DOMINGO where the Gouernor and the Bishop with all the better sort were lodged and by eight of the clocke we came to it finding the place abandoned the people fled into the mountaines so we made stande a while to ease our selues and partly to see if any would come to speake to vs. After we had well rested our selues the Generall commaunded the troupes to march away homewardes in which retreat the enemy shewed them selues both horse foote though not such force as durst encounter vs and so in passing some time at the gase with them it waxed late and towards night before we could recouer home to S. IAGO On Munday the six twentieth of Nouember the Generall commanded all the Pinnaces with the boates to vse all diligence to imbarke the Armie into such ships as euery man belonged The Lieutenant generall in like sort commaunded Captaine Goring and Lieutenant Tucker with one hundred shot to make a stand in the market place vntill our forces were wholly imbarked the Vizeadmirall making stay with his Pinnace and certaine boates in the harbour to bring the sayd last company aboord the ships Also the Generall willed foorthwith the Gallie with two Pinnaces to take into thē the company of Captaine Barton and the company of Captaine Bigs vnder the leading of Captaine Sampson to seeke out such munition as was hidden in the ground at the towne of PRAY or PLAY hauing beene promised to be shewed it by a prisoner which was taken the day before The Captaines aforesaid comming to the PLAY landed their men and hauing placed the troupe in their best strength Captaine Sampson tooke the prisoner and willed him to shewe that he had promised ●he which he could not or at least would not but they searching all suspected places found two pieces of ordinance one of yron an other of brasse In the afternoone the Generall anckered the rest of the Fleete before the PLAY comming him selfe a shore willing vs to burne the towne and make all haste a boorde the which was done by sixe of the clocke the same day and our selues imbarked againe the same night and so we put off to sea Southwest But before our departure from the towne of S. IAGO we established orders for the better gouernment of the armie euery man mustered to his Captaine and othes ministred to acknowledge her Maiestie supreame Gouernour as also euery man to do his vttermost endeuour to aduaunce the seruice of the action and to yeeld due obedience vnto the directions of the Generall and his officers By this prouident counsell and laying downe this good foundation before hand all things went forward in a due course to the atchiuing of our happie enterprise In all the time of
