to write hym a letter in Spanish, the coppie wherof I have extant, in
which I advized that I marveld much he medled in my howsehould
affares, braging that nothing could be donne but he knew it within
xxiiij howrs after, esteeming me a hasty, furious, and he might as
well have said, a madd man, doing all thinges on spleene without
councell. Unto which I answerd that I desyred to know my accusers,
which yf he did not manifest, and that yf any man went upon spleene or
ill will to geve out or speake such ill and falce reportes of me, that
he or they lied in their throtes. And whereas he said he sat still in
his howse and said nothing tuching thenglish nation, my answer was,
they hadd not geven hym nor them any occation hitherto, nether in
taking of shipping, killing of men, and robing them of their goodes.
And, yf I spoke ill of their generall, I did it upon a good grownd,
holding hym as an enemy to my soverigne lord the Kinges Matie. of
England and his estate in taking of shiping, killing his Matis.
subjectes, and bereving them of their goodes. And as tuching his
thretnyng speeches, I did not well understand his meanyng, but gave
hym to understand I did nether feare his wordes nor weapons.
He also sent me word that I might make what hast I would to themperour 69
to make complaint, and that he would follow after at his leasure, and
that I could doe nothing till he came. Unto which I answerd in my
letter that I went not up to themperour to demand restetution of shipp
nor goodes, for I was assured to have satisfaction in England, and
therefore he was deceaved in that matter, and might ether goe up or
tarry at home yf he list.
_August 19._--I receved a letter from Capt. Adams dated the 13th
present, at a place 10 leagues beyond Camyna Seke, wherin he writes me
of the wrack of many barkes, and that the governors bark of provition
is all cast over bord but one peece of ordinance. And that Touan Dono
hath lost his processe, all his goodes confiscat, and his lyfe at
Emperours pleasure. Also that a China bark or junk arived in Xaxma
with much silk, which he had taken from other Chinas and sould it at
Miaco for 220 _tais_ the _pico_; but themperour, coming to know they
are theeves, hath geven them into the handes of other Chinas, to have
the goods retorned to whome they belong, and execution to be donne
upon the offenders.
And this day news is com from Capt. Whow that it is not Niquans junk
which is cast away, but an other, smaller, of not halfe themportance,
but belonging to same owners.
Alexander, a Scotsman in the Duch shipps, gave me 6 China picturs of
saynts and our Lady, paynted upon bras leaves.
_August 21._--Icana Came came to vizet me and take leave as he said, I
being ready to goe up, and wished me to take good councell in my
proceadinges against the Hollanders, and that he knew the King of
Firando would assist me therin in all he could.
_August 22._--Tonomon Samma, the kinges brother, sent me his letter
for the king his brother. And divers others came to vizet me and wish
me a good voyage.
_August 23._--We set forward on our voyag towardes Edo this mornyng 70
about 6 a clock in the mornynge, and at night came to an anker at
Languay, the farther towne, 13 leagues from Firando.
_August 24._--We departed from Languay about midnight, and at nowne
this day came to an ancor at the iland of Anushma[19] in Faccatay, and
there remayned all the rest of day and night following, wind being a
stiff gale at N.E., the sea going hie. We la on shore all night, and
gave to the howse xij _mas_, having made hitherto 22 leagues.
[19] Aishima.
_August 25._--We departed in the mornying from Anushma to a port on
the maine of Faccata, called Chuiasaquy,[20] 3 leagues from Anushma,
and 19 to short of Shimnaseaque. Here we understood of a small China
junck which was entred into a port of Faccatay, 4 leagues hence,
called Ginushma, being driven thither per contrary windes, but bound
for Firando, laden with suger, purselon, and other matters. But the
_Tono_ of Faccata will not let her goe for Firando, but discharg and
sell her goodes there.
[20] Tsuyasaki. In the margin is also added the name, Wattary.
_August 27._--I was enformed this day that the China junk which was at
Ginushma, 3 leagues hence, was one of the 3 which the Hollanders took
and put their men into. These Chinas, having lost the sight of the
Holland shippe, made the 7 Hollanders drunk that were put into the
junk, and then cut their throtes; but, the wind being contrary, they
could not retorne for China, but passed by Firando and soe put into
Faccatay, where they staid not longe but put to sea againe, thinking
them selves to neare Firando, where the Hollanders are; and are gone,
as the report is, to a harbor on the north part of Japan, called
Quitamare. Some are of opinion that the junk which put into the back
side of Xaxma or Bongo, whome went to Miaco to sell their silke, was
lykwais one of them, although it were geven out they were theeves and 71
had stolne that silk and goodes from their owne cuntremen.
_August 28._--This day being a festivall day, our host of Wattary (we
lying ashore) envited us to dynner at his owne charge.
_August 29._--The _bongew_ of Faccata envited us to dyner, and sent me
word he was sorry he was out of the place when we arived, otherwais
that we should have lodged in his howse. Soe with thadviz of Mr.
Nelson we sent hym a present of a peece of damask and a bottell of
annise water.
And within night, the wind coming sotherly, we waid ancor and put to
sea from Watary, and paid out in howse where we la these 5 dais,
viz.:--
1 bar plate to good man howse 2 3 0
And 1 peece green taffety
And to his wife, in small plate 0 3 0

And to his servantes 0 2 0
_August 30._--We arived at Shimenasek this day, about 3 a clock in
thafter nowne, having made 20 leagues. Here our host tould me that
Leon overtook Capt. Adames before he arived at Osakay, and that the
bark Leon went in retorned back per this place 5 daies past, and is
gon for Firando, and that the marrenars tould hym Capt. Adames ment to
stay for me at Miaco, which God grant.
Our host tould me that, before the Hollanders went from this place,
there were Japons which brought hym newes how the Hollanders had taken
5 English shipps, 1 of which they had brought into Firando without any
Englishmen in her, unto which Capt. Adames said littell, nether tould
the Hollanders what the others said unto hym; but that was all one,
for one of the Hollanders spoke the Japon tonge.
_September 1._--I receved a letter from Capt. Adames, in answer of
myne sent hym per Leon thexpres, whome he retorned back unto me with
such an unsezonable and unresonable letter as I littell suspected he 72
would have done, saying he was non of the Companies servant, and is,
as it seemeth, altogether Holandized, perswading me not to goe up
about this matter.
_September 3._--We departed from Shimina Seak this day in the mornyng,
and paid out to our host, viz.:--

made 7 leagues, rowing in raynie wether against the wind.
Certen Chinas came to vizet me heare and sent letters by me for Edo,
telling me that now they knew well Hollanders theevs and Englishmen
trew men and ther frendes.
_September 7._--The wind being contrary, I sent away an expres, Leon,
with letters to Capt. Adames, as Mr. Nealson did the lyke, to perswade
hym from the accompanying the Hollanders, yf it be possible. I also
sent other 2 letters in Japons to the King of Firando and Cacayemon
Dono, secretary to Oyen Samma.
We departed from Bingana Tomo against the wind, and rowed it up to an
iland 3 leagues offe, where we came to an ancor, the wind encreasing.
Iland called Sherais.

_September 9._--We came to an ancor towardes night at a towne called
Moro, 30 leages short of Miaco, and stayed the tide; and soe put to
sea againe and made 22 leagues till mornyng at son rising. There was
500 barkes at Moro alltogether put to sea towardes Miaco, som of them
having staid there 20 daies for a wynd.
_September 10._--We arived at Osakay late at night, having made this
day 20 leagues.
At my coming to this place I fownd Leon, the expres I sent from
Bingana Tomo, not yet departed, nether had Grubstreet our host sent
away my other letter which came from Firando per conveance of our
hostis at Bingana Tono; which gave me small content. Yet in the end I
perceved per Grubstreet that Capt. Adames had tould hym I had no
reason to complaine against the Hollanders as I did, which was the
occation he sent not that letter after hym. Soe here I wrot an other
letter to Capt. Adames, and sent both it and the rest per post after
Capt. Adames.
_September 11._--Tozoyemon Donos wife of Sakay sent me a _sesto_[23]
(or basket) of Japon figges and peares, and an other _sesto_ of lyke

[23] Span.: _cesta_.
_September 12._--I forgot to note downe that yisterday Mr. Nelson went 74
to Croby Dono, Capt. Adames host, and took a note of all the goodes
Capt. Adams wife or Neamon Dono had sent from Edo, to thentent we
might better recon with them at our coming to Edo.

And to the secretary:--
ij peces damask, at 6 _tais_ peece.
And j pec. rich taffety, as good as the rest.
But going to the castell to deliver it, we had answer that the
governor slept and the secretary was biden out to a banket. So we
retorned without doing anything.
I am of opinion our host Grubstreet doth play the gemeny, and per
instigation of Capt. Adames, both taking the Hollanders partes for
lucar. Yf it be proved soe, God reward them according to their
deservinges, and God deliver us from frendly secret fowes.
_September 14._--We set forwardes towardes Miaco this morning.
I gave our hostis ij pickturs and ij musk coddes; and to Woman Dono 1

the pagod, or monument, erected in remembrance of Ogosho Samma, the
last Emperour, which, in my opinion, is the most magnificent peece of
work which I have seene in Japon, both for the greatenesse and
workmanship. And their is 300 _boze_ (or pagon pristes) have alowance
and mentaynance for eaver to pray for his sole, in the same sort as
munkes and fryres use to doe amongst the Roman papistes, and have
their lodginges and buildinges about it in most sumtuouse sort, with a

to be the comune theevs of all the world. "But", said he, "yow doe
well to make the truth knowne, and your writing is well framed. Soe
yow need not dowbt but themperours councell will geve eare unto yow."

_October 5._--I went to vizet the King of Firando, and delivered hym
the letters I brought from his brother, and carid hym a present, viz.
2 _tatta._ of murrey cloth, 1 muskovie hide, 3 peeces damask; and to
his brother 2 peeces of damask.
And I shewed the information to the _Tono_ of Firando that I ment to
put up to the Emperour against the Hollanders, which he read over with
silence, and then called Torazemon Dono to see it; whoe having read it
over, looked somthing sowerly on the matter, for he was allwais a
great frend to Hollanders.
