TO THE COVR-
teous Reader.
WHereas, Don Bernaldino Delgadillo de Avellaneda, Generall of the Spanish fleete, hath by his Printed letters published to the worlde diuers vntruthes, concerning our fleete and the Commaunders thereof, seeking therby his owne glorie, and our disgrace; I haue taken vpon me (though of many least able) to confute the same, the rather for that the printed Coppie came first into my hands, hauing my selfe beene Captaine of one of her Maiesties shippes in the same voyage: Take this therfore (gentle Reader) as a token of my dutie and loue to my Countrie and Countrie-men, And expect onely a plaine truth, as from the pen of a Souldier, and Nauigator: Which if you take in good parte, may draw me shortly to a greater labour, by publishing vnto you our whole voyage.
