shewed us the preparatives made for the buriall of the ould _dyrie_
(or pope) of Japon, viz.:--In one howse was set a rood or shrine of
marvelose lardgnes, with, to my thinking, 100 pillers gilded over
with gould, with each of them a gilded crowne on the top of them, and
rownd about the howse, against the pillers, a gilded skuchin hanged
up, which, as I learned, represented all the provinces or kingdoms in
Japon, over which he houldeth hym selfe king of kings. Also against
each piller stood a candelstick with a wax taper. But yow must
understand there was an other howse, built highe and 4 square, not far
from this first with the shrine, in the midest wherof was a dipe hole
very fairely plastered, over which a greate vessell of wood was to be
placed, wherin the body of the _dirie_ was to be put, and the valt
under filled with sweete odors and pretious woods, which being set on
fire burne the vessells, corps, howse, and all the rest; with 4 gates
made E., W., N., and S., walled about a pretty distance from the howse,
all being hanged about with white silk which was to be consumed with
the rest.
The greate wooden vessell I saw in a pagod not far from the place
wheare the body was to be burned, which pagod was fownded per the said
_daire_. The vessell in forme was made lyke a lantarne, set out with
pinacles of excellent workmanship, all being gilded over with gould.
The top of the howse where he was to be burned was painted with the
formes of angells, som with instrumentes of musick and others with
garlandes, as it were to crowne hym. And they verely think that, when
the body is consumed, the sole flieth directly for heaven, haveing
liberty to passe out at any of the 4 gates, eather E., W., N., or S.

Mr. Eaton tells me that a Spaniard called Miguell de Salines would have
taken away our caffro Antony, set free per King of Firando, geving out
great wordes that he would spend 4000 _taies_ but he would have hym.
But Mr. Eaton tould hym his wordes would not prevaile, and therefore
wished hym to com to me and aske hym, otherwais he had nothing to say
to hym.
I, upon good consyderation, let the China Capt. and his brother, Capt.
Whow, have our 2 lesser bras fowlers with their 4 chambers.
