I sould this day a littell peece of currall of the 2 I had out in the box, containing 3 mas 7 condrin wight, for the som of five tais, yet not receved. Our host of Fushamy[218] came to vizet me with a present of orengis, being glad, as he said, of my safe retorne. We have much goodes at his howse, which they of Miaco would not suffer to enter into the towne, standing upon their puntos per meanes of the Emperours inhebitions.
October 31.—I sent Goresano, our jurebasso, to thank the boz for our kynd entertaynment yisterday, and to tell hym I thought it best to goe and vizet the Justis of Miaco with a present of wyne and fish, and to tell hym what order the Emperour had geven me to sett my busynes in order and to leave the rest with whome I thought good. The boz came unto me and councelled me not to cary anything to the Justice howse, for that neather he nor his deputie were not at home, but, yf either of them came while I remeaned heare, he would adviz me thereof.
