AD. THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



1584- 



request in so smal a matter as this we require, whereof I 

 expect no refusall : for thereby he shall increase his honor 

 with the grand Signior, be in credite with her majestie, 

 be void of trouble which hereafter by future suite against 

 him may happen, and his gallies free of such doubtful 

 issue as doeth chance, fighting with our ships. Which, as 

 it is well knowen to all the world, have so great hearts as 

 never cowardly to yeeld to their enemies. And that 

 therefore in that respect (after the proverbe, like esteeme 

 of their like) they are the more of such a valiant prince 

 as is their Viceroy and his couragious souldiers to be in 

 all friendship cherished and better esteemed. If the cap- 

 taine Bassa had bene returned from Capha, I would in 

 like maner have procured his letters, which for that he 

 is not, I doubt nothing but that the grand Signiors will 

 suffise. Thus commending your selfe and these proceed- 

 ings to the almighty his merciful direction, I bid you 

 most heartily wel to fare. From my mansion Rapamat 

 nigh Pera, this 30. of March 1585.
