He answered he knew not of any so turning to the Dutch admiral he maruailed he should giue credit to such vntruths reported by a slaue Hee answered againe such things were told but he did not beleeue them to be true So the Generall asked what he ment to do with the Portingales his prisoners He said he would hang them The Generall intreated him to shew them mercy considering they did nothing but what all good subiects are bound to doe in defence of their King and Country and therefore desired not to take their liues nor deliuer them to the King of Tarnata He promised at his intreaty not any one of them should die nor be deliuered to the King of Tarnata but that he would ship them away to Manallia The General gaue him thankes taking leaue of them and came rowing along the shore by the kings towne where he tooke in the Captain of the Fort brought him along with him aboard where he both supped and lodged and from him had the trueth of all the fight farre differing from that which the Hollanders reported The Generall told him his going to the Dutch Admirall was principally to intreat him to shew mercy vnto the Portingales which he promised to performe The Captaine gaue him great thanks for the care he had of them saying now all their hope rested vpon him and vpon the same hee presented the Generall with a small Ruby set in a ring praying him to weare it for his sake which the General would not take saying what he could doe for them was in Christian charity and not for reward The 10 day in the morning our Generall went aboard the Hollands Admirall to see if he could bring the King of Tarnata and the King of Tydore and the Hollanders to a peace The Dutch admirall made answer the King of Tarnata would bee very hardly drawne to any peace with the King of Tydore but he for his part would be willing thereunto and if it pleased the King of Tydore to repaire aboard his ship hee should safely come and go to haue conference with him The Generall thought he could perswade him to come aboord his owne shippe so that he would leaue two duch Captaines a shore in pledge for him But to come aboard his ship he was sure he would not So the Dutch Admiral sent two of his chiefe Marchants with the General to be left as pledges if the King would come aboard whereupon our Generall went to the king of Tydore and told him what he had done in his behalfe perswading him to come aboard our shippe which he was loath to yeeld to The Generall seeing him feareful told him there was no such cause for that he had brought two Dutch Captaines to remaine as pledges and that he would leaue his brother with them Then the King was willing and caused his own boate to be fitted imbarked himselfe Being ready to put off came the Kings sister and his son weeping as if he had gone to death detayned him in this manner halfe an houre In the end he put off but when he was halfe way betweene the shore and the ship he saw a Carricole rowing off from the Fort which he stood in feare of and would proceed no further but returned backe promising the next daye to come aboard if we would ride with our ship nearer his towne The 11. day in the morning we weighed and anchored againe before the Kings towne The General with his pledges going a shore there was an alarum in the town which was sodainly done the cause was that a great number of the Tarnataes had consorted to go robbe some out-houses in the Kings towne and finding nothing therein set them a fire The Tydorians gaue a sodaine assault vpon them and had the cutting off of a dozen of their heads all the rest hardly escaped by running away The heads they preseÌ„ted to the King our Generall standing by him telling him the cause The King seemed to be offended with the Hollanders which had promised that no hostility of warre should bee offered in this time of parlye The Hollands Captaines which were in our Pinnasse seeing the heads were in no small feare of their owne After the rumor was appeased the King imbarked himselfe with our Generall and the Captaine of the Fort. The Dutch Marchants and Captain Middleton rowed a shore for Pledges but the King and our Generall came aboard our ship where they stayed the comming of the Dutch Admirall who comming aboard was brought downe to the King in the Generalls cabbin and they saluted one the other very friendly After some little pause the King said whereas at your first comming hither you sent me word your comming was not to harme mee nor any of my subiects but to expell the Portingalls your enimies out of the land and make the place open for trade for al nations and therfore you desired I should not take with them against you which I performed till such time I did see my mortall enimy the King of Tarnata ioyne with you so that I was inforced to arme my selfe against him who I know desireth nothing so much as the ouerthrowe and subuertion of my estate and therefore you haue iust cause not to blame me for arming my selfe and people against the inuasion of my mottall enimy And now seeing you haue the vpper hand of your enimies the Portingalles it resteth in your power to dispose of them as you shall thinke good Now you haue your desire of them I would know whether you will haue peace or ioyne with the King of Tarnata against me The Dutch Admiral answered his coÌ„ming was only to expel the Portingals which he thaÌ„ked God was now in his power And for peace he said it was the thing he desired with al princes in those parts that he wold doe what in him did lie to make an agreement betweene the King of Tarnata him The King answered that he desired a good peace but it could hardly be for that any slight occasion was dayly cause of breach betweene theÌ„ Therfore he desired the HollaÌ„ders they wold take part with neither he doubted not he should haue as good as he brought The Admirall answered he would do what he could to make an agreement which if he could not bring to passe he promised the King taking our Generall to witnes that he would take part with neither of theÌ„ Which speeches greatly contented the King who excusing himselfe of not being well tooke leaue and went a shore After the King was gone came the Captaine of the Fort looking very heauilie as he had iust cause which the Dutch Admirall seeing tooke him by the hand bad him bee of good cheere telling him that it was the chance of war and that the fury being nowe gone he minded to deale friendly with him and all the Portingals Willing him to repaire aboard where he should be welcome and safely go and come The Captain gaue him thanks for
