Nothing i's more certain, than that rnafly curious Pieces have efcap'd the fearch of thofe who have - ublifhi'd Vrolmines of this Nature, either becaufe they are grcnvn ext reamnly Rare;i or, perhaps, thofe who Tranflated were not Mafkl..rs of the Languagres in which they were Writ, or elfe for want of fufficient Information; fince as no Man can know all Things, neither can any be acquainted with all Books. Thefe are the Things ncow defign'd -to Entertain the Publick with affurance that-nothing Thall be offer'd,but what is valuable, and approv'd of by Learned and Ingenious Perfons.. It i's needlefs, and even impradficable, in this Fir ftPart to give a Catalogrue of the Books intended to-be'Tranflated; needJefs, in 'Regard that being very rare, few are yet acquainted with them; and finipraflicable, becaufe feyeral not yet known to the Undertakers, may hereafter come to Hand.-As alfo, by reafon that fome which are not to be found in Enigland, are now fent-for Abroad, and c'onfidering their Scar'city, and the Hazards of the Sea, it is impoflible to determine when, they will be had.. Befides, it is not co'nvenient to Publifh the Names of fuch Books, at a time when fo many are gap'ing to catch at any thing they can 'hope -to make an Advantage of, 0ho' others have acquir'd fome fort of right to. it, by declaring they' have fuch a Work in Hand.

Now each Mfonth being Sold Stich'd, every Buyer may aflerwaids Bind them up when he has an Author conIplcat, and therefore great care flall e laken that the one may end, and the next begin, fo as to caufe no Obflcle, or Confufiol il B:nding. All the Books fhall be adorn'd with proper Maaps, and ufeful Cuts, that is, not with Reprefentations-of Battels, or Draughts of Places made according to the Engravers Fancy, but with true Delineations taken upon the Spcr, where any fuch are to be had; tlle real lab;ts of the People; Birds, Beafis, Plants, &jc. Whether every Month will afford any of ihefe, cannot be promifed, {ince they are to be inferted in their proper Places, for fubfiantial Information, and not difpers'd at Will to embellifh the Bcok, and divert the Ignorant. Therefore Iome Months will contain more, others fewer, and folme perhaps none, with affurance that the Charge fhall not be fpar'd where they are re(tuifte, and fuch are to Le had as can he vouch'd to be Genuine. Thus every Perfon will, at fo fmalla Price, as has been mention'd lave a Tafle ot the Author propoa'd to be Tranflated, and of the Performance, before he launches out more Money to purchafe.xhe whole, and has every Month fomething New to Divert and Inform; which, tho' at firit it may look flight, as being a Stitch'd Pamtn:hlet, will loon grow upon into a Compleat Work, as if Printed all at once, and be no.lefs becoming any Gentlemans Study, or Library.

' ', I -., -- su omww — I_ _ _ m__ - I ~ 1 THE PRE F A C E. ^IR Author, Bartholomew Leonardo de Argenfola, W, M;jI v was a Learned Clergyman, anld as fuch cmploy'd ~4 l1 ^ by the P'refident andl Council of the Indies to Ir'ite this Hijloiy. He calls it, The Conqueft of the J^ C O i0 M ^ J MIolucco Iflands, without Enlarging any flrther i his 7Title, tho' at the fame time his Work contains their fifjl Difcovery, their Defciription, the M1anmners, CutJomsr, Religion, Habit, and Political and Natural HJilory; with all the 7Wars, and o. ther Remarkable Accidents in thofe Parts, fince they were firfl known to Europeans, till their Reduttion under the Crown of Spain. IZ Speaking of themhe Occanionally vrns out to give the f1me Account of the Philippine IJlands, and of feveral others in thofe EaJlert Seas. This is frequent in Spanifh Books, wherein we generally find much mort than'tle Titles prornife; contrary to what is Pratis'd with us, who firive to fill up a Title Page with. abundance of Inviting Heads, the leaft part whereof is Treated of in the sody of the WYork, or at heJl fo Superfcially, that fcarce any more can -t 2nade of them there, teha7n rWas in the Fronttifpiece. For the Compilivg- of this Work the Author, being Employ'd by the Authority abovemention'd, had the Command of all Authentick Manufcriyt Relations, which weree either in the Kings Cuflo.dy, or in Private Hands; eJfides the TeJfimony of fJlch Perfons then Livivg, as had b een Fye-Jritnejffe to any part of what he delivers. His Deign was cnly to 'Wrte the Conqulcjf of thofe Ijlands, by King Philip the Third of Spain; biut conjidcring how few were acquainted with them, and that of Confeqfence viofl Readers would he at a lofs to know where, or what there Moluccos were, hse Judicioujfy Rcfolv'd to bring down his Hifioy from its Proper Source. To this End he begins with the Antient, and Fabtulous Original of their Kings; then comes to the Difcovery of them lby Europeans, and proceeds to the lafr s 'between thtem, and with the Nativtes for the Po/efilon of thofl fo much coveted Do'1inionrl., ' The Preface. His Defcription of them is vey Exa3; That of tbe Cloves, their principal Commodity, 7o lefs Curious; aad that of the other ProduiL and AZnimais, Inferior to neither. The lars carry;ig himl over from one Place to another; e gives a ftort 4ccount of the Ijlands Pap2as, and that of Celebes. The Spaniards, to avoid pn~alg through the Portuguefe Sea, attempted to fettle Trade at the Moluccos, by the way of the St eights of Magellan, which gives occafion to Argenfola to cntertain us with a particullar Accoun t of the Spanifh Fleet fent into the faid Streight, under the Admiral Sarmiento, which bas been hitherto ve-yy Inpcfef8ly Delivcr'd in Englifl, tho' very Remarkable, and fill of cSurprizing Accidents. In Ibort, not to Jl'etch out this P'eface, with tle Stl:'jct of the Work, wnefall fnd in it a brief Defc iption of the Jland Sumatra; cf the vnal Empire of ChiSa; of all the Philippine Jjlands, and thofc of Ceylon, Banda, Java, and many othe, of lefsj Note. Nor does he omit to fpeak of the Dutch Voyages; and;Undertakings of Sir Francis Drake, and other Englifh Adventurers; and EmbeliOBes the whole with Jfch variety of pleafing Incidents, that fewr Books of Travels afford f.m1cb Profitable Entertain7mentZ, With fuch good Authority. No luthor ever had a better Rejutation, among all that Undce;fan., and Ihave had the good Fortune to Mlet with hit; for being fo lalualblc, he is extraordinaiy Scarce, rare to be met with in Spain, and confequently mulch -wore in England. This may perhaps be the mainl Reafon vwhy he has not yet been TranJlated, and being fo Valuable, he cannot mwif of that Reception which he has found in the Original. But it i not intended to prepojfef' the Reader, who is left to nake his own Jutdgment, and therefore a long Preface is dejignedly avoided, that be may the fooner enter uponfo Ufeful aaid Diverting a TYork. It is not i7lproper, neverthelefs, to Advife the reader not to take 7notice of fome Refieaions in Point of Religion, and in other Cafes, confidering the Book was f7rit by a Spaniard, and that it Vss.ot proper to Omit, or Alter any thing, where a Fair, and Entire Tranflation is promifed. Befides, That thefe are 'very few, and inconfiderahle, and confelqently not worth obferving, as indeed the generality of ]udicious Readers will be firiciently fatisfy'd, and this Caution is given for their Sake, whom perhaps Pasion, or overmuch Zeal may move to con:erm a WTort;i fuich a Occafion when they can find no other matter to Carp at.

The Celerity with which the Expe'dition was concluded, does not in the leafi dim nil~h the Glory of the Event; %which, for that very Reafon, might rather defeive a place in a more ample Relation.

Tydore boaft of a Divine Original; fuch Liberty to be vain do Men take Up —# ~on them, or fo much do they afcribe to obfcure Antiquity. There i's an ancient Traditio n among thofe People, look'd upon as Sacred-, That they 'were once Govern'd by a moft A ncient Prince, called Bicocigara, who failinlg alon1g the Coaft of Blachian, perceiv'd that amo ng fome craggy Rocks there were grown up abundance of Rotas, fo they call a fort. of folid Canes,, which, when fmnall, they mnake ufe of inflead of Ropes. He lik'd them, and sfF~lde of~ oxderkl they Thould be cut down, and brought into hi's Vreffeh His Sub-. theirOr,-jeats going to fulfil his Orders, and having fearch'd all the plac~e, retuirn'd to their Mafter, defiring he would look~ again, leafi his Eyes deceiv'd-him,. for they could meet with no fuch Canes.

H-e commanded them to be cut down., and as they went about it, Blo6od ran from the Canes that were cut. Be'ing aflonifh'd at that Prodigy, hie difcovcr'd clofe to the Roots of them four Eggs, which look'd like' a Snakes Eggs, and at -the fame time kward a Voice, proceeding from the hollow of the Canes cut down, which faid, Keep thefe Eg-gs; for fromn the I ei hall come fonr excellen7it Go-. Tel "ourr:.He took up tho;e fatal Eggs, _'with Religious Refped, and cariry'd them home, where they were kept in the heft place of his 1-oufe. l.In a fbort tine, fjrom the- four Yolks proceeded four Rational Chic.kens, be'. ing three Men, and one Woman, who afterwards Reignd, thie firfi of zhem i~i l&chiax; the 1ccond in Butan and the -thixd over the Iflands call'd Pap the SPICE-IS LANDS., Tpiau,1 ly'ing'Eaft1 from the M.9luccos. The Womanxwas Marry'd to iThlice, Loloda, who gave Name to the Country of Bat ocldna not far from the -great Boconora. This Fable has grain'd flich Reputat"Ion, that they Ihorour &cocigaia,-s a Iiero, worfhip the Rocks, and adore ihe Eggs. The tr'uth of it is, that the cunning Mlan, by this Frodigious Superffition, San'dtfy'd his own Race, and gain'd Kinigdoms, and 'Refpea for his four Children. So reee fignd, ~ bleiv'd, that Leda ConceivingofteAueos 'Swan brought forth the Eggs, fromn which came C'rTftor, Pollux, and He Ze,;a,.v Fortune, when fhe raifes Mlen to a high pitch, perfwades thofe The d-eiigns 'to Crown, to lay the Foundation of their Majefly on Fables, refemblingy true Mdifteries, fo to perfw-ade the Multitude that they are fomewhat Di-. vine, and to -diflinguifhi the Royal Race by a r~cculiarity even in the Lrni-. verfal Law of being Lorn into 'the World. Of thi's Race thirteen Idola-trous Kings fucceeded one another in Tydore, down to Sul-tan Tydore Bonpig ne, the firfi that receiv'd the Mahomnetan Alcoran, thol intermiJx'd wiith Idolatry, w'hich lafted above Eigrhty Years, and-being confounded among,the Precepts of that abominable Se%11, bred Divifions, and Difiradions a'mongy the People. Afterwards, when the Comm.ander Brito 'arriv'd in -that Ifland, as we Thall foon fee, he found a C'aciAz, or Priefi, taught thern -the new Superflition, and that many oppos'd him, on account of the old -Fable of the Eggs,. which the Peilian Afonabout could never Decry; fo'great * is the ower o-Ero rnfittA.- from our Fore-Fathers. -Kingr T~dore Bonguze's Succeffor, was his Son C'achil Boleye no Iefs j f/f Superiiicious than the Father, but in another way. He pretending to the propbell-C, Spiri of Prophecy, gaitid fuch Reputation, by the ExperieNce and Fore. fight of his Riper 'Years., that he came to be Honour'd by his Subjeds as a Prophet; or by thbeleaft Credulous, as a Perfon of fingular Prud'ence, fo that all Mlen grave Ear to him,0 as to an Oracle. Puffed up with this Xra'nityr, he pretended to Fore-tell -future Events; which when no particular Perfons, or fet Timres are appined, is a fafe way of Predidfing, Without Danger of being found Falfe; either becaufe in procefs of Time fomethiugy Accidentally happens, that may be adapted to the Prophecy, or in regard, -that is always expedted which will never come to pafs. For this Reafon, -as in mofi Countries there are fomec current Notions ot futur'e'Expedations,. conceiv'd upon trivialOCCafionS, rather than any Ob ervation of the Stars; therefore Roleyfe us'd to tell thofe about him,. That the time would come; when Iron Men Thoud arrive at Termite, fromn the remotefl parts of the' World, and fettle -in its Terri1tory; by wvhofe Power the Glory, and Do-O mnoof the Alolucco Ifiands Thould be far extended'.

Afterw,,ards, in the Reigns of King Edwvaid, and.dlonfo the V. thoft Di fcoverir~s were continu'd, till under King John the 11. they proceeded as far as thie Cape of Good HVope, and a liundired Leaguey, beyond it, along the CoaIl, call'd Rio del Infante.

It was -appointed, Thit the Share to the Eafiward fhould belong to the Crown of Portugal, and the other 'to the \Vefl ward, to thbat of c'iftile; and that it flhould be fo mnark'd downt on the Sea Charts; the Line pafling through a fixt Point on the Earth, whic-h w%'as to. be the%- Boundary of both A~ations.

KiI7g of The King of Tydore was lets Supported by Spnin than lie had been before, Tydure and was therefore oblig'd to fue for Peace, laying fome Burden of Tribute m.ikes on his own Revenue proceeding from the Cloves; He alfo promis'd never Peace. to admit of any Sptanibj Succours i befides fone other Conditions, which put an end to the Wars for a time. We have already obferv'd, That Cachil Bolerfe. King of Terw.rte, left' Daroes, three lawful Sons, viz.

The Natives obferv'd the Difference of the IPolrtuga-fe Domination,and that fince their building of that l"ort, they.us'd intolerable Rigor, and confequently began to grow cold in their Affedior, Portugi.ere and to filcken in their Refped; efpecially when they perceiv'd that Brito's /Poth7.

This well grolnded Fear grew tip in his Rreaft, till.i turn'd to down right Hatred, and le contriv'd to kill Don George.. The Defign could not be carry'd on fo private, as to be conceal'd from him, and he to difapp.int it, rctir'd into the Fort.

By Relations Written in thofe Days it appears, that the Emperor conSpaniards fulting Peter Ruyz de fillegas, a grave and learned Gentleman, about this agabift Mortgage; his Anfwer was coildemning it,and declaring, That his Alajetly fTitting had better to have Mortgaged any other of his Kingdoms, than that of the the Mo- Afloluccos; Trapoblaa, or Mvlalaca, or any other in the Eafti all which, in luccos. his Opinion, belong'd to his Majefly; and he grounded his Opinion on Time's calling Treaties into Obliviin, and the great uncertainty of State I Affairs. Many others advifed the Emperor to repay that great Sum to the King of Portugal; and what is yet more, the RepreJentatives in the Cortes of CaJlile, propos'd that the Emperor ihould make over to' them the AMolucco Illands for fix Years, by way of Farm, and they would' pay King 7ohen the Mortgage Money, and bring the Trade of Spice to Coruina and after the fix Years his Majefly fhoiild carry on that Trade.

Orders, and Letters Patents, were drawn -and fealed, for both Nations to forbear Hoflilities, but the Emreror's Subjets never receiv'd Commands from him to withdraw their Forces for any other Enterprize, nor did they,ijrceafes know whai hadbceen agreed on in Spain, any other way than bythe Acbetaecen count they had from the Portugucfes who had receiv'd Orders from their Spaniards King, to conclude a Peace, and to Ship off the Spaniards by the way of?lnd Portu- Idia for S,1ain. This Agreement put an End to all Judicial, and Military RUefse;. Contention. Since then the Viciflitude of Times has invefled all the Right, and Title in our King.

Prifoners under DeCk had Frevaild, but that the Mariners loos'd their Sails. At this time- there [cli a dreadful Storm -of Rain, with fuch amazing Thunder and Lightning, as if the Heavens had been rent afunder. The aS'riagos qluitted the Portuguefe Ship, endeavouring to recover the Shore in their own Veffels, with their Sails rent, the Hulls Ihatter'd, and the Riggaing difabled; and to'get off the better, they threw. over4'oard their* Cannn ad Amsbeingr in danger.-of -finl.-ing. This Tempell lafled two Day~s, during which Time, Pint~o's Ship could not efcape, hlis Men and hie being fo far [pent, that the'y had neither Stre'ngth nor Courage to fland by their Tackle; they let the Ship drive with the Sea, and threw over-board their Provifions, Merchandize,, Gunls, Arms, Cloaths, -.nd all they could come at; and being convinc'd of the Ju.flicc of the judgment, for having broken their Fait hI and folemn Engagement they had made, arriv'd at Ter-nate aflonifh'ld, dumb, and out of Coun~teunance,2 thinking they were fill in the Storm. Such are the Effeds of a guilty Confcience, which pre-. fently provokes God's-VWrath. All the Kings 'of the ad'itcent Iflands. were foon acquainted wt h Perfidiournefs of thofe few PoYtgrt gef'es, that they had tranfgrefs'd the* fa - Cred Law's of Hofpitality, a nd al ways made a mifchievous U fe of Be nefi ts; whereupon they immediately concluded their League, to be e'xercifed like def~erate Men. They prefently made Proclamation, forbidding, under in.off fevere Penalties, the coniveying of any Provifions- to the Portuguefes, either by Sea or Land, that' fo they mzghitbe reduc'd to quit: all thofe Provinces, and fly into India, and fin'ce thley could not batter the Fort, for Want of great Gunls, they fbould -flarve it out enj yin all Perfons of all Ags and bo'th Sexes'.t be vigilant inl obfervingr this fatal Decree, that fo the Trading Galeon might not afford them the Comnfort of hoping for.Relief.

ARtc~inOfl The Crop of Cloves makes the Wealth of the Molucco Kings, much. more than the Taxes their Subjedls pay; and tho' Rage, and Defpair put,. Fire into their Hands, to burn their Country, it might happen, as fome-. times Miflakes prove advantageous, that w,~hat they defign'd to render thei~r Fields Barren, might make them more Fruitful. It I's Well, known- that courfe Affhes nciix'd, and fcatter'd on the Face of the Earth often Fertil~ize. it. Nothing is more frequent in LEuropeta obr the Stubble., and, Straw upon barren Lands; becaufe, either the burnt Earth gather's forne unknown Strength, and produces good Pailure,.or elfe the Fire conifumes itsRanknefs,, and exhales the fuperfluous Noifture. Perhaps the intenfe Heat. opens feveral Paflages, and dilates the clof'e Pores, and hidden VeinS, thro' which the Nourifhiment flows, dnd thence the Earth receives itk in all Parts, to make it capable of a new Prodw9; or elfe it hardens, and clofes the Vents which were open'd, that fo the thin Waters,.or the continual In.. tenfenefs of the Sun, or. the piercing Cold of the North-Eaft lWind, which. is chilling, may do it no Harm. Befides,-1Nature having chof~n that only. Part of the World to produce this fort of Fruit, in which there has never been obferv'd any Failure, or Intermifflon, it could not be believin'g that a Momneutar'y Violence fhould utterly caufe it to ceafe.. However the Defign of thofe People was not to renew thofe Sp~icy Groves, but entirely to de,:firoy them. This. Thows how mifchievoully they were bent-againfl them.. felves, and. againfl all Nations. It will be therefore convenient in this. Place to tre~at of the Cloves at large.

W hen -it begins 'to bloflbm, it fpreads a m'ofl delicious Fragrancy, and on the 'very Top like the Myrtle-, from one fingle Stock. produces an infinite Number of Cluflers, like thofe of Eldei-, or the Honey&Slckle.

Some fay it would hold longer, were it -not lhiip'd with fuc'h Violence, which it avengres by growing Barren; but they are miflaken', for in the Iflands of Ba cbian, they lop the Branches', that they may produce more Clovesr, and the low Branches bear leafL.

Thef~ Plants, make amends for their delay in the Abundance of their Proiu&;- which is flichtb~at after en'riching all Nations with it, the K. of $ft's Reenue out of it Yearly amounts to two Millions of pieces of Eigbr little over or under., it is generally reckon'd that only the five Alolucco Hfands produce all the, Clove, becaufe of the prodigious- Quantity they yield. They always amountr to Four Thoufand Bars, each Bar of Terniatc being four hundred Weight,. and threequarters, and this for that- Ifland; but the third of -the whol~e taken for the Kingr amounts to fix thoufand Bars, and every common Bar ilsbetter than five hundred Weight of ours. Perhaps~the Word Bar mightcome from the G;-eek- Balros-, figrnifying a Load. The Cloves grow alto in the fniall-Iflands of lIes and Aleytarana, about Ternate; thofe of Rubo and.

C'atan uno, entag'd at his Ainfwer, order'd him to be kill'd; but the Tyrant's own Friends, who lov'd Don fohn, the Sangiack, carry'd him out of tl; Room, and contriv'd he Ihould have his Liberty, and be reflor'd. Their Intreaties prevail'd on Catabruno, and he liv'd many Years after in his own Dominions, with a. Chriflian Conflancy, confefling his indifcreet Zeal, which had caufed his own Sword to deprive him of WiLe and Children. A Mind truly worthy the befl Part of Europe, and not to be the Produa of the mofi remote barbarous Nations; and highly commendable,. had it been direded by more folid Rules, to curb that Fiercenefs, lo oppofite to all natural and divine Laws, which looks upon fuch horrid Mlurders, as a Pieceof Fiery. TriJtian de Atayde was troubl'd at thefe Misfortunes, which were alirof under his Eyes; tlo' he wanted nor for others nearer, for the People of Ternate. being now Mlailers of tle Ifland,,burlt all the new and old Towns, belonging either to themfelves, or the Chriflians, and amongil others, thole of Trutupalate, Calamata, and IJico, yet they met with brave Oppcfition in them all, and they coft much Blood. Twice bur Men went out to Fight the Tydore Fleet, which came within fight of the Fort, and tho' they botl times retir'd Shatter'd, and well Beaten, the Barbarians lhad not much caufe to Boaft of their Vidory, for Abundance of them were kill'd, and fcarce any went off unhurt. The Confederates fitted out other numerous Fleets, wherewith they much Streightened the Chriflians in the Forr, till Antony Galvam arriv'd, who vas at this time Saiing.

The Galeon arriv'd fafe, and with it the Support ot tlofe Difcon ldate People.

H-bwever they made Incurfions upon the BaLbarians, and throughout all the Iflands there were hourly Engagemnents, either with the Chriflian Inhabitants, or the Soldiers of the Foits; and at Sea they heard the Martial Mufick, which Sounded whilft they Sail'd, or Fought Mianfully, and at that time was dreadfhl.

But Galvam, whofe Bufinefs it "as to get to Ternate, held on his Voyage, and arriv'd Arrives a there as he deiir'd. His Men landed in that difmal Solitude, among Ternate. Smoke and Ruins. The Joy of thofe who were in the Fort, and the extraordinLary Relief, comingo quite unhop'd for, wele an Encouragement to them all.

The King o!

The Queen alfo fubmitted, either on Account of the King of Tydore's Falfllcod, or that, as The faid, the grew weary of the 'War, or elfe becaufe the depos'd King was I ilSd. Catabruno was appeas'd by Galvam's good Behaviour, and accepted of Conditions, amonllg which the chielefl was, that Galvanm hould fet Sultan Aerio at Liberty. Thus the Confederacy was difolv'd, and the AMaluccos laying down Arms, fubmitted again. Provifions were furnifh'd as before, and the Crops, and Trade of Spice were reftor'd. S ltan Sultan Aerio attended by the Chriftians and Gentiles, Dancing, and ma. ultan king other demonfirations of Joy, went frcm the Fo;t to his Palace, where riyng of he remain'd with his Guard, and Family. Before-he Marry'd, tho' he neKTernate. ver wanted for Concubines, he in Perfon took a Progrefs to the principal places in his Dominions of Ternate, Moutil, and Alracia.n.

As to the Extent of' this Country, if we may believe the Accounts of Spanlib Pilots, who have fail'1d that way, thefe Iflands run along a vaft Continent, which terminates at the Streights.of XAlgellan.

The K. returning to Terizate, the'Commanderjwas cent Prifoner to Goar and had been more feverely punifh'd; but that Fortunprferv'd him, to be'an Infifrument of the lofs wihiCh has lafled till our Days. Within a Year after his Imprifonment he was refl or'd to ]his Command in Tern ate, where he againu pradic'd again ft that King; for there are fo'me Difp~ofitions which never part withithie Jealoufies they have once eonceied.

This could nlot be kept fo private, as Hot to come, to the Sultan's Ears; but the Confideration that hewa' King, his I 52 Th e IJ Jovery and con queft of his own Sincerity, and th~e frefh Reconcilication, made him think hie was. fecure. But if the,Nature of Man be fuz~h as not to forgive when it has done a Wrong, what cal) le lefs fecure than injur'd Innocence? The Comnmanlder feigns himrfldf Sick, and fends to defire the King, that fince he is not able to wait on him in his P~alace, he will be pleas'd. to honour him with a Vifit in the Fort, there to confer with his High nefs about fome impori ant Affairs which concern the King of Portual, his Mlafler, and are not fit to be -communicated to any other.

He obey'd, and when he came to Goa, was Imprifoned, and put to Trouble. As foon as it was in his Power, he refolv'd to depart In;dia, and remove himfelf from the ill-will oF thofe he thought were not his Friends; but the City nf Go,: conjur'd him not to forfake it, and in vain endeavour'dto procure a Reconciliation betwixt thofe Commanders. Ttis happened in the Year I $92, when, apld fome Years after, Ternate might have been reliev'd, as Furtado defir'd, had not the Animofities reigning obftruc'ed it. However they were fo far from employing him, that, tho' Furtado feveral times Ofer'd himfelt with his own Ships, and at his proper Coft, whtere there was fuch Neceffity of fuppre'fiing Cunnalc, yet he was as ofttn Rejeded, anJ that Vidory envy'd him, which afterwards he had granted by H-eaven, as we fhall fee in its Place. At this Time SantiJao de tVera was difcharged of his Command of the Piglippine Ifiands.. He had fignified his I1ltrntions to Andrev Furtado, and received his Anfiver, That he would comply with his Defires; but Fortune difappointed thefe good Beginnings, enlbroiling Furtado with rhofe who did not love him, and removilg Santiago from his Government, His SucceiTor was Goiesez Perez de las Marinna.s Knight of the Order of Santiago, or St..r:nes the Apofile, a Perfon of high Reputation, bIrn at Be- Pe tanzos, in the Kingdom of GaLlici. He arriv'd at the Phiipp7ines in the;. v Year 159o, and brought with him his Son Don Lewis, Knight of the Order. t. of 4Acantara. The new Governor found Mlanlla open, without any Form pi ofa City, and without Wealth to Improve it. Above ZocooC Pieces of Fight were wanting for this Purpofe; yet le compafs'd the Work by Projeds, and Contrivance without any Dammage to the Publick, or to private Perfons. He Monopoliz'd the Cards; he laid Penalties on excelive Gaming, and puMni d fuch as Foreflal'd the Markets, and on Vituallers, and other Retailers of that Sort trhat were guilty ot Frauds; with thefe Fines he built the Walls of Mlantila, which are z849 Geometrical Foot in Compars, N each Foot being the third part of a Yard. He apply'd himfelf diligently to B this Work, and the Inhabitants attended it,being willing to forward it on F, Account of the Intreaties and Example of their Chief, The City had but one Fort, and that ill built, wheretori he Erec'led another at the Mouth of.the River, calling it &intiago, and enclofed the old one. He finifh'd the Cathedral5 and built from the Ground the Church of St. Potenciana, Patroners of the Ifland, for Woimn that have retir'd from the World.

This fo far Encouraged them, that they duift afterwards daily C zuize in fight of the Fort, took the Fif7ermen that wtent out in tie Morning ro follow their Trade, and laid a Ground!ome Carcoas on the Shore. They erected a Mofque oppc/ite to the Fort, as in a frife. Place, and thus they kept the Fort Bcf.cged with Contemnt, for the fpace of a Mlonth.

They flay'd till M-orning, and when Day appear 'd, perceived that the Galley had fet her Shoulder-aofMutton-Sail, and was flandinlg for China, but they could nor follow her: The, Wind favouring, ile fail'd all along the Coaft of the Ifland, till they got clear of it, the C'h1.-nefes ill the wvay Crl~ebratingy their Vidory, t/3e SPICE-ISLANDS.19 The.

They all Iay'd down their bVoody W~eapons, -and profi rating. themn-pri.d felves, return'd Thanks to Heaven in moft humble manner, beating Drums~,thr a2nd ringing Bells tle cary'd, according to their Cuflom. The two Chri-.Lvs I1lians being then bolted to a Bench in the Galley, during i 5.

They fhed Abundance of Tears on it, befides thofe they hourly let fall with the A' prehenfion of Death, thofe Chine/cs, like iaithlefs faire Men, defig'ning to take away their Lives, in fomie Ilrange manner. They wveigh'dad failed between the' Iflands of Mindanao and Lulan,. towaords china, and Coafling alon Manila towards Cogay an, fomne contrary Winds happening to blowv, and Calms fucceed ing, they were much concern'd, faring, tha't if the News of their Treachery reach~d the Philippines, thywudfn'atradoe-TeCitake themi. This Dre'ad made themn have recourfe to their Gods, and callnes - ujon them, offering fe'veral forts'of Sacrifices, Perfumes, and Prayers, wthich yk hi the Devil often anfwer'd in form'al. Words, by the Mouths of fuch as wereGds Pofefe, whom he 'Enter'd t6' that Purpofe, for there never wanted two or three lfuch, all the timne th'lofe Chriflia-ns wiere in the Galley. What they faw was, that when'leafi they thought 'of it, and on a fudden, the Perfoin roffeffed began to quak~e from Head to Foot. The* others feeing him in that Conldition, faid, ~Som7e God was' C'6nzb`i'g to Spedk to thaM. Then coming -up to him', with Tcoken3 -of Refpe6l:, they u'nty'd, and fpread abroad his Hir Iome of and firippingy him quite ni~ed fiet himin on his Feadhprenlfll them pof.. Dancing to the'Noi-fe of foffe Drum, or Bell, they beat or rungy.

Before the Devil had poffefs'd any in the Galley, the Chine/es were concerting to 'Murder th6 Chriftians, believing they were'the Occafion, whiy C'hH-ifl~anz God did not give'them a fair Wind for their Voyage; but that' watchful prefer v'd fovereign Provi dence Xwithout whofe Diredlion'the leafi Acciden' osntb en hpp~en, makin'g life of the Devil hrifef as an Inflrument', prevented 'it of thje D e*yMeans of thofe very Perfo-ns 'who offended it. The Perfon poffefs'd vil. ask'd tir Ink and Paper, Which being prefentiy brou'ght him, he made cer-,tain Charaaers and confus'd Scrawls, whc benIepune yth others iii the Galley, they foun'd figrnify'd' that thofe two Men were harmlefis, therefore they fhould not kill them which -was no fimall. Incouragement to thie Prifoners. Ho'wever this laile'd not long, for fomie others who weepoffefs'd after the firfi, treted them cruelly, efpecial~ly one of them, who was the maddeft. He'told theC'Uhinefes, that if 'he Thould happen to btr thofe Myen, as he bxandilhi'd the Weapon lie Jhid in his W1ind ovf-I th M3.. 1 40. 40o.. The Difcovery and Conquief of them, making Elfays, as if he cut and ilaflld, then they muft kill them immediately; becaule it would be a certain Sign, that their Gods J equir'a it, and that their bei g in the Ship was the Occafion, why they gave them not a fair Gale. All the Men in the Galley affembled, to behold that Spedacle, and the Perfon poflefsd having for a confiderable Space walk'd about the Gang-Way, with extravagant Geflures, went then to the Place where the Religious Man and his Companion were; there growing hellifhly inTag'd, he commanded all the reft to fand afide, and being left with only Ho the two Plifoners, began to make hideous Faces and Grimaces at thenm, Horhrcd gwhen getting upon the Table in the mid Part of the Galley, he thence prailtces threw his Cymiter at them, with fuch Fury, that it ftuck in the Deck, be-:~pon tLe. Pon t tween their Feet. Seeing he had not hurt nor touch'd them, he ask'd for P, ifoe...it again to make a fecond and third Tryal, flicktng it every Time fo deep, that the others could fcarce draw it out from the Planks. This done, he bid them give him a Partefan with which he hack'd, hew'd, and thurft, in fuch frightful and dangerous -anner, that the Cbineres themfelves were aflonifh'd. He kept them above an hour in that Dread alndAfflifion, without daring to itiror beg for Mercy;believing it would not avail them,lbut that on the contrary, whatfoever they could fay might be prejudicial. Thus has ving pac'd all their Hopes,ald Confidence on that fovereign Lord,who even when he delays does not tail to give AfEiflance, they call'd upon him, and oflor'd theimflves up to. him in fervent Prayers; particularly the Religious Man, repeating fome Pfalms and Verfes, which his former DIvotion, excited by tlh prerent Danger, brought into his Mind, and were fuitable to that Occafion, and fuch like Exigencies; by which, as he afterwards faid, -he receiv'd great Comfort, and Addition of Courage. This fort of mife_ rable Life,-and thefe Torments la-fted all or molf Days during therein Cap. tivity., At length, the Chinefes perceiving they could notpoffibly rerform the The C.hi- Voyage they defir'd, by Reafon the Wind was contrary; they refolv'd to nefes land, land on the Ifland of Ilocos, not far from Luzon, at the Port they call Siaay. s8zo of They being there afhore to Water, the Natives knowing they had murder'd thetjm are the Governour, laid an Ambufh and kill'd twenty ofthem, and might have kill'd. deRroyed above eighty that had landed, if they had not wanted Courage; becaufe at the very Shout the Men gave, when falling on, they were fo daunted, that they all fled feveral Ways in Confufion,throwin( down their Arms, endeavouring to fave their Lives, by keaping into tlb Sea, fo to get off in the Boat. The Chinefes meeting with this. Difafter, and thinking one of their own Men had been the Occafion of it, becaufe he advi They fed them to put into that Port, they refolvId to feiz" and put him drown one to Death,. They did as had been refolvd, and at Night, by unanimous of their Conent threw him into the Sea,en the wei heir Anchora, they got own JMen. out -of that Haxbour, and put into another, three Leagues off, on the fame CoafI.

This dreadful Spedacle firuck Horror, avd rais'd Emulation in the two Chrillians, who beheld it with Zeal, and had expected as much before. The Inhuman Sacrifice being over, they put out of the Harbour, and having for foaie days Coafted the Illand- with Difficulty; one of them, by conmiand of the Poffefs'd Perfon, who had order'd the Sacfifi..e, with the confent of them all, let at liberty the Religious Man, the Secretary, and all the e Indians they had Prifoners, putting them afhore in the Boat, and then the taR2.d.Chinefes flood out to Sea.

He fuffer'd the Galley to perifh on the Ccaft, and the Chizcfes difpers'd, flying into fevcral Prohinres. Others affirm, that King 'eiz'd and puniffhd them. The Spaniads that efcap'd, went to carry the News to Manila, where Spaniards fomegiiev'd,and others, who hated the Governour for his Severity, rejoy- tht efcapd ced; but that ill NVill foon vanifh'd, and all generally lamented lhim; came to more efpecially whlen fome of the Bodies were found and brought in.

They were tofs'd backwards and forwards for five Days, between certain Iflands, deflitute of -rovifions, and unfafe, by Realon they were in War among themfelves. -They fet forward with a fair Gale towards lava, and on the z6th of Dececlber, t598, arriv'd at Banda, wuhich is eight Leagues from nAi- Banda l'oina. This Illand is fhap'd like a Horfe-fhooe, and lies in four Degrees of IJi. n:L South Latitude. It is moft fruitful, with little or no Improvement, in Nutmegs, and their precious Mace; as alfo Provifions and Medicines for Men, beyond all other Parts of the known Wor!d. It is divided into three Parts, each of them three Leagues in Compafs. The Capital City is called Nera. As foon as they arriv'd, they countraded Friendcfhip with the lflanders; tho' a foreign Ship, to ficure the Trade to herfelt, gave them to underfiand, that the Dutch were certain Pirates who fled the Year before, and had lain conceal'd at Sea, to come gain and rob the Iland, and therefore they did not fully credit them. This Notion was Lach'd by Trading Portrgu'efs, and others fettled there; bur the Dutch fending (heir.bdol, that is the Indian Interpreter, with fome Soldiers, and Gift to preent the King, according to the Cuftom of.lerchants that conie inro his Country, they before him clear'd that Impuatai;n,.:nd defended their Innocence.

This da~iity Feedingy continju'd every Day, and they gave them a Weeks Pro. vifion for a Dutch Man for one Pewter Spoon. Hlowever they rais'd the, Price of Pepper; but they pay'd for all writh 'Pins and Needles, Knives, Spoonls, Looking-Glaffes, and little Tabors; iand with thofe fame Com-d modities, they purchas'd more valuable Goods at:ionatra, as alfb?'rovifi.. ons; when four of thefe tight Ships return'd Hiomewards, the others failing for Teinate and the Afifouccos. The greatefi Q~antity, and bell Commodity they took in here, was of The N~ut- Mace. Nutmegs grow alfo in Ternate' and the, adjacent Ifland's, but ihey Te.are few and weak; but in B and there i's a plentiful Crop', and they have rncg much more Virtue. Nature has cloadh'd its Mountains. and. Plains, with Woods and Groves of thefe Plants. They are like the Euiropean Pear.Trees, and their Fruit reftembles Pairs, or rather in Rouridne.fS Lile Atelo;cot one's. When the Nutmegs blofoi, they fpread a cordial Fragrancy;by degrees they lofe their Native Green, which is. original in all. Vegretables; and then fucceeds a Blew, i ntermix'd with Grey, -Cherry-Colour, and a pale Gold Colour, as we fee in the Rainb~ow, tho' not in that regular Divifion, 'but in.

The Nuts, when dry, call off the Shell it grows cover'd with, and is the Mace, with.. Oil of in which is a white Kernel, not fo fharp in Tafle as the Nut, and whene dry is converted into its Shbftance. Of this Mace which i o n r in the fecond Degree, and within the third, the Bandefes make, a. molt precious Oil to cure all Difleinpers in the INerves, and Aches caus'd by cold.. Of thefe Nuts they choofe the frefhiell, weightiell, fattefi, juzc-idI1, Virte, ~and without any Hole. With them they cure, or corre&t flunking Breath, clear the Eye.-;, comfort the Stomach, Liver, a'nd Spleen, and digetAll Meat.

The new Governour was much conterun' to find the'King's cis 'ello Trealury emptn, and hilmfelt under an Ob'ligation of fupporting the King's.crs. and his own Credit. To tilis Confideratin belong'd the Moiluccos, the reducing whereof he had in Charge. However he' tock Coura;e, beliieving he might with Induflry and Labour, make amends for the Wane of Cafh. He attended all the Works in Perfon, as he had bee:a wont to do, bth at M.inila and in the Country about, building Galleys, and other Veffels, whereof there was then a great Want, to fecure the Sea, at that Time it- Dn Pedro fefied by the Neighbouring Pirates and Enemies, efpecially thofe of M tind-. irts nao. Next he vifited the Provinces of the Pintadcs, and fuppiy'd the G e,,;?, Wants he found in thofe Parts. In thefe Paffages betwixt the Illands, be- C7t.< fides the Storms, his little Veflel, which had only three Soldiers in it, efcap'd, he fell into another notable Danger. Two and twenty Englif/t Ve fels enrich'd with the Booty they had taken in the Iflands belonging to that Government, attempted to inclofe and take him, but the Tide failing them, they fluck on Ground, and could not get off Don Pedro faw them throw over-board above 20zooo Spniard, and Natives they had made Prifoners, to lighten their Veffels. They alfo call into the Sea a beautilul C'uitey of SpJani MIaid, about 17 Years of Age. Afterwards the Fleet from Mani- Engiih. la fail'd in quell of them, and chaflis'd fome, tho' the Punifhrnent was inferior to their Cruelty. Don Fedro would fain have remov'd all Obflacles that lay in the Way to the Enterpyize he had in Hand; but was oblig'd to put off for bfme Months that which he was moft intent upon, and to difpatch the Affairs Jap~nefe of Xolo andj apan. Chiuliro, a yponefe Embaffador, was newly arriv'd EL lbiTIaat fianila, with a Prefent of the Produd and Manufadures of that Iiland, dor at Maand orders to treat with the Governour, and fettle Amity and Commerce, nila between the Subjets of the Emperor of Japan, whofe Name was Dayfufi7za, and the Philippines and New-Spain. The Neighbourhood of thole Provinces, the Power of the J.ponefe Kings, their natural Difpofition, and other Confiderations, which Experience had fhown to be of great Moment, made agaiift refuting of that Commerce; and yet there were Opinions to the contrary, for thofe very Reafons. HI-owever that barbarous Prince liaving once efpous'd that Affair, it was not eafy to lind out an Expedient to fettle it, without any Jealoufy or Difgufl. Dayfufna demanded, that the -paniards fhould trade to Qianto, a Port in one of his Provinces, and that fuch Friendlhip might be eflablifi'd, that the Japonefes might go over to New-Spain. That the Governour fliould fend him Ship-. wrights, and Workmen to build Ships in Jnpan, for performing of that t Voyage, upon which Da)ufatma was very intent, being peri'waded to it flr by a Religious Man of ours, of the Oider of St. Francis, whofe Name was F. j7roms of JES US, and for whom that Monarch had a great Efleem. This was a Matter of great Weight, and on feveral Accounts moft prejudicial to the Philippinc Iflands, whofe greatef Security for fo many Years, hasconfifled in the Jntponefe's wanting of Ships and Pilots, and be- Olje;m:.; ing ignorant in the Art of Navigation. Men of Experience obferv'd, that /to il.'I, B 1,;'\zvtlheln 182 Thve Thfoveiy, and Con quie.ft of when! oever the faid haughity barbarous Prince has attempted to arm againif Mlanila, he has (till bee'n obflrudffed by this Want. They faid, that to fetid him Ship-Wrights, and Mlen to build him Ships after the Spani;7 Mlanner, would be no other than arming him agai nfi the Spair:phr. felVes; and that their Vroyages wou'd be deflruffive to the Philippines and -New-S'pain; for that the making thie.7.iponef'e: capable of Tradingr far off was not only inconvenient, but unfafe. The Governour Don Ped,*o de Acunna ferioufly weighing all thefe Reafons, or'der'd the Emnbaffador Chiuio tbemgicntly entertain'd, made him fume Prefentsfohs King and for himfeif, and fent a Ship with another moderate Prefient, 1eix it fhould be interpreted to proceed from Fear, if' it had been too confidera.. Ible. This Ship fail'd with Dayfufiina and his Em~baffiador, both of theal loaded withi Commodities to barter. Don Pedro's Letters contain'd many Compliments, and Thanks for the good Will he fhow'd towards eltahblifhiing more folid, Friendfhip; but that, tho' he had ample Commiflion for all Things relating to the Government of the Philippine Illands; yet lie could not fati~fy that Part of his Embaffy, which concern'd the furnifhiing of him with Sailors and Workmen to builIdsRpanzifh Siiips, without acCIuain-. ting thle Viceroy of Newr-Spain, nor could the -Viceroy do it., without fpecial Orders from the King of Spain. That he. prom is'J to wirite to them about it, for promoting the Accompliflirnent of his reafonable Demands; but that he muft confider, it would- be above three Years before they had an Anfwer, becaufe of the great Length, and many Accidents of fuch Voyages. It was orderld that thle aforeflaid F.',Jeroirme fhould hinifeif deli — ver thefe Letters, to Dayfutfaiiia. The Fryar hirnfelf had a private Letter fent him with a Reproo~f for what he had done, and I1frudions how to mend it; and that he fhould fignif'y to the Japonefe Mlonarchi, how highly Thfru7;.,the Governour valuld the Inclination he fhov'd to' fettle. Peace and Corn. on: to F. merce with th paniards, ad his Kindnefs to -them; and at the' fame Times jerome. Ferf~vade him to continue that good Correfpondencec which the.Cover-nour would inviolably obferve; but -that he fhould e'ndeavou'r to divert theKing's Thoughts from fuch Defigns, and never go about to facilitate the..Execution of them; becaufe, tho' perhaps the Emperor then'reigning entertain'd no finifler Meaning, nor had any farther Thought than promoting a Iincre Friendfhip, -yet that mighit be very prejudicial in thie Days of a more mifchitvous Succeffor; who mighlt make an il1'Ufe of his Skill inl 1Navigatiorn, and improve it againift the Perfons that taught it him. The Covernou pois'd he would- foon fend another- SHiP with Commiodities to barter; and he might put the King in Hopes it would- carry over foine Svpan~/Z' Ship-Carpenters to build Ships after their Manner.

Twelhve Dutch Ships achor'dthis lear at the Bar of Goa: They took the Viceroy fo unprovidcd, that they lay at Anchor a Month at the faid Bar, without any Attempt made to remove t1heW. They made great Hazoek amwongfj the Ajerchants Ships on the Coafl of India, without any Oppoitio,. They came from the other Sea, by the Back of Sumatra, to the Streigkt of Sunda. Seven of them arriv'd at Amboyna, the ot'ers being Bafeuefs of then parted from them. lhV7en they enter'd over the Bar, the Governour feit a Portui- two Men, to a/k, whether Don Emanuel was aboard. The Ships hearing of gufe Goae- it, went and.dnchor'd under the Fort. Then the Governor fent three:ounr. or four other Men, who made the Agreement for the furrendering of the fort. W7hen it was fign'd the Dutch drew near; the Gates were open'd to them, and they admitted without flanding one AIufket Shot, or firing a Cannon. They took an Oath of Fidelity to Prince Maurice, and tbe Governor after committing the Treafon, commanded a Black of his won to put him into Irons, faying, The People of the Town had done it. Since that he came hither, xidlkuilks about the Mountains, and I am very eai nefl to take him, that I xn.y make ani Example of him.

Tho' his Mafjefly Jhould fend feveral Galeons, and ma.ny Aen, Iball not be able to do any thing with them in thofe Parts, becaufe the wmaina Thing there, is to have VeJfels that Row, and Mlen that have Serv'd, whereof I ant very deflitute. Friov India nonle can com1e, tho' the Viceroy were never fo willing to furniif me. However, confiding in your LordJlips Worth, and in what you have jinify'd to me by Letter, I will undcrtake this Expedition, believing I Jball find all Things in fiich Readines, that they will fet out from thence the Moment your LordJiip receives Advice from me. I am told your Lordfiip expeits a Gentleman in thofe Parts, who comes to Conquer Camboxa. If he happens to come, I muf put your Lordjipip in Mlind, that the 1.Jt Conquefi is that of the Moluccos, where his aljefy's Forts will be re or'd, and there the faid Gentleman lmay fewv lis Valour, and merit a confiderable Reward from the King. Before the Dutch came to Anlboyna, two Englifh Ships paffed ly that Illand, which felt a Let ter to the Governor of the Fort, to acquaint him, that the Dutch were comling after them, wvith a Dejpgn to poftefs themnelves of' the raid Fort, and therefore they advifedi himr to behave hlimfelf rrHe,' becaufe the Dutch they fpoke of, were a poo' ffaint-hearted People. That, if they had Occafion for Powd;er, Ball, and all othet rcceffaries, they were ready to fupply him, becaufe they were then at Ieace with Sp1ain, and the Conflable of altile was already fent into England, by his MajefJy, to Ratify it: And the Psfl-Mafler-General was Embaffaado in Ordinary. This Intelligence leazes the Rebels no pretence to any Excufrc. Furtado's Letter goes on, to other Particulars, recommending Religious Men, and Commanders and he concludes with Abundance of Compliments, and Courteous Expreflions. -Don Pedro having receiv'd thefe Letters, order'd and haflen'd al neceffary Preparations, with the utmoft Diligence, preffing the Bufine's in,pain, and with the Viceroy at Ioxico, and thought all Delays tedious; but the Apprcbaticn i'86 Th e Difovery and C'on qtiefio Approbation of his Advice. aild th-)e Supplies to p)ut it iin Executioni, beIng to comne from a Center lbo rem1,ote,and w here there lay anl Obligaticen of b~ejii no lefs attentive to all Parts ot the Cirzmmt erence, the bcpedition coul1d Frot her inot pofflibly be brought about lboner. Brother Gafpar GwnqeZ, whoFe InC'afpar telliguence in this Affair, was always- very &material, had presently Intima. Goamez tion of what had been refolv'd on, by Letters from Dont Pedro; and he was forwads l diligent in promoting it, that to advance this Caufe, he crofisd the the x~e-gretell Oceans as readily, as if they had been the Narrow-Seas, wvhkic diflon.part thofe- Iflands; h aving folicited the Viceroy at Mlexico, and then theCounfellors, and Minifters of' State in Spain'. His Argumnen ts and Mfo-~ tives were the fame we have feveral Times mention'd in this Work., i. viding the Wealth of the South int-o three fixt Kinds, precious Stories, and Pearls, Metal and Spice, and Drugs; all which were dfrbtdaoi Enemies,Ev~ li/h and Dutch.

We Thai] not enter upon the Account of thofe Affairs, be.-caufe no more of thiem than have bee i already mention'd, as yet -related to the Moluccoi.

The Votes being taken, it was finally refolv'd to land, beTcatife 2ll Things were ini readinefs; perhaps they conceited that the Enemies Powver was imaginary, and that they would fubnlit at the.Sight aof our Army. Gaillinato 'Was always of the contrary.Opiniuin;becaufe that Weaknefs hie was an Lye-witnefs to, could -.not deceive him; nd therefore that nothing might be wrantin n i Part, tho' he was under Command, but much refpeded, he writ a l Role of the Thingys neceffary for the Defigu in Hand, fetting down in itevith Hand-Spikes for moving of the Artillery, which had inQt been poie in all that Time. By which may,be feen, faid Gallinato, how. great a De-. fed there had been in the Reft. When the Council broke up, Fzurtado told Gallinato, he had lorder'd that as- foon as they lauded, z0ooPor-a tuguefes flhould mount the Guard, with one, Company of S'paniard:.

Gallinato accepted the Command, and valu'd it as was due. They landed on 'the;d of MAlrch,.and as they were drawing up, Furtado would needs place two of his CalourS., and one of the Spanijib in the Van, with;oo Men; the other -three in the Rear; and the Royal Standard, and him feif to be in the- main Bu-. 4y; Gallinato was of Opinion, that all the Colours lhould march' with the main Body, but the General follow'd his own Way. In this Order, they began to move towards 'the 'Enemy, Captain Don Thomzas marching by Gallinato, who afterwa'rds, in a Letter to Don Pedro, ~Y4 faid, le t h is Dany, and upon other Occafions, gave good Proofj, that he evas the Son7 of fuci) a Father, -and thefegrey Hair: of mnine were fiifflciently bonour'd with the Ifflance of fuch a Hand, and I was well defended and fecure. The Enemy being above 700, kept in a ftrong, and fafe Poft, the Shore on which our Mlen marchi'd, being little or nothing, by.

The Enemy fought iii Safety, and did our Men fo mwuch Harm, that GP?~ the firfi Charge Gallinato grave, the Termites fell oni fo furioufly, as to drive us from the Ground we had gain'd. Gallinatoi look'd behind him to fee ' the Colours hie had broughit with himi iin the V an, with the c MenI ~id found them at his Back very thinly Guarded. Thus the fecond Time1 thft, Shout was given to fall on, a'nd beagain obiig'd to retire, becaufe hie had 'fewer Men every tinme,and the lafi they were Ucarce twventy.

The woik was begun, and the En- m7y obflrud'ed it twice, fending out Parties to prevent planting the Cabions, and dive'rt the' Workmen; but they retir'd both times with lof's. When the Trench was finillied, GalliOnto fent to the General to comec to it..He came and took up his Quarters, Spaniards with all his Mcei, bringingy the Royal Standard, and all the Colours. Intrech The next Day hie judg'd it convenient to carry the Lodgment forward. G1,1iinato undertook it, and with his Men finifh'~d the TrenchwtiiTece i~oo acesof thie Enemies Fort.

On the Ninho h-fm otbefore the Fort had been well view'd, he went to open the Trench, with his own Mlen, and ro0 Portzi guefes, ai little above xoo Paces from the Walls', which beig lb near they all foon perceiv'd the danger of the Undertakingr. It was the *vorfe for th6 Confufion and Noife in filling; the Gabl.ions. The next Day the Cannon was brought thither, being forGun, tw3 thirteen, and two lix~teen IP P ounders. Thefe fixteen Pounders, w%%hich the Potuguefe Soldi-.ers call Camels, are fhort Pieces, unfit for Battery; befides that the Bul-. &0oc B'zd les were made of Stone, and broke as-foon as they touch'd the Wall; be- tt ing only fit to fire at the Houfes. Gallilnato feeing this, told the General lt 52i that fince before they lan ded he faid, he had Cannon, he Thould order itfr a'tto be 'brought on, 'and planted in Battery, now he faw how ineffedual ' that they had prov'd. He anfwver'd, that there was all he had, having left the belt in fome Places he recover'd thel foregoing Year; and could not bring any more fuch, by Reafun of the Ilormy WNeather. This being mounted, the Battery began; but being fo improper for this Th e L'7.Purpofe, it w as canonadingr the Air; for the Enemy- overlook.'d, and wvas cnis ftreugthen'd by a Stone.- Calavalier, which is that of Our Lady, next the Sti-cnrt7 D d 'Sea, 198 The D fover: and conqitef of Sea.

On the Land Side ran the Curtin of the 'Wall, as far as the Stone Bullwark, call'd, C'achil Tubo, fortify'd outwards with M-affy Timbers,, Oil which there were three large Guits, and two on the W4all1 firom thjs Bu~ll wark to that 6four Lady.

The Friendjhip the King of 'ydore promis for advancig of his MajeJly's Service, has prov'd fo f/lfe, that he has perform'd nothing of what rnas concerted with hint thbo'fo reafonable, andt beneficial to him/felf; having nl) been free in fYords, Iut / is Arlions have not yet been feen.

They demand Powder and Ball,for every trivial Undertaking, that fo tc e y y confumre the little we have left; and when there is any Fork to be done, there are no Men for it. Of the few Amboynefes I brought with me,for this Purpofe, their Labour being great, fome are return'd home, others gone to the Enemy. Thofe that remain are not finfcient, and 7mofl of vt.'w- has been hithcrto done is owing to the Infantry; which is fo harrafs'd, that it can do no Service. Thc Etemy expelIs Dutch Ships, and knows they are now at Banda. 1 have Intelligence that they have fent for them, and if they come they will be a great Obaflcle to our Defigns. Confidering what I have difcours'd of, I deire you, Gentleymen, and every one of youftlill under the Obligation of the Oath, to give me your Opinions, that according to them I miy refolve what to do. in purfuance of the reeat Duty incumbent on me. Upon the Requeft of the Captains, the General Furtado gave in thefe Propofals in writing,tio' he oppos'd it at firft. In fhort they were written, as were the Opinions of the Councellors, among whom the greater Part, even of the Portuguefes oppos'd the General; and tho' I ought to give fome Account of their Votes, becaufe thley had all different Views, yet, in Regard that moft of them affented to Gallinato's Opinion, it will fuflice to fcet down his Anfwer.

For, if this be not done they will put Succours into the Place, wrhich tho' never fo inconfiderable, as lut of Ico ullkets, wxold be ve y prejudicial to us; befides that, it will be a great Difreputation, not to meet them out t Sea. Js to the Mensfickning, l ebig kitrd and woundedrwe fay, t aofre are rf fortunes always attenidin lt ar; and +that we are fnille how fij the Army grows weak, for which Reafon, it will be neceffay to ibe tf'e more expeditious in the WIork we have in Hand; yet fo that neither too much Precititation tmay expofe it to Hazards, nor Delay give Time for all the Army to fall Sick. ds for the Scarcity of Provifions, o0ur Opinio:i is, that an Account.be taken of what we have, how much is confitn"'d in a l!_onth, and thus the necegary Dijiribution may be madde in Time; for ctherrwife we f.al fall1o rt, when we 1eaft extee7 it; and Hunger will do us more tlIarm than the Enemy. To the Danger of the Ships threatned by the Plots, and their Alhice to go over to Tydore, we anfwer. That if the Fleet quits the Station where it is, it will e a manifeft Detritment to the A y, hich is fupPly'd froi it with all it Iants, and miltj want. every Thing upon itr Alfence. Bcfides, that if the Enemy fee it once gone, they will take frecj/ Couragi; and if the Dutch coime anzdfind the Harbour empty, it is plain they will poffe/s themfelves of it. Again, if the Fleet makes off, ituf not a conjidra lie Number of t.e Soldiers go for its Secnrity? Now how can it be proper to divide our Forces; efpecia!ly cotnidering they are fo finall, and the ien fo fickl? Bejides that here is no Place to lay. up the Provifions, for the Iaters 2c-.fioy them by Day and Night. Whiljl aboard the fleet, the Soldiers have it daily brought frefo and wholefomne. Farther, the Pilots, and N.atives of 'ydore,jfy the Ships arcfafe in the Harbour till after the Middlle of April. IYe have had T;yal cf the Enemies Power, and believe they have Men, A.,nmiunhtio, and Cann.on to fpare, conjidering our Condition; and the Commalnders, and Deferters from them confiarm it. But neither can it be deny'd, that the vteyfirf Day we in a'd as w e h bcebn told by Prifoners, and wounded Men, Tooo of the bei Men they had in T.'rnate came out to flop cur 'Paj:gc with five Pieces of Cannon, and o pofled, that only two of our len cnuld come up a Breaft to charge thelm; and yet they with all therf Odds, w ere beaten of with the Lofs of many Men, as appear' dy the dead Bodies, fcatter'd along the Shorc, where they alfo loft their Adrllcy.

Vle our felves will make amendsfor the lant of Labourers; we will be both Soldiers and Pioniers, as we have hitherto been; for the Sword and the Spade are equally honourable info jufl a War; and we again offer our felves, and onr Soldier:, to ~erform whatfoever fiall be for the Service of God and the King. It is'therefore our Opinion, that the Galeons remove i mmediately; that two of theCm Anchor between our Ladies Cavalier, and S. Paul, and batter the inride of the Cavalier, and the other two, the Houfe of S. Paul, the Fort, and the Town. Then of Necefjity the Defendants within mt if fiy,ince the Defence of the Stone Parapet, is but a meer Show, except only where it looks upon the open Countty. A.s foon as the Galeons begin to batter, we will alfo batter the..Ravelin before the Cavalier, where thefeven Pieces of Cannron are, which will certaily be ruin'din two Hours, becaufe our Fobrt ofS. Chriflopher commands then, and the Thicknefs is not alboe a iathom7. To conclude, My Lord, the. V/ant of Iov'iJions, and of He.lth, the coming of the Dutch, the Refnlution of the Befieged, of all other fDificulties will be furitmunred 1by Celerity. WVe are ready to perform all Things on our Part; it belongs to your Lordfjip to make Tryal of our Promife. It will not be reafonable 7immediately to abandon the mall Remazins of Chrijiianity in the.Moluccos, and the IIoes of regaining what has been loft, in vnin endeavourld forfo many 1ears, at the Expence of fo many Millions of AIotJeyfo many Lives, and the Honour ofEuropean Nations, by tur ning our BackS zFon fo holy an Undertaking. This Anfwer was fent in a Paper figned ldy the Captains, to fatisfy all Fu his Doubts, for they anfwer'd others by Word of Mouth, which were. ilarted by.the Portuguefe Commanders to perfwade drawilg off; but dilboles the General Thanking both Parties for ther Zeal in Advifing, broke up j: and the Council; and on Saturday the 2zd, came to a Refolution, which he il ada left to be put in Execution the next Day. That Night he drew off the out t * Cannon; and on Sunday Night, at the fecond Watch, the Forces began to March towards the Shore, where the Ships lay to take in the Mlen. The Admiral, Thomas de Soufa, led the Van; the Geteral and his Officers,the Mlain Body; and John Xuarez Gailinato, with the Captains Don Thomas Bravo, John Fernandez de Torres, and Chriflopher Villagra, and the Mufketiers, brought up the Rear. In this Order the Foot were Shipp'd off, he and got all aboard by the Morning. At the fame time two Dutch Men, P of thofe that were in the Fort with the Enemy, fled from it, and came to tlhe Ships. Among other Intelligence, they told tlie Spaniards how firong the Eneny were in Mlen and Cainnon: Thar they had 36 heavy Pieces rotunted 202 T1ie Difovery and ConqzreJf of mounted on tile Ravelin near our Ladies; feven on Cachil Trlo's Baflion; three between them; and two on the Cavalier; three at S. Pat:ls; eight in the Main Fo.:; three at Litnatac; tlhree more on that Eaillon, and four moie near it. This Day Furtado propos'd to fail away with the Fleet towards Amlloyna, but wanting Wvater, put it off for foir Days, and during that time Gallia7to 1htado ad leal re to Difcourle him, tin. he was going away, about providing /'e:,l To thle Fort of Tydore, which could not be Maintain'd withlut Supplies. lIe / to, Ty- Anfwer'd, He was very willing to do it, but could not, and therefore (lore, 'a. would fend Sue. ours from A:icyna. Application was m:.e to him to proo/r P vide for other Wants, which concern'd his Majefiies Service, to which he return'd the fame Anfwer. He prefs'd him to confider, in what Condition he left the Fort of Ml.ichian, whereto particular R-gard ought to be had, becaufe there were 5o Men and a Captain, witil the f.,all Veffel call'd a IaclIian Galzabra, and lie muif either Relieve, or Difuiantle it.

Having taken this Older, and Leave of the Commanders, he fet fail on 'Thur/raythe z7th of lMarch, fending a Letter to Don Pedi o de dcunna, the Governour of the Philipine Iflands, with an Account of the Particulars of this Enterprize: A fmall Part of it will fuffice to exprefs the Thoughts and Intention of fo Difcreet a Commander as he has been prov'd by his former and later Aclions; for it is not to be believ'd that he would quit the Attempt upon Ternate, without filtantiai Reafons; The Succollr your Lor'Part ofjip fent me, fays he, ly Gods AJilance, camle in good Tiue; for it wr P;oFurtado's ridence that furnifibed his MIajejly wIith this Fleet, andd fav'd the Lives of Letter to s, whofill enj.y them.

By this your Lordjhip may guefs at the Condition I am in. This Letter dilates *upon the Co plaints againft the Governours of India. He promifes Don Pedro, that if he meets with any Succours at Amtboyna, and is not cblig'd.to go relieve the fouthern Parts, he will return to the Moluccos, tho' he be forc'd to go refit as far as Malaca. He praifes and recommends tlle,Captains Gallinato, Don Thomas, 'illagra, and their fellow Soldiers, and,fo concludes the Letter.

InI his Youtli he gave luch Hopes, as were afterwards fulfilI'd lv o" "'J- his Adlions. ~He was then Gentleman of the Bed-Camber to our King. The World made the fame Judgment of him, that the Senate or,nte Ihd, in his Time of Scipio, afterwards call'd Africamrs when it made a Scrupt) of entruiting him with Matters of great Difficulty becaufe he was tb young. But Experience foon made appear in the Earl, as well as inl &i'iO, that Prudence, which regulates all other Virtues, often anticipates grev Hairs. It is no Merit of the Off-fpring to be defcended from N(oble, o1 Plebeyan Families; but fucll was the Vivacity of this great Man's Spiri. anld Judgment, that had he been born Mean, he might by his own natural This was Parts have nmade his Fortune. No Man can fay he wanted publick or prL writ whJen vate Accomplifnnelnt. In' him appears a fettled Magnanimity; with, he was Ii- courteous Sincerity; yet temper'd with that Juftice we extol in the fevere z, ing. Aufterenefs of fome of the Ancients. Thefe Virtues are interiwoven with Religion, a Zeal for its Propagation, and the univerfal Agreement, whichz is the Produ&t of publick Tranquility. Thus he ferv'd his King, with Care and Solicitude; without Intermiftion, or feeking himfelf and his Ad. vantage. It will be requifite to be brief in this Particular, becaufe his fin* gular Modefty is not pleas'd with the Scothings of Comamendation; but is as averfe to Flattery, as remote from fhanding in need of it. Member of The Earl found the Council fill'd with zealous and grave Men; the Lords the riid Be nedig Rodri;guez Vi ltodano, Peter Bravo de Sotomayor, Alcnfo Molina die -ouncilz at AICedrno, Knight of the Order of Santiago, or S.

Thefe were Counfellors, and the laft of them Solicitor General offthat Affembly. To which alfo belong'd Jobn de rbarra, Knight of the Order of Calatrava^ and Commendary of lAoratalaz, and Tlter de Lcdefina, the King's Secretaries. In the Places of the Licenciates, Alol5,ia de Aledrano, and Gonzalo de &Aonte, whom his Majefly afterwards employ'd in his Royal Council of Cafile, and in thofe of fome who dy'd, his Majefly, at feveral Times put in the Licenciates, Lewis de 'alcedo, Gudiel, and Don Francis de Texada y de AMendoza, Doator Bernard de Olmedilla, and John de Tlharra, &c. All thefe amidft that Multitude ot Bufinefs they dexteroufly difratch'd, laid ail their main Defigns, for the reftoring his Maje fy's Monarchy to its Fulnefs,. in thofe utmoft Limits of it; a Projed fuicable to the Lenius of the new Prefident. He enquiring into the general and rarticular Poflure of all Things then depending, met with that of the AlolIcco Iflands, and finding it of Confequence, and almoft forgotten, inclin'd Sr. Gafpar to give it a helping H1and, Gomez,!- Much about this Time, Brother Gafpar Gomez came into Spain, being. vs the lfent by Don Pedro de Acunlt7.1, to folicite that Enterprize. The Brother at Cozrc: feveral tedious Audiences, gave the Peifident full Information of all that concern'd OF U * ~~~~~~~the SPICE-ISLANDS. 0 conc-ern'd the Alolucco'Iflands, their Wealth, thie great Treafure S~pain ha s -expended 'in Attemt torcvrthem, to reflore p!r~ecuted Chriffilanity, where ir' bad been fo much ireceiv'd; and what ICOnfecuence it was, that this fnouid be done by. Way of the Phji~ippi-ne Iflands. The Earl undertook that Caufe, as fuch oughit to be' ILlprorted, and confulted about'it with the Co'uncil, with the Dul'eof Ler ma,- and molt particularly with the King's Confeffor. He never'defifled, till it was brought ti bandII fbch Porwardnefs, that it might be efie~ically difpatch'd. The M~emibers of tihs fupreamn Council, with the famne Zeal, and confidetingy the repeated TDi1 appointments Ot this Enterprize, forwarded the E-pedition, and all of thiem agreed thatlI)onzPedro de lcuLna fhould undertake it in Per fon. This favourable -Difofition of theirs, wvas fully confirm'd, by the News biought a Year after, of the ill Succefs of the united Forces of India under Fia-tada, and thofe oifthe IPhilippine Ifland-s, under Gallinato. It was writ by Don 1)e'dro de Acunnz, def,-ribing it to the Life, with Duplicates fur his MAa-. jefly, anid the prime Mliniflers, and though he left much to Brother Oafpar- Gomzez, he was very Particular himfelf. He complainkl that they had let flip fuch an Opportunity-'of Recovering 7'ern ae, and chafiing the Dutch, w'ho refort thither to *the' Trade ot. Clove, Mlace, and other Spice, and Drugs., He reprefeinted the Danger the DnPPhlppine Iflands w.ere in, after tha't Neighibouring Tyrant's ioy n i eAthat having more parttcularly weigrhed the Circumnfiances of that Affair, cunna': bdfides the Niec'effity of regaioni the Reputation loft there, he found that letter co,,,whatfoever has been yet faid, was fhort. For not to mention the principal ce r mlqg End, whichi was the Propagration of the Faith, but only with Regard to the En tcr-.. the King's Revenue, he fhow'd, That, Ternate being.reduc'd it would beprecz eafie to fiubdue the Iflafids of Banda, which-are above thirty, lying about Teriate, a -hundred Leagues from the Molucco1s', full of valuable Mlace, and pofl'efs~d by an unwvar —like People, would add that Income to Spain, and take it'from the D&O::ch, who carry all away., with little or nu Oppofhtion. Hie promnis'd the fame as to the Iflands Papuas, which are many, not fair diflant from Termite, fumne of them Subjeaqs to that King, and yeilding himn a confider-. be Quantity of Gold, Am-ber, and other valuable Tribute. Then he ex-. tene tthGraBaciaor Gil'olodefcribing its Fertility, 'and how that Tyrannical King C'pprefs'd it. Thofe of Cclcbles 45 Leagues from Tet witte, where he had firong Garrifons. The Greater and Leffier Jazoas, whoI~ Kings would agi umtt pain, a s foon a s the Mfoluccos wvere brought under. He earnefily recommended Secrefie and Expedition. TO evince the Neceflity -of both, befides the ufuial Reafons, he urg'd tbat as foon as -thofe Rebels and the Dutch hear of any War-.like Preparations, they fpare' neither Cofl, nor Labour,, to Make all nec'effary Provifion;, and that they never fail by the Coaffs of fndia without ruining, and pl~undering themn. — He affirm'd that the General fuirtado was no, weay to blame for ha-* ving aibandon'd that Enterprize;- for as it plainly appear' d, and Captainl Gallihato declarld he had always behav'd himfeif like a brave Gentieman, and difcteet Commander;but that befides the Want of Provifions aind A mmunition, he could not relie upon his own Men;- and that if the Succours fent hfim from. Manila had been more cobnfiderable, he would have hazard-. ed all with only themn. He faid., the King of Tydore had fent him great ~~ e ~~~Complainits 2o6 Th e D fove9 and conqieji of Co.nplaints againift the General Fur tado, and~ that it was a commnnon fayhig wvith hirn.

Yet he believ'Id hie was not heartily forr'Y for the Difappointmeit. The fame he urg'd in Relatint the Kings of Ba.chian and' Sian. He concluded, offering to undertake that Affiair in Perfon, provided hie mighit be furnifh'ld with what wvas neceffary, that hie migjht uict be Di.. flrefs'd as his Predecefliors had been. Then he wenlt On, by Way of Anfwer to the Objedions, or Accufations of the Spnl Coiines jh engVs'd tQ the Wars in Europe, defpis'd all other Enemies,' who made war without all thofe Engines, and Fire-Armis us'd. in Flanders, France, n England. lie fays, none of thofe Eafle'rn Provinces wanted any of the [Inventions we have in Europe; and that befides the great Numbers they hve, and the Dexterity in ufing them of the Japonefe s, C'ineftsAiindanao,._ and Afoluccosv they are no lefs e-xpert at their Bows, and Arrows; efpecial.

He owns the Mohi1CCO Ifbn ds can not Hand in Competition, with the firoug arid populous Cities taken in our Parts, but that neverthelefs, fo many.

Motive to haften the Prerarations, recover the loft Reputation, and pur an End at once to that Strife. Some attributed the Mifcarriage to Difagreement between Gallinato and Furtado;.. others fufp.eede the Difcord had been between the. SpaniA and Portuguefe Nations.

Thefe Debates ended, and the Prefident efpoufing tie Bufilefs with the Refolutiolz - ~ that was requifite, reprefented the Matter in a lively Manner to the King, recounting what the General Furtado had done, th.- Succouis fent by Don Pedro de Acunna under Gallinato and how, tho' the Officers and Soldiers TEc Pre- did theirDuty, theSuccefs fail'd. That it was look'd upon as. molt cerfidents Re. tain, That the Molucco Kings, who fill continued under Subjeaion, had mo;ftrance aded coldly.

They e.alfo hang'd other Merchants, and fome, beingr about 8o in Number, hang'-d themelve, to prevent falling into their Hands, which is very frequent in theat Country. One of thefe was the Sangley General himfeif, call'd., ivsobntay. F.

He, before he would fpeak his, Mind, told them it would be proper to fet up a Gallows, and the Heads of the Spiare': Oil it, that being in View, they might all ta1ie Courage to fight nianOf fully.

By this TiLle certain Indiam Women had hid BnptiJi in a Chamber, where th!e Soldier. entering by Force, bound him, and he was caLt into Prifon among other Chinefes. The Tryal was {hort, as is ufual in the MIartial Way, and in the mean while the Prifoners were remov'd to Captain Gallinato's Houfe. Thitlercame a 7aponefe Boy, enquiring for Baptift. They found his Pocket full of Squibs, and another Boy with a Piece of a Wax-Candle, all which was given them by one of Baptif's Slaves. The Squibs were all blo:dy, perhaps it was fome Chrifian's Gore.

Next appear'd the Ring-leaders of the hi;fel,.

Other Colours were found with the Army that fought at Dilao, with a Cut on them containing the Chinefe Figures of Encan, or Baptift. Several Religious Men, at this Time fought againit the Mutiniers; but Botlc amnon-them all, fpecial Praife is due to the Valour of the Lay-Brother in- tony Flores, of the Order of S. Agufjli. He was born in Eflrenadura, Antony had ferv'd in Flanders, was a Slave in Turkey above zo Years, and made bFrs. a his Efcape out ofthe Inland Country by his Valour and Induftry. He went brave over to the Philippine Iflands, where he chearfully took the Habit, in the n Monaflery of S. Algliftin at Manila. He always ihow'd great Humility in Obedience, and loft nothing of his Courage in the Simplicity of a Reliious Life. Hinl the Governour order'd to fcour the River, in the Galliot belonging to the Monaflery, fighting the Ships and Chtamgpane of the S.n,glyey:. One Night after having drove from the Shore above zoo Vefels, burnt fome large ones, and funk others, he ftay'd in the Middle of the Ri- Doesg oo ver Pa3'g, to obferve the Sangleyes. Between eleven and twelve, he per- Service. ceived that one of the Rebels was fwimming over to the City, and the Darknefs caufing him to miflake, he lighted upon Brother A7ntoy's Galli- Tae a or.

The Governour having this Intelligence, took the neceffary Precautions fer the ne-xt Day, and Brother A?:tony return'd to his Munafie;y, where hie furnifh'ld himfeiF with Meal and other Provifions for his (3alliot.

However they advanc'd boldly, till the Gun tore others in Pieces, and they retirt'd, abandoning the Miacint.

ThteGovernour believing the Defign of the Sangleyes was to gainl Time, and perhaps to expea fome Supplies trom China, which might be prohnis'd by the.Alandarines,' before they went away; he thought it requifite to bring the 'War to a fpeedy Concluflon, becaufe. the Enemy fortiiy'd theimfelves daily, and made Excurfions fromn their Forts, to fcour' the Country, and gather in the Rice; perfwvading the Natives to joyn with chem;tho' they were fo far from complying, that they kill'd all they could meet wvith. There were feveral, other Reafons which pro-v'd that the greateft Safety confifled in Expedition, and thereibre abundance of Spaird: and Natives, by the Governour's Order, were always in Qfiof the firagglhig C'hbzu/es. Howeve'r it was judg'd expedient to prefs them' yet niearer, and not allow them Time, as they wilh'ld, till the Rice was ripe', fince Hun-. ger mullt prove their greateft Enemy. To this Purpofe it was tho'ught Expedient to make u'fe of trufly neighbouring People.~ Parnijanguir is a Province ten Leagues from Manila., beyond the Towvn of Tondo, over the River Pajion wvhichi the Citizens have convenient finall, Veffels.

The Chinefes that Dyv'd.t Luzon were not to blamc, and I, an.I fonme others have acquainted the King with fo much; as alfo with theC coming of two Englifh Ships upon thefe CoaJIl of Chincheo, a Thing very dangerous for China, that the King may relolve what is to I e done in two Af. airs of 'fuch Confequence. I'e aife Wr'it to the King, to order two Sarigleyes to be punijltJd,for having flown the Harbour to the Englifh. lnd after having Writ as aforefaid to the Kiig, he anfwer'd, lJVhat diid ihe Englifl Ships come into China for? lWhether they came to Rob? That they f'ould be order'd to dep-,rt thence immediately to Luzon; and to tell thofc of Luzon that thcyj IZould not give Credit to the wicked and lying Pefrons among the Chinefes; an i' that they Jhould immediately k:ill the two Sangleyes. As for the refl we writ to him about, be anfrer'd that iwe Jfl}ild do our Iiils. The Viceroy, the Eunuch and I, after receiving this Order, do now fend thcJe our Letters to the Governour of Luzon, that his Lord. Ifip may be acquainted with the Grandeur of the King of China; for he:s fo Gieat that he governs all the Sun and Moon fmine oin; aI alJo that the Governour of Luzon may know how well this fo large Kingdom is goveidn'd res whofe King none has dar'd to offend this long Time. And tho' the Japonefes 'd have atteitpte I. to difturb Corea, which belongs to the Govern'ment of China, that have not fucceeded; but have been expell'd thence, and Corea has remaint d very peaceable and uiet, as is wrell known by Falme to the People of Luzon. The lafl car, when we were inform'd, that fo many Chinefes were fla;n at Luzon, on the 1ccount of Tioneg's faljhood, wre met many Mandarines of 7ts to agree to propofe to the King, that he would revenge fo great a rds $laughtcr. lWe faid, that the Land of Luzon ispoor, of no Value, and that d formerly it was the Habitation of none but Devils and Snakes; and that he fo many Sangleyes having of late Years gone to Trade with the Caflillas, ter they are now grown fo great; the faid Sangleyes having labourd fJo mltUch there building lYalls, and Houfes, making Gardens, and other Things very e. d vacnt,7,gcous to the Caffillas. And fince this is fo, why had not the Caflil- as confidr'd there Things, nor been grateful for thefe good Turns, but on the con'rary fo cruelly drjrcy'd fo many Men? And tho' we, two or three Times, 7Writ to the King as abovc, ke being Angry for the aforefaid Things, anfwer'd us, That it was not convenient to take Revenge, nor make War on the Pcople of Luzon, for three Reafons. Firft, Becaufe the Caftillas have for many Years p.,fi, been Friends to the Chinefes. Secondly, Becautfe it could not be known, whether the Vieory wouldfall to the Caflillas, or the Chinekfe. Thirdly, and lafJly, Becavfe the People kill'd by the Caftillas were balfe and ungrateful to their Native Countiy of China, their Parents and Kindred, fince t.:ey had not retuirnd to China in fo many ears; whicl; People the King frid he did not much value, for the aJcr:faid Reafons;:and ie only order'dt.he.

The Governour return'd an Anfwver to thef'Le Letters by the fame Mef Thn- o gers', in Terms full of Civility, and Authority. He gave'a~n Account of thTeGRebellion of the SanglIeyes from its firfi Rife;- juftifying thSpnadtr eoi2 their natural Defence, and the Punifhiment they had hiflite'd on the Crimni- AnwI' ~ nals. He tells them, no State can fubfift without purififing the Wicked, orthMarewarding the Good and therefore he does not repent that Execution, Le-daie caufe it was to fupprefs tbofe that would have deflroy'd uS. That the Vi-fitor ought to confider what he would do, in Cafe'the like had happen'd to him in' Chin'a., That the only Thing which troubled hifi was, that hpcould not fave fome Sangley Merchants.dnhayes, who dy'd among the guilty; but that it was not poflible to prevent it, becaufe the feverity of War will not allow the killing of Comle, and exempting of others; efpecially, they not being known by the Soldiers in the Heat of Afflon. That ufingr Mdercy towards thofe tha't were taken alive~h codrdte orwin the Gal.'eys, the Punifhiment fubftituted amongqthe (Caflillas for fuch'as deferve' Death. Yet if it fhould be thought in China that it ought to be moderated, they Iball be fet at Liberty. But let it be confider'd, faid Don Pedro, that the niot punifhing of fo hei nous an Offence, may be the Occafion of their falling Into it agahin 'which would exclude all Mercy-. The Goods of the Ghhzcfes that were kill'd are fafe laid up, and to fhow I had no othe'r Motive, but the.Execution of Juflice, I will order them to be immediately deliver'd to their Heirs,. or to fuch Perfons, as they of Right Lelong to. Nothing but Jufi ice inclinas' me to any of thefe Thing. Your faying, that unlefs I re" leafe the Prifoners,' there will be Leave granted in China to the Kindred of *the flai in the'Rebellion), to come in Arms to Mlanila, does not move me in -the leafi; becaufe I take the Chinefes. to be Co wife, Ithat they will not go' upon fuch Undertakings upo'n a flight Occafion; efpecially, when no PrCvocation has been given.them on our Side. And in Cafe they. Thould be of another Mind there, we SpairsaeMe htko ow to defend our Right, our Reigion, and our Territories. Let not the Chine/cs thin'k 'they are Lords of the World as they pretend; for we caflillas, who have rneafurld every Foot of' it, very we'll know the Lands of the Chinefies;5 and therefore U ii ~~~~~they M, Z - - hu - - -- - - - 0- - 2~30 Thle D fovery and Gonqurej1 of they ought to underiland, that the King Uof Spain m-aintains Wars wilh Kings as powerful as thei rs, and checks and giveS them much Trouble. Nor is itaniy Thing new with u -,wheni our Enemies thiink they have broughit us under, to be wafiing and defircying their Lands, and niever give over till we have caft them out of their Thrones, and wre fted their'Scepters out of their Hand~s. I fhoul~d be very forry the Commerce fhould be 'illerrup. ted; but at the fame Time, believe the Cljilnefes are not willing to lofe ir, fince it is fo advantagreous to them, for they carry Home our Si'vr which never wafl'es, in Exchange for their Commroditieswi h are lgchns Thon fpoi~d. It was difcteetly done, not to admit the Lugelifi Ships 0hat appea'd upon the Coafi, for they are nor Spaiad, u ther Enemies, and Pyrares; for which Reafbn they flhould have been punifhi'd, had they come to Mani/a. To conclude, for as much as wie Spaniards always juftify our Proceedings, arid value our felves uI)ofl the W-orlds not being able to fay, *we Ufurp the Right of others, or make War onl our Friends, what is here promis'd fhall be performr'd. And the Chinefes may tak~e Notice, for the future, that we never do any Thing out of Fear, or on Account of our En-. emies Threats.

They chas'd zrhemn, and -tho,7 Thzke~s tnwo they fled amain, beingr purfuld with'no leli S'wifrnefs, the Ditclb Rob-bers POrcugues overtook, and after a fharrp Engagement enter'd them.

ThenCe they fent away a Shlip to C~am!~aya, to exchange the Ivory they had not long before robb d our People of, a6lin.~r not like Pyrates, but Merchants who difp ofe of the W~ealth'they p)ick up by Trade, and fucceeded profperoufly in all their Undertakingys. They fent two More Shlips to ~en,9nl1i, With other Commirodities; all %which return'd it- dule" Ai Time COn1fiderably enrich'd. Perceivingc that no- Power oppos'd them, they fail- ed down the Coafi of Ma'labarr taIn wheretee the thugtre~an took aotherPortuuefe effel, call'd a Foil, which had zi Oar"; nd aft.~ ter unladingr the Bucty, they litted her up their Why, and took hei- along with them. After this they bent'their Thoughts upon greater Matteis, to which End Zaniori they fent an Enibaffy to the Zamnori, which Name imports as much as Cefnr f~~Jc among us,- and he is Kingr of C'alicut, a F1riend and Confederate -with the Ctr D.tch. 1-ayingy agreed upon an Interview, they fell to -Trade, -and whilft t~he rell attended Commerce, and private Gain, the Admiral cctifulted about State Affirconcerting to carry oil the War againfi the, 8panhirds, and more Particularly the Port uguefes. They fettled the Time, and 'the For-es they were to jovn for that L~ffeft. Then they diverted them'felves with Feafi- Joi e in' and Treats. At one of which, by way of Farewel, Zamcri, gave Ad- t ) Dutch1. miral Dr-age an Emeraud, thought to be the largeft and beaut'ifuillell in the World.' They went oi, and took fioie Prizes on the Coaft of Yeva, and amnong them a fmnall Shiip, in which were Don M~anuel de Mlelo,. Comman*der int Chief of the Moluccos, and his Wife, who was oblig'd to fight as wfell as ber Hufband, and yet they could not (efecape Captivity. The nearer they drew to Ternzate, the more confiderable Encounters they had, for in.j~. Sight of Amboyna they fell in with a Frigrat comituin from the Alou' to The Anchior in that Ifland wbich they took, and in her Captain' A-ntony Machado, h her Commander. They flay'd at Arnboyna, hoping to recover what they.,Portu.uef had loft, either by Treachery, or Force. The Year i6c5 had now cowmenl- a ced, and they begran their Work on the z~d of Fe1'rualy Amboy I.; Eight Ships and fixc Tenders enter'd lhe Port, and the Fort was furre' Drag der'd to them without much Difficulty, or Oppofition. They alfo poffefs'd takcs Am~themfelv'es of the Portuguefe Colony. Thofe People feeing the. 'Dtc fo bo na - llrong in Men and Cannon, durfi nor, nor could t~hey well opipofe, them. Forty Portuguefes took an Oath of Fidelity to the Prince of Orangc's Baflard Son. They put the Commander in Chiet into fro ns, and deliver'd the Fort to the Dutch, alledgirig, for an Excufe, that they had not Ammunition to de-. fendtrhemfelves. TheIre was another greater Mifehiefwhiich wastrhat the Natives favour'd -the Dutch, as their Deliverer6 from the Portupisgfe Yoke;o and they are well belov'd there, and in all Places where they Tradel, becaufe 6 l of late they have taken this CoUrfe, not to meddle with their Relgin nor Carcoas. fo miuch as mention it, unlefs, where any will embrace Chriflianity on theiJr own Accor~d. They neither wrong'd nc~r dil'Ur'd any Body; and to Thow they would elways maintain theari in tha~t'!Security Within five Days, they fitted Out 40- Carcoas, to defend the Natives agrain1f any Enemy, The Admiral pick'd out three of the Ships and went hInIfeEwthmIndians -to the Iflands'of Baxnda, to B3ad Nutmeg, Mace, and Clo~ve, there and at wvell a fe!Z.& 4;uboy'na. The Famne of this Succefs, and thie Hatred conceiv'd agi ftteed to tZc Spaniard:, were fo favourable to this Nation, that; t this Tim the, people Dutch,' H hzO __ _ _ 232 The Difcoveiy and ConqueJl of -- -- -7 of Amnboyna,Ito, lVeranula, and other Places,had their Embaffadors at Sunda' to expe& this Fleet, which came from Home at their Rcqueft. Before they fet out from Holland they had receiv'd Embaffadors frem the King of 4Aclenz in Sumatra, to the fame End. For this Rearon the Du:ch give out, that they come to revenge the Wrong:,thePortuguefes and Spaniards lave done to the Natives, and to reflore the.n to their Liberty. The Defigns of thefe perfidious Peop:e were no longer a Secret; for the Admiral Drage refitted five of his Ships, and fent them to the Aoluccos, to take the Fort and Kingdom of Tydore, the only one that continu'd in Subjedion to Spa~in; and it was publickly rerorted, that the King of Tern.te would forward the Enterprize with his Ships and Men. The Dutch Vice-Admiral fail'd with thefe Ships flopping by the Way to make his Advantage, take in the Refrefhments in their Fadories, and lade Pepper, and other Spice. Every Thing T23e Dutch fucceeded as they could wifh, tho' they afpir'd to fome Matters which rejrofPerous quir'd a greater Power than they brought. They intended to pafs by the Streight of dca~pdco, and there to lie in wait for the Ships belonging to the Philippines going and coming, becaufe they knew them to be Rich, and might take them. To this End they delay'd Time, till they could be joyn'd by the two Ships they expeded from Sunda, laden with Pepper, from that plentiful, and fecure Fadory of theirs. - - Aboard the eight Ships there was great Store of Bricks, Lime, and fqua.. red Stones, Wheele-Barrows, and othler Tooles and Materials for Building all which was to be carry'd from the aforefaid Streight, tho' they had aljor Bui. ready began to build it at A'mrioyna, and landing a confiderable Part of thofe dling i: Materials, they left there I 30 Soldiers, to carry on the Works, and Garrize Dutch fon the Fort. At the Heels of this Fleet they expeded another to lay Siege Mv Ps. 0 to AIalaca; defigning from thence to Govern India, as the Poitutgu/efs have Iheir De- done. In Order to this, they had before confederated with the Kings of or, tAchem, and Sunda, with whcfe Affiflance, and that of other Native }.2aftfl~ Sangiacks, they were to overthrow the Power of Portugal; for they were Malaca. refolv'd not to quit India, and fince its Commodities enrich'd them, they would pay for the Expence of the War; befides, that they were already fo wealthy, that even in Flanders the Soldiers deferted from. the Arch-Duke Jlbertus, to ferve them. Notwithflanding this extraordinary Affedion, The En- wherewith the Dutch are entertain'd in all thofe Countries, before they gliih give came to Amboyna, two Englij Ships came to an Anchor near by, and ac. the Spani- quainted the Natives. that a D.tch Squadron was coming to poffefs itfelf ards In- of the Ifland; but bid them not to fear, for it had none but poor fcoundrel tei.gence. Men; and therefore they fhould defend themfelves, offering them their Alliflanceand acquainting them that theCrowns of Spain and England were then in Amity; and therefore mre Subjeds of them both ought to be lb of Courfe. They flighting this favourable Opportunity, clhofe rather to lbeTheirjuft come Subjeds to Prince Maurice, and undergo the Dutch Yoke. The Englih Dealing demanded Clove, and offer'd them their own Price for it, and were fo juft fetcr the that they never joyn'd with the Dutch. In ihort,,Aboyna remain'd it the Leace. Enemies Hands. The People difpers'd, many of them went to MAalaca, and among the reft, the Commander in chief, Don LEmanuel de Melo, with fome Jortvguefes, Others repai'd to the Ifland of (,ebu, part of the P'/Uippines aad U the SPICE-ISLANDS, 33 and other Places, for riteV had all their Liberty. They all departed Amll.oy7za -about the middle of?lay;, lut x ithout their Goods, or Spice; being pofitively forbid tLat Trade, the tuzch aJhldging it was all their own. One ofthofe Eiglitv Ships failing along tiofe Coafls, and efcaping the Tcygi;'e Ridges of Rccks,. got before-hand to the Port of Tydoic. They call'd the IntfcliCommander in.Chief ofthe Fort, Peter Aivaez A'1r cu, and inform'd hlim, gc'cCE of tlat they left the Dutch Scqua3rcn fcrtifying tihe ftrong Holds at Amiloyna; the Dutch and that when they had reduc'd all in thofe Seas, they would come to fall at Tydor. uoon Tydore. The Commander in Chief return'd Thanks for that friendly Intelligence; and among other Civilities that pafs'd between them, defir'd to know the Motive that indue-' themn to fhow fuch Kindnefs. Then the EVgulif told. him, That their Kings were Friends, and to convince him of it, and the Danger he was in, olfer d him as much Ammunition as he flood in need of. They gave him Six Barrels o' Powder, ico Cannon Ball., and a Number of Head-Pieces. This. made the Tydo; es and Poriuguefcs begin to fortify th.emfelves, and was-the Produd of the late Peace. A Month after, four great Dutch Ships, and four Tenders, came to the Fo Ifland, where two of the King's Galleons lay at Anchor, with the I'or-.r. tuguefe Ships laden with Goods and Provifious. The Duztc Admiral tent Du.tcn tbe King of Tydore Word, That if lie would deliver himx that Fort,.and! at expell the Port ugucfes, he. would be his Friend; and dcfiring he would no't ydore. fiart any Difficulties, fince hle might eafily do it, being a peaceable King Their Mef in his own Dominions; befides that, they had Men and Strengthl enought f,.qeto the aboard that Squadron, to force them to confent to what tlhey now courte- Kiig. ounfly demanded. The King of Tydorc. fent him a Cow,. and anFlwer'd, That he neither could, nor ought to put the Port ziguefis out of. their Forts, i//s Annor to admit of any other Nation in their Place, till they had either vo!un-f~,cr. tarily, or by.Force of Arms; abandon'd tlheir-Poffefflon. That whitit they two decided tle Quarrel, he would look on as Neuter. The Portztgouej F]raver: oOF Commander in Chief, underflanding what Mefiages pafs'd, interrup.ted - 'Por -f them, fending to let the Dutch Men know. That it was in vain to guefeCom talk of furrendring the Fort, whilfl he was alive, and prefent. That he -n.z 'dcr was to treat with him, and tlhe marry d Men that liv d in it about that Affair. Being come to this Refolution, the next Morning the Dutch Ships re- Du t moved, and went to board the Portutguefes that were at Tydore, two Cain- ta t non Shot from the Fort.- They fought above two Hours, and fo conftlat Galleons was Fortune to one Side, that in fo fhort a Tinje, the Portn guefes that Galon. rernain'd alive were fain to throw themfelves into tlhe Sea, and their: G(alleons were taken, one of which they immediately burnt. The next Day Rold AInanother Meffage was fent to Tydore, wherein the Dutch diretced the King fwer of te to propofe the furrendring of the Fort to the. Portuguefes, and he would Portuguegive them the Galleon he had. fpar'd, to carry them and their Efieats, fes. wherefoever they fhould think fit. The Portu uefes taking Courage, where others would be difmay'd, anfwer'd, That the Lofs of the Galleons Dutch and had not daunted them; for they would rather dye all'of them, than deliver Ternates up the Fort. The DutchR durft not batter it alone, but refolv'd to joyn the Joyn and King of T'enate, who was already fet out with abundance of Carcoas to burtl a that Efed.

They landed 8oo Dutch and Tern.te Soldiers, and having made a Trench with Barrels fill'd with Earth, batter'd the Fort for three Days fro(n that Work, with two Pieces of Cannon. At the fame Time they play'd upon it from their Ships, firing above 1 500 Shot.

The Porhtguefe:, who juft before were joyful for their Vidory, having no Walls to fhelter them, were forc'd to retire to the City of Tydore, and the Dutch and Ternates rallying, purfu'd them thither. The -Tydore King receiv'd them in friendly Manner, and he himfelf went the fare Day tydaken aboard the Dutch Ship that lay at Anchor before it, and calling the Dutch thaen Yh Admiral, propos'd to him the Affair of the Fort, and that if thofe who defended it had Ships allow'd them, they would go away to other Parts. He agreed to it, and though it coft the Portuguefes all they had, they accepted of three fmallTenders, a Galliot that had been the King's, and a Dutch Tender to fecure them againft the Ternates. The Dutch fettled Amity with the King of Tydore; thatthey fhould continue in his Doini*ons; and ere& Fadcories, and Trade for Clove, as the Po;ttgucfes had done. Thus the Conquer'd having bought foae Ships dirpers'd themfelves about thole Iflands. Many of them went to the Phiizpines, where Don Pedro, the Governour, examlin'd them, in order to 'get Information concerning the Moluccos. xntony de Silva, a Port ^guefe, was one of them that efcap'd from the iutch'~de- Fort of Ternate, and came to the Town of /rcvalo in the Philipinet: iir to take Befides being a Soldier, he was alfo a Naguatato, or Interpreter. This *te.bi3s Man gave an Authentick Relation of that Affair, and added, That being fthe Phi- brought Prifoner from Ainboyna, the Dutch Admiral having a Sea-Chart inppinef. lbefore him, look'd for Mindoro, Mauila, and for Cal ite; and being afk'd ppine. by Silva, why he look'd for it, was inform'd, That his Defign was, in Cafe lie did not fucceed at the Moluccos, to try to take folne of the Shlips that trade betwixt New,pain, and the Philipp:nes.,Silva reply'd, That he had not Time to meet either; becatfe thofe that come to the PhilipSi!va~t c pincs arrive abouitthe ioth of 2iy, and the others f-t out on tlhe xoth of rnelof i:. ]yune. However that was the Defign of the Dutch Admiral, who intended to ger Intelligence at Mindoro, thence to fail to lacao, fend art EmbalTador into CGhia,a and reveige the Wrong Do Pal.os de Por't:gal had done them .9000mml — U the SPICE-ISLANDS. 235 them in thote Coulltries.

All this the Dutch Admiral communicated to Antony de Silva, as to one that was to go with him into Holland, becaufe he was a Soldier, and able Inteipreter in both Languages; and therefore Stephen Drage made much of him. This Intelligence was con- firm'd by fome others, who had fought and efcap'd the-Slaughter at Tydore. AlI tbe Dot Pedro hearing fo much, was concern'd, as aMan zealous for theChurch, lu and for his King; and it griev'd him to confider, that the Crown of SpainJ o had not a Foot of Land left it in the eMoluccos; and that a Rebel was in Spain. quiet Poffefflon of them all. Profperity having embolden'd, and frengthen'd the Dutch, Don Pedro affembling his Council of War, order'd that the Captains A.ntoy Freyle, Don PeCcmmaider of the Squadron Lelonginll to the Pirtados, Peter Se-il, Sc- dro's Pephez de dlcazar, and Bernardinte Alfon/o, fnould repair to the Forts of the cauions.

He refitted the Ships, and preyar'd his Cannon, as being fo near a vidorious Enemy, who fo fuccersfully put in Execution all their Thieats, Antony de Sylva fhow'd an Original Letter, written by another Dutch Ad- Dutch miral atthe Ifland of Bornieo, to the King of Temrnate, and fent by Philip Lttrs Biffegop, Captain of a Ship, with a Prefent of a Quantity of fine Ho!/a;d 3 aid 1 cSix Bales of feveral Veffels with MuSc k Twelve Bottles of Roft-Water; fe^,t to tr/ Six Pounds of Dutch AJfion, that is, Opium, which, as has be' e faid, f'c7g of difturbs the Senfes, and is us'd by thofe People to encourage them to fight; ernate. and fix Barrels of Powder. He gave him an Account of Andrew c iPrta.,o's unfortunate Voyage, the Obflacles, Storms, and Enemies lie had met witlh fince his Departure from Tertzate, till he camne to Mala a. He gave lhiLl the Title of Moflt Serene Prince, and Potent King of the Moluccos, Bandas, mbnoynza, and innumerable other flands.

To this End, lie defired him to renew his Friendfhip with Min-. da4nao, and to acquaint the King of thofe Iflands, tlhat he was a Friend to the Dutch, fo to give them Admittance to thofe Ports, Freedom of Trade, and amicable Entertainment, as was requifite for their Undertakings this being a Thing mofl Expedient, above aNl other Politick Confideratiois. He added, he might obferve, and be afflr'd, that nothing was ro little regarded in Spain, as to contrive that their many Provinces fTould preferv8 fome Sort of Union. That there tre all rhofe which are very remote, and fubje&l to that Crown, ought to take much Notice of the great Delays there, in coming to a Refolution, and fenlding Succours from Spain; lecaufe before they believe, cr exanmine the News brought them in order to believe them, Affairs hlve taken a new Turn, and conlequently neither the Spanif/ Councils, nor tlteir Arms comte f.afo.nably.

Captainl IVilla~gra either Sufpeded, or had Information of it, and -therefore doubled the Giuards, and iput eight oF the moft daring into Chains. Among the moll remarkatile were Cacbil J1niuxa, the S'angiack Rcte, and he of A7fqui. They all arriv'd at -Manila, but their Fetters were taken off beforsthey cambe thither, after they had worn Ohem ten Days,. with mUch Re". -gret of the King, whom they fatisfy'd with Hopes, n cqanin i with fomet of thev- Grounds there were toff~ Illt e D n e fl yn -them afide ceas'd. The Hazaxrd at Mindanao was, that thofel flandar not Tributary, 'yet they value themfelves upon entertaining Frie~d (hip with-the King of Te rnate;i and it is moft certain, that had he attempted to Ily, and fucceeded in it, they would have fupported him there; and Vill1a.. gra had Intelligence givqii him, that the King 'either made, or approv'Vd o' the Propofal; tho' there was no want of Care and Vigilancy either in Don Pedro's Ship, or the Admiral Galley. Dluring all this Time we have fpoken of, the News of our Succefs was not brought to the Philippine lIlands. T"his long Slne ad W nto Intelligence, became an Argument in thofe Parts, andpaicarytAi. vila, that Doni Pedi o and the~ F leet were'loft, or at leafi had'-met with fuch ro il Succefs as defer-v'd to b,-genterally lamented. Virtue never fail'dof en. navious Perfons to perfecute it, -and accordingly Don Pedro was not without tO themn at Mlan ila; but tho') they were well known, inl fo mu~ch that in'the d.general Opuionia of all Men, they are fupo' t ae given h ofn whereot tha-t great M'an was thought to have OdY'd zz Days after his Re.. turn, we will neverthelefs l'uppretfs their Names, % ince it is not the Part ofan Authori. w1ofe Duty it -is to obrerve an exad Newtraity, and. not to b-e led any \Vay by A ffedon, to co~nnr that Pepofition, which, as yet, is no better grounded than on Sufpicion. They ar e all Dead lonig fince', -and have been try'd before that great Tribunal, where the lealt though~t cannot pafs without beingr aCcounted tor. Thefe Me~n gave out, That Don Pedro attacking Ternare, enter'd itftuccefrsfully; but thatbhis Menbhad been too intent upon Plunder, the Enemny rallyed, and falling up-on' th e Sp niards, beat them out again, killing inoft of themi.. And that the Genera! being afham''d ofJhis ill Condu~1, durlt not return to Mfanila, This Repot t being t1read abroad amiong the Indian:, did fo m'ar C~that they begran to Mlutiny, e" ecially in the Proviinces of C'arna)iuue, and '-Pieado:; inl lb much that the Fryers who:attended their Jultruc'lion, could not dp,,1 wiOth them! anyv longer, for they faid, That fince the People Of tbe -SPICE-I-SLAN[ ) S...M of the Mloluccos we-re, via'.orious, why fhould they 1e lill fiibjcd to the Spnird.,who did ntdefend them agcainlf the M4oors mnd teexo no0w plunder themr daily w%,ith thle Afliftance, of Ternate, )and -it would be worfe- 'or the-Fuiure. Nor were they fatisfy'd with mnuttcing but proceeded to confer No'tes togethe'r, -and to cntrive putt their Projedts in Execution. Eut all this vanifibld at the Sight of Truth, and dlie News of ir, brought in before the'Arrival of the Conquerors, and the Preparations they faw.made for their Reception, and triumphant Re'joycingrs. The Weather was feafonable, and favour'd them in all Refpeds, and bthey ar. uiv'd at Alanila on the. ninth. of Junc, loaded with Honour and Vidory., after' they ha d refled in the Port. of C'abite, toLeagues diflant. The Captives diveted themnfelves wi'th our Men, 11to put off the Remem~brance of pall Times, w-hilfi rich Garn=neits of teveral Sorts of Silks were proided for them at the publick Chargre, which is the King's Treafuryi the Philippine Ifands. They look'd dejededly, andA with Admiration, on the Harbour, Wall, Forts, anld Buildingys of thel Cityv, the Sight whereof made them call to Mind the laft Day on whichi they fell from-T their boafled State of Liberty. Our Commanders dropt fom'e courteous Words of C m' -fort in their Difcourfe, tell'ing themu, taasfnasthNews could come tocSPain ot-their being reducld, and' tha't good -Order 'was taken againhl falling again into the former Dangers, the' Kingr would order them to be reflor'd to their Liberty. All thefe Expreffions wereiiotof Force to fatis-% fy thofe Indians, who on the contrary began to complain of the Genera!, bec'aufe they either fufreded., or Were 'tol byfmif u e, that. lie would no't obferve the laf x nda and promife hie had made themn in the Xinags Name,.. and oxxwhichi they had rcly'd; and that in Cafe &dntan Zayde were continu'd in the NMIlI~pne Ifiands, it wvas certain they wyould fend his Son, Prince Gariolano into Eitropc, by the Way of New' S'pain. The general beIng acqluainted with'thefe nielancholly Refledions of theirs, thought it conczrn'd the Reputation of 'the Chriflian Religion in general, and of' the San/INation in parti~cu~lar,to difpell thofe Jealouifies, and therefire he writ to them, and direded the Captain, whe carry'd the Letters, to perfwade the King not to conceive the leafi Miflrrufi of the Kinig's Word, and Security hie had confided in. This compos'd their Thoughts, and they either drid, or pretended teo ta'ke- Comfiort. - The Prifoners came, With the Forces to the City, Which the Fleet faluted With its Cannon, and were anifwer'd by the Artillery and fmnall Shot from LI the 'Walls and 1'ort's.
