THE TRVE RELATION OF THAT WORTHY SEA FIGHT WHICH two of the East Jndia Shipps had with 4. Portingals of great force and burthen in the Persian Gulph WITH THE LAMENTABLE Death of Captaine Andrew Shilling WITH OTHER MEMORABLE ACCIDENTS IN THAT Voiage Printed this 2. of Iuly LONDON Printed by I. D. for Nathaniel Newbery and William Sheffard and are to be sold in Popes-head Alley 1622. Tibi crescit omne Et quod occasus videt quod ortus Parce venturis tibi mors paramur Sis licet sequis properamus ipsi Prima quae vitam dedit hora carpsit Seneca in Hercul fuerent THE LAMENTABLE DEATH OF CAPTAINE Andrew Shilling who was slaine by the Portingals in the Persian Gulph I Will neither talke of the Roman glory nor the Roman Vertues which made that glory so translucent to the lookers on but how by commemoration of hystory and publication of their worthinesse to the world which was apparant in nothing more then the rewarding of well deserving men or remembring them to posteritie by some relation or other thus at this day is the Common Wealth of Venice famosed for observing the rules of Ahashuerosh in keeping the custome of attention to his owne Chronicles and then making a stop at Mordechaies saving his life asking what had beene done to the man of so great deserving and when answere was made nothing oh blessed be those times wherein Princes will demand such questions and Courtiers be so honest to tell the truth you know what followed and my heart leaps for ioy to see the Emperour so gratious From hence other Common-Wealths haue or should haue such Registers as a man by Alphabet may finde out the memorable actions of others imployed in their Countries seruice or such Antiquaries as shall expose the Noble Achieuments of heroijck spirits in what kinde so ever As for their interposition that would haue none but men of Honour and great Captaines nominated I am sodden in my question how came they to be so Honourable but from humbled Auncestors and poore beginnings and all from the advancement and donation of Maiestick Princes Oh God he that saw the Danow and the vast mouth of Hister gaping vpon the blacke Sea hee that looked vpon Nilus seven gates opening themselues vpon the Mediterranean Sea Hee that followeth the Rhine in his triple division and braving the Ocean with his streames and also saw the weake swellings vnder the Alpes or trickling drops come out of the Hils would wonder at the progresse of these Rivers and stand amazed to conceiue that such poore springs should increase to such huge streames thus fareth it with men of good deserving the more meane and obscure the more glory and honour to make their vertue extend so farre as true notice and memory of their actions or to stepp out of the common tract of drudging and despised poverty to take braver steps toward renowne and riches Therefore I embrace Master Hacklife for his voyages the Travellers of our time for their iournals the Chronologers for their inventories the writers of Story for their records of memorable men and all the lovers of their Country for attempting some exploit or other without insulting or ostentation and yet remarkable to future ages yea I protest I thanke him that set out the discourses of the Iacob and Exchange of Bristow with their Masters and Saylers who performed wonders ere they could bring the ships into England and all others that are so touched with truth and desire not to let passe worthy accidents that they will publish honest discourses which shall affoord example or precept to idle sluggish men to be rowsed vp and take more cheerefull courses to doe themselues and country good I could name many things of wonder and other men of worth but that I determine no such heapes nor to raise a poore Pamphlet to such an height that Envies fingers shall attempt to pull it downe to rubbish or raging feete presume to trample it to dirt I will now onely speake of a man of whom I am acquainted with nothing but his valour and skill in his profession yea I am so impartiall that not knowing any friend or kindred belonging vnto him I will yet out of meere affection to vertue and desire to worke vpon the governours of Factories importune them to remember the liuing with reward and the dead by recompencing their widdowes and children and intreat others to endevour the immitation of well deservers and make vse of Themistocles schollership who was so inflamed with the Trophes of Miltiades that he never desisted till he had got the reputation of a great Captaine This Andrew Shilling of whom I would speake and am affrayd I shall not speake sufficiently came from all the degrees of Navall imployment to be master of a ship yea of many ships till at last in the time of Sir Thomas Glover whom master Clarke brought over with his Lady to Constantinople he arrived there himselfe with a ship called the Angell which he commanded as maister Tiler did the Dragon There was also maister Bradshaw at Aleppo Captaine King at Xante and many other well deserving men at Scio Smirna and al the ports of the Levant and Arches But Shilling without impeachment of the credit of others was so liked and looked vpon with the iudicious eyes of the East India Company that they imployed him thither and he imployed himselfe so well and so honestly that he dispatched his businesse and came with Sir Thomas Roe who had beene Ambassadour to the great Mogull into England But see what it is to thriue the Marchants mooving in their proper elements for obtaining of wealth and having had some passages of discontentments with former Captaines thought it not befitting to be further molested and therefore once againe made choice of master Shilling to goe another voyage to which after his accounts were rendred he so addressed himselfe that he scarce tarried 6 weeks but vndertooke the busines And in a ship called the London was appointed Admirall of that Fleet the Vice Admirall was the Hart There were also two other ships in the company the Eagle and the Roe-buck all of great burthen and daringly able to encounter with a far greater number Thus shall honest men be imployed and vertue can not be poore so that whether it was their iudgement and good husbandry or his wisedome and care to take hold of opportunities fore-top he thought his time well bestowed in growing rich and they thought their choice very happie to make him rich and so vpon reciprocall agreement he tooke the Seas for Zarret in the East Indies in the next ships that were readie after Sir Thomas Roe came into England and after many changes and varietie of Accidents boysterous Seas and mounting billowes fearefull stormes and some wants he attained the desired harbour had not an vndesired mischance flung him downe into the harbour of death For he perished in the Sea by slaughter which was the more
