espye al to gether And that it so was ment the mater selfe shewed For after ones all was exactely tryed by hym there was then a nother embassatour sent both an old man a noble man an Ebissyne borne and a preste connyng both in scrypture and Calday on whome wayted a very great company of nobles of the Ebyssyns of themperours p̄ster Iohn̄s courte And this mā was sent vnto the most myghty prīce one Iohn̄ y e thyrd king of Portyngale For Emanuel that was his father departed almost .x. yeres ago This legate wyth all his cōpany at this present day is wyth our kynge myche made on and hadde in great reuerence whome questyonlesse they wold neuer haue sent hadde they not ben afore surely certyfyed of our maters by Mathew But now we be a littell degressed therfore let vs agayn returne to our purpose This Mathew then vnder the pretexte of fayned marchaundyse after his beynge at many other cytyes resorted to Aden whych is a cytye by y e see of Arabye vnder the Turkes domynyon byelded euen as our cytyes be very ryche and very well fensyd wyth fortresses where after he hadde fallē in some familiare acqueyntaūce wyth certayne marchaunt men and hadde serched all thynge to the vtter moste and fynyshed the maters he came for makynge hym selfe euer amōgest y e Turkes a Turke for other wyse coulde he neuer haue escaped done his besynesse saufe without daūger he returned to Arquique where before he had left his houshold wyth his companyon the Ebyssyne thus he remoued toke his houshold again and so retourned to Aden hopynge that from thens he myght sayle wyth his warys and his housholde to India For why at the towne of Aden they are wonte to take shippynge towarde India where when he was landed he sold al his lether bought other marchandyse of Alexandrye to cary wyth hym to Indy by whych he muste nedes passe into Portyngale Now was a shyppe redy goynge to Inde and he redy wyth all his marchandyse to go wyth that shyppe whyle there spronge a certayne suspycyon amonges the cetezyns of Aden that he sholde be a spye wheruppon he was taryed and let that he coulde not take passage at that season But he as one of a great wyt and experyence so clerely purged hym selfe of that suspycyon prouynge in dede he was a marchaūt man and that there he soughte nothynge but marchaundyse that they gaue hym wyth hys housholde free pasporte to departe whether hym pleased But now then beynge dysmyssed he founde neuer a vessel goynge toward Inde Then he was fayn to hyer one so he with all his company toke shyppyng and came towarde Inde to a certayn noble ryche cytye called Xaer whych is dystant from Aden about a hundred myle where lykewyse he founde no shyppes goynge to Inde bycause y t nowe yt was wynter whyche there begynneth in Marche And whyle yt lasteth no man may saile toward Inde for the great stormes of wynde whyche is a meruaylous thynge y t contynually blows contrary oute of one quarter But when the sees serued hym he sayled from the cytye of Xaer vnto a towne called Fartaque there in euery place faynynge hym selfe a marchaunt of Turkey From whens he wente to a place called the inhabitours of Dabul from thens to departe to the town of Goa where thē wyntered the gret Alfonsus Dalbubarque a Portyngale the chyefe capytayne of all India predecessour vnto Lupus Soarez whom we haue made mencyon of byfore whych was he y e subdewed al that same Inde Araby Perse Malach and the hole see of Ganges and made all them subiectes to Portyngale Dabull is dystant from Fartaque whych is in the cost of Inde .iiii. hundred myle from Goa .xl. frō Dio .iii. score great myle Dio is a very ryche cytye vnder the domynyon of Cambaie very well fensed wyth gonnes and suche other ingens of warre and very well walled Furthermore he taried at Dabul from May to Decēber and there occupied hym selfe about marchaūdyse because in all that tyme he could not take shyppynge At laste he gate hym a smale vessell and beganne to gete hym away And by y e reason he shewed certayn of his frendes the mayster of the shyppe that he wolde go vnto Portyngale wyth his marchaundyse by and by yt was shewed to certayne hed offycers of the towne that there was a straunger one vnknowē whyche pryuyly wolde conuey hym selfe to Portyngale wheruppon wottynge neuer what they shuld thynke of the mater they kept him styll with fayre wordes and so let hym of hys passage for y e season After he saw this incontynēt by certayn marchaūt men whych were wonte to be cōuersant in Inde with the Portyngales whyche he before hadde made hys frendes he wrote secretely vnto the capytayne Alfonsus Dalbuberque certifyeng hym as diligētly as he could how it stode with him He as soone as he knew it sent thither certain shyppꝭ and galleys some great some smale vnto hym Siluester Corzo was y e capitayn of them where whē he was arryued strayt way he shewed the offycers of the town that he was sent vnto them from y e great duke Alfonsus Dulbuberque to seke a certayn marchaunt man whyche he muste nedes speke wyth all that the same Mathew was he whom he sought which knowen they gaue hym leue to speke wyth hym and so delyuered hym into his handes For this cause the Dabulenses vsed this liberalyte towarde hī for fere they shold seme our opē enimyes for as mych as they take mych profyte by our Portyngales whyche vse Goa Inde yet in place time whē the may secretly do vs displease This Mathew then cōuayde frō the citie of Dabull cam with this noble yong man y e Ebyssyne his felow al his famyly at y e last to Goa where as we before recyted y e noble capytayne Alfonsus then wintered wyth a gret number bothe of people nobles of the Portyngales There is bothe an ile also a citie of this name of Goa The citye I say as it is very riche so is yt also very habūdaūt of all thyng that seruyth for the fyndyng of men In that dwelleth marchaunt men of all kyndes Indians Arabyes Persyās wyth diuers of the realmes of Narsynga Cambaia In thys yle be .iiii. great very well fensed fortresys well māned wyth many hyered souldyers of the Portyngales There inhabiteth the city about .xv. hundred Portyngales These be cytezyns there wyth theyr wyues chyldren and seruauntes besydes many other as soudiours marchauntes Both that hole Ile the cytye the casteles be vnder the Portyngales In the cytye be grāmer scoles kept wher in is taught in comyn scoles both the latyne and the

euery where receyued amongest

the way destroye such myscreant Moers so that the gyftes and oblacyons that be offered vppe at the holy sepulcre frome that tyme forward be not deuoured of dogges Now is come the tyme that was ꝓmysed in whych as they say Cryst his blessed mother Mary forshewed that in the later dayes of the Crysten countreys in Europe a certayne kynge sholde arryse whych sholde destroy the hole nacyon of the

accompte you yt as spoken of myne owne mouth byleue him For he is one of the chyefe of our courte and for that cause we wylled to sende hym to you we wolde haue commytted all this to your owne messengers you sent hether had yt not ben that we feryd lest our besynes sholde not come to passe accordynge to our mynde we sende vnto you by this our embassatour Mathew a crosse made of the same

Besydes all this we certyfye you yf we lyst to assemble our power that we haue strength ynough to destroye yf god be our helpe all the enymyes of our holy fayth But as for our realmes and countres so

accordynge to y e prophecyes of Mary whyche contynued a vyrgyne both byfore the byrth and also euer after 4 Moreouer that the same Iesu Cryste for our synne at Hierusalem byfore Pontius Pylate a

Bysydes this they faythfully cōfesse that after all this mortall lyfe they loke for an vnyuersall and endeles resurreccyon of our body 7 Also that by the same fayth they loke for Cryste to be iudge
