THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



arrivall, comming from the Queenes Majestie, and how 

 that for my safe conduct to the Court he had sent 

 foure Captaines and an hundred souldiers well appointed, 

 with a horse furnished which he used himselfe to ride 

 on with all other furniture accordingly : they wished 

 mee also to come on lande in the best order I could, 

 as well for my selfe as my men, which I did, having 

 to the number of tenne men, whereof three were 

 trumpetters. 



The ships being foure appointed themselves in the 

 best order they could for the best shew, and shot off 

 all their ordinance to the value of twentie Markes in 

 powder. 



At my comming a shoare, I found all the souldiers 

 well appointed on horsebacke, the Captaines and the 

 Governour of the towne standing as neere the water 

 side as they could, with a Jennet of the kings, and 

 received mee from the boate declaring how glad his 

 Majestie was of my safe arrivall, comming from the 

 Queenes Majestie my Mistresse, and that hee had sent 

 them to attend upon me, it being his pleasure that I 

 should tarie there on shoare five or sixe dayes for my 

 refreshing. 



So being mounted upon the Jennet, they conducted 

 mee through the Towne into a faire fielde upon the 

 Sea-side where was a tent provided for mee, and all the 

 ground spread with Turkie carpets, and the Castle 

 discharged a peale of ordinance, and all things necessarie 

 were brought into my tent, where I both tooke my 

 table and lodging, and had other convenient tents for 

 my servants. 



The souldiers environed the tents, and watched about 

 us day and night as long as I lay there, although I 

 sought my speedier dispatch. 



On the Wednesday towards night, I tooke my horse 

 and traveiled ten miles to the first place of water that 

 we could finde, and there pitched our tents till the 

 next morning, and so traveiled till ten of the clocke,
