THE PORTUGAL VOYAGE a.d. 



1589. 



day we remained there, the Generals company of horses 



were unshipped. 



The Generals there fully resolved, that the Armie 

 should march over land to Lisbone under the conduct 

 of Generall Norris ; and that Generall Drake should 

 meete him in the river therof with the Fleete ; that there 

 should be one Company of foote left in garde of the 

 Castle, and sixe in the ships : also that the sicke & hurt 

 should remaine there with provisions for their cures.

 next day remedied. 



In this march Captaine Crispe the Provost Marshall 

 caused one who (contrary to the Proclamation published 

 at our arrivall in Portugall) had broken up an house 

 for pillage, to be hanged, with the cause of his death

 beginning of our march, caused the commandement to
