The Hollandes generall sent me a runlet of Canare wyne, exskewsing hym selfe to com to dyner on Sonday, for that he fownd hym selfe ill at ease and tooke phisick. But I doe rather esteem he taks state upon hym. Yet, be it ether one occation or other, I sent hym word he should be wellcom yf he pleased to com, and that I made no dowbt, although he were ill at ease now, yt might please God he might be well againe before Sonday, etc.
Mr. Eaton and Mr. Totton retorned from Langasaque to Firando this night. And the China Capt. Whawe lent them his foy fone. But som of the rowers stole a small silver cup of the Companies out of Mr. Tottons chist in carrying it abord.
