Cnging Birds, that are
maimain'd fw the fake of their Mulick ; and as many
that arc fory., anic and Prey.
Of B.alls -wild and taine, there arc Deer, Buffalos,
Dog', OuiKcs Camels, Dromedaries, Elephants, Li-
ons, &c. liut the molt rvmariiablc of all arc his Ele-
phants, of which he keeps feveral 1 hcufaiids, but 300
of them particularly areilii'd the Royal Elephants; they
irccali'd fo Iwcaufc the King rides upon them, but their
Splendid Fi rniturc and Nooie Feeding would give thrm
that Tit'c witlio.t the other Realoii. Now from this
Account 'tis manifelt that the Ci.'iit KU^ui's daily expen-
cescannot be fmall and iiiconliderablc. Here is a l.irge j
and numerous Family; and fo many Bellies of Bealls
and Men will not be tilled with a litr'.c. And therefore if
hisDomeftick Accounts be fairly ll.ited, and the Officers
don't che.it him in their long Bills, he fpcnds every Day
within the Limits of h s Co'iit ( taking in the Seraglio of
the Women too) theSiin of 80000 Kupies.
This Givai Prince di\ides his Day into feveral parts,
to each of which he allots its peculiar huliiicfs and Em-
ployment. As foon as the Day breaks he rifcs to iheDcvo-
tion ; Religion ish'S Breakfilt. whaic er impure Meals
he makes afterwards. After this he goes forth to receive
the Salarrcts and Good Morrows of tlic People, that
croi'd .ibout ins Lodginps in vaft multitudes; which
Ceremony ended he n tires into a Dormitory, and
rcpnks himfelf till his dining time comes. His time af-
ter Dinner is divided between his Women and his pub-
lick .Sports, the one or lx)th of which entertains Irm till
three orfour of the Clock; at which time he begins to
think of doing Bulincfs and obeying the Call of Affairs
of State. But'tisa part of liis da'ly worktno to furvey
hisWca'th, .ind tumble over all his rich th ngs. His
whole mighty Stuck is divided into 360 parts, each of
whichare vii wed by him intheir order, .ind fo that par-
cel whiih he fees to Day, he fees not again till th s time
Twelve-Month. Si'liiu Sh:t was fo exa^l at this, aiui by
often reviewing had gotten fo perfccT: a Knowledge of all
his Moveables, that the lealttntle could iwt be wanting,
but he would prefentiy hnd out ihe 1 ofs.
He (.nee nrlVd a little C'jVm Cup (amongft all the
thoiifands of that furt of Utenfils ihar he had byliim)
and linding 'twas broke, he cail'd for the Noble-inaii
that had the Charge on't,and having drubb'd him rod .itli
aliroU, lent him away into C/'.</ 1 to lor k another. And

KiBilh'd from Court, deprr. d of h s Prince's Favour,

the Happ nels. Life or Limbs 01 a,\laii, in cunipanlon
with aay thing that plcafes their own iinr.afoiiuble Hu-
mour. After publick Bufinefs, the Mogul fills up hii
Day, partly with Devotion, and partly with Sports and
Entertainments. He Prays, and Drinks, fees his Ele-
phants fight, looks over his Bcafts wild and tame, and
makes up the miinbcr hiinfelf. He pours in gcoil Li-
quors, and chaws Opium till the World runs round with
him apace, and then Jiclaysand docs a multitude of fine
things, which arc all recorded b\ the Scribes tli.it fit a-
Iwut him. Thefe Pen-men put down cveiy thin; that is
aAcdorfpokenbyhim, drunk or fober ; all hisVilitsto
his Women, and even thofe to the Ncccflary are
fet down ; a noble piece of Chronology, a very fwei t
and cleanly Hiltory ! But fuch is the Ciiflom of th»
Country, and thele Wm« Monarchs will h.ive thei-
Livesexaclly written ; and 'tis pity but they fhould, lince
they are fo fond of it ; tlio' the fucceeding Princ-s will
hardly want the Ei.amplesof thofe that went before them,
to inftigatc them to the pradice of feveral of thofe ihin.'s
that are recorded. "^
There are two Fcafts cfpccially, which this Prince and f„a> cb.

had allowed him fo little room. Me told the Enibalia-
dour he did no"; uiidcritand that Ikxjk, and therefore
fincc he did, and valued it too, he would not rob him of
fuch a Jewel ; but the main thinp was, that the World
was not made according to his fancy. The Chinrfe will
have their Country iti the very middle of the Globe, and
the M f.v/will have his all over it ; and lo to compliment
thefe l*cople, we mull make a ;ie\v fort of a World,
which will Ik as abfolutcly imaginary as that in the
Moon. But this Prince moft of all Pride- himfelf in the
Titleof r.()«L'r/,:«fj Succeflbur, upon the fcore of whofe
Conquclls, he calls himfelf ibmctmies ( as the I'ltrtan do
I'ttmcrUne ) the Lord of the Lonicrs, and Conquerour of
the Lniverfc. And upon this account it was, that when
the W Turk s EmbalTadour had an Aiid.eiue of I cave

the hrfV, at the head of tliofe brave Troops, that beat

But as for this Princes deriving his Pedigree from T,r.

The Rijiht of the Canfe certainly lay oa the Captain's

lie forborn fomeihing longer. The Matter brought to this •"->
head, we began to think of doing bulinefs in other partr ;''"''''''
and fetlail in the firlt place for the Coaft of Coromm.hl''^'
Being near this Coaft, our Ships were h.-.rdly able to
come up to one another, by reafon of thcUrong W.S.W.
Winds, and theCuricnis continually fetting to the E.N.E.
1 he Beach alio wasfo lofty on the Ihoar, that there was
no ventur'ng towards it with any of our Boats.
At lad we f onlider'd of a certain Bay upon this Coaft Tn
in alioiit 17 Dfgr. and about five I/ragues to the Eaft fide
of S.'.U'ipcre, where there was very con.modious ridi.ig
foraWefterly Monfon, whichwasthc only thing we now
delired, feeing there was no hope of recovering Af-r^M//.
/i<Mi , the Winds and Tides being bo'h agamft us.
! Holding on our Courli; thitherwards, having made f hy
Judgment ) about nine Leagues, wc found the Land to
lie away N. & N. & by W. which gave fome hojicj of a
good Road.
By this point of Land there comes out a great River,
the Stream of which has rais'd u confiderable Rife or
Shoal otT the Iharp of the point, extending it felf half
a Mile into the Sea, which makes the fmoother road a-
Ixjut the point, for you may bring theiaid Shoal, S. S. W.
and ride in fix Fathom and a half, ozie Ground two
Mile ofl' the 1 and that's ncarcft.you.
Aliout two Lc.ngues to the Ivtonh (ide from this PointC;pt(r,
(which fordirtinctions fake wc call Cape Coinfjrt ) UVuafn
out another branch of the former Rivcr,.,^vhich makes
the head land ic felf an Ifland, and off the Mouth of this
River lies a long ridge of Sand, which is\iuipr dry at
low Water.- Tlic next point of Land to the v.Vnh Cde of
CapeCi)w;/i)if is dillant alvjut three Leagues and a third,
from it, and to the Ealt fide of this Lift point you have "''
another vSaiidy Shoal : As for the var. about the Cape,
we make it to be 1 1 Dcgr. little more or lefs. While
wc lay here up and dow.n upon the Coaft, we had fome
Communication with the Country, getting good ftore of
Provifions aboard, as Sheep, Hens, and &)ats, ofwfaichd,^
laitci'wehad nearjcu. The chief Town towards the
Sea in this par- as K/w^rrow,- which I went to fee, lea-
vingthe Fleet lor fome Days : I went by Barge to the
Town of Coruiifi:, and thence up the River for <'7w_ffro»,
at both which places I met withan Entertainment no way
to be complained of. The Govcrnour of yimrrcn re-
cei^ ed mc with all his InMm Mufick, liked my Vifit very
well, but thePrefent I brought him much better; fo
well, that after I was gone a-Ship-lx)ard again, he would
needs come and pay me Vilir, which I knew was nothing
but to Filh for another Prcfcnt.
Here we had news of the Death of Sir T/>i)m4» D.vr,.A^,t
our late worthy Admiral; he was got before us with a '>''^/
part of the Fleet to M.iffulipat^n, and died at that place :''" '"'*
and how good News I'oever this would be to the Dutch,
whofeinfolence he had already chaltized in part, it was
very uncomfortable tons, who had reafon to expe(S fome
farther humbling of ihcm from the Valour and Condn(ft
of fo able a Commander.
It may be worth the while to obfcrve that of the Ri- j>«(..
vcrof K/ijfaporc, wc found the Current to fet S. S. E.by
Day, and N. N, E. by Night ; wc rode then alwur
three Leagues S. S.W. from the Bar of Ntffivorr, and had
at the fame time near 20 Faihom Water. When wecanic^
to Mitjfulipntan, wc found that part of the Fleet therc/J^^^*'
which Sir Ti'. DnU- had brought j a;id now that and
this joining together, thought fit to call ine to fuccced
him in his late Charf'c of the fupreme Command of the
United Fleets. Here ftveral Merchants that were to re-
fide intheCuuntry, wcrcfci alhoar, and fixed in their re- ^"'"'"
fpetftive places ; the Stare of the Companies Affairs was'tatlt!.
alto at large tonlidcred and ejiamined, and proper mea- ^'i *■'■■
fures agreed on for promoting them to the beft Ad-'j^'^,,^
vantage. 'Ji'i-J,
* We fet fail from hence for the Coaft of Sumatin, and''"."'^'"
near that Ifland had rhc luck to meet with a confidera.''"'|['"^*

tuUnon/ of the molt odious Particulars of it might l)C falfc. For
nufht bo (not to mention the Care and gooil Government of Sir H.
M^Uletm:) why were not thcfc Crimes objoAed at firft ?
Why was nrt Sir H. M'J.l.'cran told when he was brought
in Chains before the Aga, that 'twas for the lewd .\dtions
of his Company, that he and they were fo fevcrely hand-
led ? I he Aga and the Bada hail need of all the pretences
in the World, tn jmvo a c >lour to ihar barbarous AAion,
and m.ike it app.arjnll, or ,11 Icall planlible : And was
it poilible they could have a fairer and fuller Charge than
this? Or thar'hev llionid ncgl.-d it, and not reproach the
V.iif,':'!'' with thefe Villanics .' It looks as if the Charge
was not then ni.ule, but had been p.atch'd up afterwards
to llrie a frn ; they were ihen in a hurry, and h.id not
t-nie for a foinial Proiefs ; but afier the litecution was
o\Cr, thev had Ic. luce to lind out the Crimes, and draw
lip an Iiulidlment accorilingly. And 'tis a lign, that there
was n.nre of the Injv.ftice and Treachery of the Turks in
it than they arc willing to own, lince that wicked Balla
was quickly after lent tor to CiiJ}MtiiicfL; to anfwer thole
Pioviedings to the Emperor ; and 'tis <ertain, that it coft
him (at leaft) his Place and Preferment:, and that he w.as
cnndcmn'd to a Life of difgracc and oblcurity. How-
ever, fince our Merchants thcmfelves do not fcniple to
own, the Etirji/l' wcie guilty of fonic Diforders there ;
thofe difmal Confequcnces, together with what has leen
allcdg'd, may lervctodcier all that go in;o thofe parts,
from any fuch irregular Pradiccs amongll the rcvcigcful
Tuiks and Ara'.K.
Tliii Ap the By the way, 'tw.is a pretty odd Circumftance, that the

Ships the Stran and the /-) /™ef J where we
cxpcded to take in 100 Qiioyncs of Rice.
The King of this place was, and had been along time
a molt inveterate Enemy to the liu:ch ; he would not al-
low anyone ot them fo much as to land upon his C'oun-
try, and thofe that fell into his hands at any time were
furc never to get out again. The rcalon of this Hatred
was the fcveral Wrongs \shich the People of the llland
had recciv'd from them ; they had feiz'd and captivated
lumc of the Natives, and ainonglt the rcit the King of
M.ieaff.ir's Sabanilar, a Man of great Note and Figure in
the Country ; for which Affronts he vowed a fevcre Re-
venge, whenever he had an opportunity to take it. And
feveral others of the p.tty Kings of the Ceiel\-s joy n d with
him in this Uilign, as having been Fellow-Sufferers and
Partners with him in the Injury; they «ll thrcatned the
Dutch, and it was their wiled Courfe to keep out of
the way. But notwithltanding this, they mull venture
and try ih'-'v Fortune at Maci-JJ/:r. and that in an .ibriipl
intruding way too ; when their Circnmltances required
a great deal of application and lair means to be us'd to in-
troduce them with any fafcty iunongit that People again.

invi-ini;, and 'tis a matt.r of vc.y great importance to
iia\e our ltite''elt h.re well g .'.rJe.l and maintained.
Could wep.t /v. ,W.i V into our hanJs, we flioiild ha\e
more fweet and I'enfible fr^oN i f th-' goodnefs of this
Spice Trade; thole that l,i\o\v it f.iy 'tis a Paradife,
anil the Uutci; the prefent PoUelfonrs, affirm 'tis as good

a little fawcy, tho' we know w.'ll cnouphth.it Pto'oycny

However if we can keep the o.hcrs and enjoy them quiet-
ly, they'll furnilli Mace and Nutmegs not only fufficiciit
for n/.'i;/.7H./, lut alfo to drive a 1 rade with u^Sui.jt, and
other par;9 of the Indies. Our great Bufiiicfs in order
hereunto, next to the niaint.iniuig a pood Force, is to
fupply tliem well with Cloth and Rice, Salt, Pepper,
ani odierNecellaries they want ; they are fo defirous of
ihefe things, efpccially Cloth and Rice, that had we had
thrco- times as much as we now hroughc, we (hould have
found vent for it all without the Icalt difficulty. The
People of Lmitore and R:'l'i",V>'g, and other places, come
over to Pco/.trcon with their Mace and Nutmegs in great
numbers, andbring it in fo fait, th.at there is no feat of
Tudejt ihca conftant and certain Trade, if we do but furnilh them
fiUmli as faft with thofe other Com.noditics. .As for the Rice
we bring them, tho' AUcriJ^y is able to fupply that,
yet we nndt tind fomc place tnat will do it at lower
r.ites ; and 'tis certain we can have what Rice we will
from Juprt'i, at half the price that we can at M;:r.(]'r.i ;

Together with the rp.cour.iretnen'S of this good
"I'rade, we h.td iiur Loffcs and Misfottuncs another way:
A Praw nobly laden with the Spice of this Country was
calt away in her Voyage to B.-im i>n ; lie had J366
Cattees of M.ace aboard her, which would have been
worth as good as "icoouo pound in l-.r^Jmul.
The Diiicl) took two mere of our * Ships too, and
carried them into iNVri; Road, wearing our Colours un-
der their Ship Sterns in a molt difgraceful manner. This
Lois was the greater upon the Account of the lading

Cloth, belidcs 6co Jars of Rack and other Frovilions.
They were hampered with their Lading, and much
overm.atched in number ; belides, that the Dnuh Ships
were light and free, and every way ready for the Ser-

'1 he liufhi'mf- that Were in this Aiition fignalizcd

'twas the I'atc of fome of thini to be difpofcd of in

liieriiemy landed ^00 Men upon them, but they (lood
fo tightly to their Bufinels, that the others weieoblig-d
to retire back again to their Ships. The next touch they
had with them, the /.nwforr Men handled them to hcrtf'
Advantage dill : The Dutch mwh needs come and gi\c the
lllanders a Challenge, which they accepting of, mann'd
out a couple of Praws and fo went to it, two Praws to
four; the event of which Skirmilh was, that the /.,»«-
inrc:i took one of their Praws, killed all the Men, and
purfued the reft home to I'oolowny. Thefe littlc'Suc-
celTes put them mightily in lieart, and the Dutch were
Adverfarics that grew every Day into more and more
contempt with them. Thefe People, tha" belonging tu
the «.!«,/<. Klands, andieryweli difpofcd to fubmit to

But now theypropofed to furrcndcr too, and agreed 7**
that their Sabanderlhould be empower 'd to c&mc over to

Chap. XXXV.
J Declaration put forth by the Dutch, containing the Account they
give oftheVijfercnccs hctmcn the Englifh and thcm/ehes, and
the Grounds of their TrctenjiOm to, as well as their Trocccdin<^s at
the Iflandi of Ban da. To rvhich are added fome brief Jniniad"
vcrjwns upon it.
IN the former Chapters v»c have heard our Mer-
chants and FaCfors abn ad making divers hea-
vy Complaints of the iturJ'. A terrible Oiit-cry
there has been of liijulliec and Oppreliion, of
Treachery and Barbarity ; in Ihort of fo many Breaches
(if the Laws of Rinht Rcafon, Good Manners, ami
Chrilti.in Charity, that the Bufmefb requires to lx^ more
ifilipemly looked into. Now as our own People have told
their .Story at large, and reprefeiitcd the Matter .is they
iliought tit and juft, fo we mull hear what the other party
has to fay, and wh.it account they give of things for their
own Juftitic.itioii. "lis but fair and equal to allow thetn
all the fcope that can be to make their own Defence ; and
u<overv whit as free for them to Anfwer an Accufation,
as 'tis fur the others to bring it in againll them. This is
a I'rnilcge that all iMankind have an indifputable right to,
and to deny it at any time ( except in a Matter that car-
rier itsoivii .Vight and Lividence along with it J is to fix
a Ulot of ."'ulpiciou upon the Charge, and render the
Truth of ^t doubtfu' to all unbyalfed, impartial Peo-
ple. J
Th.v''n*s therefore may be done with a» much advan-
fPo as (an be delired, we (hall offer a Copy of their
ownL*:elaraiion, which fully exprelles their mitid in this
Biilinefs, and wa; intended by liicm for a coiripleat
.\nl'\ver to all rhe material Particulars urged againd them,
with reference to the B.tiu'n Alfairs.

AiihcHayof fS'l.hnln, liefidci the ufual bulincls of

Our own I olfes were lefs than could reafonably have

yet ipiite forgot the Hrit ; the Winds blew fair and in-
vited them to come down upon us ; but they pafs'd off
that Kindnefs, and delired to be e^eufed.
Thisfpare lime we thought ht to improTc as diligently
as wc could, and liiice wc were not to light, began to do
bufinefs.
We made towards J-if; lei Road, and landed the Com- They I.nil

Such lud.ien cintrary pulls of Wit.d world meet and

by thai (jcntlemaii no longer, for at lalt it fer.ed our

after we were engaged, itcalm'd .all of a bidden, and foj,/™
two of our Ships that lay nearelt the b.nemv were forced
to Ic • the heavielt burthen of the Adion for fome time ;
i'ut I- the inparallcb'd Diligence anil Refolution of our
Men, ilie other two that lav behind were broiipht into

Minds more lirinly, under the pretext of Religimis Mor-

their own Eoilies. Onei f ihcm which I law, was an ab-
folute Monfter, and one might well have queition'd, whe-
ther he w.is of the Human Kind or no. He was <]uito

him, that did loth bcp and anfvver Queftioiis for him ; all
that he did Imiifelf, wa^ only to lav his Hand upon his
Breall, and bow his Body a little. The common People
h.ive a mighty Veneration for thefe fort of Men, which
are Saints 111 their elteem, as any thing indeed 'hat plajs

horrid, very eafdy gets that Char.adcr amonpll them : A
beibarous Countenance, overgrown Nails, and long
Ihaggy Hair, dues better than a good Stock of Piety and

But to leave them ; the Country along the (iai^s, from

When they arc in, they walli Themf-lves all over ani

.Mter thefe Ceremonies in the Water, they go and inike
their Offerings to the Idols, at which time th- old IV-lU
mutter certain Prayers, which they believe ro be a moa

will walh a place upon the Earth that is their full lenc'h

ration the Dutch did dclilf, and a fort of "Frnce was made
for fame Davs ; but the Flame broke out .again when that
time was eipircd. and raged with more violence for the
fp.icc of a Month after. And now hanging was too good
for the Dutch tint were alliore ; they were appointed to
Ibme more cruel Fate ; but what that lliould be, was not
caljc for their enraged Eiicmies to .igree upon amongrt
themfclves. There were fo many ditt'erent Opinions a-
bout the Method and Manner of their Fxeciition, every
ones Invention being cmploy'd to make it -s barbarous as
could be ; that by this means they got a Rv.ricve till ano-
ther Pca;e was concluded.
Had the Psirions of their Adverfatiesbeen more cool
and calm, they had all died for't, and the Peace had come
IOC late ; but their wild iinpiv ci n'li Fury tranfponcd them
ac that rate, that they could not eoiiimand Thoughts great
enough to anfwcr the greatnefs of their Indignation, and
foloft their opportenity of expreilmg it. A very rare as
well as an odd thing, for Mens Lives to be fav'd thus by
thee-xcefsofCre.eky in their Adverfarics ; for bufic de-
figning Ragc,to do the Work of Mercy and Good Nature,
and by the heichts of Study and Contrivance, to difap-
point it felf. rut thus 'twas, a feafonablc Peace intcr-

once more their horrid Fate.

rhn M.r. fame, yet the Bodies fthey believe) arc different, and fo
"' there s variety ftill, ami perhaps all that may bcdcfircd.
But the licavicft ran of the Burden lies upon the poor
Woman ; if they die firll, their Husbands arc condenm'd
to live uninarried ; but tf their Husbands die firft, tliev
arc condemn'd to bum, or be buried alive along witli
them : The latter fccms to be the Fate of the Bramens
Wives, and the former that of the Peoples in general : So
that here's Rcafrm enough for them on both (ides, lo pray
for one another's Lives ; the Mar perhaps may be fond
of the Comforts of the married State, and fo his Wife's
Life is a great BlelFtng to him ; and the Woman, 'tis pro-
bable, is willing to live and have her Iharc of them, and
other Enjojtnents too ; and iheretore i needs be a\ery
tciidei aid careful Nurfe to her Husl , and do all that
lies ill hiT power to plcafe and cherill. .um, and make his
Life ealie to him, ttiat he may weather out the Point as
long as 'tis pt'lTible. She is obliged to attend the Work
of h'inning that Thread with all the Art and Nice Appli-
cation Ihc can ; to run it out to the utinolt length, and
draw it as fine as may be, without danger of breaking ;
for as long as this lafts, Ihc laifs ; and when the Good
Man goes, flic can't ftay long behind hiui : And if flie
does not die of her own accord fur Grief, the Country
will make her do't upon another account, for there's no
lonc-liv'd Widows amongll tli.'iii , nor no Women ever
fiilier'd to tell their feconci Husbands how kind and obli-
ging their firft ul'ed to be to them. As for ilicii other
Rites, wc have little account of them: Only they liiy,
that every Seventh Day is facrcd withtlicm, and devoted
to ihc folcmn Exercifes of their Religion, befides which
they obfene fevcral others as Fcftivals and Holy-Days, in
the compafsof the Year.
The king of this Ifland is rcprcfentcd as a very porchc
Prince, able to bring into the Field jooooo Poor, and
I oooou Houfe ; and very rich too, a? it ftiou'd fecm by this,
that the Furniture of his Table w.is nil folid Gold. He
came .o the Shore to fee the Ouich Fleets, in a Chariot
drawn with Buffals, himfelf being Driver ton, ho'dingthc
Whip and Reins in his own Hand. His Troi j"; thar at-
tended him, were arm'd with Spears Flamc-fonii'dCrifes,
Bows made of Cnnes with po^fon'd Arrows. 1 hey arc
People of a blai k dull Complexion, like the Jr.-.rns their
Neijjiibours, little ccinecrn'd about anv thing of Trade j
or it they arc, they deal for nothing but Cotton Cloth.
The Illand is no more ilian twelve Gnnimi Miles in com-
pafs, a Spot incredibly fmall, lonfidering the Report of
the vaft Armies i; produces: Bi t as httle .;s 'tis, 'tis a very
rich and fertile Soil, luxuriant in its Produdions, and
excellently well water''i.
The Dutch obferv'd, that the Bam-i-.ns who were here
wore a certain Stone of the bignefsof an Eg-' al)Out their
Necks i 'tis perforated in one part, and oii't of the Hole
hang down three Threads, which they fay is an Emblem
of the Supreme Divinity.
■Jhey began their Voyage out of thefc Parts, for Eiiretf
again, in f\-l>ruAiy, /I. D. 1 596. and concluded it before
the middle o{ .IwiuH, A. D. i 597,

THO' the Refult of the former Voyage was lit-

Time ; yet tlic Dutch not at all dilcouraped
wi'li their poor Sucecfs, no looner faw the tirft
Ships letuni, but they lent out thefc to make a Second
Trial. And here we have, as it were, the whole Repulv
lick, failing away it or.ce to the I-.M-lniiet. Here's the
Prince, and the Provinces, the Stadthnlder, and the
States thcmfcives ; Prince Mr.w !ce, UoUi-.nrI, ^c'.ii;,/, and
the reft, all upon the march together. 'I is as if they
were going to make a new Settlement abroad, and de-
lign'd to have the / nw Countn:-: \\\ ll'in, as well as in Eu-
tif'. But we'll follow them, and lee what they do.
Having fet Sail fr<'m the IV.vf/, they kept Company
together as far as the Capeof (.'ooiy lli-if But there partly
hy foul Weather, and their ovs-n ill Conduit, they were
partcd.Someofthem held their way to the Iflc St.M/!i>,and
the reft to the Ifle /Jc C'.)/;.-, cail'd by them Mnmicr Ifle,
in Cotnplement to the Prince of that Name. 1 his Ifland
they commend highly Sir its excellent Trees, Palms, and
Eliony, black, red, and yellow ; for its Air and Soil, the
Animals it produces, as divers fortsof Fowl, butefpecially
the Tunoifes, wh eh do here piow to fiich a bignefs as is
almcft incrediWle. I'hey fa e, th.at they arc, fome of them,
big enough i6 carry f 'ur Men upon their B.icks, aid that
ten Men n ay fit all together in the holii-w of theSheil.Tis
a wcndcr they did not make \t\e of ibme of thefe line
Shells inftead of Boats, to wait upon their Ships ; for 'tis
a far moie i om(«:ndious (as well as alcfs chargeable) way
of making Bo.its and Skiff;, to kill a few 'lortoifcs, and
ukc off the Shells, than lo go to building of thciii the
comtnon way.
Ihofe Ships of the Ourr/ithat went to the Irte St. M/iry,
pot firft to U.tninm, and having made their way by Pre-
fcnrs, to the young King and Proie»ilor, quickly procur'd
» Grant for full Liberty of Trade, '\V'hether 'twas the
i • !
fame Protedfor or no, that was before, is uncertain;
however, the /)/(/./• were now more kindly us'd, and thft
Hrtnti-.tvrje and they niiphtv Friends together.
By that tune they had been here a Month, the other
part of t'n Fleet came in too ; but fadly weather-bcatcii
and diftrels'd, and fevcral of their Company dead : And
now fo many Ships being come together upon the Bitnta-
mfc, the Price of Pepper was raisd. The Du^c/j quickly
procur'd four of thejr Ships to be laden with Pepper, which
were forthwith difpatch d home : The reft rcfoi'vcd to
vifit the Molucca Illcs ; and Sdius being returnd to Hol-
Ijii.i, i/^iiiv/ivl^ was .Admiral in his room.
The Molucci Fleet in their way, put in xTuban, ano-7'w.<f7.
ther Town of y<iu<r, and at the Illc Marluie, upon the
fanic Coart Northward. That Ifland abounds in Rice,
which is the moft conlider.able of its Produdls ; the People
for the moft part live upon Spoil and Robbery. iMii
the D.vffA found by their cvvn fad Experience; for ha
ving landed fome Men here to enquire aAet?Tovifions,n^'^iV
they were feiz'd and captivated by thefe barbarous Fee- 13»» of 'tut'
pic, as were alfo thofe whom they fcntto look after them, ■"'■^'^ '"
And tho' they had made them Prifoners in this unjuft and **"**"*'
violent way, yet they had the Impudence to ask a prodi-
gious Sum for their Ranlomc, fo that the Dutch were
forc'd to fet a conliderabic Force of Men afliore, to try jo^'*"**^'
recover them by another Method.
Their old Friends the Por/wfur^r headed the InJUnt,
and a hot Skirmilh there was between them, but in the
midft of the Fight there happcn'd a Storm to rife, which
obliged the Dutch to give over in fome confufion, and re-
treat towards their Shijis to look after them.
This pave the Enemy an advantage to do them fome
mifchief.that otherwife perhaps they would not have done ;
fo that they came off with a confiderable lofs, and after
all were forced to pay loco Rials of Eight in Money and
Goods, for the Redemption of their Men.

a noble letimie to attend him in his Journey thither; his
tlephancs were fent out together with hisCuard, and a
eoltly I.itter for the Admiral himfelf to be carried in.
This King r/i Cr.ii.lc being mention'd, we muft digrcfs
a little into his Story, which may defervo our conlidcrati-

Inilict had fe.ited themfelves alfo in this llland of C )/.')/,
where they had their ftrong Fort of Colombo, and enjoy-
ed Quiet and Friendlhip with the Kings of the Country.

the PMupii:;c, and expell'd them the Country. The
lateKng Dmmr. had a Daughter living IHll, whom the
l'<'itugi,crie likwife had the breeding of, and her they
rcfolved to marry to the Govcrnour of hUlncci, and (o
ilriving out I'ividl.:. putthe Ciovcrnmciv. into their Hands.
Accordingly they brought this young Princefs with a
Potent Army to r .n.ic ; aid now l'im/:'n was forc'd to re-
tire and hide himlclf in the Woods, w'hcte yei he p'i'.i.ed

Ibll raauicd fome of the'ir Cultoms : 'I luis the Rooms

adorned with rich Arr.is Hangings and other thingsof the
like nature, that had far more of the .'.urcyV.K; "than the
//..//:'. mode in them.
Wlien they came to diltourfe < f the matter of Trade,
the King Ihewed an untommon degree of forwardncfs
and willmgnels to promote that Delicn 9 and ( whether
'twas a Compliment or no ) he told V/;' .V'i;,-)j that him-
felf and his Qiieen and all his Nobles would be ready to
tarry Stones aud Mortar for the building of a Fort when

went out one Day ami took three Portuguf:^e Shi^is, ^'"'""
burning them when ho had done, and bringing all thu
Men home Prilbners to the King. This did his Bulinefs,
and if the King had not been difpofcd tobe kind before,
'twas enough to have made him fo : A Sacrifice of his
Fnemies that had once, and would again beat his Crown
from his Head. What rmildbc more agreeable and pro-
cure more Favcnir for him that offer'd it ? This Prince
w.as mightily uelighttd with Mufick, and when the Ad-
miral found his Inclination to lie pretty ttrongly that way,
heprefented him with a couple of Mufieians, one of
whom came to very good Fortune by this mean!., for
the Charms of his Mufick perlw.adcd the King to make
him a Secretary of State; this was a very fine Poll for a
F'idler, and Preferment enough to have made a Man
Mulical tliat was not fo before. But farther, to (hew hs

E arc yet to proceed foiiie Removes
farther, in oir Enquiry into tlic Pio-
gtcfs of the nwch Erii-hhiini Trade.
W. D. 1603, in D:c.ii:lcr, a Fleet of
twelve Ships "■-? tail under the Comm.tnd of Siqlen Vci-
hnfn\ Having onblcd the Cape of <.,o:ti Ihpr, inftcad
of failing diredly towards i]k i:rjl-l>u{i:i, they went a-
lone the Coalt t,f ytfn^k, and nade up to Mc::;.imOi.ii.e,
which p'a c the', had propos'd to alUult. Here they came
to an .^nc hor clofc by the Caltle, and in fpitc ot all the
i,"i,(i,«t I'o.n;?i'(-v Forces, took feveral ->! their Ships that lay a-
'boi-t the Harbour. But the Grand Dcfign ot all did not
fuccccd ; the Pir,it.9j'c:^c were too well fortified there, to
be bear out at that time ; and the Dmcl; with all their
Skill and utmoft Fudctvours, could not accomnlilh any
thini; confider,ab!c towards the difpoffelfingof them.
ti/mUir, They met with the like Difappointment too when they
^.V. "o^canie with iheir Fleet before t.i.i ; the Enemy was ready
to recei\c them, and had made fuch Piovilicn again)^
their coming, that nothing was in Prudence to beattempi-
ed. All things were in fuch order, th.at it look'd as if the
Dcflgii had been difcover'd in Europe, and Notice had
been given from thence to them at Co/i, that they were to
cxpcd: a Viht from the Dmcl:
Thus baffled and •ruftratcd cf their Hopes, they fiil'd
from thence down the Mali-.linr CoM, putting in at C'.!«.i-f^.j,
HI) and C.ilccui, in the Samorine's Dominions. They
treated with this Prince about Trade, and came to an A- iiiry 15-!
grccmcnt with him, which was drawn up in Writing, *j'5",^
and ratified with all the ufual Solemnities. ou'- •■
Upon this Coalt they had a Fight with the Portuguese ;
but fuch a one, as 'tis probable, the little advantage, or
elie the great lofs gotten by it, might incline them to for-
bear giving any particular Accounts to the World of that
matter.
From hence fomc of them wenttoC.im.'vy.t, and the rcftj.,,^,
to Ccd'in ; they atceinptcd nothing at tliis place neither ;'
and if they had laid any Plot for the furprize of it, dicy
did not think fit to try to put it in execution ; 'tis likely
for the fame Rcafon, that they forbore doing fo at '.'"*':•

From hence ihey went and viiitcd tiic King of Jo , their

ufeful Advice of our Sailers .about the varying be nicely
oldVrv'd and followed every where. They prop.-ife it as
the lureft Rule to goby under all the Irregularities of
Streams and Currents ; and the belt Frmciple to proceed
uponin the Reeliticannn of the Frrors that may be in-
troduced thereby. Nay, they declare it tobe the only
Help in thefc Cal'es, and that 'tis not poillble for .my Man
to deal to any good I'lnpok- with Currems, without he
calls in the Variation to his Anillance. This therefore
may be a fuffu i.nt Reakin for the utrnofl Care and moll
Critical Oblervaaon in the Bulinefs of the Variation.

The iSth lieing bee .ilin'd, we faw a Ship two Leagues
to the Windward ()f Us ; and I fent M. Mtitrurirr with
ij Men inthe I ong-Biat, ordering tli.'in not to I nardthc

the PiirUr .aboard of us, and to acq'i.iint him that I de-
lignM "er.i no harm, but only to know if it was not too
lute to double Cape ( ■"; 'in. Sometime after, I faw our
Long-Iiojt bi ard the Ship, and f-me Muskets ttr'd, ami
after tliai a Boat cime otl' from the Ship, and made to-
w.irds lis. 1 he Calm continuing, and the Boat advan-
cing but flowly, I fent(;ut our Skiff to know their News,
which 1 was m pain to hear. I 'pon its return, I iiiider-
flood that the I'cuple in the r)0.at were fiee ef"our Men,
thtceof whom were dangeiouily wounded. When thefe
came .iboani, the) recouiit.d a Tr.igicnl Story, ;''^.That
upon their apjro.uh to 'he Ship, which was a large one,
M. Siomr:„i:t gave 'em Notice to lower their Sails ; that
they no' obeying, he tir'd upon them two lirafs Guns,
and a Epiadnde of Musket Ihot ; that thereupon they
ftruck, and to'd liim, he might Ixiard them if he would ;
upon which oi:r Men I'oarded them upon the Qiiarter-
Detk, and having kill'd all the Men abaft, thought
tlwmfelves entirely Mailers of the Ship ; when of a fiid-
den 6u or 80 Men Itarted up in the horeealtle, and with
Shields and Hangers in their Hands, fi II upon our Men
with fuch fury, that they oblig'd them to retire 10 the
Boat ; but by an unlucky mifthance, the Boat was Co be.
I.iged, that ihe\ could not difenga^'e her, lb th.u mnllof
our Men were kit) d with Pick-axes, Arrows, and I'ot-
Cirenadocs, which were thiown into tlij Boat ; and the
relt being torc'd to Uap into the .Sea, one of 'em fwini'd
to the Mo<irs Boat, and having cut the Cable, tax'd liini-
lelf and the other four Men, without ttaying for the lejf
who in all probability were drowii'd. '
Next Morning I made all the Sail I could to come up
with the Ship ; and ha\ ing boarded it, timnd no Body a-
Ixiard but hfteen poor old Wrctehe>, with white Bcirds
reaching to their (iirdle, who with 'I'eais and Lamenta-
tions threw themfelves at my Feet, and raisd my Coir-
|>allion more than Revenge ; bdides, that the h\e Men
who were fav'd. iinaiiimoully aliiiril me, that they dul
rut fee them in the Engagement. 1 he .Aeeoiint I h.-id
trom thefe Men, was, that the Ship ha\ing tarry'd .1
Cargoeol Pepper to A/av,/, w.as upon her reiiiin to i'^.
ii.un/: near (;.i/:-,;ir,to which pjace Ihe belong'il ; thatthcm-
lebes were poor People coming rrom Mcc.i, to beg upon
that Coalt ; th.it the Owners of the Ship, in number 80,
had gone off' the Night before in our Boat, with iheir
(iold and Silver, and the Boat Iving ainiolt overladen,
hadlefi them 1 eliind. I'pon the whole, I conlider'd th.it
thele poor Men were innocent, and that the Ambirioii
aiid .Av.irice of our Men was the Caule of their Death,
lince the Moors had Itruck, and delign'd tluiii no harm]
till our Men fell upon them : I'ut thefe Reafons I fpar'd'

Months upon a Voyage, tlui's commonly perfiarin'J in

v\ one I':!"', who had been Interpreter to the En.'Ji/h Fa-
ctory 111 th.at place. This Interpreter told nie. That the
/■'ii:;///'' and />«;./' had been expell'd that pl.ace, by ilie
Kir.C of .' '." , two Months ago ; and that there was a
iTcit deal of Pepper aflvire ; but we could not buy it
witliout a 1 iicnce from the King of Jt/.-w, who was
iKfil of all that Coaft.
Vie likcwife acquainted me, that the Hope (ourVue
.Vlir.irnI) had roiah'd upon the Coall, alioui 20 Leagues
off, in the latter end of 'Jhk", and had lent their LijiiR-
I'oa: with 1 % Men to this place, to take in fielh Provi-
lions, which they wanted mis'htily ; that upon the Woats
arriial, a /•;./.(' Ship in the Road fir'd upon them; but
iipim Ccmplaint exciis'd ihemfelves, pleading, that iliey

a kind Keciptlon fn ni the Governour, and taken in what
I'lovil'onsiliev wanud, let out in quelt of their own Ship,
1:1! could iK'ver meet with ir, upon which they rcturn'd to
tins place, where le\en of 'em dyd in Vtioin, four went
fur . .'!■'(•" in a f>«'i''Sliip, three for tiiMit.vn in another
/)«.'.' SIrp, and one conrinu'd in the Country, and earnd
his Bread by gathering of Pepper.
1 was inhnitelv griev'd to hear that Captain Cfn:vc had
been I'l inconliderate as to lend his Long-Boat fo far from
him ; efpecially when I was inforiii'u, th.at among the 1 %
Men he had loll, there were two principal Cominilfaries,
and a Pilot.
l.'pon further enrjuiry Pciiro inform'd me, That the
place where the Ucfc h.ad call .Anchor, was a great llland
about it Leagues to the Wcllward of thatplaie, that,
for a certainty, they had not futfer'd Shipwreck, either
upon th.at llland, or along the Coalt, lliicc the Praw^ (lo
the jhips of that Country are call'd), going to and again,
had ni-vcr difcover'd any Wreck ; that the two Cummil-
Utics, before they dy'd, were of Opinion, that the Ship
had i-cen dro e froin her Anchors by Storm, and not be-
iiij; able to make her fonncr Station, made the belt of her
way tn U.t'U/m , expeiflingthat I would touch at this place
ucording to my Prom'fe, and take up her Mci.
.As to the Affront otfer'd 'em b .' the Ihiu-I; he yau- me
tokiiow. That the /JwcA knew 'em lobe i'rn.l; haciiig
tpjke wiih them before they hi'd ; that the News of ihe
I'cace between the D:iuh and '.«,i;. '.'//', wasarii\ d beloic
this happeii'd ; that the Dure!- had repreleiited to the Go-
\crnour and Inhabitants of that pl.ace, that the K.,,, /
were Robbers, and mean'd only to <>bler\e the Landing-
place, ill order to fack them ; th.at they would not alfiil
our two Commi'l'aries any manner ol way, wheilvr 111
Health or Sickncfs, nor give the leall Relief to any of our
Men, bating foire few Sailors that they Itood in need of
and that the l-i'^J'f: had ferv'd our Men to the utiiioll of
thoir power, tie added, that the Governour was very
Icniibte of the Malice of the Oi/.'c/, who meant only to
eiiitrols the In.liis to themlelves, and had but lately abus'd
the King of Jit.i-.t'.t, and ul'urp'd his Territories ; for
which Reafoii the King of .Ichcn thought lit to dillodjje
eai of TiVow.
As to the Death of our Men, he faid, it had been a very
I (U) Year in th.at place, as ever was leeii ; but that after
ill, the OdfcA were fufpedeJ of having Ihorteii'd their
I'au, eoufideriiig that thole who dy'd were the Perfons

I (lueltion'd him about iIk' Injury done by the Outch to
tile King of jMntnt, and whether they had laid Siege to
Aii.Mwj. He alfitt'd me, that it was dill bclieg'd, info-
inii( li, that there was no Commerce or Traffick with tlwt
Citv ; that the Oiitiii had polfefsM themfebes of Jac.in^,
ir.A expell'd the King ; that they had raz'd the ancient
Ci'.y, and built a ftrong Fort, and a City after the Fa-
lliioii of their own Country, which they had peopled with
all forts of Nations ; and in fine, that they were at that
tunc MiClcrs of the Sttcight of Sand/i, where no Body
could tail wirbottt their Palfport. Having iitaturely weighM

vsith two Llephants ; ami that with the lollowim; Cere- .Vuiiitii.i: of
monies. I /pon a great hlephant late one of the principal ''"= "•■''*■
Oranka\es m acover'd Pulpit, who fcii me a grtat Silver
Dllll, cover'd with a Cloth eiiibroidei d with (iold and
Silkol divers Colours i in wliuh I piii ihe letter and
iheiigaie it to him. By his Conimaiid one of the other
Orankiyes mounted the other Jilcphint. anil afrer him
the Sabaiid.ir, then 1, and after me aiioiliu : ,So iluat four
of us rode upon one tiephant, and 1 fat between tvvtf
Peril lis.
The other two Orankayes rode upon AdUn Horfe?
before the Hlephant thatearry'd the Letter.
Before them we:it 14 or 15 Men, each of 'em carrying
a piece of the Prefent, cover'd with vellovv Cloth, with-
out which nothing could be preleiited to th;' King. Six
Triinipets, lix Drums, and lix Ha.uLoys lead the Van
which loriided till we arriv'd at the C.-. !e, about I
League oil'.
In the Rear follow'd three Sahandar,. and all the Offi-
cers of the .A!fiiidei]iie on foot.
When we arriv'd at the Callie, we alighted at a great
plac.i before It, and when we entred thenuier Gate, all
mv Men were ordei'd to retire. Th n we pals'd two
oiher (iates. I was order' 1 lo pat off my Slio es, witlv-
out wh ih Ceremony 1 could iivt have .AuJiencc of the
Kin.g.
Soon after, the Royal Chappe was brought, and being
Hrll put iiitii my Hands, then rais'd a'-ove my Head, and
re-^leliver'd to him th.it brought it, 1 was order'd to fol-
low it, being aceompanv'd b., a Sabandar ,iiid an Orun-
kaye.
\Vc waited f imc time at the Kind's Chamber-Door,
wliich WMS cnvei'd w.th Silver Plate. A; lall an liunuth
came 01. t, who gave the Sabandar to kiuvv, that tho' the
King was more mdilpos'd that Day tlun ufually, yet
lince I was lb near, he Ihould bring me in. Upon which
1 was led into the Clumber by two Men. one holding me
by each Hand; and let upon a Tiirky-Carpet with my
Legs .a-crol's, in purl'uanc: of the Cullom of that
Country.
Then the two Men retir'd, and I faluted the King in TheFonnof
the uUial form, vi:{. by joyning my Hands, and lifting S'luu'loo.
them up to my Forehead, bowing my Head a little. The
Cullom does not oblige one to take off their Hat, but I
being unaccullom'd to appear before Perfiiis of that Qiia-
lity with my H.U on my Head, chi.fetopiit .toff. The
King fite upon a place about two Foot higher, and gave
me to know by the Sabandar, Th.at he was inlinitclv ol>-
lig'd to the King of Fr.incc for the Prefent he had lent him,
which he cfteem'd more than ten Bahars of Gold. Then
he opcii'd the Letter, and gave it to me to interpret to the
S.abandar, who undertttwd a little I'lrturue^^e. But his
Kuowledgcof that L.atiguagc was lb very'imperfeiil, and
the Stile of the Letter lo uncommon among them, that I
could not make him uiiderftand it : For the very firft
word, vl^. Moil Itliijhi.iii, put him to a Itand ; upon
which I turn'd it to Diarti} Bnthcr , which the King lik'd
mightily.

and nut to meddle with his Deportment ; fo that the Ora-

After fniuc wrangling he yielded ; but when we had

Upon which I ftopp'd and w ou!d have no irore, alledging
only that his Houfe wa.s faulty, and that I'me Rain had

liivided in two by a very narrow Vally, which is not ob-
fervable but on the South-fide. The Pepper grows ai the
foot of this Mountain, as well as in the interveningPlain,
which extends it felf about l or 4 Leagues in length.
The Pepper-Plants are drefs'd after the lame manner with
fill Vines. Were thi* Tfland more ciikivatcd, it Would
produce many more than it does ; for there are not at pre-
fcm abo\e 100 Pcrfons in the Ifland, whereas formerly it
was inhabited by above 700.
1 he Soil uf the above-mentioii'd places is very conveni-
ent for all forts of Drugs, Fruits, Rice, and Cattle, bc-
inn cnrich'd with excellent Pafturage, and plenty of Ri-
vcii and Springs. 1 Uc reft of the Ifland is cover'd with
very thick Woods, in whit !. efpecially upon the Moun-
tains, there ar' fome Trees exactly ftraight, of an incre-
dible heightli and proportionable I hick nets.
On the South-lide the Shoar is frequently interfetSked
with Arms of the Sea, leaving little Iflands and Rocks co-
ver'd with Wooiis.
On the North, there lie* a large Ifland about a League
off.
On the Kaft it has a Bay cover'd with » little Ifland, in
whiih Ships of loo Tun may ride with fafety, and be
Ihslter'd from all Wind*. In a word, there is very ftfe
Anchorage all round the Ifland ; and any part of it affords
excellent frelh Water.
From the beginning of July to the end of Oflnier, the
Winds are there Weftcrly, at vrhich time it rains very
much, and the Climate is unhealthy, as it happens in all
other places of the fame Latitude.
The Pepper ripens in Nmtmier : It's Harveft is from the
middle of Dtcembtr : > the end of Febru4ry. At prefenl
this Ifland produces every Year 500000 Pound Weight of
excellent large and dry Pepper, which is preferable to that
of any other place in the Inditi.
This ifland is fnbjeA to the King of Qjfedn, without
wiwfe permiflion no Trade can be carry'd on there. The
Pw/«gu«^[f that refide in Malitcn, como there every Year
to I'xade, and continue there from Dictmher to ¥tkr»4r}t
TheCommoditiesthey bring are Gu:{uriu Plufli, Salt, Rice,
and a few Rials, which go well off there, by reafon of
the vicinity of the Chintfr, a good number of whom are
fettled at PauhI, a Town fituated on the oppofite Coaft.
They fell their Tcpper by Mcafiire, and not by Weight,
which is better for the Buyer, fince at that rate he cannot
bt fo eafily injur'd by wetting it, or deceiv'd by the put-
ting Stones or Sand among ir, as they commonly do at A-
clxH. They fell it by the Nali, which contains i£Gau-
Kifl, wSii it ta's, each Gauta conuiiiing 4 Chuppa's. Fifteen Nali
•Muini, make a Bahar, which is 450 Pound .IvtrrfK^w.- So that
the Meafure in this Ifland is greater by one quarter than
in the King of A<btn\ Territories. The common Price of
a Bahar is 16 Rials.
The Pepper-Plants grow in a fat free Soil. They arc
planted at the Root of all forts of Trees, round winch
they creep and iwift like Hops. The way is, to take a
Shot or Spring of an old Pepper-Plant, and plant it under
lomc Shrub, taking care to clean the Ground, and weed
out all the Kerbs about it : It w'll bear no Fruit till the
tliiid Year, after which it bears every Year perhaps fu or
fcven Pound Weight of Pepper. Its firft, fecoiid, and
third Crops arc m h at one ; but the fourth, fifth, and
<ixth dccrcafc one thii ., both in the uuantity and lize of
the Pepper ; and in the fevcnth, eighth, and ninth, the
Pepper Incomes very fmall and ftanty : So that after its
twelfth Year it bears no more ; and a new Shot muft be
planted in its rtwm. For the hrll three Years the Ground
about 'em muft be kept very clean, elfe they will not
bear : And even that requires a great deal of pains, for
*r"< »*''>* Climate is cxueam .noift, by reafon partly of the
•I tiMMaait Rains, and partly of the Dew, which is fo great, chat if
one walks among Trees, or Grafs, before the Sun-rifing,
they will be as wet as if they waded through Water.
When the Plant begins to bear, the Branches of^the Tree
round which it creeps, muft be lopp'd off, left they inter-
cept the Rays of the Sun, which above all things that
Plant ftands moft in need of. When the Clufteri of the
Fruit arc form'd, care muft be taken to fupport 'em with
Poles, left their Weight thould draw down the Plant,
which of it felf is tender enough. Care muft likewifc be
taken, that no BufHes, or Oxen, or large Animkls, get in
Among 'cm, fur fear they be entangled among the Bran-
chcs, and fo break 'etn. They muft be planted at a con-
venient diltaiice from one anpther, that one may get lound
Vm with a Ladder to prune them after theif Fruit is ga-
tber'd ; for oiherwife tncy would grow too high, sc4 fo
beat left Fruit.

aobtr 'tis red ; in Nntmter it begins to grow black • iji
Diamler 'tis all o\tt black, and confequcntly ripe This
IS the moft general Methwl, tho' in fomc places us rioe
fooner or later than in others. When the Fruit is riw
they ciu off the Clutters, and dry 'cm in the Sun, till the
Grain falls off from its Stalk j which dots not come to
pafs in lels than i j Days, tho' the Sun is very hot • jnd
during that time they muft be tum'd from fide to fide
and cover d up in she Night-time. There arc fome of the
Grains that neither redden nor blacken, but continue ftill
white; which are made ufe of Phyfically, and fold for
double the Pnce of the othei'.
Of late Years, the Inhabitants underftanding that F». ,
reigncrs want.^^} thefc for the Curie ufe, have found out , tZL
way of whitening the black ones, by taking them when "i^-l^
they arc yet red, and walhing off the red Skin with Wa-
tcr and Sand , fo that nothing remains but the Heart of the
Pepper, which of it felf is white.
By this Account we may perceive that Pepper does not
grow fo ealily as many are apt to imagine, and that the
rcpper-Plants require a great many Hands to drefs them ■
which at prefent is mightily wanted in this Ifland, both
It and the Country of QjuHn being laid dcfolate by the
King of^cien within thefe three or four Years, infotJiuch
that the King of Quidn is now oblig'd to put himfelf un-
der the Protedtion of the King oFSi/im.
The Inhabitants are M.iUyi, but not fo crafty and ro-
guilh as thefe of ylchtn. Their Habit is much the fame
but not fo rich. '
They are very lealous Mtbomttani, and in their Cu-
ftwns and Way of Living, differ but little from the Inhi-
buants of Aclxn,
They have a fort of Coin not unlike our Prench Suit but
of « little bener Alloy, which they call Tras j and Ja of ,
thefe make a Rial. They reckon by Taels, but one of''*'*
their Taels makes four of thefc of Achcn.

The Cuftoins and Inipofts at this place were very mo-
derate, till the Faiherot the prelcut King came to Rciiin
who was a perfidious and cruel Tyrant, and by Divine
Vengeance (as the Natives will have it; was carry'd off in
Captivity by the King of Acben about three Years aeo
In carneft, this place bears fcveral Marks of the Divine
Wrath ; for :a>oHt tour Years kcforc'tA'as fubdued two
thirds of the Inhabitants,amountiiig to alwe 400*0 Souls
were carried (iff by a Plague.
The next Year after that, the Pcttilcnce fcii'd upon the
Cattle, and carried off all the King's Elephants, and ," of
their other Cattle.
The third Year, there was fuch a Scarcity of Rice and
all manner of Fruit, that tliey underwent a terrible Fa-
mine.
The Year after that, the King of Athn, who alvrays
lies in wait to pillage his Neighbours, laid Siej,etoOw./.«.
The City held out three Months, and then the King with
his Family and Retinue, confiftingof iie Men. retir'dto
his Palace which he had fortified, and where he was re-
di'c'd to the laft extremity of want ; till about two Months
after, that the King of Acl>en\ Officers overperfwaded him
to furrender, by alledging, that their King admir'd hiitv
jor his Valour, and would certainly re-inftall him in hii
Throne, if he trufted to his Difcretiof.
This Siege wasca.ried on by the Acbm Army with a
great deal of vigour ; infomuch, that they fought whe«
up to their middle in Water, in Winter; for their King
hid fent 'em word. That he would cut 'em all in pieces,

the llfpe parted from mc, they came to ?.n Anchor at
long llland, about io Leagues from T/'eow ; and fct
their Long-Boat to TiVoti'.
Twelve Days after the departure of their Long-Boac,
they flood for yicew themfcKes, to putalhorc Mr. Tclie,;
the (ir(t Coinmillarj', who was then ill. But the Winds
and Tides being contrary, they not only loft the Men in
the Long-Boar, but even thofe they had on board were all
lick, bating the Captain and live <ir fix moic. In this dif-
aflerous Condition they met with a /.)»/c/' Ship of iloo

with very large ones, he did not' value mine; but after
ail, that it 1 could tind any extraordinary Rarity, 1
might ccrt.iinly obtain my Rcqued. Upon this Advice,
I bought of I'd iky, the Forttiguc^^i-, wh(f was lately rc-

On the top of this Bank there grows a great maiw lai ne
Reeds as tall as Alli-trecs, and planted io thek that one

of ei;.;lir IJays he allows 'em four to work at what 'tt'iirk
they will, fortheirnwii LivelvhooJ. And thus the Kitii;
pays nothing lor their Maintenance. He employs them
moltly in cutting of Wood, making of Mortar, hewing
ot Qiiarries, and Building. There are three or foerOver-
fccrs of their Work, who are maintain'd by the Slaves ;
for thole who uiulerlbnd any Trade may live pretty hand-

l„^/l,'JJj,'^., as the other Women ; fucli being the Ciiftom of the
Country, which they reckon very conducive to health.
For t'lis end they have an Inclnfurc in the .Sea, cover d
with Cotrnn Cloth, and upon the Ihore a little Houfc,
with a fiell' water Bath, which they tife as thev cornel
out of the .Sea. Daylight is never fern in the Queen's
ChambiTs, or thofe of the ladies of (Jiiahty, tor their
only light is I amps burning rontimially. And the place
of the Room where they iifually retire, is block'd up
with four or five rows of Tapeftry, the innermod of
which neither Man nor Woman dares to pnl! up with-
out coughing or hcnuninpfirft, and telling who they arc.

neither Man nor Woman in the \1.tl,ihrs dares to throw

Fruiis of the Country, and a lax of dry'd Fifli, Shells
call'd linh, and (Jorils of Cocoes, which he lays upon
them according to their circiimltanccs ; for he has no

of the Hfijf/'.', one C.:>cnlim a Mahometan Apoltatc,
fitting up for a Prophet, pcrfwaiicd the People to pay no

Among the Towns of this Province, the molt famous
TVCiiojfis .•/«,'>, thciTloll pleal'anteft Ti>wn in all Afiict:, built
by the R^mjtu on the Coait of the Ocean, 60 Mik-s
Northof /)f/^;, andEaft of Ai^tmur. The Inhabitants
arc I ivil and wealthy. They wear a decent Appatcl,
and trade with the I'ntiiziicjt and I-Jij^H/h, The adja-
cent Country is very fertile, the Plain round it being al-
moll iio Miles over. In ancient times it had many
li'irncd Men, and wasadoin'd withitately Temples and
I'alaces, rich Shops and Warc-houles, and charming
Garden;, which to this day yield great plenty of Me-

from /tpril 1.0 September, and in reginl the Sea runs ten
Miles npthe River, whidi makes all the Water in the
Townbrackilh, he fupply'd the Town with fa-lli Water
lion
a Foumam II Miles orf, railing the Aciu.-cdurts *, ^'j^JI^*^
archwile like th(jfe of /(;»«?, and difpcrling the Water
over the Town in feparate Pipes. Uut after Miinji.,\
death, this noble Water-work was deirohlhd in the
Wars between the Mr.tin Familyand.''<i7//fi's Succelf rs,
.and the Town has dwindled ever (ince, inlonmch, that
fcarcc the tenth part of it is now ifanding.The iimiMan-
jor caus'd ScUa to be wall'd round, and lor the ccnvcni-
ency of his Army, built in it a noble Hofpital, a datcly
Palace, and a magnificent Temple, within which was a
preity Chapel, where he order'd his Corps to 1 e incci'd.
Accirdingly he was buried there, and not only the ho-
nourable Branches of his own Family , but even tho
Kings of the M.uin Family lie inter'd in the fame
place.
The next Town in this Province is V-igii-., which \%i,,„^.
famous for the Sepulchre of one that is laid to have
wrought m.iny Miracles againft the fury of I. ions, and
was accounted a great Prophet. Afterthe folenin.zing of
Hnlkr, the Pcopleof Vc-{ make an annual Vifit to thi»
Tomb, which lies at the dillancc of no Miles from

The fecond Province of this Kingdom, is that cali'd
T/« Jtruto, ;f J-V^. It extends alnioft loo Miles in'"''!'^''".^' ''^'J
length, from the River B/(ivri;<,;i; F.iftw.ird, to the River"' ^""
Innuni. Its Northern Limit is tlieRiver Ji/u or Ci/H,ani
the Southern isihe .^f'..". It abounds in Corn, Frmr,
and Cattle, as much as .my other Courtiy.
In this Province the tirlt Town we meet with is Sella, ^^j
the Buildings of v^■hicll have a Itately ihcw of Antiqui-
ty, being fupported by Marble Pillars. The Temples
are very ni.arnificcnt, and the Shops arc built under large
Porches, with an Arch at the end of e\ery row, to di-
vide ( as 'tis reponed ) one Trade from another. The
Gcnouf; yeiictinnijjghjh, and D.i/./). arc wont to trade
with them. The adjacent Grounds being f.mdy and un-
fit for Corn, yie'i' plenty of Cotton, and the Inhal i-
tants weave it vet) fine. Fine Combs are likcwife an
ufefiil Commodity in this place; for they litve a great
deal of Box and other Wood fit for that Purpoie. They
have Judges, Arbitrators, and .1 very regular form of
Govcrrrri»nr.
The principal City of this Territory, «nd indeed of all
B<»)/.i. -, is h'r^, which was builr .(c' /J'/«. 7S6. by one T"' "^''T "^

liiiiMini^s and Inhabitants, that for (irandeiir it may he

cool theml'elvcs, which yet parboils their Body, and
makes them apt to catch cold.
Here isthe belt .^'jij-.r^-Wine in all Pcfi:i. They drink
Coli'te orCoho much ; it is a black Drink, or Broth,
made of Bunny-Howers, or Coava-Berries. It is not
tix-ithfonv, beiiiR foinewliat bitter, but very wholfome, ■
(the People fay) for it comforts raw Stomachs, helps Di-

Kor have thev lefs abundance of C'arbarito's, and
Mitton, liens, Fpps, Rue, with O^lleis, and many
tiii.is of Filh, which make the place more picafaiit to
live in. The bell Houfes in the Town are the Sultans,
tlieJihaw-baivlers, and the l-.ni^lijh and Out J' Agents.
Ihc li'^ij/h is allowed to difiday a Flag from the top
(if h,s Houfe, in memory ot their good Service done at

At the North and .South-end of the Town are two
Caltlcs, which have 3o Pieces of Brafs Ordnance plan-

are unskilful. I
The ;^M >omrM«Mofiiues, and Jewi/h Synagogues, arej

Siicets ate nariow. It is well fiimithed with Camels,
r--/iiH and ilir.i'i.!ii Horfis of the bell fiit. Mules and
ilr«.-j..ihAliiiegri's, but much infelted with jackals, which invade
|Ki the Town by Night in Troops, and tear the Dead out of
ilii'ir Graves, howling in a dre.adliil manner. 1 he In-

they ate too many and daring to be conquered.

Weapon two foot long, and four inches broad, waved,

and trade in Minder, Aduhcry, Theft, Rapine, Deceit,

lights ihem, and their i'riclls arc excellent inthofc Stu-

ciran is received in this llland as well as its Neighbours.
They arc very friendly to the l-.»glilh, efpecially lince
the Uutch have forced J neat' .: from them, betwixt whom
there IS an irrcconcileable Enmity. The Oian-k-m are

r
N the Ye« of our Lord ii^^, 1 departed from
ConJlantiKeplf, and pafling the liuxitie Sea, ai-
rived in the Tartnn Gjuntry, who have no fctlcd
place of .ibodc, but travel toward the South in
Winter, and when tlie Spring approaches, they
remove again towards the North. Their Hou-
fes are iTiadc of Wickers platted together and placed in
Carts, fomc of whieh arc l"o large, that uieafurinponcc
the breadth between the Wheol-ruts of one of their
Carts, I found it to lie lo F-'oot over, and wlien the
Houfc was upon the Cart, it reach'd over the Wheels
on each fide live Feet at leall. 1 told li Oxen in one
Team, drawn.;; an Houfe upon a Cart, eleven a liitafl.
The Axle-tree oi the Cirt was of an huge bigncfs, like
to the Mart of a Ship. The Man that drove the Oxen
flood in the Ocor of the Houfe. riiey go a How pace,
and when they come to any place where they intend lo
make ibine ftay, they take down thou Hoiifcs from their
Carts, and turning the Doors Southwards, the Mailers
Bed is placed at the North end of the Houfe. If he have
more Wivesthanonc, (he with whom he llept the Night
before, litsby hislidc the Day fjllnwing, and all his o-
tlier Wives mull that Day u'lort unto the fame Houfe to
drink.
In Winter they make excellent Drink of Rice, and
alb of Honey: In Sunimei they care not for any Drink
but('f/mi'/, which is Mares Milk piep.ai'd after this man-
ner. They fallen a long Line unto two I'olls (landing
liimly in the Ground, and unto the fiiiie Line they
'ye the young I'oals of thofe Mare* they intend to milk,
dicn come the Uams to (land bv dieir Foals, gently
luiilritigtheinfebes to be muked ; and if any ot'thein be
unruly, ilicy put her L'oal under her to hick her ivvhile,
and reinovliii; it uvav aumn, a Wan iimiks the Marc.
" • I
When they have gotten a quantity of thisMilk,they pour
it intoagrcat Bladder or Bag while it is new, and beat
the Bag withaClub, till it begins to buil like new Wine,
and to be f iv^'rcand Iharp of taftc. It bites the Tongue
like Wine of Rafps, leaving a taile behind it like to
Almond Milk J itintoxicatcs weak Brains, and ftrongly
provokes Urine.
The CarAciifmo! or black Cofnws, for Men of quality
todrink, is made on this manner They beat the Milk
till the thickelt part defcend to the bottom like the Lees
of White-wine, which is given to Servants, and makes
them flcep exceedingly. That which is thin and clear,
their Mailers drink, and is a very fwcet and wholfomt?
Lijiior.
Their Cows Milk is churned into Butter, which is
boiled and put into Rams Skins and relerved for Win-
ter. They put no Salt in ir, and yet it piicntics not.
by reafon of the long boding. 'Ihe Milk that remains
altcrthe Butter, tkcy let Hand till it be as ibwre as inav
be, tlicnboilit till 'tis all turned into Curds, which they
dry in the Sun until they are as hard as the Diofs of 1-
ron, and (lore it up in Bags agaiiill Winter; at which
time when Milk failcth, they put the laid Curds, called
Cftyut, into a Bladder, and pouring hot Water iui;oit,beat
it till the Curds arc dilfolved, and the Water 1 ccomc
vcrylowrc, and then drink it.
As to their Food, they cat all manner of Carrion or
without Fxception, ami among fo many Drov es it cannot ^ '
be, but liimc Cattle uiuft needs die. But in Summer, as
long as their Marcs Milk lads, they care not fir any
Food. When a Horfe or Ox dies, they cut the hleih in-
to thin dices, and hanging it up againit the Sun and
V\'iud, itprefem'y dries without Salt, and alio without

was ready to 1 chow uprniis fneh things as we wanttJ,
and canting us to fet down and drink of his Milk, he r-
quelled us to fay our Devotions for him. Then he en-
quired who was the picattlt Prince among the J' .!»(•:
I laid theHmperor ; He replied Nr, but the King ot
h'raiicc. Then returning to our Lodgini., wc lent him
next Morning a Flagon of Mihct.hl, and a B<ix of His-
cuits, which was more acceptable to him. The next
Morning he commanded me tocontc tn Court, and to
bring the King's I f nets and my Velhuents and Books

Wc went a^xordingly, lading one Cart with Biskit,

whether I would belfow allthofe things upon hisLuid.
Wc aiifwered, Th.it our humble requclt was, that "»r

Turl^s Son, name Brijcr Suh.m { a valiant Prince, who
fled from his Father to the Sofhy, and had remained in
his Court four Years ) and fent his Head as a i'refem to
his Father.
The lo of \ivemlic: I was fent for to come before the
Sophy, railed S''<!w Tham.!>, and at three in the .'Vhcrnoon
I ramc to the Oiurt, and alighting from my Horfe at the
Court Gate ( beforemy Feet touched the Ground ) a pair
of the J5^/'>'s own Shoes, Inch as he wears when he ri-
fes in the Night to pray (as his Curtom is ) were put
upon my Feet, otherwilc 1 might not be luft'ercd to tread

my Prcfcnts were diltributed to Servants of the Court to
Carry before me, none of my Ccmpany being permitted to
enter into the Court with nie bclidcs my Interpreter.
Thus coming before his Majelty with fuch Reverence as I
tlioughr fit to be ufed, I delner^d the Queens Letter with
niyl'rclcDt, which he accepting, demanded of what
Country of K nnki I was, and what Affairs I had there
todo. I aiifwered, that I was of the famous City of
London, in the noble Realm of /-./.^/.ih,/, and that I was
fcnt thither from the molt excellent and gracious Sove-
raign LaJytVi^iifi/', Queen of the faid Reahn, to treat
of }uenilllii)i and free Pallage tor our Merchants to re-
pair and tratti'k in his Dominions, to brinu our Commo-
diries and carry away iheirs, to the mutual Commodity
of boili Realms. He then demanded 111 what Language
the Letters Were Wiitun i I anlweied, 111 Lttin, Italian,
and Htbiext ^ He repluU, \Yc have none in uut Kealms
impart it to him, who wiote unto the Soplf, that it Aould
not ftaiid with his Ma|cllies Honour, todo meaiiyliarm
ordifpleafure, but rather to entertain me kindly, l>c-
caufe I came into his Dominions of my freewill, and
not by conllraint, whereas if he fliouldule me ill, few
Strangers would refort into his Country, which would be
much to his hindrance, c^f. which after the Soph had
conlidered (nmch efteemingthe faid King of Hircm,
being a vabant Prince and Ins near Kinfman ) hecha.ii^ej
his mind, and on the 20th of hUich lent me a rich Gar-
ment of Cloth of Gold, and fo difmillcd me wuiiout
harm.
While I foioiirned at Caiiiin, fome ln.ii.tn Merchants
told methcy could bring all forts of Spices if they were
lure of vent 1 gave them ciKouragement, and doubt
not but great Ifore may be there provided.

Of the Sine or Fm »i of their Gcvemment,
Their Government is much after the Tur^/y?> ir.in-
ncr, which they feem to imitate by applying all things to
the advantage of the Prince, as near as the Country, and
reach of their Capacities in Politick Affairs will give
them leave to do.
Theirhighelt Counts called the ^^/thnre, that is, the
PMicI;^ AJJemhh. There are prcfent at it, i . the Em-
pcrour ; 2. About 20 of hi! Nobility, who are of his
CoutKil ; ^. Some of the Clergy, about the fame num-
ber. As for the Bwgheii or .my to rcprcfent the Com-
monalty, they have no place there, the People being of
no better account with them than Servants or Slaves, who
are to obey, not to make Laws, nor to know any thing
of pui-'lick matters before they are concluded.
1 he Court is held in this manner. The Empcrour
funnnons fuchof hi.s Nobility as he thinks fit, being, .as
was laid, all of his Council, together with the Patriarch,
whocallcthfuchBifhops, Abbots, and Friars, as are of
belt reput.ation among them.
The Empcrour attended with his Nobility, ij met in
an Ante-chamber by the Clergy, following their Patri-
arch, who bldlcth the Empcrour with his two Fore-fin-
gers, laying them on his Fore-head and the fides of V'«
Face, and then kilfeth him on the right fide of his Pi ■(.

On the lirll of J..'!.' we had no Nij;ht, and on the

On the fifth, one of our Men walking on the Deck,
crye 1 out that hi law Sw.iiis, which we that were under
Deck hearing, i.iiiieup, an.i pirceived that it was Ice
th.U v-ame driving from the great he ip ; at midnight we
failed thro' it, the Sun then about one Degree above the

The lixth weciitrcd into the Ice, which was fo ilrong

keeping our Coiirfe N. N. b.
Tbclcvenrh wc were in the Latitude of t.\ Deg, and

The 1 jth we left the llland, and fiiled Nirtli fome-

The General, hoping for an .'\nfwer to his Letter, ind
hear of his Men, went over to them ; no more th.;n
three appearcil in ligtit, who by figns endeavoured to
train our Boat about a Point of Land from fight of our
Company; but wc fulpedingthcm, kept aloof, and yet
fit one ot our Company aihoar, who took up a great
Bladder which one ( f them had laid down, and leaving
a Lookinggials iiithe place, returned to the Boat. In
the meantiiiieour Men upon thcllland, who could better
dilceiiithan thole in the Boat, made a great out-cry to
our Men in the lloi':, becaufe they faw many Savages
creeping liehind the Rojks towards our Men ; wheicup-
on the General letiirned without tidings of his M«n.
Our Captive inatle figns to us that this Blailder wa<
lint him to keep Water and Driiik m, but wc ratlur ful-

that if they would lay tlieir Weapons alide, and come
forth, we w.iuld deal friendly with them, altlio' we per-
ceived their inteii-. ; but fir all the ligns of Friendllap w"
could make, they came Hill creeping' tow.iidi us from be-
hind the Rocks to get more adianlage of l^, as tho' wc
had no Hyes to fee them. Their Spikes-man eanelUy

brought us a piece of raw Flelh, whidi with our Boat-
hook, we caught into our Bo ir Then one of his Fel-

Sea-fide, and in Inch places v.lerehe feeiiud unable to 3^'; '"'"''J' •'

hoping that one r.f ns would Vi ntiirc aihoar, and not be
afraid to make his part good '.vuh a lame Man ; but the
Genetal fulpectnig titeir trceherj, convraridcd a .Si. uJ-

of A(;i;/7 we plucked down our Tents, and making a Bon-
fire ontop of the Illand, wc gave a Volly of Shot, and fo
departed aboard.
I'he 13d of /}/(?(//? wc fet (all, the Wind at Welf,

had Snow half a Foot deep on the Hatches.
The 19th the Mi'c/j<-f / lolt company of us, and fliaping
her Courfc tovs'ards Oikjicy, arrived at Tvtmuth.
The 3o'li the Mailer and Boatfwain of the C'.i/mV/
'/ere ftriick over-board by the force of the Wind and ,
Surge of the .Sea. The Miller, who was a young Man 'qT",''^
end able Mariner, had been very pleafmt all that Morn- drowiirJi

cart over-board, and that the Boatfwain had him by the
Hand, and could not la-v liiin • which came to pals ac-
cordingly, for the Bca'iwain held h.mbyoncHand, hav-

HI' worllapUil Company of Merchant Ad-
veiitiirti's ot the City ot Brijll^ itiulerftand-
ing that our Soveraigii Lord r/ii/r.- the tirft,
had aneainelt delire to be certified whether
tliire were any I'.atlape, or not, by the North-well iiit,-i
the South Set, liidtit and fet forth a choice, well-condi-
tioned, ftroni-. Ship, called the Urtnirit,: M,vi,i. of the
ftirtlieiiof 70 Tuns, viiftnalled for 1 8 Months.
I W.1S ever of opinion that this Aiflion might be better
etVecled by one Ship than two, heeaufe in tltofe Icy .Seas
(a much fubteit to Togs and Storm.s, they might be ealily
fepai,ited ; and a place iif meetin;; in Uif-overies cannot
liiti ly, or without mmh hindrance bo appointed ;
wherefore I refolved to have but oneShip, the .Ship-boat,
and a Sliallop.
A great Ship ( .is hy former experience 1 had found )
was uiiht to hi; forced thro' the Ice. 1 therefore made
choice of a .Ship of the burthen aforefaid, which the
* arpenters made as fhonp and fcrviccablc as poihbly in
their iinderflanding ihcy could.
The Baker, grcvwer, Butcher, and others, undertake
their Offices upon their Credit:;, knowing it: to be a t»e-
tal buhnefs, and their iiirer undoing if rhey failed in per-
formance j but truly rhey proved themlelvcs Maften ifi
their Arts, .uid have my piaile for their honcft care,
wherein conliited a great part of the perli^rinance of the'
Vovape.
Thcniimherof Men thougiitronvenientto manage this
bulinet's w.as 22, whereof to wcrerhoite able Men, two
Younkers, andmylelf ; vohint.iry Loiterers I difcl.imied
andpuhlilhed 1 would have none but approved able Sea-
men, and unmarried. 'I'he whole Company were ilran-

to me hy worthy Merchants.for their Ahiiity ami I'idelity,
I was fotighr to by divers that had formerly hecnin p la,■es

VV'aui, the forelaid piece of Ice brake wi.h a terrilde
iioife into four pieces, which made me tear ithad fpoilcd
the Ship, it being full half malt high. I made what
halte I could to be fatisficd, where 1 found all well,
God be thanked, an.l -prefently fent away the Boat to
lo'.md the way to a Cove that 1 had found. At her re-
tcrn wcunn-ionicd the Ship, ami warp'd away troni this
terrible lec. We were not a Mile from it when it brake
all to pieces, and we had finely Ijorn it company, ii.id
not Cod been merciful tons. When wc had brought the
Ship to the C-Ovc, we made fait to the Rocks, and 1
Well', alhoar again to lee what I eould difcovcr. I found
it all brckeii rocky Grounds, without Tree, Herb, or
Grafs upon it. I law I'ome Ponds of Water which were
not yit thawed, and tlierefoie not ready for the Fowl.
T found nor aii\ fioting of Deer or Bears in the Snow,
but fiv/ one ir two boxes. We found where the Sava-

Healths, and left fome Five-brands aboui tlieni, with

and of all the relt, we had but five that ^^y.\\\ ca' ol

mitigate. Our I'inn.aee was 111 an inditl'ercnt foiwaidnefs,

enough t.) open theSiams of any new and loimd Veil J,
elpcciallyol one that had lain fo long upon ihc Croi.nd
as Ihe had done. Al'tei nutcli arguing, I iM'uivcd upon
thisCouile, that with the tirit warm weather we would
begin roilearthe Ship: In the next |4acc, we looked
to itiofe Tools weh.id toiligtiiclccout of her; we had
out two Iron Hats (the relt being funk in the Sivp ) and
<;neol them was broken to. We fitted tliofe h.i'is, aii.l
tour broken Shovels, wdierewith we iniendci (as after
we did; to dig the Ice out of lier, and lay it upon a
hcajMiponthe I ar-board-bovc, and to link down tic
Ice lo tali to the Cround, that it migli: be a Br.r.i.,-..! lo
us when the Ice lliould bre:ik up, w In, h we feared would
tear us allto pieces.
The 6th was the deeped ,Smw we had all this 'W.ir • It

Our Spring w.Xi harder I'rozi n than it had been ali the Year V

the next day we got up and ,arried .iboard.
The iStli, I pur thcni to digd.oun lino' the Ice nc.u
the place where we thought out Rudder might be ; they
digged dov.n and ca.ne to water, but eould not fin.l it.
Wc feared It might be faiided, or that the Ice might hi. c
carried it awa'. the lali year. If we amid not reiover i-.
by digging before the Ice IlioiiM break up, there w.iuld be
little hope of it.
1 he lyth, we t' ntimied our nuning woik aboaul ii;c

vigators ; we are told, that between tlic r<ofkk.i, nay,

tieie 111 Knil.w.l m Summertime. Wliv may it not iheti
ieas warm umki the Pole.as here or at '.hmifr.ljm in ths
Suiiinicr time ? The final! height tlie Sun hath there, can
be no Fweption ; for then We having the Sun in its .Sum-
mer Sohtn e in jeller Altitude th.iii txtween the Tro-
pieks. It mult needs he much colder here, which is cou-
iradidled. But one Keafon why it is av warm here as
between the Tropuks, is, becaiitc between the Tro-
pieks, ihe Sun remains farce above 11 hours of 14 a-
1)01 e iheHo.izon to warm it, when as lure it remains
aliiioft 17 hours nl 14 above the Hirizoii, anil there-
Ion- leaves a greaier imprellion of lieat i.pon it ; and the
faitlier Northward we go, the longer it remains alxive
the Horizon, and leK under the Horizon ivery 24 hours,
till we uinie within the ArC>ick Circle, where the Sun
remains tir lialf a year together, 11^. all the Suninici
.above the Horiron, and never lets : And ilierefore tho'
his Beams are not lo perpcndiailar, yet ihcy mutt needi
i.iufe a great degree ot heat upon the Horizon.
And if It lie argued that it is lo cold about tVwn/rfny,
."^v. and the Seas fo full of I, e, tliat Ships can hardly
laiJ lor It ; yet cannot that Argument prove that it is fo a-
bout the /'o/f : became the Ice is made about Ihoars of
1 and, but never in open Sea, anvl comes there only by
ftreiigth of Currents, orhigh Winds, which do indeed
carry it fomefinalldiltanre fioni the Ihoar. But. as this
Relator laid, there is under the I'cle a free and open Sc.i,
i?c. and confequently loid of Ice, in .Summer time at
lealt. Befides, hxpcricnce tells us, that all Land-briezes
are colder than thole that come from ,Sea, and therefore
It may be cold about (/iff iiZ/rurf, becaufcof the Land, and
yet warm uiulet the I'cle, where thcSea is open, iic
Thi third Objection is, that it' they were under the
l''Ai\ they could not tell liow to comeback, bccaufeot
the inJilferency ihe Seedlr Ihuuid bear to every point
ot the Horixoii.
1 examined not my Relator upon this Argument, tho"
when I was parted fron-. him, I was forry I diii not. Bui
It is eafy to apprehend how to guide a Ship, either for-
ward or backward by an Obl'ervatiou of the Sun, a lit-
tle before you enter the /'..'.■ ; for bv finding in ct neat
what Meridian it is, oi upon, wlut part of the Ship it
bears-, whether on Head or Stern, or Starboard or I.ai-
lipard, yoa may inealurc Time near enough with a
(ilals, to know feveraldavs after, in or near what Meridi-
an the Sun is at any known or eltimatt time, and confe
ijuemly know liow to (irotecd forcwaids, or come back
with youi Ship : or it the Moon have North Latitude,
you m.iy do the lame by the Moon. But if the Pole
were Tiaded, in ihon time it might be found by Vari-
ation of the \ecdtr, for there is doubtlefs Variation in it,
and in all the Mciidi.ins about k, fevcral Variations.
Thus far it appears there is a free and open Sea in

Ill the River Oronoco arc Various Iflands, particularly
in the inidit of it a pretty big one, and fomewhat moun-

This River Vbra if >oii fland to the South-welt ) leads
to that part of the I'roviiice ai Arimnijo which is call'd
Erec^ood.mc ; 't;s a b.iiren mountainous Country, they
hive neither Gni/.n-llncit uor CtiJ].wi, but Kc«i/cH, Hrjj

Th, Auilnii'v 'Twas reported to our Author by the Uiiinns, that
''.i.'-'i'h- ''"-'t*-' ^^'-i' {on tile North of I'fru ) a way to enter the
kviK/r.i;" ^iverOioHwi, vvhieh liniination encourag'd him to at-
.-j f,«. tempt the dilovery of a Rilfage from that River to Peru.
In this Atieii.pt (he tells us) he was driven by a Storm
into a River which hi, h,it'.<vi Pilots call'd Sntmr., in
wh.ih after he had been for three days, he enter'd the
great River of I'l-.pemeiui, winch is at lead fix leagues
. broad : From hence he came to the Iweet and pleafant
„ mt'jif,'™ Illandof Wf/ «', a Spot lo delightful and in fo benign
«r.inj,/. and tem| irate a Climate, that he profclfcs he could wil-
lingly have Ipent the remainder of his days there :
There's abundance of tine frclli Rivers, and thole well
ftock'd with Fill] ; there arc Fowls and other Animals for
Food. In the Woods (which are very numerous) you
have delicate Fruits all the Year round. Cotton, Balfain,
Ht.iii.e, Lignum 'jit.e, and Cyprels-trces. The Soil pro-
imfes IVlctals, nay, tome forts of Ore he did find in di\ ers
places ; the Rivers too alfbrd fine Stones, but for want
of Skill he dares not warrant the goodncfs and valuable-
nels of 'em.
This lovely Illand is but fiiiall, and it has no Inhabi-
tants, which (he fays) is upon the account of the iicigh-
Lourhood of the Cn'ilies, a rude fort of Savages, within
whofc reach People are afraid of living.
From hence he return'd to the River of Oronoco again,
bccaufc he found his labour loll, and 'cwu impollible to
R.y. T'irj.
ii.eniif he left tli.'it of Smmr, m-i came a nr,i li more il.-'i o-i'i;:'-

gone, tho' their Houles fuH'er'd for 'cm, and were burn:

yet at a full Sea you Ihall have i.j & 1 ^ foot Water, and
in the Chanel where the Canoes enter (and which is but
narrow) there is better than lix fathom. This H,i/imc- is
certainly the bcft and furcit Harbour for our Ships in nil

and here 'twas that tluy began to open themilei.ahlccafe
their poor Companions were in at the dcfolate Illand ;
and as foim as ever they had recovcr'd ftrength enough
to uiidenakc the |oiiri)cy and lliew the way, the Sp.i-
iii.tiis and li,.ii.ms went along with em, and carried
Provilions for thofe poor Men : Providence had difpos'd

The Fown they went from was call'd Corn, and the

many Recommendations i!icy had to the chief of the
City would in all probability h-ive procur'd a very good

were immediately tlapt \ip in Prilon, and in no fiiiall'''^''
danger of being condemn'd to the Oallies, had no' the
mcc.,,tion and kiiidncfs of one conliderable man prevent-
ed that ; and by his means alfo thi y were conltantly
fiipply'd with good Provilions all the /hiletliey lay there,

piece of Formality than any thine elfc,. fur the Teuiente
himfelf, at their delivery out of^Prifon, did give them
their Liberty. And now they were only to Ipend their
time in making much of thcmfebes, till the GaKons
were ready to fail for 5.M<n, with whom they were to po.
One of the generous Spitnijrdi carried 'em down to his
Country-houle, and treated 'cm in a manner more like
Noblemen than jioOi common Sailors ; then the Uonsand

a great deal ot Art and Care that thofe feeble and fick

A brief Account of the Country and Tcople about the Riier of the
Amazons ; by William Davis 'Barber-Chyrurgeon c/ Lon-
don, ivho iivd there fome time.
THIS Country (the Relatcr tells us) isextieam
ly full both of Woods and Rivers, as alfo of
Lakes and Pools fo that the Inh.ibitantsate far
enough from any danger of wanting thole two great con-
veniences of life Wood and Water ; the Woods abound
with all forts of wild Beads, and there's plenty of good
wild Fowl in 'cm too; but P.vrot<, he lays, are more
common there than Pij^c:ni in Ix^Utid, and he commends
'cm for as good Meat : The Waters, both the running
and (landing ones, afford as much Filli ; but there are fo
many ('icir..ii:r!, /■\lligr.t:rs, and l-f'.ite'-f-ifieins, thatthofc
who frequent 'em for that Sport muft always be upon
their guard.
The Country is very fub'eO toy' dent Rains,Thunder
antl Lightning, and thofe Storms, as they are very fre-
cjucnt, fo they commonly hold lixfcu or eighteen hours
of the twenty four. But the worit Pcrfecution to Stran-
gers that con-.e hither is that of the Mmkitofi or Flies ;
thefe importunate Animals will be continually hovering
about a Man and fucking his Blood, let him do alinolt
what he ean to defend hiinlelf; and 'tis to be fuppos'd
the .\uthor futfcr'd pretty c.^n^lderably under this perfe-
cution, becaufe be leems to fpcak fomething feelingly of
the matter.
There are abundance of petty Kings about this great
River and the vanous liranchcs of it ; they have their
I'everal Kivers to themfeltes, which confine their Terri-
tories and Power, and upon which they very ofieii tight
one with another ; 'tis upon the W.atcr that they decide
moll of ilieir Qu.irrels. and he th.it's overcome is not
thrown out of his Canoe ti feed the Filhcs, but lervcs
for a princi['al Dilli at the T.ableof the Conqueror, the
viiiforious King ea',s up him his Arms have fiibdued, and
buries him in his own Royal Belly ; notwiihllanding
which one is bound to belieu-, th.it the honour of kich
a Sepulchre js no temptation to any man to be over-
come. The Enfigns of Majcfty here are a Crown of
Parrots Feathers, a Ciiain of Lyons Teeth or Claws hung
about tlie Neck or the Middle, and a wooden Su^rd m
the H.and; he that appears thus adorn'd is thereby known
to be a King
The People go ( both Men and Women ' as n.aked as
they came into tlie World, thev wear their Hair Jong,
but the Men have it pluck'd oif on the crown, which is
all that can be call'd Faihion rel.ating to them: .As for
the Women, they have none at all," but tlitit Hair and
Brcafts are both fo long, that 'tis a i]ue(tion whi,;h of the.
two arc longeft. The Men wear little Canes thrulttluo'
the foreskin ofthc I'luhnJ^, as alfo thro tlicir Ears and
lower Lips ; at the bridge of the Nofe they fallen ImaTl
glafs Beads or Buttons, which hanging down direiftly
before their Mouths, bob to and fro as thev fpcak, and
in this pretty motion they take not a little pride and
pleafute : But as foolilh as they are in this rel'pcd, they
are crafty and ingenious enough in others ; tlicy are hor-
rid trca.:heroiis too, light of Finger as well as light of
Foot , they are very dexterous it lliooiing, and kill not
only Beallsand Fowl, but even the Fillies too in the Wa-
ter with their Arrows ; as focn as thev have Ifriiek aFilh
they prefeinly throw down their Bows and leap into the
Water to catch himi this Weapon is nnJe ot o. -/^r-

IcKes with iiiakmg Oil of their Olives, but think 11
much better to eat the Fruit it felf; neither do the,?/i/i-

with the Oil they bring from i";i.n),. Llie Grapes grow

but they don't thrive any wlieru fo well as ;n I'du ; nei-
ther do they make any <]uantities of Wine comparable to
what is m.ide in that Country. Tiietiuih is, the Grapes p,,,
don't ripen fo kindly, thecxceliiM Rams tliat fall keep w"
them Iroiu coming to that petfeiitiun and maturity that
Wine requires ; and therefore ihe; bring Wine from

thole Countries in this cafe. The V'mes ol P.-'h are*''
commonly in very hot Vallc\s, where there are Waters'''"
running along for the refrellunent of them ; and they
are Ion d to make ule ot' that 10 water their \'ines, tor
the FIcavens there atbrd no Rain. But yet there arc
fome places, where the Vines are neither watered by the
Cloiidsiior from thcRivers, and for all that they briiiK

Reader. C' hiniir, tho' not a Vegetable, or part of a
Vc'/ctable it fell", yet bcinw, a tort of an Appendix to a
Vegetable, may 1 c nicniion'd here likewife. Thole In-
fu'ls which we give this name to (tor f. ., mile is no other!
than a dried Inieiif) are found breeding in great niiiii-!
bers upon the leaves ot one ot the kinds ol the 'iiin,il-
iices ; that Tree, 'tis true, bears no Fruit of its own, but
the Cochiuiie is fo valuable a one that tho Tree is cx-
fus'd, and not only to, but mightily pri/'d, tho' other-
wile barren. Silk is an Animal produ-ttion too, but the
Atulborry-trces (that maintain tholo iileful little Ani-
mals that make it) will allow it .1 place here. Origi-
nally there were no Mulberry-trees 111 the lnj.'ci, and
confeqiieiitly no Silk-worms nor Silk, but the S^i.ihi.i ./j
fettling here, brcught rhcfe out of liuropc, where they
thrive iiuomparably well ; they make abundance of
pood Fati'ai.i'siii theCo'.mtry, but in //u'/.'.i's tune were
not come to the making ot either Uaaia.sks, Sattins or
Velvets.
We Ihall not trouble the Reader with a Ion;; v'^ataloguc
of Names of other fort of Trees, after we ha».. been
thus loni> upon the more ufelul ones, wilnch by their
Fruit, or fome prodiultion or other, are feri iceable to
the NeceHitics of Mankind. Oaks, Cedars, I'lncs, Fins,
Palms, Lbeny, arc the moH common and well-known,
as well as the inort profitable ones cf thj: Country, fcr
all the ufes of l.ite. Flic M'//f is a Tree from whence
the hhti.vis ihaw a fort of Wine ; it came originally
from Pciii, and it has the name of the I'lruvinn-ira: at
AJ' .vrv, but they do much bettor there than in their own
native Country, ll mayn't he .aunts here to take notice
of a vartly great Cedar (as 'tw.is reported to be) about
^ leagues from Gujy.K.t in .Vi-if i'/iii/u ; this Tree was
Itruck witlil ightniiigfromtop toliottoni, andfoftram-'-
iy too, that twas by that means allhoUow'd in the .n-
liJe. Being mealur'd within, it was tound to be 9 fa-
thom in circumference, and without, near the Root, it
W.IS letathom, and a little higher 11. The People of
the Country fay, th.at before the Lightning ihatter'd ir,
it was able to llieltcr looo Men, vvho niigli: very well
itaiid under the Ihadow of it ; and 'tis ( ctty certain
that they did life to come and dance, and perform feve-
r.-il of their fupcrlliiious Ccrcmonicb under it. All th:it|
ruiiaiiisof 11 iKnv bclidcs the ftock, is only foineof the
Rreat branches, which renew their verdure with the]
Spring ftill, and Ihew fuiiiething (tho' but very little) of
the ancient beauty and inajefty of the Tree. 'l hofe thatj
think this ftiange, may remember vih^i Pliny reports of.
fthe Plaiitanc-trce of /././i.i, the hollow of which was^
8 1 foot, its vail boughs made it appear more like a Wood
thanoncTree, and the llmdow ot it cover'd a great part
of tlie Field where it Itood.
But we fliall quit this Difcourfe of the Trees, and
take a fliori view of the Sjiices, Gums, and other valu-
able and ufelul Drugs, "lis true thisSoil is not fo hap-
py as to produce the noble Spices ot Cloves, Cinnamon
and Nutmegs ; niltlicr is Ginger natural to it, tho' v«ll
quantities of that Spice have Ikcu tranlported from fome
Parts ofthc /l'iy/-lw./iij intoSpnin, particularly from llij-
fr.nio!/!, whither it was firll brought from the /;'.{/?- /h.//.v,
and »\ here it thrives fo well, that it grew to be an in-
tum'irance at bit. But the uaiutal Spicc of the H'cjl-
liMi:i is a fort of Pepper which they call /Ixi, and is
ufed generally all over the Country ; it grows in the hot-
telt Valleys, and is of fevcral Ions, fome green, lome
red, fome yellow and of a burning coloiu, which litter
thty call C.uih, and is extremely hot and buiiig. Theie
is indeed a fort which i^nor at all ilifplealing t.-i the t.iDe,

Arinv afptar'd move like a Conipar.y of Stai'.c-playcrs

nude a Hand in the middle oF the Street ; he was lari yd
upon Mens Ib.oidders 111 a molt Majeftick Seat of Gold,
andWa\inj; not a little degree ot Majelly and Coiiicliiiefs
in his own I'crioii, ihat and his Ornaments together
made him appear like the I'riiv-e he was.
As fuou as the Inca ftopt, (whieh 'tis to be fuppos'd was

the F'riar I'm:. >::, wiih a Crofs in one Hand, and a Bre-

' migh: fend Godly Men thither to pre.i.:h the moft Holy
' Gol'pel, and turn the Infidels froai their Errois and
' Molatroiis Worlhip. And that the rtince might iin-
ilerlland his icnrs and know what Gofpel, Pt'pe, and
Idolatry meant, the br.ar converted lis Oration into a
Sermon, and r.ni ovi rail rhe l-nn.!aii'cr.ta!s ol Reli-

vernor. They fet Sail from the Haven ot St. /-Hcur ot
Bnn.iiiie.i:, with full Power to conquer all the Country
from the River of I'.ilmrs to the C^ape of FliriJ.i. Stay-
ing at the Illand of Cut'.'. I'ome tunc for a Recruit of theu
Provilions, they met with a Teiupcft there that extreme-
ly dairiag'd their Fleet, and funk two ot the Ships. The
Wind at that time was outragious and violent to the
lalt degree, and did no Icfs milchief at Land than it ilid
at Sea. It blew down Hollies and Churches; and un-
lets 7 or S Men wen; togciher, holding fait b^' one ano-
ther, there wj , no liaiiding agaiiilt the tirength ot it, a
lin;.;le Mm cou'd not keep npoii his Legs. Thole that
lett their Houfts liir liar of being buried m the Rumes
of them, w. le in as iiiuch danger in the Woods with
the contiiuial cracking and falling of the Trees. T he
lollcs they liiliaiii'd by tlin Tempelt, together with the
toil and latigue it pm them to, obliged them to continue
here and retrelh theiiileKts fui the I'paccof fo'iic Months ;
after which they ino.ecded in their Voyage towards
llmid-., with four Ships and one Brigancine, in whidi
were about 400 Men and So Horfes. In this Coiirte
they nut with datigirs not iiiikh mferiour to the former,
being like on e to periili all together by running on the
Sands, and at another time by a raging Tempett ; tho'
at lall, without any farther lotfes, liiey came up with
the Coall of t'torUa, and anchot'd 111 the msuih of a
fair open Road. The Governor N'.i)tvif^, with Ibmc
others, went alliorc to the /';.i;'<iij Town that was near,
and took pollellion of the fame in the King of Sp.tin's
Name ; which they might very well do, without any
manner of oppolition or diftiirbance, lor the Indii-.m were
all gone out in their Canoes the .Night befi e, They
coaited about the Gulph fome 4 Leagues, and then found
tome liiMfihs who brought them to then VilLige, which
w.is at the head of the Giilph ; and here they found
Pieces of Cloth, tuch as comes from //<// 1'""..., great
Sf,iiii/h Cketts, in every one of which w.is the Body of a
dead Man cover'd wiih Dcers-skins, together with lomc
tragmeiits of Gold. The .S',m«m .a were molt inquili-
tive about the latter of thefe things, how, and where
they gout; and the liiJi.:>ii gave them to undcrttand,
by ligns and words, chat it came fiom a far diltam Pro-
vince lall'd ///>^.'.1i/..h, where ihey might find great quan-
tities ot the fame. And 'twas not long alter that 'iV<j - ' ,^1;. "^"
x'.i.'^ began to let out with his Company for the Icarch of
this golden Country. They tra^ell'd 15 d.iys without
the light of Man, Bealt, or Houl'o, meeting in all that
Wa) with no tort of Provilion neither but a few Dates.
Ac lalt a Party of Iod fnr/i.uu prclcnteil thcnifelves to
their view, but made ligns to them th.it they iJiou'd
join their Company to thciis, and go with them to
their ViUagCi ; and the Spanijitis, who wanted ictrclh-
ment, wetc willing enough to agree to.
After a little inquiry into the Country that lay to the
Sea, they continued their march towards Apnlachm, and
in their Journey a certain Cacique came to pay them .i
Vilic in his bell attire, (as 'tis to be fuppos'd) which was

' ' befides tlie Wiiiieniow coniipi; on, the Rivers were lb
eovir'd with Swans, (>crfe, Diwks and Cranes, and fo
many forts of Game were ti be had in the Woods, iiat
the Mutineers, who fcafled tlicii Carkalfesro (r-isfadion
hire, began to lay afidc all thoughts of their ownCoun-
As for Captain Simiij\ misfortune, it was thus ; He
went out upon the Dil'overy of the Chkk\''i:»'i'ic River,
and haMiip g.ine as far as he r on'd go in his Barge, he
(jaitted that, and went on in a Canoe, having only two
or three Ji/;^',' //.■»«.'», and as many Savages, we.h him.
His Men tli.i' find with ihe Barge went (liimc of them)
alhore, eoirrary to his e;: pi el's Orders, and one of them
being fiiapt bv a I'arty of ,Sava;;es, they fi;re'd him to tell
where his Malter (.apraiii Sm.(/) was gone, and iiniiie-
diately they marih'd after him. to the number of three
hundred Men, under the co'iimand ot Optchmkc^mufh
the King of l'.i>n.iiiul{~. And tlio' 'twas his ill fortune to
be found out by them, anil i-mfequcntly alfaulted, yet
be red )!v'd to leil his Life as dear as was polFible, and
in purfuanoc of that refolut.on dealt his Uullets fo freely
■fimoiigll them, that he kill'd three 111 a little time, and
made all the rett keep their dillaiiee. They follow'd
him ill the mean while with their Arrows, and the Cap-
tain wanting a Target to defend himlelf, tied one of
the Savages, tha: .amein the Canoe with him, on to his
Ann, and lo niadc u:e of him to guard his own Body
from their Arrows. In this m iiiiitr he cndeavouv'd to
make his reireat to the Canoe, bur keeping his Bye
more upon his F.neniies than upon his Way, he happen-
ed 10 llip iii'.o a fort of a Qjiagg, and as the Saiage and
be were now very i lofc together, he puli d him in along
wirli him, and there they both flood nptothe WaAe in
Mud and \^'atci . The others did not dare to eome near
hun till he had ti'.rowii away his Arms, whieh he did,
when he had ilaid fo long that he was almolt dead with
cold. So at lalt:, when they had compounded '.he nut-
ter, the Savages pull'd him out. and carried him to a
fire, where they rubb'd and ehaf d his benunim'd Limbs,
and recover d his vital Warmth that the cold Quagmire
had coniidcrably abated. His Men wore all kill'd. and.
he himfelf was going the lame way, being bound to a
Tree, and the Arrows of the Savages ready mounted up-
on the String to let flv at his Breafl : But in the very
interim the King forbad it bv a fign to the contrary,
which (igii was the Idling up a little Compafs-Uial
which the Captain had given him jull befjre. Lhc Sa-
vages wondrcd extremely at tlie playing about ot the
Needle m the Box ; and th? nioie, bccaule they cou'd
fee It moie through tlu Cilal's that covcr'd it, but toii'J
not come to tnueh u with tlicit fingers. But 'lis not lalic
tp cxptefj their admiration, when the Captain cxplaiii'il
fonicthing of the Uies of it to them, .mil launch d out
into a tort of Cnlmograplue^l I.cihire ; this Uifronrii;
knock 'd them all in the head, and they gap'd and ftar'd
like Men that had ConvuHions in their faeej. After hc
this they led him away with .ill the .Savage Triiunpli </'■
imaginable to Vy>fix' ; the King marth'd in rhe niidille,
having the Muskets and Swords, taken in this action,
carried befare him as fo many honourable Trophei - of
his Viitnry. The Captain came next him, Unii', l.d
aloni" by three arcat 1 ubteis, and a i;u3rd of fl-wmeii
iJii earh hand ot him. When • hey hail br< ueht hun to
0"/.i.v, the Women and CluMren came tlaiing al out
h"m with as much er.nieltivfs is if he had been fume
Monttcr, which when ihey h.ui their tillctl, preparat onj

This was a fort of Thanklgiv iiig fot the great Viiilory

I Early 111 the Morning a great fire was made in a h-ng gir.nRc
Room, and a Mar fprcad on eaeh lidc, on one of which Cuilon-;

gether Tail to Tail upon the iro\' ,1 of his Head, but
'jcfides all this, the pretty Image had a Coronet of Fea-
therstoo, and a Rattle in his Hand. ThevrKcaiiJ

b iliiicfs IS, how did the King cnme to know, or what
made him think, that Captain y»n.'.-/-' had been us'd to

to lr:ive the;n n fo good ^ condition, cou'd ever per-
fwad- ihem into any' lolt :cjd kind thoughts of him, or

iVtyjiaiil- Hewas iiofi^oncr gone, but all thofc turbulent People,

""""'■• whom he had any svav chartisdfor their Infolencies,
and who nov; had lull liberty to invent whatc\er Scan-
dals they wou'd, and hvcar to all tliey invented. Then;
were as many levcralStotii's told of him, as there w<"re
Perfons that envied and maligned him, and the degrees
of their Malirnitv were very secll difcovei'd by the
magnitude cf tlieit lyes One fii.i this, and another
that, and .> third anntliev rhing : and fo they had their
S.iys all round. As tiir thofe wli.ile Inventicis were dull,
and they I 'd not Scncc enougluo i atch up a plaulible
Story thenilelves. the pood Council htlp'd tlvm out at
a dead hit, and advni'd them what they ihould Swear.
IbcShips waited upon tlicm all thii tunc, while they
were laying their Accufitions together, tor they were
ready to lad back to l-r^u„.i betoie, but they were com-
pcU'd to Itay till the Wiinelfes were all furnifh'd, that
they might go and I'Ibiy Captain .Vmi,-/i's crimes to his

when green they eat much like our Bullafes. The icftves

to find thofe places out ; but then thofc places are fo
well tijriifyM, that if an Enemy Ihou'd light of them,

Under tlie Mould, fome two or three foot deep, lies a

playing hard by thcni every uay.
1 lie r bi^liiiefs now was to make (ome Uilcovery of
; t!'-e Conitry, ar.d rind out a coiiveniint place tofcatthtm-
liivci m i .tikI in order to this, they made fe>eial At-

tint ,oii:iited I t about 16 Men well ann'd, who ijiii.kly
faw (l-.me of theN.itives, b-.itthey run away from tlu-in,
an.! h.d tliciiilebes in the Woods, while the V.'giijh lol-
li^'s'd ilicm from one Thicket to another, and endea-
voiir'd to trace them throi;(;li Valleyi and over Hills, but
CO I'd r.eitlict overtake them, nor light of any of then
I l.ibitaiioiis. They f .und indeed in thisRaniblea great
deal I f gtouiid ht for the I'iow, and feseral Fields where
Corn h.id acfuallv been town ; alio fome of the li. iu:n
.Sciiiilclues, vsliuli were certam heaps of band coier'd
o\erwi'h Mats, and had Bosvs and Arrows binied in
tbcii., ! tit they did not deface them much, for fear of
;nfi.inri: ; the Names. In another of thefei'/ici 'i they
fi iind a good tiinntiry of hi.ii.in Corn, part of whiih
they brought aw.iy f.r .Seed, intending to pay the Na-
tivis wliin the S-il paid tlicm. btrawbirries and Wall-
n '. thiy met with great plenty of, and foinc Vines.
'J here were fome marks a!lo of Chriitianst' .t had been
there before, as a. Ship-kettle in tile remainders of an old
H. ulc, and the Ruins of a For:, which to be fure was
net built by the Savages; their Fortihcations (ot Polls
^mistakes knock'd into the giotind) arc as ealic to be
known troni the Euiopcw, as then rudcHoules ot Leases
an.l Mats Irom the ethers rf Brick and Stone. The
next time 14 were difpatched in the Shallop, to make a
farther Di'cosery of the Country and the Rivers. Thofe
tint v.eve ian.ied learched about, but cou'd find no Peo-
ple ; yit ihcy light upon foinc ijuantitics of Wheat,
Ileitis ar. ! Oil, which the fu./i'.iHj had buned, and llood
' the Revivers in very pood Head. Happening alfo upon
fome more 1 f thofe ( iraMS but now mention d, they rc-
f/n d 'o dig up one of ti.eir. which appear'd much lar-
per than the rclt : The ouiliJe covering was Boardj, un-
der w.'i.Ji was a Mat ; iveyt to that were Bowls. Tiays,
D.lhcs, and then another Mat, nndi r which was a Board
au'»r three ,]iiarters long, hivb. painted and carved.
To tliLs fill' ceded another Mat, under which were two
B n.ib s tliir pr. iiiis'd f-mieihinc, lurre curie us. The
f.rca" rot ihc.e Bundles being opcn'd, difcover'd a large
i^ua.it.ty ot a very hue and pirt'cCtly red powder, (of^a
iiroiig, b..t no litienli.e Ihicll and in this were the Bones
aii.i ")Kull ot a Man, the latter of which had line yellow
hait ftill iipnn it, and lomc of the fielli unconfuni'd. To-
gether with thele Relicks, was made I'p in the lame
Bundle a Knife, a I'acknecdie, and 2 or 5 old Iron
tliingi, and all was pack'd up in a Sailors CaiualsCaf-
(ock, and a pair of Cloth Breeches. In the leU Bundle
there w.is the fame fort of powder, nndihi Head and
Bones ot a Child ; abounhe Leg', ami other I'arts of
which, were Strings and Chains of white Bead^, and by
it was laid a B iw about three quarters long, with fomt
other odd Nicknacl.s. Our Men c luiniiing ti.e.r
Search, found fcveial Graves nioic, but no more Ccrn.
But It was the luck of lonie tf them to fall in wirti two injhMniitt
or three of the !•,,/.,-:« Houfes ; th-- Kcl>« were there in-
deed, b.t the Birds were fled, fo that the I'.y^hjh weic
at liberty to take and look what and where they plras'd.
Ihefe Houfes were made of vcung render frees bent
down Arbour-wife, iwA covci'd from top loboitoni with
thick and well-wrought Mats. The Doors were about
a Yard high, and made only of Mat ; the Chimneys
were wide holes I' ft open at top, to be cover d with
Mats when tiiey pleas'd. M\ wa^ as warm and clofe as
coud be, for the Houfes were not only Matted 111 the
oiitiide, but in the iiilide aifo. In the niidlf of tliem
were lour little Stakes knovk'd iiro the prMiinl, with
Sticks laid aciofs tlum, upon which tliry lii r.g their
Pots IhiirBcdj were fo nianv Mats ijread round
I about the Fiie place ; lor as the Fire kiej s them warm
in the Day, lo iiS a Princip'i* with thnn to kiep iliat

I The other things the Hoiif s afforded were Corn, fonic
jlbrtsof Seed, Proviliciii, and tin. like; f me of the bell
of thele they took away, intending (as bef re} to pay
I their Debts another time when diey wcrcablc.
The third Attempt they made i pen a D.fcovery was
with their Shallop again. Now they happen'd to have
a light of fome li.d..tni, who wou'd not ci me t.ear them, ^
tiorflav till they came near, but run away and Ihcltcrd
thcnilelvcs in the Woods.
Another large Bury ing-placc was the itiofi confidcrable More Grivn
thing that entertain"el them in this Ramble ; tii« Graves
here were more lumpiuous than thofe they faw before,
and the whole ground was enci mpafs'd with a Pallifadof,
but they did not Itand to enquire into the tontents of
them, bit left the Bones to their repofc.
One Night while they were out, the Indlr.ns came in /\(T,„;,t,] (,„

time lo many I !i tiles weie built, that it iniftht I c eali d
a Intie Town, the Savages began t^i make Viliis to them.
And hrif of ail came one .Savage alne, inarelung bold-
ly into the .Street, and laliitc.l the /ii/i;////' in their own
"'""' J angii.ige, bidding them welc.ne into the Country.
He was one of the Sai;ai>iores or Lords of the Moi.ii,f.ti,ti<\
.1 Country .ibmit ', dajs jourmy by Land Iroiii tbeir
Town ; he had comcrs'd amonglt the I >i;i'i/l' that had
com-' thither, and wa'^ a IVifoii of a free ealie Caiiiage
NotwiihiKinding his (Savage) Dignity, he was as naked
as the Child jiili liorn, cxecpting only lii> Wallc that
was covei'd with a I eatlitr ; he wis a tall llrait Man,
with long bla<.k hair, (but no Beard) and came Soldier-
like with lis Dow and .'Xirows in his hand. The /:h^/.//.'
tieatcd him with good ViCluals and ftrong I.iijuois,
wIikIi made hmi like their company fiv^ell, that he did
(•,,,,,iihf not care to leave it. He inform'd them, that the place
hiiiAt N<i» where they were feated wasealfd l'Mii\.-t by the ln.ii.mi,
wihciiUi ^iij jj^^j ^|] |[^^. t',,riiKr Inhabitants were dead of a
I'lague , lo that by thii account, it Icems the Englijh dil-
pDllcfs'd no body.
1 hcv dibiulVd him at lalt wi.h fome Prcfent,;, winch
pleas d him fo far, tlui he came again quickly after, and
brought i or 6 more along with him. Thefe had Deer-
skins on, and the chief ot them a wild Cats-skin upon
his arm ; mull of them too had a fori of long Holt- that
iea.h'd up to their very Ciroins, and pieces of Leather
wiapt about ihcir Wades. Their Inir hung long behind,
and was cut Ihort iK'tore much like his that came tirll j
only this ditfercncc, that fome of thefc had it trulVd up
with feathers, and after fcvctal other aniick falhions.
They were of a dark complexion like the ICir^liJh i'ny-
fies, and were very tall proper Men. Thcfe eat and
drunk very freely with the li"^ if', and to make them
amends for their kindnels, cmcrtain'd them with fome
of their hiJi.vi Dances.

fir, rtrfl of all, to fend fome other IVrlbn to Ipcak with
lum, and know his mind, and accordingly dilpatcliM one
Mr. ^/l«/.' w with a few Toys (I'rtfents) for the King
and his Brother. Mi//<i/o>f receiv'd theMelfeiiger civilly,
and liking the Propofals he ma ic of Peace and Fiund-

7.i'»i"Jof l-i)ini.w.t'i Allies, he march d on to go nieet the
GoNcrno'ir, leaving Mr. il' ,' w in the Cultody cf his
Brother ^[^1 hlr.jHiN.i, and giving a fuffu lent number of
Hoftages lor liisSe. iirity. He came toward; the Town
with 2oMenonlv, and thole unarm'd, and was met by
the Way by Captain Hr.n..: )>• (the chief Manager of the
Military Aftiirs w.tli a File of Mulipieteers. 'I'liey

The Goveniour came m with a Drum and Trumpet

havinr. once fet the Pot to his Nofe, drunk fuch a fwin-

'Lhe next thing was tu enter upon a Tieaiy, wliiih

that It did n It kill her was pla n, by her coming .itter-
