publike meeting it being a day of fasting and prayer we set sayle and had the winde at East the weather very faire and our whole fleet together off of Dover The next day the wind at east blew very hard and foule weather vve having ten barges for landing men rowing into rivers lost 2. of the in that storme The winde as before Captaine Rainsborough and two small vessels went for the Isle of Wight
