LAST VOYAGE OF THOMAS CANDISH 



A.D. 

 1592. 



God to separate our fleete, and to bring us into such hard 

 extremities, that only now by his mere mercy we expect 

 reliefe, though otherwise we are hopelesse of comfort, yet 

 because the wonderfull workes of God in his exceeding 

 great favour toward us his creatures are farre beyond the 

 scope of mans capacitie, therefore by him we hope to have 

 deliverance in this our deepe distresse. Also forasmuch 

 as those upon whom God will bestow the favour of life, 

 with returne home to their countrey, may not onely 

 themselves remaine blamelesse, but also manifest the 

 trueth of our actions, wee have thought good in Christian 

 charitie to lay downe under our hands the trueth of 

 all our proceedings even till the time of this our 

 distresse. 



Given in Port Desire the 2 of June 1592. Besech- [III. 846.] 

 ing the almightie God of his mercie to deliver us from 

 this miserie, how or when it shall please his divine 

 Majestic.
