prynces besynes in the lowe countreys and also hosted both twayn in one house at Antwerpe told me On this wyse was his tale In the tyme of his beyng at Inde for certayne maters he had there of his prynce where he remayned by the space of certayne yeres one a very valyant man Lupus Soarez by the kynges commauÌ„dement was the chyefe capitayne of the Portyngales warres chyefe ruler of all the realmes cyttes townes and castelles that be vnder the kynge of Portyngales domynyon euen froÌ„ Ethiope thorough out the Chynas Thys Lupe had prepared hym a meruaylouse gret nauey to sayle as his auÌ„cetours were wont to do from Cochine now is Cochyne y e castel dwellyng place of the Portyngale captayns so intended to come to the see of Araby commenly called the redde see agaynste the Turke whyche Turke nowe in stede of the Soldayne occupies the couÌ„trey when he was arryued in a certayne Ile called of the inhabytours Camara that lyeth in that coste incontyneÌ„t he caused two shippes to be made redy and toke vn to hym a certayne chosen Portyngales bothe famylyar and faythfull amonges whome this George was one This done he commauÌ„ded they sholde caste ouer to a nother Ile called Mazua to the entent that when he were there ones he wolde send out thre espyes vnto the great emperour of prester IohnÌ„ vnder the pretext of marchauÌ„dyse that for two causes One to be certyfyed of the legacye wherof Mathew before shewed vnto our kynge and to knowe whether those thynges were trew or false Secondely that they very narrowly sholde serche what portes and what hauens were vnder the dominyon of Pester IohnÌ„ Of these .iii. spyes one was well lerned and very expert in scrypture whose name was Iusarte Viegas a Baccaren borne After they were ones saufe come home agayne bothe man shyppes to theyr capytayne and had made an ende of theyr vyage they shewed hym all both that they hadde sene there and also harde of the inhabytours of that countrey and further declared that they knewe for a suerty that the legacy of Mathew was trewe and that the same Mathewe they sayde was suche a one as we had sene hym with our owne eyen ones embassatour before our kynge The cause and maner of the legacye they say was sych After that Ellyn the mother of Dauid prester IohnÌ„ that then was a very wyse and a dyscrete gouernour of all his hole realme for he was but a chylde had lerned of certayne Portyngales whyche were come to her court specyally of one called IohnÌ„ Clerke all that euer we hadde done at Inde agaynste the infydeles she sendeth that Mathew in a secrete legacy vnto the most christyned prynce Emanuell the fyrste of that name kynge of Portyngale wyth whome she sendeth also a nother yonge man an Ebyssyne borne an noble man Iames by his name of whome byfore in the descrypcyon of the legacy we haue made mencyon To theym she gaue here letters of commendacyon dyrected to the hed ruler of that prouynce vnder the domynyon of prester IohnÌ„ whose powre stretcheth to Mazua and the see of Araby to pray hym to helpe them as secretely as he coulde with all such thynges as they shold nede makyng as though they were marchauÌ„t men which came thether for marchaundyse This ruler and who so euer happeneth to be in that offyce is called in the Ebessyne tonge Baruagays This Mathewe and his companyon the Ebyssyne through the letters of commendacy on they had were louiÌ„gly welcomed where as they made mery a certayne space neuer tellynge no man theyre purpose neyther what he wolde do there or where when he thens departed he wolde become But to the entent he myght brynge his purpose to passe wyth lesse parell fayned hym selfe a lether byer and in the meane season now and then bought certayn presents whych pryuyly he sent vnto quene Ellyn And vnder this cloke perused dyuers prouynces menyng this that escapynge saufe wythout hurte through enmyes of the Portingales at last myght come to Portyngale yt selfe and so there do the thynges he come for For other way then this was there not Alwaye whether so euer he went or where so euer he became he toke with hym this yonge man his felowe the Ebyssyne leuynge all his hole housholde at Arquyke whyche is a cytty nere the see coste appertaynyng to prester IohnÌ„ dystant about a myle from the yle of Mazua wherin that Baruagais before named then abode For it is euer the abydynge place of that offycer But nowe yf percase any capcyous felowe wolde obiecte why of so many noble men as there is no dout but there be in so great a court as prester IohnÌ„s is there were not sent in that embassate some oldermen men of more grauyte of greater experyeÌ„ce and bysydes this Ebyssyns borne whyche myght haue borne a greater porte and maieste before our prynce rather then these of whome the one was farre frome the nobilyte ether of an Ebyssyne or Indyane eyther bycause beyng an Armenycane and the other all though he was an Ebyssyne and in y e kynges court brought vppe yet but a yonge man an wythoute the company waytyng on hym y t becometh a prynces embassatour to haue and therby sheweth not the dygnyte of a legate But hereof may there be two causes alledged The fyrste in all those regyons as great as they be from the see of Araby to the water of Gange there be but two languages that is to wit Persyke and Arabyke whyche languages who so perfytely knoweth may easely passe thorough all those prouynces Nowe in Prester IohnÌ„s courte be there very fewe or none nobles Ebyssyns borne that can skyll of those tonges Fyrste bycause they haue lyttell coÌ„pany or acquayntauÌ„ce wyth the out borderars Secondely for that yt seldome causeth theym to go out of theyr owne countrey as beynge contente wyth theyre countrey lawes And for y t cause the same Mathew skylled in both the tonges and in all the prouynces there about for he hadde ofte ben in them and seyng that at that tyme all though he were an Armenyane yet he was of the quenys counsayll and very great about her he was thoughte the metyst for that message namely syns he hadde one ioyned wyth hym an Ebyssyne borne whyche both knewe the tonges and maners of many nacyons so that yf nede shold requyre he were mete to be sent on a lyke embassat The seconde cause is The actes of warre of the Portyngales done wyth the Indyans agaynst the Turkes or Persyes at that tyme was not so well knowen of the Ebyssyns that they thought it nedefull to veÌ„ter any old noble Ebyssyne specyally syns they were vnexperte in y e tonges in so farre and so dyffyculte a vyage tyll tyme they were farther certyfyed by some other And therfore pleased to sende that Mathew an Armenycane borne as moste meate for that besynes whyche not greatly accoÌ„panyed but as a marchaunt sholde go and

espye al to gether And that it so was ment the mater selfe shewed For after ones all was exactely tryed by hym there was then a nother embassatour sent both an old man a noble man an Ebissyne borne and a preste connyng both in scrypture and Calday on whome wayted a very great company of nobles of the Ebyssyns of themperours pÌ„ster IohnÌ„s courte And this maÌ„ was sent vnto the most myghty priÌ„ce one IohnÌ„ y e thyrd king of Portyngale For Emanuel that was his father departed almost .x. yeres ago This legate wyth all his coÌ„pany at this present day is wyth our kynge myche made on and hadde in great reuerence whome questyonlesse they wold neuer haue sent hadde they not ben afore surely certyfyed of our maters by Mathew But now we be a littell degressed therfore let vs agayn returne to our purpose This Mathew then vnder the pretexte of fayned marchaundyse after his beynge at many other cytyes resorted to Aden whych is a cytye by y e see of Arabye vnder the Turkes domynyon byelded euen as our cytyes be very ryche and very well fensyd wyth fortresses where after he hadde falleÌ„ in some familiare acqueyntauÌ„ce wyth certayne marchaunt men and hadde serched all thynge to the vtter moste and fynyshed the maters he came for makynge hym selfe euer amoÌ„gest y e Turkes a Turke for other wyse coulde he neuer haue escaped done his besynesse saufe without dauÌ„ger he returned to Arquique where before he had left his houshold wyth his companyon the Ebyssyne thus he remoued toke his houshold again and so retourned to Aden hopynge that from thens he myght sayle wyth his warys and his housholde to India For why at the towne of Aden they are wonte to take shippynge towarde India where when he was landed he sold al his lether bought other marchandyse of Alexandrye to cary wyth hym to Indy by whych he muste nedes passe into Portyngale Now was a shyppe redy goynge to Inde and he redy wyth all his marchandyse to go wyth that shyppe whyle there spronge a certayne suspycyon amonges the cetezyns of Aden that he sholde be a spye wheruppon he was taryed and let that he coulde not take passage at that season But he as one of a great wyt and experyence so clerely purged hym selfe of that suspycyon prouynge in dede he was a marchauÌ„t man and that there he soughte nothynge but marchaundyse that they gaue hym wyth hys housholde free pasporte to departe whether hym pleased But now then beynge dysmyssed he founde neuer a vessel goynge toward Inde Then he was fayn to hyer one so he with all his company toke shyppyng and came towarde Inde to a certayn noble ryche cytye called Xaer whych is dystant from Aden about a hundred myle where lykewyse he founde no shyppes goynge to Inde bycause y t nowe yt was wynter whyche there begynneth in Marche And whyle yt lasteth no man may saile toward Inde for the great stormes of wynde whyche is a meruaylous thynge y t contynually blows contrary oute of one quarter But when the sees serued hym he sayled from the cytye of Xaer vnto a towne called Fartaque there in euery place faynynge hym selfe a marchaunt of Turkey From whens he wente to a place called the inhabitours of Dabul from thens to departe to the town of Goa where theÌ„ wyntered the gret Alfonsus Dalbubarque a Portyngale the chyefe capytayne of all India predecessour vnto Lupus Soarez whom we haue made mencyon of byfore whych was he y e subdewed al that same Inde Araby Perse Malach and the hole see of Ganges and made all them subiectes to Portyngale Dabull is dystant from Fartaque whych is in the cost of Inde .iiii. hundred myle from Goa .xl. froÌ„ Dio .iii. score great myle Dio is a very ryche cytye vnder the domynyon of Cambaie very well fensed wyth gonnes and suche other ingens of warre and very well walled Furthermore he taried at Dabul from May to DeceÌ„ber and there occupied hym selfe about marchauÌ„dyse because in all that tyme he could not take shyppynge At laste he gate hym a smale vessell and beganne to gete hym away And by y e reason he shewed certayn of his frendes the mayster of the shyppe that he wolde go vnto Portyngale wyth his marchaundyse by and by yt was shewed to certayne hed offycers of the towne that there was a straunger one vnknoweÌ„ whyche pryuyly wolde conuey hym selfe to Portyngale wheruppon wottynge neuer what they shuld thynke of the mater they kept him styll with fayre wordes and so let hym of hys passage for y e season After he saw this incontyneÌ„t by certayn marchauÌ„t men whych were wonte to be coÌ„uersant in Inde with the Portyngales whyche he before hadde made hys frendes he wrote secretely vnto the capytayne Alfonsus Dalbuberque certifyeng hym as diligeÌ„tly as he could how it stode with him He as soone as he knew it sent thither certain shyppê and galleys some great some smale vnto hym Siluester Corzo was y e capitayn of them where wheÌ„ he was arryued strayt way he shewed the offycers of the town that he was sent vnto them from y e great duke Alfonsus Dulbuberque to seke a certayn marchaunt man whyche he muste nedes speke wyth all that the same Mathew was he whom he sought which knowen they gaue hym leue to speke wyth hym and so delyuered hym into his handes For this cause the Dabulenses vsed this liberalyte towarde hiÌ„ for fere they shold seme our opeÌ„ enimyes for as mych as they take mych profyte by our Portyngales whyche vse Goa Inde yet in place time wheÌ„ the may secretly do vs displease This Mathew then coÌ„uayde froÌ„ the citie of Dabull cam with this noble yong man y e Ebyssyne his felow al his famyly at y e last to Goa where as we before recyted y e noble capytayne Alfonsus then wintered wyth a gret number bothe of people nobles of the Portyngales There is bothe an ile also a citie of this name of Goa The citye I say as it is very riche so is yt also very habuÌ„dauÌ„t of all thyng that seruyth for the fyndyng of men In that dwelleth marchaunt men of all kyndes Indians Arabyes PersyaÌ„s wyth diuers of the realmes of Narsynga
