bouc all the Signc of the Crojfe to chat Inffrument, was to vs 
a great Rcjoycing, and asic werea cercainc Prefage of Good 
Our Anfwer was in the Spanifh tongue ; That for our Ship , it> 
was well s For we had rather met with Cahyes and contrary winds, 
than any Tempers. For our Sicke , they were many, and in Very ill 
Cafe ; So that if they were not permitted to Land , they ran danger of 
their Lines. Our other Wants wee fee do woe in particular, ad¬ 
ding j That w>e hadfome little (lore of Merchandise, which if it~> 
p leafed them to deale for , it mightfupply our Wants , without being 
charge able Vnto them. We offered fomc Reward in Piftolets vnto 
the Seruant, and a peecc ef Crimfon Veluec to be prefented to 
the Officer: But the Scruant tookethem nor,not would fcarcc 
looke vpon them; And fo left vs, and went backcin another 
little Boat which was font for him.

, there came towards vs, a Pcrfon (as it Teemed) of place.He had 
on him a Gowne with wide Slceues, of a kinde of Water 
Chamolec, of an excellent Azure Colpur, ferre more glofly 
than ours: His vnder Apparell was greene ; And fo was his 
Hat, being in the forme of a Turban, daintily made, and 
nodo huge as the Turki/h Turmans j And the Lockes of his 
Haire came downc below the Brimmes of it. A Rcuerend 
Man was he to behold. Hee came in a Beat) gilt in fomcparc 
ofir, with fourcPerfons more oncly in that Boat; And was 
followed by another Boat, wherein were fome Twenty. 
When hec was come within a Flight-fhot of our Ship, 
Signes were made to vs, that wee Ihould fend forth lotne to 
meet him' vpon the Water, which wee prefently did in our 
Ship-Boat, lending the principall Man amongft vs faue 
one, and route of our Number wi&h him. When wee were 
■come within fix yards of their Boat, they called to vs to 
(fay, and not to approach further, which wee did. And there- 
vpon theMarr, whom I before described, flood vp, and with 
a loud voice, in Spanijh, asked, Areyee Chriflians ? Weeanfwe- 
red; Wee were; fearing the leffe, becaufe of the Croffeyyz had
