1553- 



grew so malicious in their wrongfull purpose, that I 



being utterly out of hope of any speedie release, to the 



ende that my intention should not be overthrowen, was 



inforced to take this course following. Notwithstanding 



this hard beginning, it fell out so luckily, that I found 



in the roade a great shippe called the Cavalla of Venice, 



wherin after agreement made with the patron, I shipped 



my selfe the 24. of May in the said yere 1553, and the 



25 by reason of the winde blowing hard and contrary, we 



were not able to enter the straits of Gibraltar, but were 



put to the coast of Barbarie, where we ankered in the 



maine sea 2. leagues from shore, and continued so untill 



two houres before sunne set, and then we weighed againe, 



and turned our course towards the Straits, where we 



entered the 26 day aforesayd, the winde being very calme, [II. 1. 102.] 



but the current of the straites very favourable. The same 



day the winde beganne to rise somewhat, and blew a 



furthering gale, and so continued at Northwest untill we 



arrived at Legorne the third of June. And from thence 



riding over land unto Venice, I prepared for my voyage 



to Jerusalem in the Pilgrimes shippe. 



I John Locke, accompanied with Maister Anthony 



Rastwold, with divers other, Hollanders, Zelanders, Al- 



maines and French pilgrimes entered the good shippe The ship Fila 



called Fila Cavena of Venice, the 16 of July 1553. and ^^^^"^
