Holland junck in my abcense, Capt. Speck assuring them conveance. But
this day he sent them back againe, saying that they fownd them under
Albartus bed, whoe had forgotten them and left them behind hym. But
this is one of Specks tricks, whoe, out of dowbt, had opened them
before. But the worst is, Ed. Sayer and Jno. Osterwick were soe
unadvized that they noted in their letter how I sent 2 others per same
conveance, which I did per a Japon unknowne to the Hollanders, which I
dowbt now will be intercepted: which angereth me not a littell.

_December 5_ (_Shimutsque 21_), 1620.--I receved a letter from Cuemon
Dono, of Nangasaque, that he hath 60 beeves lying by hym, and our men
will not take them, for that they are leane; and therefore he would
have us to take 40 of the best and leave the rest, and would send them
by boate for Firando at his owne charges. But I retorned answer that,
yf his beefes hadd byn fatt and com in tyme, we had took all, and now
hadd taken pork of hym in place thereof, for that I could not meddell
in this matter to keepe leane beevs all winter, having neither
hayestack nor pasture.
_December 6_ (_Shimutsque 22_).--Mr. Wilkyn, a purcers mate of the
_James Royall_, having byn sick of a consumption a long tyme, departed
out of this world this night past, and was buried this day in our
ordenary buriall place. Capt. Pring, Capt. Adames, and many other
accompanied the corps to grave; and Mr. Copland, the preacher, made a
speech out of the chapter read in the buriall.
The King of Firando sent word he was lame of a legg, and therefore
could not goe abord the _James Royall_ to see her, as he desired, and
therfore thanked Capt. Pring for his love, wishing hym a prosperouse
voyage.
Also Capt. Pring, Capt. Adames, Capt. Lennis, with the ij preachers,
[Mr.] Browne, and my selfe, dyned abord the _Bull_, and had 5 peces
ordinance at our departure.
And I deliverd Mr. Robinson five R. of 8 to pay, when in England, to 113
my brother Walter Cocks.
_December 7_ (_Shimutsque 23_).--The _James Royall_ went out to Cochie
roade this day, but, waying ancor too sowne, was put to the northward
of Foynes Iland, and lost an ancor of 27 C. wight; and, yf she had not
quickly let fall an other, had byn in greate danger, the currant
driving her to windward, against the seyles and above 20 boates which
toed her to leeward. Yet, God be praised, the second ancor held and
staid her till tide turned. The Duch sent 4 barks to toe her out, and
I the lyke; and Capt. Spek and others came abord to bidd Capt. Pring
fare well.
_December 8_ (_Shimutsque 24_).--The Duch shippe _Trowe_ went out to
Cochie road this day; and I sent out 4 barkes to helpe to toe her, as
they did the like to the _James Royall_ yistarday.

that he was ready to rec. it. And Capt. Speck rec. another to same
effect. This Yasimon Dono offerd us 3-1/2 _condrins_ for a _cattie_,
which is 3-1/2 _tais_ per _pico_, not the money it cost in England.
And som speeches are geven out that our men above, at Edo, are kept 114
presoners. But I think it is a lie. Yet there weare the like reportes
the other day; which was occation I gave Capt. Pring councell to get
