that_o the_o enemy_n which_o shall_v come_v this_o way_n to_o win_v the_o city_n must_v come_v march_v over_o land_n a_o good_a way_n upon_o a_o sandy_a bank_n or_o bay_n where_o the_o sea_n lie_v on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o a_o grove_n or_o boske_n of_o wood_n on_o the_o other_o side_n and_o through_o a_o plat_n of_o ground_n which_o be_v overflowen_v with_o water_n but_o not_o all_o cover_v so_o in_o this_o place_n we_o have_v make_v a_o fort_n or_o sconce_n with_o certain_a flanker_n belong_v thereunto_o and_o i_o have_v cause_v a_o deep_a ditch_n to_o be_v dig_v of_o 60._o foot_n in_o

in_o manner_n like_a unto_o a_o island_n there_o be_v a_o 2600._o yard_n distance_n from_o this_o place_n to_o the_o other_o trench_n where_o the_o enemy_n francis_n drake_n do_v land_n last_o the_o enter_v in_o of_o this_o harbour_n be_v by_o the_o bridge_n and_o causey_n which_o do_v go_v from_o the_o city_n to_o s._n francis_n the_o say_a causey_n be_v 300._o yard_n in_o length_n and_o 12._o yard_n in_o breadth_n and_o the_o water_n be_v on_o both_o the_o side_n of_o the_o say_a causey_n so_o this_o be_v the_o strong_a place_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o three_o place_n also_o in_o this_o place_n there_o be_v order_n take_v to_o make_v a_o draw_v bridge_n and_o upon_o the_o top_n of_o the_o say_a bridge_n to_o build_v a_o platform_n and_o plant_v ordinance_n upon_o it_o and_o on_o both_o side_n of_o the_o bridge_n there_o be_v certain_a trench_n make_v where_o our_o man_n may_v be_v close_o keep_v at_o the_o point_n of_o this_o land_n call_v ycaco_n which_o be_v in_o the_o enter_v in_o of_o the_o harbour_n towards_o s._n anna_n we_o have_v make_v a_o fort_n of_o timber_n fouresquare_n of_o 300._o foot_n every_o way_n and_o trench_v where_o we_o may_v plant_v 15._o or_o 16._o piece_n of_o ordinance_n and_o keep_v 50._o man_n in_o garrison_n and_o behind_o the_o bourde_n on_o the_o backside_n of_o the_o timber_n a_o barricado_n of_o earth_n or_o mud_n wall_n be_v four_o foot_n in_o thicknesseâ—_n and_o behind_o the_o mudwall_n sand_n so_o this_o fort_n will_v be_v of_o great_a importance_n for_o safeguard_n of_o this_o harbour_n because_o all_o the_o ship_n which_o do_v enter_v into_o this_o harbour_n do_v come_v close_o to_o this_o place_n where_o it_o be_v strong_a so_o that_o sometime_o one_o may_v cast_v a_o stone_n into_o the_o ship_n when_o they_o be_v come_v in_o and_o when_o any_o ship_n of_o war_n or_o pirate_n will_v give_v any_o attempt_n to_o enter_v into_o this_o harbour_n there_o be_v order_n give_v that_o the_o two_o galley_n shall_v go_v forth_o 〈…〉_o and_o put_v themselves_o behind_o the_o fort_n with_o their_o prow_n to_o the_o sea_n and_o so_o shoot_v at_o their_o enemy_n in_o the_o forepart_n of_o the_o ship_n and_o then_o the_o fort_n answer_v likewise_o with_o their_o ordinance_n at_o the_o side_n of_o the_o ship_n and_o at_o their_o tackle_n so_o the_o enemy_n be_v in_o the_o harbour_n all_o unrig_v they_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v constrain_v to_o lie_v hover_v within_o the_o harbour_n or_o else_o they_o must_v drive_v upon_o the_o rock_n call_v the_o ismo_n or_o else_o upon_o those_o rock_n which_o be_v cover_v with_o the_o sea_n at_o the_o island_n of_o carâ—s_n and_o put_v case_n that_o in_o this_o place_n we_o can_v do_v no_o good_a by_o this_o mean_n and_o that_o the_o enemy_n will_v venture_v to_o come_v in_o with_o their_o long_a boat_n &_o pinness_n through_o this_o narrow_a mouth_n then_o we_o be_v to_o have_v in_o a_o readiness_n 4._o frigate_n to_o aid_n and_o help_v the_o galley_n &_o to_o row_v with_o oore_n and_o so_o to_o go_v to_o the_o narrow_a mouth_n and_o there_o to_o stay_v in_o the_o channel_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o enter_v in_o be_v so_o dangerous_a according_a as_o i_o have_v certify_v your_o majesty_n thâ—re_o can_v no_o ship_n come_v into_o this_o harbour_n but_o we_o must_v needs_o sink_v they_o so_o that_o these_o defence_n shall_v not_o only_o be_v

that_o if_o we_o have_v not_o make_v these_o fortification_n strengthen_v the_o city_n in_o this_o order_n and_o put_v some_o soldier_n in_o garrison_n the_o citizen_n will_v have_v flee_v and_o forsake_v this_o city_n for_o all_o the_o persuasion_n make_v to_o they_o by_o the_o governor_n can_v not_o persuade_v they_o to_o the_o contrary_a but_o they_o will_v be_v go_v if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v for_o this_o fortification_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o we_o have_v much_o to_o do_v to_o make_v they_o to_o stay_v here_o so_o nouâ—_n by_o reason_n of_o these_o soldier_n which_o shall_v come_v hither_o the_o people_n of_o the_o city_n have_v take_v heart_n of_o grass_n so_o i_o have_v tell_v they_o that_o your_o majesty_n will_v command_v that_o this_o city_n and_o the_o harbour_n shall_v be_v better_o fortify_v and_o make_v strong_a and_o all_o this_o which_o i_o have_v cause_v to_o be_v build_v be_v with_o that_o money_n which_o i_o have_v borrow_v of_o the_o citizen_n as_o touch_v the_o safeguard_n and_o defence_n of_o this_o harbour_n if_o your_o majesty_n so_o please_v here_o may_v we_o build_v a_o very_a fair_a and_o strong_a castle_n with_o four_o bulwark_n on_o the_o point_n of_o the_o ycaco_n which_o do_v lie_v on_o the_o side_n where_o the_o city_n be_v build_v ycaco_n because_o all_o the_o ship_n which_o do_v come_v to_o this_o harbour_n must_v come_v close_o aboard_o this_o shore_n so_o near_o that_o we_o may_v cast_v a_o stone_n into_o they_o and_o so_o overtake_v any_o ship_n so_o likewise_o if_o the_o ship_n will_v go_v on_o the_o other_o shore_n than_o they_o do_v go_v in_o great_a danger_n because_o of_o those_o shoald_n and_o ledge_n of_o rock_n and_o so_o be_v often_o cast_v away_o and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o those_o ship_n which_o
