HEere in this Table haue I not spoken of France, nor of any part of the Low-Countries, neither of Ireland, in all which places I haue beene, nor yet of England, the Garden of the world, because I count it a folly to tell the Master of the house the con∣dition of the Seruants, for euery man by naturall reason can dis∣couer his owne home.

Now haue I thought it fit out of the former Table to select twelue principall places, in discouery whereof I shall not omit as occasion is offered to speake of the rest, and how I came to e∣uery place, with the names of Ships and Gallies, with the owners, and Masters, and how many leagues each of these twelue places are from England.

FOr proofe of what I haue herein written, concerning my slauery and thraldome, I haue procured, though not without some cost and more trauell, sixe of the chiefest masters of ships of London, who see me, and relieued me often during my thraldome, to subscribe their hands hereunto, as also the hands of diuers Masters and Sur∣gions of other places in England, whose names follow, viz.

Robert Thorneton.

Master of the good ship called the Royall Marchant of London.

Thomas Gardiner.

Master of the good ship called the Triumph of London.

Robert Bradshaw.

Master of the good ship called the William and Thomas of London.

Thomas Rickman.

Master of the good ship called the Mary Anne of London.

Iames Dauies.

Master of the good ship called the Isaak of London.

George Millard.

Master of the good ship called the May-flowre of London.

Denis Dauies.

Barber Surgion of London.

Thomas Rousley.

Barber Surgion of London.

Charles Hearne.

Richard W••ight.

Walter Mathew.

Richard Rowe.

Owner of the good ship called the Por∣tion of Milbrook, in the countie of Cornwell.

Many others moe as well Noble men, Knights, Gentlemen, as owners, Masters, and Surgions did see, and can witnesse my slauery, whose hands lik••wise I might easily haue procured, but that con••••••e∣ring the businesse to be of no great importance, I held it needlesse to trouble either them or my selfe any further, and these present wit∣nesses are sufficient.
