English. A DIALOGVE OF THE COMMING of a certaine ship, to wit, how the Master thereof appeared be­fore the King and what was done there besides, written after the Indian manner, with seuen persons, whose names are, Dauid, Abraham, a Messenger, the Porter, the King, a Wo­man, and the Master of the ship.

GOd saue you Abra­ham.

And you Dauid.

Whence come you so ear­lie?

Out of the market place.

What newes? haue you heard nothing of the comming of any ship?

I heard the thundering of Ordnance, which is a signe of ships comming.

And I heard that a shippe was come from Guiserat.

But what Marchandizes doth she bring?

She is laden with rice, al­monds, and raysons, she bringeth also many cloathes of all sortes, and very much bombace.

Is this so? surely this news is very much desired.

I heard it so affirmed for a truth.

If therefore God assent, cloathes and other Merchandi­zes will be easilie gotten.

Yea (God willing) this will be profitable for many poore men, who goe ill apparrelled, see­ing cloathes haue been a long time of great price.

This is true, because rice also, aswell winnowed, as not winnowed, and other meates, as flesh, fish, and other victuals.

We now hope better, for it is time, that the shippes come from Bengala, Noselipatan, and other places, all which bring cloathes, and winnowed rice.

What is he who commeth thence, carried vpon a mightie Elephant, and guarded with so many men accompanying him?

That is Sabandar with the Secretarie.

I see also strange men sit­ting vpon him, who are they I pray you?

It is the Guiserat Captaine who came lately with his shippe, [Page 3] and is now to bee brought vnto the King.

What meaneth it, I pray you, that a certaine Elephant go­eth couered with red cloath, be­fore which drumsters and trum­peters goe?

The Elephant which you see, and the man who sitteth in the little house set vpon him, are a token, that they bring their Kings letters vnto our King.

But who hath those letters?

That man who sitteth vp­on the Elephant.

Who is it that sitteth vpon him?

It is one of the Kings No­bility, chosen by him for this pur­pose.

But to what end are these things?

For the honor of the King from whence the letters are brought.

But what is it, that I see so many men and young striplings follow him, euery one whereof carrieth somewhat in his hands fairely couered with a coloured cloath?

They are presents, which the master must giue vnto the King.

Doth hee present them in stead of a tribute for his goods, or is hee compelled to pay more in stead of custome?

No. seuen for an hundred are paid in stead of custome.

What honour doth the King giue these men againe?

When they are come in, hee honourablie entertaineth them.

What therefore is done?

They eate and drink, and al kind of delicates and fruits are set before them, they play, dance, and al manner of pleasures are exerci­sed, they sound the Trumpets, Cornets and other Pipes, and strike vp the Drummes: And fur­ther, the King causeth a garment, made after the manner of that place, to be brought, and giueth it to the Master.

Is this the manner of this Countrie?

I, this is the manner with this King, and hath bin also with others.

Doth the King any more?

No: for when these things are done, the King causeth them to be brought home againe with the Elephant.

I would desire to see al these things.

Goe too therefore let vs follow them.

Are they not already ente­red? we haue staied heere a long time.

They are not, for they can­not enter into the gate, vnlesse a [Page 5] ken be first giuen from the King.

Come therefore, Is it so? let vs goe quickly.

Doe you see? They all stand yet at the gates.

It is true, but who is hee that commeth forth, holding a gilded knife in his hand?

Hee is the Kings messen­ger.

Whither must he go with the knife?

He commeth to bring in the Captaine.

How is that knife called? is it not called by another name?

Yes, for it is called Si'ap, which is as much as if you would say, a token from the King.

Vnto whom hath hee any commandement?

Vnto the Master of the gates.

I see that he deliuereth the Si'ap to him.

It is true, but come, let vs heare what he will say.

Ho, where are you Por­ter?

I am here, what will you with me?

Receiue a commande­ment [Page 6] from our Lord.

I will heare, God willing.

The Kings, commande­ment (and if it please God) is, that you let the Captaine in with his people.

In the name of the Lord, praise be to our King.

Let your Maiestie know that the Captaine is present here at the gate.

It is well, he shall present­ly be let in, but goe you, and call forth the woman first.

What doth your Maiesty desire?

Are all things ready for the receiuing, and well intertai­ning of strange guests?

My Lord King, all things are prepared. For first, wee haue hung vp that blew silken cloath garnished with gold, ouer head, in stead of a canopy or couering, and haue couered all the pillars with silke. Furthermore, ouer the Kings Maiesties head wee haue hung vp that red veluet cloath leafed with gold, and for the strange guests, that greene veluet cloath intermingled with the Rhinoceros and Tigers of gold. The women that shal daunce we haue attired with red and greene [Page 7] silken apparrell, hanged golden chaines about their necks, put ta­blets to their breasts, garnished with precious stones, gold rings on their fingers glittering with Carbuncles and Diamondes, and haue put golden bracelets vpon their armes and leggs.

It is well, see that al things be so prepared, that I bee not dis­graced.

By Gods helpe all things shall be well and carefully proui­ded.

Let in the Captaine.

Behold, the King is at hand.

Call the Interpreter to me, that I may speake with the Cap­taine.

Hee himselfe vnderstan­deth the Malaian language very well.

Is it so? what, hath he bin here before?

Yea King, for it is Captaine Salomon, who was heere two yeres since, brought hither from Mecha with two ships.

Lay downe that vestment, and spread a mat made of taffe­tie for him, that the Captain may sit thereon.

Praise be to the King, he is intreated by me his slaue, that I may lawfully speake vnto him.

Speake what you please.

After that, through the [Page 8] grace of God, I arriued in this ha­uen of your Maiestie, and had fa­stened mine anchors, it came to passe, that when I departed from my King to bring these letters to your Maiestie, hee gaue me some other thing in charge besides, which I should deliuer in your Maiesties presence, although the same also bee contained in these letters: to wit, that if your Maie­stie stood in neede of any ships of warre, or galleyes for your de­fence, you should signifie the same vnto him by your letters, seeing in our countries all things are abundantly found which appertaine to warlike preparation, to wit, shippes of warre, gunnes greater, & lesser, speares, swords, daggers, yron co [...]slets, gunpow­der, matches, bullets of all sorts, yron, lead, brasse, tinne, and what­soeuer may be deuised.

Praised bee God, seeing your King doth so comfort me, I pray God to recompense it vnto him.

Amen.

Giue vnto the Captaine that hee may eate of the fruites, cause the Musick to be exercised, and let there be dauncing, strike vp the lesser Drummes, play on the Flutes, and let the Drumster performe his dutie well, set meate before the Captaine, reach him some of the rosted capon, and of [Page 9] the boyled henne, with the broth, and let him taste the fishes taken in our waters, powre out wine, and carrie it to the Captaine. Ho, Captaine, be merry, eate & drink, although I will not drinke, for I haue taken physick to day.

I thanke your Maiestie. Surely I do nothing else, but eate and drinke, and make my selfe merrie.

Goe, bring certaine gar­ments for the Captaine, to wit, a red coate, a taffatie girdle edged with gold, a yellow garment shi­ning with intermingled gold, a girdle hauing Arabian letters wrought in gold, and a dagger with a golden pummell garnish­ed with precious stones, the hast whereof is made of black Corall. Cause the Sabander to clothe him with this attire.

Glorie be to the King.

Cause the Elephants to fight, let a Bufala bee killed, and let the halfe thereof be distribu­ted among the Captaines mari­ners, seeing they haue eaten little fresh victuals in the voyage.

Glorie be to the King. But I intreat your Maiesty that I may depart, seeing night now appro­cheth.

Well, when you will: but my pleasure is that you dailie come vnto me and visit me.

If God so please.

Let y^e Elephant be brought forth, that the Captaine may be carried home. But giue him these sweet Oranges, and sweet Pome­granates.

God preserue and keepe your royall Maiestie.

God, the fountaine of all goodnesse, be also with you.

THE SECOND DI­ALOGVE FOR THE BVY­ing of victuals and diuers proui­sion, when you come to a strange coun­trey. And the persons talking together are a certaine Germane, an In­dian, and a King.

GOd saue you my Lord.

God saue you also.

Pardon me my Lord, that I speake vnto you.

What will you haue with me? let me heare.

Doth not my Lord know, whether certaine soraine shippes were lately heere, which came from strange countries?

Yea, three ships were here, but they are againe departed.

Is it long since they depar­ted from hence?

No, three weekes since.

But what did they here?

Nothing but prouided themselues of victuals, buying Oranges, Lymons, Bananas, Ho­ney, [Page 11] Rice, Oxen, Buffalas, Goates and Sheepe.

How long staied they here?

About twentie daies, for they had many sicke men, whom they brought into certaine hou­ses.

Are there many of them dead?

Six, as farre as we know, for many of them recouered health againe.

Did they also take fresh water?

Yea, out of a certaine riuer issuing forth behind that hill.

Is that water good and wholesome? and may a man goe vnto it by boate?

Yea, you may conuenient­ly goe and returne from thence in your boate.

Know you not whither they directed their course?

They determined, surely, as they seemed, that they would saile to Atche or Bantam to buy Pepper or Cloues.

They must therfore, of ne­cessitie, be Hollanders.

But who are ye? & whence come you?

Wee are good men, and brought from farre countries.

VVhat is your countries name?

Our countrey is called [Page 12] Holland.

But wherefore came you hither?

Wee came hither driuen by contrary tempest, to buy some fresh victuals, for we haue been long tossed in the sea.

It is well. I will declare vnto the King, that strange ships are come.

If you please, I will send two men with you to the King.

Goe to, doe as you please.

What meaneth so great a multitude of armed men com­ming hither? what sound of trum­pets and cornets doe I heare?

The King commeth there with all his princely traine.

If this be so, I my selfe will go to meete him, that I may giue him honour and reuerence.

Goe to, let vs go together.

What are those men, who come to meete vs?

O King, they are men, from farre countries, driuen hither through tempestuous weather, and they come to buy prouision for their people.

Bid them come, that I may heare them speaking.

It is well O King, behold they are present.

Who are you, and what came you to doe here?

O King, we surely are Mer­chants comming from far coun­tries, [Page 13] and driuen hither through the iniurie of the windes.

Haue you bin long at sea?

About foure moneths.

Whither therefore do you determine to goe?

Wee determined to saile to Bantam to buy Pepper, Cloues, Nutmegs, and Mace. But seeing wee are driuen hither, wee intreat your Maiestie to giue vs leaue to take fresh water, and buy certaine fresh victuals.

What merchandizes ther­fore bring you?

Wee bring gold, siluer, cloathes, Corall beades, yron, lead, blacke and white, and other merchandizes of all sorts, as loo­king-glasses, kniues, sizzars, combes, spectacles, Iewes harpes pipes, glasse, and whatsoeuer may be imagined.

It is well, and here you shal receiue as many kine, oxen, goats, and diuers fruites as you please. For I will command my subiects that they sell vnto you whatsoe­uer you shall desire.

God preserue and defend the King.

THE THIRD DIA­LOGVE, FOR THEM THAT will buy prouision of victuals in the indi [...] countries. The persons speaking together are a Germane, and un Indian.

GOd saue you my friend.

Likewise, you also my Lord.

Haue you nothing that may serue for my vse?

What manner of men are you? and whence come you?

We are Merchants com­ming from farre countries, to ex­ercise trafficke here.

What merchandize will you haue?

I desire prouision and meat for my companions, wherof ma­ny are sick, seeing we haue now been foure moneths in our voy­age.

This is too long to be at sea, I should certainly dye, if I had continued so long at sea.

Vnlesse there were men, that would saile in the sea, this world should not be viewed.

It is true, but yet there must be some to till the ground.

Tell me, I pray you, haue you goates, sheepe, kine and any fruits to sell?

If you please to goe with me, I will shew you plentie of all things.

Is the iourney long? I would not willingly go through the woods, seeing we often meet with many wilde beasts there, as Tygers, Rhinocerotes, and Ser­pents, which I greatly feare.

It is neere, as soone as you haue passed this valley, there are no wilde beasts heere, whereof you may be afraid.

Goe too therefore, let vs goe.

Tell me now what you de­sire. For I will sell you whatsoe­uer you will haue.

I desire oxen, goates, and diuers fruits, as Oranges, Limons, Pomegranates, Bananas, Milke, Hony, Suger, Suger canes, Rice bruised and vnbruised.

It is well, all things are had here.

How doe you value this oxe?

What wil you pay for him, siluer? or will you change him for other merchandizes.

I will pay you siluer for the oxe: but for the fruits I will change other merchandizes.

You shall therefore pay for him, if you please, fiue ryals of siluer.

This is too much, I will not buy so deare.

How much therefore will you pay?

I will pay you three and a halfe.

You shall pay me foure, and a fourth part.

I will not spend time in cheapning: will you haue foure, bating the fourth part of a ryall?

Goe to, take him.

You must needes bring him to the boate.

I will doe this, when you haue bought the rest.

What doe you desire for a thousand Oranges, and Pome­gran [...]tes?

You shall giue me two great looking-glasses, foure cuppes of glasse, and fixe rasers.

I will giue soure small loo­king-glasses, sixe kniues, seuen trumpets, and tenne sizzars.

I dare scarse sell them for so little, for I shall incurre the reprehension of my master.

Goe too, I will adde these two paire of spectacles besides.

Take them therefore, that we stay no longer here.

What shall I giue you, for a measure of this white rice, milke and hony?

You shall giue in all, one yard of red cloath, and two yards of black cloath.

I will giue you one ell of greene, and one ell of yellow cloath.

Take them therefore, but will you haue thing else?

Not now, for it groweth towards euening: but you must needs carrie all these things for me, and bring the oxe wel bound into the boate.

There are labourers heere [Page 17] present, who will performe this seruice to you for reward.

Yet I agreed with you be­fore, that you should doe it your selfe.

Was it so? be it therefore done.

You must of meere neces­sitie, bring vs daily such things as we want.

Returne againe to morow, and I will sell you all things at a reasonable price.

But tell me, I pray you, be­fore I depart, is there not any house here to be hired, into the which wee may bring our sicke men?

Haue you many sick?

Twentie, more or lesse.

Of what disease are they sicke?

The most part are troubled with the laske, and some also sick of the feuer.

There are many heere who can cure them, and an house may easily be had for them.

Go too, to morrow, when the boate commeth to fetch fresh water, I will also come.

Come whēsoeuer you please, I will alwaies be at home.

It draweth to the euen­ing, I must therefore goe, we shad scarce come vnto the ship before midnight, for it is a long iourney by the riuer.

Goe, God be with you.

God also keepe you.

THE FOVRTH DI­ALOGVE CONCERNING one who wandred in a wood, and is brought into the way againe. The persons talking together are Iames a Germane, and Gabriel an Indian.

HO, ho, doth no mā heare? Ho cōpanions, ho where are you? how fearefull am I lest I haue wandred out of the way in this wood, surely I see no way, whereby I may escape: it were best, that ascending this moun­taine, I looke about on euery side for a way to get out, for in this valley I seeme to see certaine lit­tle houses or cottages. I must passe this way, me thinkes I heare men there. But very fitly I see a certain man heere, I will aske him the way: God saue you my friend.

God blesse you my man. But whence come you so defor­med in colour, & through sweat?

I will tell you this Sir. En­tring into the wood with our mē, to take birds, I wandred out of the way, and therefore I sought some body, that might shew me the way.

What is your name?

My name is Iames: but how are you called?

They call me Gabriel.

This is a good name.

Tell me Iames, whither do you intend to goe?

To our ships which ride at anchor in the hauen.

You haue therefore gone farre out of the way, and you can not come thither before the eue­ning.

I would not willingly lodge all night on land, for our men would suspect, that some misfor­tune had besalne me.

Stay with me, I pray you, here to night, to morrow I will goe with you, and shew you the way.

Seeing I cannot doe other­wise, I will obey you.

You cannot trauell by night, without danger, by reason of the Tygers.

I will therfore tarrie as you perswade me: but I am weakened with exceeding hunger & thirst, for wandring long through the woods and bushes, I haue also torne my skinne here and there with very sharpe thornes.

Enter into my house, I will giue you meate, and will kill an hen.

Giue me drinke of the wine of the Palme, and some fresh Co­cus nuts to eate.

Let vs goe, for supper is prepared.

Sit you first, I will afterward sit downe.

Let some body bring wa­ter to wash our hands. Eate now Iames, you eate nothing.

I do nothing else but eate.

Eate of the sodden or ro­sted henne.

This meate hath a good smacke, so that I had much hun­ger.

It is well, but drinke at length of this wine.

It seemeth to me, that it is burnt wine.

It is so, for it is made of Rice.

But when shall we goe to bed, for we must rise early to mo­row?

Whensoeuer you please, for your bed is prepared.

Ho Gabriel, when doe wee rise, that we may begin our iour­ney?

It is too early, you may yet sleepe an whole houre.

No: for it is day, let vs rise.

It is well, I will presently come.

What way shall we goe?

We are to passe through this wood, then we shall come vnto a riuer, ouer which wee must also passe.

Is the depth thereof great?

It reacheth to the knees.

Are we to go further when we haue passed the riuer?

From thence through a very high mountaine, wee are to descend into a valley.

But, doe there no theeues stay in this wood, who spoile men of their goods?

Somtimes our enemies vse to make their inrodes hither, who take men, and put them to a fine of money.

Is there not much danger therefore here?

Sometimes also they kill men.

Tell me Gabriel, when we haue passed this mountaine, may we see the ships?

Surely, wee shall then see them by and by, but wee are then to turne vnto the right hand.

Whether vnto the East, or towards the West?

A little towards the South, and so forth.

I now see the shoare, and the sea, I therefore reioyce, and hope that shortly (God willing) I shall be in the ship.

What reward will you giue me because I haue brought you againe into the way?

This seruice shall be well re­compensed vnto you when I shal come to the ship.

Goe too therefore, I will returne to morrow, for now I [Page 22] must hasten home.

Depart, God be with you.

THE FIFTH DIA­logue, for buyers and sellers.

GOd blesse you Iohn.

And you also Luke.

What doe you here so ear­ly in the cold? haue you bin long here?

Almost an whole houre.

Haue you sold many wares to day?

What should I sell, I haue not yet begun, or taken any mo­ney.

Nor I.

Be of good comfort, it is scarce day, God will send chap­men enow.

I thinke some man now commeth: Sir, what wil you buy? will you please to buy nothing. See whether I haue any thing that may serue your turne. Come into the shop: I haue red scarlet cloathes, and also blacke, yellow, greene, purple, and briefly of all colours, that any man may desire. I haue also linnen cloath of a small thrid, and silken cloathes, as the best veluet, branched veluet [Page 23] of all sorts, Damaske, Taffetie, Grogriane, small Corall beades, Corall rings, saire looking-glas­ses, pots of glasse of all sorts, pa­per, spectacles, for men of diuers ages. If you desire a gunne, or a good sword, behold they are here, aske for what you please, I will shew you whatsoeuer you will, and that freely.

For how much is an yard of this cloath sold?

One ell is sold for Taiela.

It is more costly then is sit for me. For how much is an yard of Chamlet sold?

You shall pay me if you please, sixe Maesas for enery ell.

It is too much, for it is but of a course thrid.

By your leaue, behold it better, it is of a faire thrid, and of a goodly glosse.

Doth it not leese the co­lour?

If it keepe not the colour, I will restore you your money.

Goe too therefore, tell me how much I must giue?

I said, sixe Macsas.

I will not giue so much for it.

What will you therefore giue, will you lay downe no­thing?

VVhatsoeuer I will lay downe, you haue demanded too much.

I demaunded, but not In that sense, as if I could not abate any thing, and sell cheaper. Say, what you will giue for it?

I will pay three Maesas, and three Coupangas.

I cannot sell it for so cheape a price, for otherwise I should lose my good fortune. I haue surely of another sort, which I can sell for that price, but it is not of that goodnesse. I will let you see that, which I can sell cheaper, but you cannot doe bet­ter then if you buy the best. If we were brethren, I could shew you none of a better marke.

Will you take my money?

I cannot vpon that condi­tion.

I will yet adde one Mae­sa, and one Coupang.

I cannot, I should loose somewhat of mine owne.

I will pay no more.

Goe too, on Gods name, goe see somewhere else, whether you can buy cheaper, surely you shall haue none any where for a lesse price, for I can sell for so much as any other in the city, but yet it is needful that I gaine som­what, I sit not heere to leese any thing of mine. You know all things are at a great price, one thing therefore must follow ano­ther: vnlesse you will pay fiue [Page 25] Maesas, I cannot help you, for you are too hard.

So I am.

Surely no man shall gaine any thing by you. If all men were of that niggardly disposition, I should certainly be compelled to shut vp my shop, for I should not gaine my maintenance.

So surely you say.

Truly it is so, as I say.

Yet heare one word.

Speake, I will heare.

I will pay fiue Maesas, a­bating one Coupang.

It is little, I cannot so sell it.

What then, shall I' not haue it?

Not for that price.

Goe too then, God keepe you.

Goe, God bee with you. Ho, returne and take it. I cannot let you goe, and see, that you re­turne another time, & buy againe of me: but yet it is too low a price.

Surely in your iudgement, but I say it is too great a price, and that I am deceiued by you.

I discharge you of the buy­ing, if you repent you thereof.

It were a dishonest part if I should doe this; take your mo­ney. How much doe I owe?

I haue cast it into one summe, and found that eleuen Taielas, [Page 26] eight Maesas, and three Cou­panges are due to me.

Is the account rightlie made?

Yea, it is truly made.

Well then, receiue and tell your money.

This money is not good.

Wherefore is it not good?

Because many peeces of money are cracked, and broken in it.

Goe too, chuse out those broken and faultie peeces of mo­ney, and restore them vnto me.

I will doe so.

Restore me one Coupang, which remaineth vnto me.

I haue not yet receiued any Cassias to day.

That therefore wee may pay, I will take these little pots for a Coupang.

Take them, but another time you shall pay somewhat more.

I will doe it, God willing.

Will you, that any one car­rie your wares? I will commit them to my seruant to be carried.

It is not needfull I my selfe will carrie them, God preserue you.

I heartily thanke you sir, when you will haue any thing else, returne vnto me, & you shall haue it at a reasonable price.

It is well, I will returne.

God be with you Sir.

Let the Reader know that Taielas, Maesas, Coupang as, and Cassias, whereof mention is here made, are the money of Atche. But the Taie­la of Sum [...]tra is of the value of sixteene Maesas, and a Maesa amoun­teth to the value of foure Coupang as, and one Maesa conteineth foure thousand fiue hundred Cassias.

THE SIXTH DIA­logue: how debt may be required.

GOd saue you Sir.

And you likewise friend.

You know without doubt, wherefore I am come, doe you not?

No surely.

Doe you not know who I am?

I know not, who therefore are you?

Haue you forgotten, that you lately bought certaine wares of me?

It is true in good sooth.

But when shall I receiue my money?

Surely, I haue no money now, for I haue laid out all which I had among men, of necessitie therefore you must stay yet eight daies longer.

But I can stay no longer, it is necessarie that I be satisfied, I haue waited long enough, see that I have my money, or I will cause you to be cast in prison, else giue me a suretie.

How much therefore doe I owe you?

You know very well.

Surely I haue forgotten, certainly I noted it, but I know not in what place.

You owe me tenne Taie­las, and foure Maesas, is it not so?

Verely, I beleeue, that it is so.

You promised to giue me money within two moneths: Is it not true? Is it not so?

It is true surely, but I could not wrest money from them, who ought it me.

I care not for that, see that you be satisfied.

Seeing they are men, they haue money readie, what shall I doe to them? Surely I am com­pelled to stay while they receiue it, I must not proceed so strictly, I must haue patience and mercie, which God hath commended vnto vs.

That surely is true, but I haue staied long enough. I can not waite any longer, for my Creditors also vrge me, other­wise I would stay longer.

Come friend, this man will be suretie for me.

What he? Is it true friend? will you vndertake for this man?

Yea, how much doth hee owe you?

Tenne Taielas, and foure Maesas.

What say you? That debt is not great.

It is surely.

You truly say so, but I will be sworne that it is not so much.

How much therefore is it?

No more then ni [...]e Taie­las, for you told me so your selfe.

Did I say so vnto you? what I?

You surely.

Well, be it so, yet it seemeth vnto me that they are tenne, but I will put you in sure, seeing you say that it is no more: but when shall I receiue payment?

In tenne daies space.

I will therfore stay so long, but see that you performe your promise.

That I will doe, God wil­ling.

If he satisfie you not, I my selfe will satisfie you.

I am now contented, God keepe you.

Depart, God be with you.

THE SEVENTH DI­ALOGVE, FOR INQVI­ring of the way, and other common things.

GOd be merciful vnto you Robert.

God giue my Lord long life.

How haue you done in the meane space, since I saw you last?

Euen as well, as then.

But it seemeth not to me, that the world goeth so wel with you now, as for the most part it was wo [...]t.

Whereby doe you gather this?

By your face, which is alto­get [...]er pale.

I haue had a sharpe fit of an ague fiue or sixe times, and I am so weakened thereby, that I haue no appetite at all.

This is an euill disease: but whither are you carried vpon so quicke an horse?

Towards A [...]che, to their solemne feast.

I also goe thither, if you please we will ride together.

Surely it would please me, but you goe much faster then I.

We will therefore ride as [Page 31] you please, it is all one to me, for my horse goeth gently.

But mine hath a very hard pace.

In Gods name let vs ride.

Who are these that go be­fore vs?

I know them not, they are Merchants, let vs set forward a little faster, that wee may ouer­take them: for I feare lest wee haue wandred out of the right way.

We haue not gone out of the way, feare not.

Yet it is good that we aske some body.

Enquire of this shepheard.

VVhich is the way (my friend) that leadeth vnto Atche?

You must goe forthright, and neither turne to the right hand or the left, vntill you come vnto a certaine huge tree, then bend your course vnto the left hand.

How many miles are ac­counted from hence vnto the next village?

Two miles and an halfe, a little more.

Let vs therefore goe some­what more slowly, for I am with­out all feare, and I see the tree, whereof hee spoke. It is a dustie soyle, and the dust hath almost blinded me.

Take this Taffatie, and put [Page 32] it to your eyes, for it will defend you both from the dust, and also from the heate of the Sunne.

It is not needfull, for the Sunne is now gone downe, and I fea [...]e that we shall not come into the citie before it be night.

That is very ill, because this way is dangerous by reason of theeues, who spoyle trauellers of their goods. It is not long since a certaine rich Merchant was ri­sled heere. This causeth me to feare, lest the same may happen vnto vs, and surely it may easily be done, vnlesse we looke to our selues.

There is no cause why you should feare, for I now see the [...]urret, set vpon the great Church of the Citie.

I [...] draweth toward euen­ing, surely the darknesse will o­uertake vs before wee come into the Citie.

By your leaue, the gates are not shut before eight of the clocke.

Therefore it is the better, for I vse not, willingly, to stay without the gates.

No [...] I.

Let vs aske these men for best I [...]ne in the Citie.

Leaue that care. I know the best place in the Citie, is at the red Lion in Portugall street. [Page 33] But let vs proceed, I pray you, for me thinkes I see y^• Porters, which are about the shutting of the gates.

I am so weakned, and wea­rie with riding, that I can goe no further. Besides, which is more, my horse halteth, peraduenture hurt in the foote with a naile, or else he is gauled on the backe, for he goeth so heauily, that I thinke all the ribs of my body are bro­ken.

Let vs goe in.

God bee praised, that wee are come into the Inne. Let vs goe thither where we may finde the best wine.

THE EIGHTH DIA­LOGVE, FOR THE RE­ceiuing and weighing of Pepper.

HO, Abraham awake▪ it is now day, let vs arise.

My head aketh, mine eyes smart, let me sleepe yet a little.

You will be better when you are risen. We must needs go vnto the King and get the Siapp, that we may receiue Pepper.

Goe too, I am now readie: but haue we bags in a readinesse, [Page 34] to fill with Pepper?

If any bee wanting, buy more.

Shall wee take no siluer to carrie to the King?

Yea, take two bagges eue­ry one whereof containeth three hundred great Ryals.

VVhen wee come to the King, must we stay vntil the King sit downe, before we speake vnto him?

I now see the King, giue him honour, I will speake vnto him, that hee would consent to weigh Pepper.

Well, doe so.

Praise be to your Maiesty, I humbly intreate your Maiestie that it would please you to cause these Ryals to be told, and accep­ted, and withall that you would command the Sabandar to deli­uer vs Pepper, for the time is nigh at hand, wherein we are to depart hence.

How much time remaineth, vntill you are to beginne your voyage?

Two moneths yet remain, then the monson of the East wind will be come.

Goe too therefore, let the Sabandar receiue these Ryals. I will commaund him that euery day he cause Pepper to be weigh­ed vnto you, vntill your ship bee laden.

Praise be to the King. But how much shall wee pay for a Baer of Pepper?

The Sabandar shall set you downe the price.

I would desire that it might be done before your Maiestie.

Goe too therfore, you shal pay twelue Taielas for euerie Baer, and about foure Maesas and an halfe, euery Ryall.

We will pay eight Taielas, accompting euery Ryall for fiue Maesas and a three fourth part.

Strangers of Guiserat and Arabia pay more, but ye shall pay tenne Taielas, accompting euery Ryal for fiue Maesas, and you shal pay no custome.

We heartily thanke your Maiestie. We will pay so much willingly, so that wee may lade our ship in sixe weekes.

Come, wee will weigh you some part of the Pepper. Are your Mariners ready with boates to receiue the Pepper?

They will presently bee here with bags, wherewith they may receiue the Pepper.

Goe too therefore, I will goe bring the key to the house, where the Pepper is laid vp, with a Notarie to set down the waight of the Pepper. The weigher also shall be brought, with weight ne­cessarie for this purpose.

Must wee vse a balance, or other instrument?

With another Instrument for weight, which they call a Beame, weighing euery time half a Baer, wee shall quickly dispatch the matter.

Goe too therefore, let vs weigh, our people are now come, let vs hang vp the hundred pound waight or Beame, let Pepper bee brought.

Pepper also shall presently bee brought vnto you from fo­raine places, and shall be weigh­ed vnto you.

We will also take that to­gether, so that it be not corrup­ted.

Looke to it whether it be not good.

This Pepper is common and vile, that was plucked from the stalke vnripe, this is moyst with water, and seemeth to haue been purposely moystened, and hath both sand and also stones intermingled with it, y^t it might appeare to much the more weigh­tie, I will not therefore receiue this, lest the other which is better should be corrupted therewith.

Goe too▪ let some therefore bee weighed [...]or you out of the store-house, which is greater, and better clensed.

Ho, Weigher, make ready to weigh, I will note the waights, [Page 37] but see y^t I receiue good waight.

Well, where are they that lift vp the sackes, and fasten them to the Beame?

Behold, they are present, and stand round about you both before and behind.

Goe too therefore we wil weigh, attend and hearken: the first hath an hundred and three, another, an hundred and fiue, and also, an hundred and seuen.

Ho, Sir, weigh right, you let not the beame goe out of your hand, see that wee receiue that which is iust.

I giue you that which is due vnto you, I will not defraud any man of his right.

Nor doe wee desire any thing more, then that which is right.

Take away the sackes, lest they hinder me, seeing they are all laid together in one place.

Come Sabandar, let vs en­ter into accompt, and see how many Baers we haue receiued, for the boates are laden, and the wa­ter abateth, that it may be feared that wee cannot get out of the ri­uer.

You haue receiued accor­ding to my accompt, fiftie Baers, and seuentie fiue pounds; is it not so? haue I not rightly said?

Your accompt is iust, wee [Page 38] haue receiued as much as you say, but we must depart, it is euening, we will returne to morrow.

Goe your waies, God bee with you.

THE NINTH DIA­LOGVE, FOR THE CELE­brating of a feast, with ten persons, which are,

GOd giue you good day Iohn.

And you also Herman, God giue you good day.

How doe you?

I am in good health, I thank you that you aske. But how fare you Herman?

I am very well. But how doth your father, and mother?

They are well, God be prai­sed.

What doe you vp so early?

Is it not yet time for a man to rise?

Are you yet fasting? haue you eaten nothing?

Nothing surely, for it is vn­seasonable yet. But haue you ea­ten any thing?

What else, an houre since, [Page 39] should I fast so long? But whence come you?

Frō whence should I come? I come from the schoole, the Church, from the market place.

But whether goe you?

I goe home.

What a clock is it?

It is almost twelue.

What is it so late?

I must be gone, I shall in­curre the displeasure of my mo­ther. Farewell Herman.

Doe you make such hast? did our Master aske for me?

I heard it not. But I cannot stay here any longer. Farewell.

Depart, God be with you.

I pray God giue you good euening my mother, and all the companie.

Iohn, whence come you? where haue you been so song? why come you so late? is this ac­cording to my meaning? I com­manded you to come at foure of the clock, and now it is vpon the stroake of sixe. Tell me where you haue been: for it is now a long time since you came frō schoole, I know this, and I will tell it vn­to your master.

Be not displeased mother, for I now come first frō schoole, I knew not that it was so late, I was no where else, for my part you may aske our master, whe­ther [Page 40] this be not so.

I will doe so, for it is ne­cessarie that I know the truth. Go your waies now, lay the cloath, make more haste.

I will my mother, but where shall I finde the tablecloath?

The tablecloath lieth in the chest. Set the saltseller downe first, can you not remember this? I haue told you more then twen­tie times, you learne nothing, it is a foule shame for you: goe fetch trenchers, earthen pots, and nap­kins.

Well my mother, but where shall I finde them?

You can finde nothing, behold they are here, why do you not seeke? goe fetch bread.

Well, giue me money: how many loaues shall I bring?

For two crosse pennies, for the one white, for the other, or­dinarie: but bring them all new baked,

It is well, I goe, behold I bring bread mother.

Well done, goe bring wood that I may kindle a fire, make cleane the kniues, fill the Ewer with water, hāg vp a cleane towell, make a fire, your father commeth; and Dauid your cou­sin with him, goe forth to meete them. Vncouer your head, and bow your knees vnto them.

It is well my mother, I goe: I am glad father, that you come safe, with your companie.

Peter, is this your sonne?

Yea, it is mine.

It is a fine child, God make him to grow in vertue.

I thanke you heartily.

Doth he not frequent the schoole?

Yea, he learneth the French tongue.

Doth he learne? It is well done, Iohn, can you speak French?

Not yet very well, but I learne.

What schoole do you fre­quent?

In the Lombard Castle.

How long haue you fre­quented it?

About halfe a yeere.

Doe you also learne to write?

Yea, cousin.

This is well done, learne diligently.

So I will, God willing.

Kinsman, safe be your comming.

I heartily thank you kins­woman.

Kinsman, doth it please [Page 42] you to stay here? why come you not in? warme you at the fire, and afterwards wee will goe to the table.

Doe you thinke that I am a cold, it were a shame for young men, such as I am to be a cold.

Kinswoman, how doe you?

Well, God be thanked.

Where is my Aunt? why brought you not my Aunt with you?

She is sick in some sort.

Is it so? is she sick? of what disease I pray you.

She is sick of a feuer.

Is it long since she began to be sick thereof?

Almost eight daies.

I was ignorant thereof, to morrow I will goe and visit her, God willing. Francis bring a stoole for your cousin: Kinswo­man, come to the fire. Francis see who knocketh at the doore, It is Roger, this I certainly know.

Well, I goe, who knocketh at the doore?

Friend, open the doore.

Are you Roger?

I am: Is your father at home?

He is, and my mother also, come in, I will shew my father that you are come.

Francis, see that all things [Page 43] be ready, that we may sit downe.

Father, all things are prepa­red, you may therefore sit downe whensoeuer you please, Roger al­so is come.

It is well, I will come pre­sently, call the children.

Well father, Iohn where are you? come to eate, where stay you? what doe you there?

What shall I doe, haue I any businesse here?

Do you not know that you must come to the table, come, say grace.

Well, I come now.

Iohn, why doe you not ha­sten, when you are called? bring stooles hither.

Peter, let vs sit downe, for it is time.

It is well, I am content.

Dauid, take you this place.

VVho am I? doth it not please you, I will not doe it, bid Peter sit here.

Peter vseth not to sit there, he shall sit here, this is his place.

Iohn, say grace I pray you.

Well father, God blesse you my father, and you my mo­ther, and all your companie.

Francis bring meate, set downe the Cucumbers and the beefe, powre out that wee may drinke, carrie it to your cousin, [Page 44] and to the rest of the guests. Fran­cis sit downe with vs, Iohn, bring milke for your brother, and com­mand the rest to be made readie, runne quickly.

Brother, take your milke, is it not too much?

It is too much.

Eate not all, send it away when you will haue no more.

Why do you not eate your milke, while it is yet warme?

It is too hot yet.

Iohn, bring bread, Roger desireth bread, bring a trencher, set downe some mustard.

Giue me the flagon of wine.

Hold it fast.

Let it goe, I hold it.

Peter, drink not when you haue eaten your milke, for it hur­teth the health, first eate some­what else before you drinke. Pe­ter, cut me a little flesh, and cut me bread, set somewhat before Francis that hee may eate, for hee hath nothing.

Am I appointed to be his seruant? can hee not cut for him­selfe? You are now of that age that you may prouide for your selfe. I will not waite vpon you, for I serue noue but my selfe.

Reach him somewhat, for being ashamed, hee dares not [Page 45] touch any thing, that I see.

Goe too therefore, take it. Bring somewhat else.

It is not yet readie.

Go, bring the rosted flesh, powre in wine heere, powre out first for your father, you make the cuppe too full, powre not in to much, doe you not see what you doe? you waste the wine, Roger hath no wine, doe you not see?

I pray you make roome for the placin [...] of this dish.

With these meates I wil lingly entertaine you all.

Wee all giue you thankes with all our hearts, you haue be stowed too much cost.

I haue not, I am sorrie that there is no more here, it is neces sarie that you take these in good part.

Surely you haue done e­nough for vs.

Peter, take this shoulder of mutton, set down the radishes, reach Dauid some of the Hare, and Conies, take the Partriges, you stand vs in no steed. Be mer­rie, I pray you all.

Here is very good victuals to eate.

Iohn, powre in for vs, that we may drinke.

But there is no more wine here.

Goe, fetch more. What doe you thinke of this wine?

Me thinks that it is good.

Sha [...]l wee therefore cause some of the saue wine to bee brought?

As you thinke good.

Whither shall I go to fetch it.

From whence you had this, or goe into the Market place to the white flower, or where you heare that there is better, inquire a little.

How much shall I bring?

Bring a gallon and a pint with one sextarie, but see that they giue you good measure, ha­sten, and returne speedily.

Yea father, I will make hast.

Francis, rise you now, and waite at the table, see whether anything be wanting, will you haue any more meate, speake boldly?

No, my mother, I haue ea­ten enough now, (praise bee to God, and thankes giuing)

Drinke therefore, is there any ale in your little pot?

Yea mother, there is enough.

If there be none, goe and fetch.

Doth any knocke at the doore? see I pray you.

Is there any one present?

Yea, open, I haue waited here aboue halfe an houre.

What doe you desire?

Good euen friend, is your [Page 47] master at home?

He is, why aske you? doe you desire to speake with him?

Yea, where is hee, I pray you?

He sitteth at the table, if you pl [...]ase, I will shew h [...]m: but who shall I say would speak with him?

I must speake with him my selfe, tell him that I am his cousins seruant, or that I am sent hither from his cousin.

It is well, I wil tell him this, stay here a little; my lather, here is a certaine man present that would speake with you.

What man is he?

I know him not father, hee saith that hee commeth from my cousin.

Demaund what he would haue.

Hee saith that hee would speake with you.

Well, let him therefore come in.

My friend, come in.

Who is with him, are there many men there?

No, only three or foure.

God blesse all the compa­nie.

Are you come Henry, what good newes doe you bring?

Peter, my master sent me hither to intreate you, that you would dine with him to mor­row.

What doth my cousin how fareth he?

He is yet in good health, through th [...] grace o [...] God.

How doth his familie?

They are all well.

I [...]ea e nothing more wil­lingly, but I would haue you m [...]ke h [...] this and were, that I gaue him thank [...]s with all my heart, and that it is impossible, that I should dine with him at n [...]ne for I haue promised to be in another place, although I had rather be with him: yet I will meete with him to morrow without faile about one [...] of the clocke.

I will therefore tell him this. God giue you good night.

Stay H [...]nry, [...]rinke be [...]ore yo [...]g e.

S [...]r [...]ly I am not thirstie, I hear i [...] [...]ch [...]k [...] you.

S [...]dy, you [...] needs [...]rinke once.

Well powre in wine here.

I will doe it, powre in for me, the other was better.

Surely as you say, this is bet­ter, in my iudgement.

A [...]ne, you are not [...]er [...]ie, ho [...] chanceth it, that you speake nothing?

What shall I speake, it is better to hold my peace then to speake a [...]s [...]e. I cannot speake French well, and therfore I hold my [...]eace.

What say you? you sp [...]ak as well as I, [...]ay, and better thē I.

What I? surely I could wish it, & would pro [...]ure it euen with twentie Florens.

Dauid, you eate nothing, eate of that this slesh is too much rosted, is it not?

So, surely, it seemeth also vnto me.

Roger, lend me your knife I pray you.

Here, take it, but restore it to me againe, when you h [...]ue eaten.

If I restore it not vnto vou againe, lend meit no more.

No surely.

This knife is good, for how [Page 50] much did you buy it?

I bought it for three sti­uers.

This price is cheaper then is fit. Giue me it at the same price, I will restore you the money.

As you please.

Roger, you eate not, I know not what you may doe, help your selfe, what are you ashamed?

Why should I not eate? I eate more then any other of them who sit with vs at the table.

Surely it seemeth not so vnto me.

You your selfe eate no▪

I haue done ons part. hitherto.

Let vs drinke well, seeing we haue eaten euilly.

Good God what say you? is there not meate enough here? this meate is sufficient euen for twentie persons, you haue be­stowed too great cost.

I haue not: Goe too, I drinke this draught vnto, and in the behalfe of all, but especially of your neighbour, I entreate t [...]a [...] you would pledge me.

I will doe it with a good will, (if God please) drink there­fore. The pot is not emptied, it is needful that I fill it for you again.

Why will you doe this? is it not emptied? I will drinke off all, see now it is emptied, now [Page 51] pledge me. You goe about no­thing else but that you may de­ceiue me.

I shall not be able to emp­tie this, you haue powred in too much.

Why should you not bee able? mine was fuller.

You had not so much, for your pot was nor so full.

Yea verily it was.

You say so.

Surely it is true, but my pot is much bigger then yours.

Goe too, let vs therefore change.

As you please, giue me your pot.

What shall I? I will keepe mine, keepe you yours.

Drinke therefore.

Goe too, it shall now bee done, see whether al be not drunk vp.

It is so, why will you be so intreated? to whom did you shew it? drinke also to me some­times, what? are you angrie with me?

Why should I bee angrie with you?

Therefore because you drinke nothing vnto me.

I drunke vnto you.

I heard it not. But now we haue drunke enough, it is need­full that we also eate; I feele great [Page 52] hunger, cut me some flesh.

Haue you no hands your selfe?

I haue surely, but I cannot reach to the dish.

Goe too, I will serue you, haue you now enough?

I haue nothing yet.

Hold therefore, haue you enough now?

See what you reach me. How should this content mee? keep it vnto you, and eate it your selfe. Roger, cut me a peece of the shoulder of mutton.

Well, here take it.

I heartily thanke you.

Iohn, fetch bread, powre in wine, powre in to all.

Some bodie knocketh at the doore, do you heare nothing?

I goe to see mother, It is Luke, the seruant of Andrew.

What will hee haue with me?

He bringeth somewhat.

Is it so? bid him come in.

Luke, come in.

God blesse the whole com­panie.

Luke, are you come?

Yea Peter.

What n [...]es do you bring?

Not much Peter.

How doth your master?

He is in good health Pe­ter, [Page 53] he recommendeth himself vn­to your fauour, and sendeth you this present, intreating that you would take it in good part, and that you would not respect the smalnes of the gift, but his mind, for he sendeth it vnto you in to­ken of his loue, and therefore that you would accept it.

Heartily thanke your ma­ster, and tell him that I will re­compense it, God willing.

It is well, Peter.

Giue Luke drink, and car­rie a light before him.

God giue you good euen, Peter, and your companie.

Good euen Luke, but haue you drunke?

Yea Peter.

Iohn, snuffe the candle, see whether all things be done, take away all things, and bring some­what else, change the treuchers, and set downe the fruits with the cheese.

All things are here father.

Remoue the dishes.

Dauid, drinke to me.

I will doe it willingly, I drinke to you with a good heart.

Let it be your health, I ex­pect it from you, I will pledge you.

Roger, haue you no newes?

No surely, no newes, but [Page 54] that which is good.

Is there not much speech of peace?

Surely I thinke that peace is yet farre off.

Haue you not heard, that the King of France is ouercome in fight against the Spanish king.

I heard it surely, but so ma­ny lies are spread abroad, that you know not what you may beleeue. Many maruellous and wonderfull things are reported, but God onely knoweth what shall be hereafter.

Surely you say true.

If wee would make peace with him, warre verily would not continue long.

This also is true.

Iohn, take away all these things, and say grace.

I am present my father, what you haue eaten my father and my mother, those things God blesse vnto you, and all your companie.

Let vs now drinke after the giuing of thankes, that wee may obtaine pardon.

You say well, but it is need­ful that yet we giue other thanks. Peter, how much wine was brought, we wil pay for the wine.

What will you? you shall giue nothing at all, for I who could giue you meate, why [Page 55] should I not be able to giue you drinke?

What is this? wine is now at a great price.

You heard what I haue said.

Go too therefore, we giue you heartie thankes, and we will see how we may recompense you for it.

This hath been long since done.

I heartily thanke you, that it pleases you that wee shall bee familiar friends me. Francis bring wood, and make a fire, that wee may warme vs.

The fire is now made father.

We are not a cold, it is time to be gone.

Why make you such hast?

I beleeue it hath strucken tenne.

It hath not yet strucken.

It hath surely.

Iohn, bring a candle.

We will haue no candle, it is a moonelight night, and there is no danger.

God giue you good night.

And you also, I commend you vnto God.

THE TENTH DIA­LOGVE.

GOd giue you good day Peter, what doe you here [Page 56] so early?

I expect Merchants.

Is it long since you came?

I came euen now, I haue not bin heere aboue a quarter of houre.

You prepare your selfe timely to your labour, as I see.

It is a thing repugnant to health, if a man sleepe all the long night.

You are too diligent.

So I am verily, I could sure­ly giue my selfe to sleepe willing­ly as long as others, but pouertie raiseth me out of my bed.

The day is very gloomie.

When it shall be changed it will end in raine.

Doe you yet dwell there, where you were wont before?

It is now three moneths and more, since I changed house.

Haue you receiued no mo­ney yet?

Nothing, no not the least farthing surely.

The same also hath hap­pened to me.

It is yet timely, the Mer­chants waite till our shoppes bee opened, and the wares set forth.

It is better to hope, then [Page 57] to reiect all hope.

There are many beholders and cheapners, but few who pur­pose to buy.

See, there commeth some bodie, doth it please you Sir, to buy any good thing?

What merchandizes haue you?

Come into the shop, the beholding shal cost you nothing.

I will willingly come in, if you be readie to sell your wares at a reasonable price.

See whether there be any thing which may serue your turne, I will sell it you at a reaso­nable price, for I had rather haue money, then the corrupting of my goods, through want of sale.

Tell me the qualitie and price of your wares.

You shall scarce deuise any merchandize, which I haue not, and surely of diuers prices; de­maund only what you want, and you shall haue it.

Shew me English cloathes.

Behold, you haue a cloath like silke.

I desire to haue them of di­uers colours, and well and fairely smoothed.

Behold I haue here for you [Page 58] white, black, blew, yellow, green, redde, of a good colour, thicke, broad, of a small, indifferent, and great price.

What kind of kersey haue you?

Of diuers sorts.

Haue you not a better?

I haue surely, but it is not yet vnfolded out of the packs.

What doth a whole pack cost?

Without circumstances, to speake in a word, it costeth se­uentie pounds.

This is too much, speake at a word which may make for the purpose.

I haue said as the matter is, you cannot buy it for lesse.

Will you that I pay sixtie pounds?

Surely I will not abate one mite.

You are too hard and co­uetous.

Hee that desireth good wares, it is needfull that he spend money.

You commend your wares too much.

Surely he is an vnwise Mer­chant, that praiseth not his wares.

Let me see a cloath made of coloured wooll.

Behold, here is a cloath made of the best wooll.

It hath a great thred, and [Page 59] ill wouen, and the cutting shew­eth that it was burned in the dye.

Behold it againe, and you will say otherwise.

For how much will you sel it, if partly with readie money, and partly I pay you with time?

In few words, and not to lose time, it is sold for 60.pounds.

Sell it me at a reasonable price, I will deliuer you an obli­gation wherewith you may bee content.

I had rather haue readie money.

He that hath a good bond, may easily get money.

What mans bond will you giue me, doe I know him?

Hee is rich and wealthie enough.

What is his name? by your leaue, what countriman is he? is he citizen?

No, he is of Gaunt.

In what streere dwelleth he?

He dwelleth neere the new Church.

What signe hath hee set forth?

Hard by the signe of the Elephant, ouer against the Doue.

I will deliberate, and in­quire of him vntill to morrow.

It is well, enquire of him, and then tell me your opinion.

I will doe [...]o.

I should make a conscience to deceiue any man.

You know not now whom you may trust, for they who seem honest men, often times think no other thing in their minde, then how they may deceiue men.

You shall leese nothing by mee (God willing) although you should sell me tenne times more merchandizes.

You shall lose nothing with an honest man. Goe too, that we may make an end, how much will you pay?

I will speake at one word, fiue and fiftie pounds.

It is little, but you shall giue fiftie eight.

I will giue no more.

You shall haue it at that price which you haue said, al­though it be very little: for he is as well a Merchant, who leeseth, as he that gaineth.

Goe too, you may keepe these wares for me vntill tomor­row morning, for then I wil giue you such a bond, for the rest that shal easily secure you of the debt.

Haue you no familiar friend in the citie?

I haue surely, here is master Antony Motten, I know not whether he be knowne to you.

He is well enough knowne to me, if hee will passe his credit for you, it is sufficient, for I ac­knowledge him to be an honest man, whom if neede required, I would easily trust with all my goods.

I will cause him to speake vnto you to morrow.

Doe I pray you.

I commend me vnto you, God keepe you till to morrow.

I will alwaies bee readie at your seruice.

THE ELEVENTH DIALOGVE BETWEENE two persons, which are Da­uid and Richard.

GOod day Richard.

God saue you Da­uid my friend.

How haue you done since I saw you last?

Very well (God be prai­sed) I thanke you sir. But how do you?

As you see, being healthie in body, yet light of money; but it is a long time that you haue not been here.

I doe trade in another place.

When came you hither?

I came yesterday, about the euening.

Came you by land?

No, I came by water, and was in so great danger, that I know not whether any greater euer besell me.

How came it so to passe?

There was so great a tem­pest, and so mightie a storme at sea, that we al thought we should haue been cast away. For, there was no other hope of safetie left, then in God, who deliuered vs out of that danger through his grace.

You terrifie me with your speech.

It is so, and I giue God thankes, that being deliuered frō the danger, I am now on the shoare.

And I also heartily reioyce, seeing it is so as you haue said, you haue had good luck: but let vs somtimes meete together, and make our selues merrie with drinke, if you please, before you depart.

What else, wee must begin again, and renew our old friend­ship, I will alwaies be readie at your back, when you shall com­maund,

It is not my part to com­maund you, but I desire that you would abase your selfe so much, and performe this friendship vn­to me, that you would sometimes see me.

I heartily thanke you.

What is here reported?

Nothing but good.

Haue you no newes here?

Nothing that I know.

Are cloathes at a small price?

They were not a long time at such a price. And yet the price of them will be increased, before it be diminished.

For what cause, I pray you tell me?

There is such abundance of things appertaining to the maintenāce of life, that the com­mon people refuse all labour. And that which is more, you your self know that the tributes, fraights, and other charges, are great e­nough.

Yet I vnderstood y^• wooll was not very [...]leare.

This cannot helpe vs, for they cost vs deare, and it is risen to thirtie or fortie shillings a pack.

What profit therefore and [Page 64] gaine shall Merchants receiue?

It is needfull that seruing the time, they sell as dcare as they can.

When do you expect your ships?

Our ships began to be la­den, when I departed.

They are now almost la­den.

I hope that vpon the first fare wind they will begin their voyage.

It is now a great calme, and a good season, for no winde almost is perceiued.

The winde is altogether contrarie, but it will shortly be changed, God willing.

The winde at sea is very dangerous, inconstant, and mu­table.

Hee must commit all to fortune, who desireth to be rich.

It is better to commit half to fortune, then for the hope of great gaine, to indanger all that a man possesseth in one voyage.

It is well said of you, for he who loseth all, ariseth not easily any more.

But to our discourse, will there many ships come?

Surely I hope so, for I know that many ships are laden with merchandizes of diuers sorts.

Doe you want nothing, [Page 65] either waxe, or c [...]oath, or yarne, or, [...]otton?

I am well furnished with these things.

Shall you receiue fine cloat [...]es, vpou the first ships that comes?

You shal haue, if you please, the very first sight of them: but I haue three timbangs of tin re [...] maining, about fortie timbangs of lea [...], a pack of leather, and cert [...]ine sacks with Cotton.

When will the time come for v [...]lading of the ships?

If the Master shall yet re­turne this [...]uening from our Go­uernour, I hope we shall begin to vnlade the ships the next mun­day.

Where haue you your shop?

Neere vnto the English house.

At what signe?

At the lesser Lion, vnto the which, on the one side, the Rose, on the other, the red Goate, ioyne.

Is it not ouer against the golden Falcon?

A little further.

I will visit you, and bring certaine of my friends with me, who also themselues will buy somewhat.

You shall bee very wel­come [Page 66] come together with your mo­ney.

At what houre shal I come?

Come betweene seuen and eight, for then you shall finde me in the English house.

Shall it be so without faile?

It shal, if God grant me life.

I recommend you vnto God, vntill I see you againe.

And I commend me to your fauour.

THE TWELFTH DIALOGVE, OF A certaine voyage by sea.

TO the shippe, ho friends, who will come into the ship?

Whither will you direct your course Master?

Am I the man whom you desire?

I must call one named A­dam.

Goe too therefore, I am present, what doe you desire?

What doe you take of any one, if you carrie him from hence to Lisbone?

I take as much as I can get, and not as much as I will.

What therfore shall I giue for that passage?

For the most part, twentie crownes are paid for the fraight, besides prouision of victuals.

Pay as much as others, and take ship, while there is yet place in it.

It is 'needfull that I first know the price, otherwise I will not enter into the ship.

Let the sacke be tyed to­gether with a cord.

You shall therefore pay fifteene crownes.

But what if the ship perish, and I perish being drowned in the waters?

Then shall you pay no fraight.

My parents exposed not their liues to so great dangett.

Where therfore died they?

In a faire and soft bed.

They are to be lamented surely, for if they had taken ship, they had not died there.

Is your shippe sufficiently prepared, and furnished with ne­cessarie things for the warres?

Surely there liueth not any man borne of a woman, that euer saw a shippe better prepared and furnished with Ordinance and other munition, then this is.

I will prouide me bisket, and other prouision, while you [Page 68] in the meane space fit the mast, and spread the sailes.

You shall haue of me, at a reasonable price.

Haue you any thing which you may carrie with you?

Nothing but a small ves­sell, and a certaine little fardle, which I will presently cause to be brought hither.

Haue you cleerely dischar ged the tribute and custome?

I am home-bred and a ci­tizen, looke vpon my wrighting.

Go into the head or wast of the ship.

Is the wind West North or South?

I thinke that the North­west winde doth arise.

I find it well enough. The winde bloweth from the East to­wards the West. When doe you thinke we shall come to the ha­uen?

If the winde be fit, we shall quickly sale it.

If the winde blow right into the saile, we shall shortly be there.

It is a calme sea.

It is calme, by reason of the slaking of the windes.

This calme is a forerunner of misfortune, tempest, and ship­wracke.

Take an oar, and row with it.

Let any man row that can, I am not able to performe that labour.

By practise one shall soone learne.

Hee that will goe to Sea, must be obedient to the gouer­nours of the shippe, as well as the sicke patient to the Physitian.

Either the water is not deepe, or else the sea ebbeth.

I cast the plummet into the deepe, and found the depth of the water to be aboue fiue fathomes.

Either the wind is calme, or the ship lieth at anchor.

If the winds arising should moue the sea, surely they would easily pluck vp the anchors.

See what the mariners doe in the top of the ship?

They hoyse their topsailes.

Stirre your oare, and row.

I am almost burst with tug­ging at an oare.

See, how the waues arise.

The water doth flow, and the sea swelleth.

I feare lest some tempest beat hand.

See how the flag flieth.

It is best that wee strike [Page 70] faile, and loose the tackling. For the storme and tempest troubleth the whole firmament.

I pray you for Gods sake let vs put in to some hauen, that we may goe out of the ship. I will willingly giue you whatsoeuer I possesse.

God will helpe vs.

How darke and mightie a tempest is this?

Set vs vpon the head of some tiuer, or on the land.

Where is the gunner, let him discharge a peece of Ordi­nance, for we are safe.

I now come to my selfe.

Let vs heartily thank God.

How doth sailing please you?

I doe still tremble with feare.

Were you neare death.

I was scarce two fingers di­stant from death, for death was so neere, that it was no further then the thicknesse of a planke.

He that hath not been at sea, knoweth not what feare is.

My haire stood vpright through feare, that I should haue been wholly ouerwhelmed of the waues.

I thought I had been bu­ried in the waues, & that I should [Page 71] haue been food for the fishes.

Seeing you Peter are a great deuourer of fishes, where­fore doe you feare?

The greater deuoure the lesser.

Why doe you not commit your selfe to the will of Pirates?

To haue consulted after the deed is done, had been profi­table vnto none.

GOd giue you good day friend.

And you likewise Sir.

Saw you no ships here, ar­riued hither from foraine places?

Yea, three ships were here, but now they are gone againe.

Are they long since gone?

Not two weekes since.

What did they here, I pray you?

They bought water heere, Rice, Lymons, Oranges, Citrons, Oxen, Goates, Hony, and such o­ther [Page 72] like things.

The same also we willing­ly would buy here.

Whence come you, and what are you?

We are good men arriued here from farre places.

What is your Countries name?

Our countrie is called Eng­land.

I must first goe vnto the King, and certifie him of your comming.

I will ioyne two men with you, who may speake with the King.

Doe as you please: but be­hold the King comming with his traine.

Is hee the King? I may therefore speake with him my selfe.

Who are you?

We are Merchants, arriued here to buy prouision of victuals, seeing we haue many sick men.

Goe too, here is prouision enough: but what merchandizes will you bartar for it?

VVee haue siluer, gold, cloathes, Corall, glasse-beades, blew, red, white, greene, blacke, ash colour, Copper, Iron, white lead, black lead and brasse.

Goe too, it is well. I will command my subiects that they [Page 73] sell you whatsoeuer you will, so that you be honest men.

Wee heartily thanke the King, we wil satisfie them for all, for we are Merchāts, not theeues, we will deceiue no man.

Three shippes were here, which did vs great hurt: for being brought hither in boates, they droue away ca [...]ell, and men cap­tiues, hauing burned their houses.

We are no such manner of men, we will trafficke in friendly manner with all men.

Goe too therefore (in the name of God) come with your ship▪ into this Bay, for here you shall haue good ground, not sto­nie, but consisting of sand and clay.

Wee will therefore come into this hauen, either this euen­ing, or to morrow, God willing.

Depart, God defend you and vs all from danger.

GOd saue you my friend.

And you likewise friend.

Haue you nothing that may serue my turne?

Who are you?

We are Germans, who wil­lingly would trade here.

What merchandizes doe you desire?

We desire Oxen, Goates, Rice, Milke, Hony, Oranges, Li­mons, Cinamom, Cloaues, and the leaues of Cloaues.

There is enough of those things here, chuse what you will.

For how much will you fell me this Oxe?

You shall pay me for him fiftie blew glasse-beades, three chaines of beades of a red co­lour, sixe kniues, and two elles of black cloath.

This is too much, I will not pay so much.

How much therefore?

I will giue you one ell of greene cloath, two ells of linnen cloath, three kniues, and one paire of sizzars.

This is little, I cannot sell it for so small a price, lest I incurre the displeasure of my master.

I will adde this looking glasse besides.

Giue me yet two tinne spoones, and I will giue you this measure of hony besides.

Take it therefore, but it is needfull that you binde the oxe well, lest he may escape away.

I will leade him into the boate, and will binde his feete to­gether, [Page 75] with a cord cast about his hornes.

Doe so, my companions shall helpe you. But when will you bring me Rice and Limons?

I will bring you daily what­soeuer you will.

Bring vs daily two mea­sures of milke, and three pots.

Well, in the name of the Lord, God preserue and defend you.

GOd giue you good day friend.

Whence come you so red, and full of sweate?

I will tell you this friend, I went out with our people into the wood, to kill some birds with a piece, but I went out of the way: wandring therfore, here & there, I seeke whether I could finde any mā that might shew me the way, for I would willinglie returne vnto the ships while it is yet. day.

You haue wandred too farre out of the way, and you cannot returne vnto the ships to day, for you are too sarre off from them.

I would not be absent from the ships by night, lest my com­panions might suspect that some danger had befalen me.

Tarrie with me this night, I will goe with you to morrow, and shew you the way.

I am exceeding thirstie and hungrie, for I haue wandred very long in the wood.

Come into this house with me, I will cause meate to be pre­pared for you, an henne to be kil­led, and rosted.

Reach me wine of the Palme that I may drinke, and a nut that I may eate.

Come, let vs goe to supper, for it is readie, and afterward we will goe to bed.

Sit, I pray you, I will pre­sently returne.

Powre out water to wash our hands. Eate, you eate no­thing, take some of this boyled henne, and of the broyled fishes.

I do nothing else but eate, for it is meate of a very pleasant taste.

It is well: (God blesse you) but drinke also of this burned wine.

I will doe it. But when shall wee goe to bed? for to mor­row [Page 73] wee must begin our iourney betimes.

When you please, your bed is ready.

Ho, friend, when doe wee arise? It is day.

It is too timely yet, you may yet sleepe an whole houre.

It pleaseth me not, it is time to rise.

It is well, I will come pre­sently.

What way shall we goe?

VVee must goe this way through the wood, for then wee shall come vnto a certaine Ri­uer, and hauing passed ouer it we shall come vnto a very high hill, ouer which we must also goe.

But doe there no theeues stay in this wood, who lie in wait for men?

Yea, for certaine enemies of ours vse sometimes to come hi­ther, who take trauellers, and spoyle them of their goods.

But, when we are come to the top of this hill, shall wee see the ships?

Yea, we shall presently see them, and then we must bend vn­to the right hand.

I see the shoare and the sea, I therefore reioyce, and hope that [Page 78] I shall shortly see the ships.

What reward shall I receiue, for that I haue brought you into the way?

I will satisfie you with a thankfull minde, when I come vnto the ships.

Goe too therefore, doe so, I will returne vnto you to morrow, for now I must goe home.

Goe in peace, God be with you.
