The Portugals,
Not to defraud them of their due,* 1.1 might have Subdued India by
this time, had not we fallen out with them, and given them the first
blow at Ormus; upon which the Dutch fell in and took from them
the best of their Conquest, and all their Spice Trade; notwith∣standing
they have added some Christians to those formerly Con∣verted
by St. Thomas, but it is a fond report to say all India; no more
than to have Conquered all the Inland Country, where they never
pierced, their Possessions being most by the Sea-side; yet at this day
they bear the Port of a Vice-Roy at Goa, who has his Council, and
Governs after the Mode of Portugal: His Reign is Triennial, as are
all their Capitaneas.
Notes
* 1.1
The Portugals might have Conquered In∣dia had not the English In∣terrupted them, and the Dutch fal∣len upon them.
