is a generall title of honour the next to the Dairi and hauing subiected Iapon minded to conquer China by the way of Corai The King of Corai sent his Embassadour to him with three hundred attendants in vaine he minding to send and place in those new Conquests all the suspected Princes of Iapan and to eternize his owne name being exceeding vain-glorious He tooke from the Bonzi their Lands and after that making ditches round about Meaco hee forced them all to dwell together neere the said ditches which reducing their discrepant Sects to an vnformed Chaos together made many of them forsake their profession Hee enioyed euery foot of Land in Iapon gaue or remoued or depriued Kings at pleasure tooke away all Armes from the Rustikes forbad all contentions and fights vpon paine of death if any guilty hereof fled punishing the kindred or seruants or neighbours crucifying them He administred iustice very seuerely without partiality or pardoning any man and had almost put to death the Meacon Bonzi for their Concubines if the Gouernour of Meaco had not interposed and vndertaken their amendment Hee neuer suffered the Souldiers to be idle but vsed them in warres or buildings The Vice-roy sent him an Embassage and Presents the foure Iaponian Lords which had beene in Europe attending Valignanus the Embassadour Quabacondono would needs heare these Iaponians play Europaean Musicke which they had there learned and made great shewes of kindnesse to them all and sent this Letter with Presents to the Vice-roy Sir I haue receiued Letters which your Lordship from so remote Regions sent mee in opening and reading whereof I seemed to see the length of the leagues by land and sea This Kingdome of Iapon as you wrote contayneth aboue sixtie States or Iurisdictions in which before haue beene great disorders and warres no peace nor quiet For many wicked men Traitors to their Countrey conspired to denye obedience to their King a thing which from my youth hath vexed me And long since I bethought mee of a course to subiect this People and to pacifie the whole Kingdome and layed for a foundation three vertues to wit Gentlenesse and affabilitie of speech in conuersing with men Prudence in considerate iudging of things and egregious fortitude and courage of minde by the aide whereof I haue subdued all this Nation and haue brought all the Kingdomes into this forme of one Empire wicked men being extinct and worke-men which labour in the fields promoted And I haue so restored peace and quietnesse to these Kingdomes and in few yeeres haue so setled and stablished the Monarchie of Iapon that it is now like a great Rocke which cannot be remoued Whence it is come to passe that in all foure parts of the Kingdome they haue a King eminent in much wisedome and the King likewise hath all of them obedient And in this order I haue declared and exercised the power of a good Captaine to whom these Kingdomes are subiect by taking away the wicked and rooting out all Robbers by sea and land So the people families and all places of the Kingdome enioy maruellous quiet I haue also determined to invade the Kingdome of China and in few dayes I will take ship and doubt not of victorie When I shall possesse it your Lordship may more easily communicate with mee in all things Now concerning the Fathers Iapon is the Kingdome of Chamis whom wee hold to be the same with Scin which is the beginning of all things This Scin is the substance and the very being of all things and all things are one and the same with Scin and into Scin are resolued Who in Scina is called Iutto and in Tescincu Buppo Further in the obseruation of the Lawes of this Chamis consisteth all the Politicall gouernment of Iapon which being neglected there is no difference betwixt Lords and Subiects if it be kept the vnion and concord is perfected which ought to bee twixt the Father and Sonne the Husband and wife Therefore the whole both internall and externall gouernment of Men and Kingdomes is placed in the conseruation of this vnion and policie Now the Fathers formerly haue entred these Kingdomes to preach another Law for the sauing of men but because wee are instructed and settled in the Lawes of Chamis we desire no other Law for the diuersities of Lawes and opinions are hurtfull and preiudiciall to the Kingdome Wherefore I commanded the Fathers to depart out of Iapon and haue forbidden them to preach their Law nor will I that heereafter they preach any new Law in this Kingdome Although these things be so yet I greatly desire that a stable communication may remayne betwixt vs for so this Kingdome shall bee free from Theeues by Land and Sea And I giue leaue to all Merchants which bring merchandise to sell them all without let I desire your Lordship to approue the same I receiued all the gifts which you sent out of those Southerne parts as it is written in your Letters I likewise send some others out of these Kingdomes with a memoriall of the gifts and the names of them which haue giuen The Legate will declare the rest wherefore I will bee no longer Dated 20. yeere of Tenscij 25. of the seuenth Moone In the end was the Seale and Subscription It was written in a leafe eight palmes long foure broad painted with golden Flowers and put in a red silke bagge wrought with Gold and siluer and that inclosed after the Iapon manner in a Boxe which for the price and workmanship was so admirable that the subtiltie and excellence of the worke might amaze all Europeans Within it was couered and without with Vrosci made of Gold beaten into powder distinguished with Flowers of Gold and Siluer so inserted in the Vrosci that none could discerne the coniunction but he which knew the making of the Boxe It had also Roses and gold Chaines to tye the Boxe which Boxe was put into another Bag and that into another Boxe very artificiall The gifts were Armours Armes and other things very precious He assembled his Lords about this China Warre which durst not expresse any other opinion hee hauing protested that hee would not heare his Sonne disswade him if he were aliue againe and if any should hinder him it should cost him his life Thus for some moneths space nothing might be seene else but prouision for Ships Armes Munitions and necessaries for the Warre Hee made a Catalogue of all his Lords exempting none from the expedition and setting euery one his number of followers To Augustine a Christian Lord hee gaue the fauour of first impression into Corai other Lords staying still at Suscima eighteene leagues distant Corai is adioyning to the Continent of China at one end

brought to an end To the which end Cicero wisely saith God hath giuen vs some things and not all things that our Successors also might haue some-what to doe Therefore we must not leaue off nor stay our pretence in the middle of our proceedings as long as there is any commoditie to be hoped and in time to bee obtayned for that the greatest and richest Treasures are hardliest to be found I thought good to set downe in regard that I haue vndertaken to describe the three Voyages made into the North Seas in three yeeres one after the other behind Norwary and along and about Muscouia towards the Kingdome of Cathaia and China whereof the two last I my selfe holpe to effect and yet brought them not to the desired end that we well hoped First to shew our diligent and most toylesome labour and paines taken to find out the right course which we could not bring to passe as wee well hoped wished and desired and possible might haue found it by crossing the Seas if we had taken the right course if the Ice the shortnesse of time and bad crosses had not hindered vs. We haue assuredly found that the onely and most hinderance to our Voyage was the Ice that we found about Noua Zembla vnder 73.74.75 and 76. degrees and not so much vpon the Sea betweene both the Lands whereby it appeareth that not the neerenesse of the North-pole but the Ice that commeth in and out from the Tartarian Sea about Noua Zembla caused vs to feele the greatest cold Therefore in regard that the neerenesse of the Pole was not the cause of the great cold that wee felt if wee had had the meanes to haue held our appointed and intended course into the North-east we had peraduenture found some entrance which course wee could not hold from Noua Zembla because that there we entred amongst great store of Ice and how it was about Noua Zembla we could not tel before we had sought it and when we had sought it we could not then alter our course although also it is vncertayn what we should haue done if we had continued in our North-east course because it is not yet found out But it is true that in the Countrey lying vnder 80. degrees which we esteeme to be Greenland there is both Leaues and Grasse to be seene Wherein such Beasts as feed of Leaues and Grasse as Harts Hinds and such like beasts liue whereas to the contrary in Noua Zembla there groweth neyther Leaues nor Grasse and there are no beasts therein but such as eate flesh as Beares and Foxes c. Although Noua Zembla lyeth 4.5 and 6. degrees more Southerly from the Pole then the other Land aforesaid It is also manifest that vpon the South and North-side of the Line of the Sunne on both sides betweene both the Tropicks vnder 23. degrees and an halfe yet it is as hot as it is right vnder the Line What wonder then should it be that about the North-pole also and as many degrees on both sides it should not be colder then right vnder the Pole It was not the Sea nor the neerenesse vnto the Pole but the Ice about the Land that let and hindered vs as I said before for that assoone as we made from the Land and put more into the Sea although it was much further Northward presently we felt more warmth and in that opinion our Pilot William Barents dyed who notwithstanding the fearefull and intolerable cold that he indured yet he was not discouraged but offered to lay wagers with diuers of vs that by Gods helpe hee would bring that pretended Voyage to an end if he held his course North-east from the North Cape But I will leaue that and shew you of the three Voyages aforesaid begunne and set forth by the permission and furtherance of the Generall States of the vnited Prouinces and of Prince Maurice as Admirall of the Sea and the rich Towne of Amsterdam First you must vnderstand that in Anno 1594. there was foure ships set forth out of the vnited Prouinces whereof two were of Amsterdam one of Zelandt and one of Enckhuysen that were appointed to sayle into the North Seas to discouer the Kingdomes of Cathaia and China Northward from Norway Muscouia and about Tartaria whereof William Barents a notable skilfull and wise Pilot was Commander ouer the ships of Amsterdam and with them vpon Whit-sunday departed from Amsterdam and went to the Texell Vpon the fifth of Iune they sayled out of the Texel and hauing a good wind and faire weather vpon the three and twentieth of Iune they arriued at Rilduin in Muscouia which for that it is a place well knowne and a common Voyage I will make no further description thereof The nine and twentieth of Iune at foure of the clocke in the after-noone they set sayle out of Kilduin The fourth of Iuly they saw Noua Zembla lying South-east and by East six or seuen miles from them where they had blacke durtie ground at one hundred and fiue fathome William Barents tooke the height of the Sunne with his Crosse-staffe when it was at the lowest that is betweene North North-east and East and by North and found it to be eleuated aboue the Horizon six degrees and 1 ● part his declination being 12. degrees and 55. minutes from whence substracting the aforesaid height there resteth sixteenth degrees and 35. minutes which being substracted from 90. degrees there resteth 73. degrees and 25. minutes Then they woond East-ward and sayled fiue miles East and by South and East South-east and past by a long point of Land that lay out into the Sea which they named Langenes and hard by that point East-ward there was a great Bay where they went a Land with their Boat but found no people From Langenes to Cape Bapo East North-east it is foure miles From Cape Bapo to the West point of Lombsbay North-east and by North are fiue miles and betweene them both there are two Creeks Lombsbay is a great wide Bay on the West-side thereof hauing a faire Hauen six seuen or eight fathome deepe blacke sand there they went on shoare with their Boat and vpon the shoare placed a Beacon made of an old Mast which they found there calling the Bay Lombsbay because of a certayne kind of Beares so called which they found there in great abundance The East point of Lombsbay is a long narrow point and by it there lyeth an Iland and from that long point to Sea-ward in there is a great Creeke This Lombsbay lyeth vnder 74. degrees and 1 ● part From Lombsbay to the point of the Admirals Iland they sayled six or seuen miles North-east and by North. The Admirals Iland is not very faire on the East-side but a farre off very flat so that you must shunne it long before you come at it it is also very vneuen for at one casting of the Lead they had ten fathome deepe

V. Of Emeralds Pearles Indian Bread Trees Fruites Flowers naturall and carried thither from Spaine IT shall not be from the purpose to speake something of Emeralds both for that it is a precious thing as Gold and Siluer as also that they take their beginning from Mines and Mettals as Plinie reports The Emerald hath bin in old time in great esteeme as the same Author writes giuing it the third place amongst all Iewels and precious stones that is next to the Diamond and Pearle At this day they doe not so much esteeme the Emerald nor the Pearle for the great abundance brought of these two sorts from the Indies onely the Diamond holds the principalitie the which cannot be taken from it Next the Rubies come in price and other Stones which they hold more precious then the Emerald Men are so desirous of singularities and rare things that what they see to be common they doe not esteeme They report of a Spaniard who being in Italie when the Indies were first discouered shewed an Emerald to a Lapidary who asking him the value thereof after he had well viewed it being of an excellent lustre and forme he prized it at a hundred Duckets he then shewed him another greater then it which he valued at three hundred Duckats The Spaniard drunke with this discourse carried him to his lodging shewing him a Casket full The Italian seeing so great a number of Emeralds said vnto him Sir these are well worth a crowne a peece The Kings of Mexico did much esteeme them some did vse to pierce their nostrils and hang therein an excellent Emerald they hung them on the visages of their Idols The greatest store is found in the new Kingdome of Grenado and Peru neere vnto Manta and Port Vieil There is towards that place a soile which they call the Land of Emeralds for the knowledge that they haue of abundance to be there and yet vnto this day they haue not conquered that Land The Emeralds grow in stones like vnto Christall I haue seene them in the same stone fashioned like a veine and they seeme by little and little to thicken and refine I haue seene some that were halfe white and halfe greene others all white and some greene and very perfit I haue seene some of the bignesse of a Nut and there haue bin some greater found but I haue not knowne that in our time they haue found any of the forme and bignesse of the plat or Iewell they haue at Genes the which they esteeme and with reason to be a Iewell of great price and no relique yet without comparison the Emerald which Theophrastus speakes of which the King
