§. III. Their comming to Divulginde landing the Embassadour, seeking Trade, and crossed by the slanderous Portugals, going to Sumatra and Ban∣tam; and returne.

THe six and twentieth, we came to an anchor right before the mouth of the Riuer Sinde, [ 50] with directions of a Pilot,* 1.1 which we had out of one of the Fisher-boats which were fi∣shing there. We road in a foot lesse then fiue fathome water (the Riuers mouth bearing East & by North) in very good ground: and is in the latitude of twentie foure degrees and thirtie eight minutes, to the Northward of the Equinoctiall Line, the variation is sixteene degrees fortie fiue minutes.

Hereupon the same day the Ambassadour sent two of his people ashoare, to speake with the Gouernour concerning his Lordships comming ashoare: and to tell him his intent, to haue pas∣sage through that Countrey into Persia. Which Gouernour, named Arah Manewardus beeing of Diul, was very willing to welcome the Ambassadour, and to shew him all the kindnesse hee could (for the loue he professed to the King of Persia) both in his Royall entertainment, and pas∣sage through his Countrey, or Iurisdiction: and sent a principall man aboord vs, accompanyed [ 60] with fiue or sixe more to welcome his Lordship, with many Complements, assuring him of kind entertainment.

So presently, there were Boates sent for from Diul, to carrie him, his people,* 1.2 and his goods ashoare, which came on the nine and twentieth of this instant: vpon which day, we were clee∣red

both of him and his (both in number and health) as when they first entred into our ship: and for his farewell, eleuen Peeces of Ordnance were shot off from our ship. Also Simsadin, our treacherous Baluche Pilot, wee set ashoare at the same time (beeing intreated of the Gusurats) notwithstanding his desert to haue beene set in the Sea, in that hee would haue cast vs away twice: whereof, once by himselfe, and another time by his Deuillish counsell giuen to another Pilot, which we had of the Fisher-boates here. At the Ambassadours departing out of the ship the Captaine deliuered him a fine piece double locked, to present the Gouernour of Tata, a great Citie one dayes iourney from Diul,* 1.3 both Cities standing in the Great Mogols Dominions. Also we intreated his Lordship, that hee would send vs word how he found the Countrey, and whe∣ther we might haue trade there or not: and withall deliuered his Lordship a note in writing, [ 10] what we chiefly desired. They Copie whereof doth follow.

Inprimis, that our comming hither to this Port, as it is purposely to land your Lordship, so withall we haue brought certaine Commodities and Money, to the end if we obtaine safe pro∣tection for quiet and peaceable Trade, we may make sale of such and so much of our Commodi∣ties as shalbe fitting: otherwise we desire but leaue to refresh, and so depart. Likewise, if the Gouernour please, that we may settle a Factorie heere, we also desire it: and although now wee are but slenderly prouided, yet, hereafter we will bring such store, and sorts of Commodities, as shalbe most required and conueniently vented in this Port.

The Commodities we now haue brought are these, viz. [ 20]

ELephants Teeth. Fine Peeces. Lead in Barres. Morses Teeth. Tinne in Barres. Some Rials of Plate.

The thirtieth of September, the Ambassadour had audience with the Gouernour of Diul con∣cerning all his businesse, vnto whom he shewed the King of Persians Firma, as also the King of Spaines Passe,* 1.4 thinking thereby to satisfie and resolue the iealous doubts of the Portugals Lied∣ger there, (who reported, vpon intelligence from Ormus, that Don Roberto Sherley was come forth of England with three shippes into the Indies of purpose to steale) but they peremptorily denyed credence to any Writing hee shewed them, saying, it was neither their Kings hand, nor Seale. For if it were, they could not be ignorant thereof, considering they knew it so well: and [ 30] further said, it was counterfeit. Whereat the Ambassadour was much moued to impatience, and replyed againe vnto them, saying, that it was meere folly to shew them any Kings hand or Seale: for they had no King, and therefore could not know it. And that they were a waste Nation on∣ly subdued, and brought vnder subiection perforce by the King of Spaine, and were seruile both to him and his subiects. Notwithstanding the Portugals were not danted, but stood stiffely in their former opinions: and said, that he had two ships more in the Indies. Then Arah Manewar∣dus spake in the Ambassadours behalfe, rebuking them sharply for such vnseemely contradicti∣ons of the Persian Ambassadour: and so concluded, absenting the Portugals out of the roome. Af∣terward the Ambassadour made a speech vnto the said Gouernour and assembly, concerning the admittance of vs into his Port, to trade (according to directions, giuen his Lordship from vs, [ 40] as aforesaid) which was very kindly imbraced of the Gouernour: with willingnesse to do there∣in what he might, all inconueniences vnderstood. For which purpose he willed the Ambassa∣dor to send for one or two Merchants from aboord, to conferre with him vpon the same. Where∣upon the Ambassadour wrote a Letter vnto vs, by two of his people, who came aboord our ship on the second of October 1613. in the morning: by which Letter we perceiued his Lord∣ships proceedings in our desired businesse with the Gouernour, with assurance for our safe going and returne: being in such good sort and fashion, that our hopes were great in establishing a trade there, if not a Factorie: especially to make sale of the small quantitie of goods which wee now brought.* 1.5 Wherefore Master Ioseph Salbancke, and my selfe, fitted our selues with the aduice of the Captaine and others in our ship, and went ashoare in one of the Countrey Boates the same [ 50] morning about eight of the clocke, our ship riding about foure or fiue miles from the riuers mouth, from whence we had fifteene miles to the Citie Diul, where the Ambassadour was, so that it was late in the euening the same day before we landed.

And in our way we met with a Portugall Frigat bound for Ormus, which I saw went to carrie newes of our ships being there: because none of their ships (which were daily expected) should come till we were gone. This Frigat came close by our shippe, and tooke view of her, and so de∣parted. Now when we were landed, there came three or foure Portugals vnto vs, demanding if we had brought any goods ashoare, and such like questions: to whom wee made no reply, ma∣king shew that we vnderstood them not, because we might vnderstand them for our aduantage, if occasion serued.* 1.6 Then there came another Portugall (who spake the Dutch Tongue very per∣fectly) [ 60] telling me many things concerning the people and Countrey, all tending to disgrace, in an idle and friuolous manner▪ thinking thereby to disswade vs from desiring Trade there. Not long after, the Officers of the Custome-house came and conducted vs vp to the Castle, where the Gouernour dwelt, who we thought would haue spoken with vs that night, but did not, because

it was so late: yet the Officers (being for the most part Banians, and spake good Portuguse) sear∣ched euery part about vs for money, not leauing so much as our shooes vnsearched. Which being done, and peceiuing vs to take it strangely, they prayed vs to be contented, for it was the order of that place. To which I answered, that although the Portugals might giue them cause to ordaine so ••ad a fashion, yet English Merchants did not, Meazle like, hide money in their shooes: but notwithstanding, we were therewith contented. Then the Gouernours Seruants came to vs, excusing it likewise, saying, that he was displeased thereat. And so they brought a great light, and directed vs from the Castle, vnto the house where Sir Robert Sh••rley, the Persian Ambassa∣dour did lodge: to whom wee found our selues very welcome, and lodged there all the time of [ 10] our abode in Diul, expence free. The Portugals seeing vs landed, and hearing that wee were to treate with the Gouernour about the setling of Trade there,* 1.7 did nothing all this time but (like enuious and lying Malignants) spread clamorous and scandalous speeches, in disgrace of our King, Nation, and Countrey: reporting that we were theeues, and not Merchandizers, but liued chief∣ly by robbing of other Nations on the Seas.

The third of October in the morning, the Gouernour sent the Ambassador word,* 1.8 that in the afternoone he would haue speach with vs. In the meane while, wee had intelligence that the Portugalls were labouring all they could with him, and others, to preuent our intertainement: both by offering him gratifications if he would refuse vs, and by threatning to be gone, if he did receiue vs, alledging as before, that they would not trade where theeues did trade. Neuerthelesse, [ 20] according to our expectations, the Gouernour sent for vs; and withall commanded foure great horses gallantly trapped, to be brought vnto the Embassadours house, for his Lordship, Sir Thomas Powell Master Salbancke, and my selfe; also a certaine company of his seruants,* 1.9 to conduct vs to the Castle: also all the Embassadours followers went with him, each of them carrying an Halbert on their shoulders.

Thus we rode through some part of the Citie, wherein the people in euery street came flock∣ing to see vs, they hauing of long time heard talke of Englishmen, but neuer had seene any before now: for we were the first that euer came into that part of the Countrey.* 1.10 When we came to the Castle, we were receiued very orderly, and directed through some spacious roomes, (where soul∣diours were standing on each side as we went in rankes, cloathed all in white linnen from head [ 30] to foot) vp to an high Turret, wherein the Gouernour, and some other were set: who at our en∣trance arose, and saluted vs, bidding vs kindly welcome. Then we all sate downe together round vpon the Carpets, which were spread vpon the floare according to their fashion. Then the Go∣uernour againe said, we were very welcome, and that he was glad to see Englishmen in those parts; and proceeded to further talke concerning our businesse, and told vs (whereas wee desired trade) the Portugals would not consent that we should driue any trade, or haue to doe where they were, threatning to be gone if he did entertaine vs. Notwithstanding, if he could be assured of a greater benefit to arise by our trade then by theirs, he would not care if they did forsake him: for hee did well affect our Nation. But in the meane time, he hauing farmed the customes of that Port from the King,* 1.11 vnto whom he stood bound for the payment of certaine summes of money yeer∣ly [ 40] for the same, whether it came in or not: it behooued him carefully, to be circumspect in orde∣ring those businesses, whereby to auoid the Kings Highnesse displeasure; which vnhappily might fall out to his vtter ouerthrow and vndoing.

And then he began to tell vs further, that the custome of the Portugalls trade, together with their meanes in letting out their ships to Guzerates and Banians, amounted vnto a Leck of Rupias yeerely, which is tenne thousand pound sterling. Then he demaunded of vs,* 1.12 what sorts of Com∣modities we had now brought, and the quantities of each; also what store of money? All which we answered him, a little more or lesse, and withall told him, that although now we brought but small quantities, yet wee could furnish that Port at our next returne, with any Commodities whatsoeuer the Portugalls did bring; and such a quantitie of each, as we should perceiue requisite [ 50] and fitting to be vented there. Of this he liked well, and asked in what time we could returne from our Countrey thither againe? We answered him, in about twenty two moneths. So hee concluded, saying, That in regard of our small stocke, the Portugals would both laugh at him, and vs, if we should be entertained now. Wherefore, he wished vs to deferre it vntill our next com∣ming, and in the meane time he would giue vs a writing vnder his hand and seale, thereby to as∣sure vs of entertainement at our next comming, conditionally, that we come prouided as afore∣said, and we to leaue him another writing, to assure him that our ship should not molest any of the King of Mogors ships, goods, nor subiects; which we agreed vnto: withall requesting him, that although hee would not receiue vs whereby to establish a trade now; yet that he would per∣mit vs to make sale of those goods we now had: which in no wise he would grant, for feare of [ 60] offending the Portugalls, alleadging as before. Then we desired him that wee might haue water, and other refre••hing for our money, and we would depart so soone as we could. For this he said, that so soone as we did send him our writing aforesaid, he would both send vs another, and giue order to his Officers for the same: but he would not haue the Portugalls to know thereof. So we seeing no remedie, demanded of him what sorts of commodties he would haue vs bring thither;

also what Commodities that countrey did affoord: who answered these, viz.

Broad cloath of diuers prices, and light colours, as Stammels, Reds, Greenes, and Sky-colours, and Aniles, Blewes, and Azures, &c. Elephants teeth, Iron, Tinne, Lead, Steele, Spices, Mony. These Commodities are to be carried for Sinde.

Commodities to be had there.

INdigo of Lahor. Indigo of Cherques. Callicoes all sorts. Pintadoes of all sorts. Guserat and Cambaya. Commodities of all sorts, with many sorts of Drugges.

Then wee tooke our leaues of him and parted, returning to the Embassadours house againe, where I framed a Letter, and sent him according to our promise, signed by M. Salbancke, and my selfe; and receiued another from him likewise, which was in the Persian language, much like the Hebrewe Letter backward: the English whereof was interpreted to vs by the Ambassadour; as [ 10] followeth, viz.

WHereas here arriued at this Port of Diul, in the Kingdome of Mugore, one English ship cal∣led the Expedition, whereof is Captaine Christopher Newport, and Merchants, Ioseph Sal∣bancke and Walter Peyton, to land Don Robert Sherley, the King of Persians Embassadour, who de∣sired grant of trade in this Port (being vnder my gouernment) which willingly I would haue graunted, but onely for preiudiciall inconueniences insuing: for they brought not merchandize, sitting in quantitie to begin such trade: neither the Portugals by whose trade at present I reape benefit, would consent thereto, threat∣ning to bee gone if I did receiue the English Nation. So that thereby, I should haue beene left destitute of all trade, whereof those Summes of Money doe arise yeerly, which I am bound to pay vnto the Kings [ 20] Maiestie: and in default therein, I should put in hazard his Highnesse displeasure, to my vtter ouer∣throw and vndoing. Yet notwithstanding, for the loue I owe vnto the King of Persia, by whose Embassa∣dour I am requested, and the affection I beare vnto the English Nation; together with the faithfull perfor∣mance of their writings▪ left with me vnder their hands and seales, of the two Merchants aforesaid, (which is not to molest or meddle with any of the said Kings shippes, goods nor subiects, in the time of this their Voyage, in the shippe aforesaid) I haue giuen them this writing vnder mine owne hand and seale: hereby promising the English Nation (that if they will come like themselues, so fitted that I may aduantage my selfe more by them, then by the Portugals) infallible assurance of intertainement to trade, with such reaso∣nable grant of Priuiledges as we shall agree vpon. Dated in Diul the third day of October, Anno 1613.

[ 30]

Signed, Arah Manewardus. Sealed with Incke.

The fourth of October, we receiued the writing from the Gouernour, together with order to his Officers for our watering and refreshing: and then wee hastened to returne aboord our ship againe. And a little before our departure, the Ambassadour fell into discourse with vs, about the procuring of a Firma from the King of Magore: and withall, wished Master Salbanck to go along with him for Agra (which is the chiefe place where the great Mogoll keepeth his Court) and he would warrant vs, that he would procure the same in very short time: especially now, at this so fit an opportunitie offered, both in regard of his businesse with the Mogoll, as also the willingnesse of Arah Manewardus, to entertaine vs at this Port: which opportunitie being let [ 40] slip, we should neuer obtaine the like; his Lordship protesting and vowing to doe his best endea∣uour therein, and shew himselfe a true hearted English man towards his Countrey, howsoeuer the Company of Merchants (he said) did conceit him. And further, that Master Salbanck should be an eye-witnesse of his constant and faithfull proceeding therein, to doe the Merchants good, in obtaining the said Firma: not only for Diul, but also for any other part in the Mogolls Domini∣ons: an•• also should bring it for England ouer-land himselfe. All which being grounded vpon some rea••on, and Master Salbanck hauing been in those parts before, hee was willing to vnder∣take: Prouided, he might haue the consent of the Captaine, my selfe, and others in the ship. To which purposes, the Ambassadour writ a letter to the Captaine, perswading his consent thereto, and sent it aboord by vs. [ 50]

So we parted from Diul this day in the after-noone, and when we came to the Riuers side to take Boat, there flocked about vs many of the Countrey people: also there came downe to vs a∣bout a dozen of the enuious Portugals, who began to talke with vs in Dutch, as before, deman∣ding of vs many friuolous questions: which, when I had answered, I spake in their owne lan∣guage, (because the Banians which were there present, might vnderstand) and told them that they were a shamelesse and lying people, in spreading of so many deuised scandals, and slanderous reports of our Nation; vnto whom they knew themselues much inferiour in many respects; and that they did it only in malitious policie, because they would not haue vs to trade in the Indies, as well as they. Also I told them, that if they did not containe themselues within the compasse [ 60] of better peace, reforming themselues hereafter, both in their sayings and doings, they should be all rooted out of the Indies, and a more honest and Royall Nation placed in their roomes. Then one of the chiefest of them singled out himselfe, and answered thus: That they had enemies too many already, and therefore they desired no more. And as for scandalous speeches they did not

deny, being vrged thereunto: for not long past, off from Surat, they had a ship taken by English men, as they supposed: to which I answered them, that it might bee rather the Hollanders. So they concluded, in the end very plyant and sociable, wishing that we might trade in all parts of the Indies with them, and they with vs, like neighbours and friends; and that there were some agreement made betwixt our King and theirs, for the bringing to passe thereof. Thus they taking their leaues of vs in very kind manner, we parted.

The sixt, we arriued aboord our ship againe, where it was agreed vpon, that Master Salbanck should goe, as aforesaid, with the Ambassadour for Agra. Wherefore he fitted himselfe, thinking to haue gone ashoare the next day; and in the meane time, the Captaine sent the Purser and his [ 10] man to buy fresh victualls, and prouision for the Sea: who, when they came to the Citie, were by the Gouernour presently turned backe againe as they went; and expresse command by Pro∣clamation, vpon paine of death, the Country people should bring no more English men ashoare. These sudden and strange alterations made vs much to maruell; for wee could neuer know the certaintie whereupon it grew, or what should be the cause.

All the time of our being heere at Sinde,* 2.1 we could neuer vnderstand of any trade se••led at Su∣rat: for if we had, we might haue taken other courses. The Ambassador had aboue seuen moneths iourney, (from Sinde to Spahaun in Persia) by Carauan; or if he procured to trauell otherwise, then it is one moneth lesse.

The ninth, we set saile from hence, directing our course, with Gods leaue, for Sumatra.

[ 20] The twentieth of Nouember, we came to an anchor in the Roade of Priaman, where we went in betwixt the two Northermost little Ilands,* 2.2 and anchored close by the Northermost of them both in fiue fathome water. And in the meane time wee beat the price of Pepper at Priaman, and brought it from two and twentie Rialls, to seuenteene Rialls a Bahar, first peny: at which price we bought two Bahars, which were brought aboord our ship. But the Gouernour, although we had presented him with a piece, would not suffer vs to take an house, nor to buy any Pepper ashoare, vnlesse wee would bestow some twentie Presents vpon the Officers and Merchants there.

The two and twentieth, we receiued a letter from Captaine Christen, out of the Hosiander at Tecoo, earnestly wishing vs to come to Tecoo with our ship, so soone as we could, and wee should [ 30] not faile to lade so much Pepper as we determined, and that in short time. And because we were not well acquainted with this place; Captaine Christen sent one of his Masters Mates, named Richard Hall, to Pilot vs into the Roade, by reason of many dangerous shoalds that lye a∣bout Tecoo.

The eight and twentieth, we came to an anchor in Tecoo Road, in foure fathom water,* 2.3 where Richard Hall returned aboord the Hosiander, and being troubled with the Fluxe, dyed the same night. Now we being come to Tecoo, found all things contrary to our expectation. For, whereas before our comming hither, the Countrey people offered their Pepper to Captaine Christen after twelue and thirteene Rialls a Bahar, in trucke of Surat commodities; they now demanded two and twentie Rials rea••y money, refusing to trucke with him at all for commodities. Also, heere [ 40] they demanded as many presents, as they of Priaman; besides seuentie two Rials of plate for anchorage. So that we were now worse to passe then before and time not permitting vs to make delay, we grew into short termes with them: and told them, that although wee did not buy a Cattee of Pepper there, wee would not agree, nor yeeld vnto their vnreasonable demands. And withall, I framed a letter, as from the Captaine, by him firmed and con••••gned to the chiefe Go∣uernour, shewing him that they did not vse our Nation so well, as we did expect at their hands, both in regard of their vniust demanding of presents; (which we did not vsually giue by com∣pulsion, but either for affection or deseruing) and also their vnreasonable delaying the perfor∣mance of their promises, falling out to be so vncertaine, that wee could not account them to bee Merchant-like dealings. For our ships haue stayed there diuers times, three, foure or fiue moneths, [ 50] only depending vpon their posting promises, to haue their full lading; which might haue beene as well dispatched in one moneth, with that small quantitie of Pepper which they had. This letter was Englished by the Hosianders Linguist (named Iohn, an Indian,* 2.4 who spake the language very well) vnto the chiefe Gouernour: who hereupon gaue present order, that wee might buy Pepper of any man that would sell. And withall sent a messenger aboord our ship, to wish one of vs to come ashoare, and it should be weighed there. But we doubting their delayes, accepted not thereof; and therefore sent him word againe, that wee could not stay so long, as to weigh it ashoare: if they would bring it aboord and weigh it, we would giue them eighteene Rials a Ba∣har for their Pepper, and two Rials vpon each Bahar, for the custome and Gouernour, being iust twentie Rials, conditionally they would bring it aboord; otherwise we would not stay. So they [ 60] lingring somewhat long before they came, we set saile, making shew to depart: which the Go∣uernour perceiuing, forthwith sent another messenger (who spake the Portuguise language indif∣ferently well) to entreate vs to come to an anchor againe, and wee should haue as much Pepper brought aboord immediatly as we would lade: which we did, and they came as fast with Prawes lading of Pepper, as conueniently we could weigh it: and so continued for the space of three or

foure dayes, till they had brought about some two hundred Bahars, and then began to slack their bringing. Which we perceiuing, and fearing to spend ouer-much time heere (lest we should lose the seasons of the Monsons) we departed for Bantam.

* 2.5The eight of December, we set saile from Tecoo, where we left three of our men in the Hosi∣ander, their necessitie so requiring. In our course to Bantam, for the most part, we sailed within sight of Sumatra.

The sixteenth, at our entrance into the Straights of Sunda, being the sixteenth of this pre∣sent, we met with the Dragon bound homeward, by whom we writ home.

* 2.6The seuenteenth, wee brought our ship to an anchor in Bantam Road: where wee presently went ashoare, to prouide her lading. On the nine and twentieth, we made an end of lading our [ 10] whole complement.

* 2.7The second of Ianuary, we set saile from Bantam for England, not hauing lost one man by sick∣nesse in all our Voyage hitherto; for which, God make vs thankfull. Also this day, as we were going out by Pulo Pan Ian,* 2.8 wee met with Generall Saris in the Cloaue, come from Iapan: for whose letters, and the deliuery of foure chests, the Captaine cast anchor againe. Also we spared him two of our men, namely, Mortimer Prittie Yonker, and Thomas Valens, one of our Car∣penters Mates whereof they stood much in need; for they had not one Carpenter left aliue. Thus hauing also dispatched these businesses with the Cloaue, we set saile once againe for England, on the fourth of this present.

* 2.9The one and twentieth, we came to an anchor in Saldanha Bay: where wee had sheepe and [ 20] Bullocks reasonable store, besides great abundance of fresh fish, which we caught with our Sayne in the Riuer.

* 2.10On the ninth of Aprill, we departed, and then we had prosperous winds, which continued vntill we came in the latitude of about three degrees to the Northward of the Equinoctiall Line,* 2.11 which we passed vnder on the eleuenth of May, finding our ship then to be in two and twentie minutes North latitude. Hereabouts many of our men began to fall sicke, some of the Scuruie and swelling in their legges. The tenth of Iuly, we came to an anchor in the Downes in safetie, God be euer praised.

After this twelfth Voyage, the order of that reckoning is altered, because the Voyages en∣suing were set forth by a ioynt stocke, and not by particular and proper ships, stockes, Factories, (as before) but promiscuous and generally accountable to the whole societie. Of which, all are [ 30] not come to our hands: such as I haue (that which thence is meete for the publike view) giue I thee.
