TO THE READER HAving already endeavoured to Inform my Countreymen of the Grandeur of the English Monarchy by giving them an Account of the Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland and likewise of his Majestys Dominions in America the acceptance they met with hath incouraged me to discover to them what many have only heard of by discourse namely the English Acquisitions in the 2 other Quarters of the VVorld Africa and Asia In the first the Royal African Company being by their Charter from King Charles 2d dated January 2. 1662. Incorporated the Limits of their Trade were from Sally in South Barbary to the Cape of Good Hope In which large Tract of Land they have Erected several Forts Factories and Settlements for securing their Commerce which is very considerable in those Parts In Asia the English began their Discoveries just an hundred years since in 1600. under Sr. James Lancaster with 4 Ships only And soon after the Industry of others had such success that the Merchants Trading thither were likewise Incorporated by Charter This Honourable East-India Company by the prudent management of their affairs setled Forts and Factorys in Twenty four several noted Places Of which our unkind Neighbours deprived us of some and others were Deserted for Conveniency the names of those abandoned are as follows Ormus and Jasques in the Persian Gulf. Cambaja and Agra in the Great Mogols Countrey Armagon Pattana and Siatu on the Coast of Coromandell and Continent of Asia Ticko Jambo Prianan on the Isle of Sumatra Bantam Jaccatra and Japarra on the Isle of Jara Socodona and Bornermasa on the Island Borneo Macassar on the Isle of Celebs Polleroon in the Isle of Banda Firando in Japan Amboina Hitto and other Molucco Islands So that now the English possess only those mentioned in the Title Page the Account of all those Places with the Religion Government and Manners of the Inhabitants and the Strange Creatures therein cannot but be diverting I have also given a brief Description of the Isle of St. Helena and the wonderful Voyage from thence of Don Domingo Gonsales the Little Spaniard which ingenious and well contrived Fancy would have been lost if not here retreived These with many other pleasant Relations therein will I hope procure as fair Quarter for this as those formerly published have met with from the Friends of R.

Latitude to Cape Consalvo in the first Degree of South Latitude The Portugals were the first that ranged this Shore and having Intelligence of the Commodities and manner of Trading the Natives by fair means and force got footing on the Sea-coasts building Forts and placing Garrisons and Factories in several places and found such a Golden Trade that they called some Coasts thereof by that name This was an inducement as what will not Gold attract to their further search all along to the Cape of Good Hope and thereby consequently to the East-Indies The fair quarter and usage the Inhabitants received from the Portugals already setled there incouraged them to exchange their Commodities which Trade according to the Custom of that Kingdom was maintained by Factors upon the King of Portugals particular account in every Port and Town as if he intended the profits of Merchandizing should defray the charges of his Conquests and Garrisons furnishing the Natives with Salt Iron Tin Copper Basons Knives Cloth Linnen and other European Goods and receiving in exchange Cattle Corn Rice and the like but chiefly Gold in great abundance both in Sand and melted Ingots which gave Life and Briskness to the further Discovery of those Countreys and continuance of that Trade to this day though not so considerable as formerly The English and other Nations desirous to share in this Rich Trade in short time Sailed thither and because they had no Forts to Protect their Persons and Goods from the Portugals and treachery of the Inhabitants they were compelled to Anchor along the Coasts near the greatest Towns and signifying to the Negroes what Wares they had brought by their plausible demeanor they at length imboldened them to come aboard their Ships and bring their Gold the manner of which Trade was very different from that of any other Countrey For betimes in the Morning the wind being then generally off the Shore and the weather calm the Natives came aboard in their Canoes and Scu●…es to Traffique some for themselves and some as Factors for others carrying at their Girdles a Purse wherein were several small Clouts or Papers containing the Gold belonging sometimes to ten several Men which though all of the same weight and goodness yet they readily distinguisht and having made their bargains for Cloth Linnen or the like at Noon they return'd with the Seabrize again to the Shore and beside the agreement these Factors had some small thing for themselves in reward for their Brokage but in process of time the Hollanders frequenting these Coasts and being well acquainted with the manner of the English Traffique and coming into the same places where the English Traded and were known they soon spoiled this Golden Trade by their sinister and indirect dealing for Anchoring with the English whom they found to have a better Trade than themselves they
