AD. THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



1584. 



there beganne to demaund of me many things, to the 

 which I answered : and amongst the rest, he said, that 

 Master Drake was sent out of England with many ships, 

 and came to Maluco, and there laded cloves, and finding 

 a gallion there of the kings of Portugall, hee caused 

 two pieces of his greatest ordinance to be shot at the 

 same : and so perceiving that this did greatly grieve 

 them, I asked, if they would be revenged of me for 

 that which M. Drake had done ? To the which he 

 answered, No : although his meaning was to the con- 

 trary. 



[II. i. 249.] He said moreover, that the cause why the captaine 

 of Ormus did send me for Goa, was, for that the 

 Viceroy would understand of mee, what newes there 

 was of Don Antonio, and whether he were in England, 

 yea or no, and that it might be all for the best that 

 I was sent hither, the which I trust in God wil so 

 fall out, although contrary to his expectation : for had 

 it not pleased God to put into the minds of the arch- 

 bishop and other two Padres or Jesuits of S. Pauls 

 colledge to stand our friends, we might have rotted in 

 prison. The archbishop is a very good man, who hath 

 two yong men to his servantes, the one of them was 

 borne at Hamborough, and is called Bernard Borgers : 

 and the other was borne at Enchuysen, whose name is 



The author of John Linscot, who did us great pleasure : for by them 



tne book of the ^^ archbishop was many times put in minde of us. 

 And the two good fathers of S. Paul, who travelled 

 very much for us, the one of them is called Padre 

 Marke, who was borne in Bruges in Flanders, and the
