triumpheth and because it is worthy of the noting I think it méet to writ therof which is as followeth The king rideth on a triumphing Cart or Wagon all guilded which is drawn by sixteen goodly horses this Cart is very high with a goodly canapie ouer it behind the Cart goeth twenty of his Lordes Nobles with euerie one a rope in his hand made fast to the Cart for to holde it vpright that it fal not The King sitteth in the middle of the cart and vpon the same Carte about the King standeth fowre of his Nobles most fauoured of him and before this Carte wherein the King is goeth all his armie as aforesaide and in the middle of his armie goeth all his Nobilitie rounde about the Cart that are in his dominions a meruellous thing to sée so many people such riches and such good order in a people so barberous as they bee This King of Pegu hath one principall wife which is kept in a Seralyo he hath thrée hundreth Cōcubines of whō it is reported that hee hath ninetie Children This King sitteth euerie day in person to heare the suites of his Combacts but he nor they neuer speake one to another but by supplications made in this order The King sitteth vp alost in a great hall on a tribunall seate and lower vnder him sitteth all his Barons rounde about then those that demaunde audience enter into a great Court before the King and there set them downe on the grounde fortie paces distant from the Kinges person and amongst those people there is no difference in matters of audience before the King but all alike and there they sitte with their supplications in their handes which are made of long leaues of a Trée these leaues are thrée quarters of a yarde longe and two fingers broade which are written with a sharpe yron made for that purpose and in those leaues are their supplications written and with theire supplications they haue in their handes a present or gift according to the waightinesse of their matter Then come the secretaries downe and read these supplications and then take them after and reade them before the King and if the King thinke it good to doe to them that fauour or iustice that they demaund then hee commaundeth to take the present out of his hand but and if he thinke their demaunde bee not iustly or according to right hee commaundeth them away without taking of their giftes or presents In the Indies there is not any merchandise that is good to bring to Pegu vnlesse it bee at some times by chance to bring at sometimes Opium of Cambaia and if he bring monie he shall lose by it Nowe the commodities that come from S. Tome are the onely Merchandice for that place which is the great quantitie of cloth made there which they vse in Pegu which cloth is made of bombast wouen and painted so that the more that kinde of cloth is washed the more linelier they shewe their colours which is a rare thing and there is made of this kind of cloth which is of great importance so that a small bale of it will cost a thousande or two thousande Duckets Also from S. Tome they layde great store of red yarne of Bombast died with a roote which they call Saia as aforesaide which colour will neuer out With which merchandise euerie yere there goeth a great Ship from S. Tome to Pegu of great importance and they vsually depart from S. Tome to Pegu the 10. or 11. of September and if shee stay vntill the twelfth it is a great hap if she returne not without making of her voyage Their vse was to depart the sixt of September and then they made sure voiages and now because ther is great labour about that kinde of cloth to bring it to perfection and that it be well dried as also the gréedinesse of the captain that would make an extraordinarie gain of his fraight thinking to haue the winde alwayes to serue their turn they stay so long that at sometimes the Winde turneth For in those parts the windes blowe firmely For certaine times with the which they goe to Pegu with the winde in powpe and if they ariue not there before the Winde chaunge and get ground to anker perforce they must return back again for that the gales of the winde blow there for thrée or fowre moneths together alwayes in one place with great force But if they get the coast and anker there then with greate labor he may saue his voyage Also ther goeth another great Ship from Bengala euery yere laden with fine cloth of bombast of al sorts which ariueth in the harbour of Pegu when y e ship y ● commeth from S.
