of John Cockburn, &c. 1 ] 7 

 Cloak, very richly imbroidered with Gold, 

 but feemed to be fuperannuated. We flood 

 looking at him very fteadfaftly ; but he faid 

 not one Word, nor took the leaft Notice of 

 us, till Curiofity led me to ask him (in 

 Spanifb) if he was of Old Spain ; upon 

 which, he anfwer'd very quick, in EngBjb, 

 that he was no Spaniard, but came from 

 London many Years ago, and faid no more. 

 I went on to ask him feveral other Queftions, 

 but he anfwer'd to none of them, and theft 

 the Alcald, and others, who were about 

 him, defir'd I would not talk to him any 

 more, faying, Indeed he was our Country- 

 man, but was now old and fick, and not 

 capable to anfwer ; upon which I held my 

 Peace, perceiving, they had no Mind any 

 Difcourfe ihould pafs between us. By this 

 time, Mr. Rounce had taken a thorough 

 View of him, and was well fatisfy'd,. that 

 he was the Man, he had imagined him to 

 be, and then he told us, that his Name was 

 Edmund Underwood ; and that he had been 

 Matter of a Veffel, and had lived at Tar- 

 mouth, where he knew both him and his 

 Father very well, who was a Rope-maker, 

 This Man, it feems, has been miffing many 



Years,,
