& dwelling places, and so doe some of the Friers, because 



they cannot be suffered to rule & governe. 



Also the Indians have complayned against me, because 

 I have burned their villages in this last rebellion. Where- 

 fore if your Majestie doe not send some order for 

 this countrey and see into these cases, it will breed 

 great dissention and rebellion among us, and we 

 shall be readie to cut one anothers throat before it be 

 long. 



Thus I thought good, according to my humble 

 bounden dutie, and for the service of your Majestie 

 and quietnesse of this realme, to certifie your Majestie 

 the truth of the whole matter ; hoping in short time 

 that your Majestie will send some good order to qualifie 

 these broyles : for there is great hatred and malice among 

 us. Jesus Christ preserve and keepe the royall person 

 of your Majestie with long health, as it pleaseth him. 

 From the Captaineship of Parajua this present 20 of 

 August. 1597.

 Pilot to Sir John Yorke knight, before Sebastian

 coasts of Brasilia eighteene voyages. 



Emorandum, that from Cabo de buena 

 Esperanza unto Brasilia the Sunne hath

 as the Moone hath over our tides here. 

 And that whensoever the Sunne is 

 in any of these signes he governeth 

 the tides as foUoweth.
