THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



I thinke you shall not iinde such colours there. There- 

 fore you must cause them that shall go upon this voyage, 

 to take saffron with them, to cause the same skinnes to 

 bee put into the saide colours. Also I thinke you shall 

 finde oyles there. Three hogsheads of sweete oyle for 

 this voyage are very necessary, or a hundred & fiftie 

 jarres of oyle. Also in London you may lade in 

 the said ship these parcels of commodities or wares, as 

 followeth : 



In primis, Foure peeces of hollands of middle 

 sort. 

 Item, One peece of fine holland. 

 Foure hundred elles of osenbriges very fine. 

 Foure dozen of sizzors of all sorts. 

 Sixteene kintals of pitch of the Canaries. 

 Twentie dozen of great knives which be made in 



fardleSj of a low price. 

 Foure dozen of a small sort. 

 Sixe peeces of bayes of the lowest sort. 

 One very fine peece of bayes. 

 Foure hundred elles of Manchester-cottons, most 



blacke, greene, some yellow. 

 Eight or tenne dozen of hats, the one halfe 

 trimmed with taffata, the other plaine, with the 

 bands of Cypresse. 

 Sixe dozen of course shirts. 

 Three dozen of doublets of canvas. 

 Three dozen of doublets of stitched canvas.
