produce_v any_o example_n herewith_o i_o will_v conclude_v my_o answer_n to_o the_o first_o question_n and_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o and_o have_v satisfy_v you_o therein_o i_o will_v make_v a_o final_a resolution_n of_o they_o both_o the_o second_o question_n for_o that_o we_o have_v no_o town_n nor_o fort_n in_o west_n india_n land_n the_o spaniard_n for_o the_o space_n of_o a_o hundred_o year_n at_o the_o least_o have_v have_v &_o inhabit_v the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o country_n and_o the_o have_v there_o where_o they_o trade_n with_o the_o indian_n that_o now_o be_v leave_v therein_o to_o their_o great_a profit_n and_o advantage_n it_o be_v therefore_o out_o of_o hope_n and_o no_o appearance_n at_o all_o that_o our_o west_n indian_a company_n shall_v be_v able_a with_o any_o advantage_n to_o trade_n there_o against_o the_o enemy_n will_n because_o some_o man_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o most_o difficulty_n will_v consist_v in_o the_o erect_n of_o certain_a

for_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n will_v not_o cease_v by_o all_o the_o mean_n he_o can_v to_o let_v and_o hinder_v the_o same_o and_o those_o that_o live_v secure_o here_o will_v also_o be_v doubtful_a to_o trust_v their_o money_n out_o in_o strange_a element_n where_o the_o wind_n blow_v it_o away_o and_o where_o man_n shall_v not_o in_o long_a time_n hear_v of_o it_o again_o answer_n i_o assure_v myself_o when_o you_o shall_v have_v read_v my_o letter_n you_o will_v not_o be_v doubtful_a as_o you_o make_v show_v of_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o spare_v to_o put_v you_o out_o of_o that_o scruple_n and_o also_o to_o take_v the_o like_a away_o from_o other_o when_o we_o in_o anno_fw-la 1594._o resolve_v in_o the_o year_n ensue_v with_o a_o small_a fleet_n as_o aforesaid_a to_o sail_v into_o the_o east_n indies_n we_o then_o have_v no_o sort_n nor_o friend_n in_o those_o country_n nevertheless_o the_o portugal_n then_o inhabit_v and_o have_v strong_a town_n and_o fort_n therein_o and_o far_o surpass_v our_o power_n for_o quantity_n of_o ship_n yet_o we_o then_o begin_v in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o trade_n there_o and_o notwithstanding_o the_o same_o the_o next_o year_n with_o good_a success_n continue_v it_o which_o we_o must_v praise_v god_n for_o until_o the_o year_n of_o our_o lord_n 1605._o and_o then_o obtain_v a_o licence_n of_o the_o state_n to_o erect_v a_o

do_v wonder_v in_o my_o former_a answer_n i_o have_v already_o partly_o declare_v whereby_o the_o spanish_a trade_n there_o by_o our_o trade_n at_o this_o present_a be_v much_o decrease_v whereto_o the_o contrary_a we_o yearly_a increase_v and_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o at_o last_o they_o may_v be_v drive_v out_o of_o the_o moluckoe_n land_n where_o the_o clove_n and_o nutmeg_n grow_v and_o where_o they_o get_v little_a or_o no_o advantage_n be_v so_o much_o hinder_v by_o us._n now_o i_o will_v speak_v of_o guinea_n where_o also_o at_o the_o first_o we_o have_v not_o one_o foot_n of_o

in_o they_o that_o in_o time_n of_o war_n we_o deal_v there_o for_o about_o 12._o ton_n of_o gold_n likewise_o at_o punckle_n del_fw-it rey_n in_o the_o west_n indies_n we_o sail_v southward_o with_o
