Commodities for the Tingussies.

PEwter, Pewter Sawcers, Little Platters, Flat Poringers, some grauen, some vngrauen. Nests of Cups, some grauen, others vngrauen. Salt-sellers. Plates, or sheets of Latten being white.* Hamborough Lichenaes, Blue, Red, and Tawny. But I think our course Northerne dozens, and course Kersies Northerne dyed into those colours, would vent as well and better then they: they being thicker walked. And the Samoieds delight altogether in thicke Cloth. Grey doo∣zens of an easie price would vent well among the Permicks, which were much grey or mingled coloured course Cloth. And some course doozens died Yellow, or Northerne course Cloth Red and Yellow, would bee no bad Commoditie.

Aqua vitae of two sorts, the best and indifferent for the Samoieds. Glasse Beades, Skie colou∣red. [ 60] Needles round and three square. Brasse Basons, Russe Linnen Cloth, or Polish Linnen Cloth. Hops, Mault, Russe Sope. All sorts of strong Wines, as Sacke and Canarie Wine. Ba∣con is a good Commoditie in Siberia.
