The maky man arived here yisternight, and brought me 3 letters, 1 from Tozayemon Dono, and the other from Magazemon Dono.

I forgot to note downe how I went to vizet the tono yisternight, and carid hym a jar conservs, and Capt. Adames carid hym a barso wyne and 2 fyshes. I tould hym our junk was ready to departe towardes Syam, offring hym to doe hym any service in that place we could, which he took in good parte, promesing all frenshipp he could towardes our nation, and with all thanking me for the frenshipp I showed hym at his being at Miaco, and telling me I should have barkes ready to toe out our junk at my pleasure, etc.
Our junk being ready to goe out, Taccamon Dono sent me word that, except I would alow of 10 passingers to goe in her, we should have no boates to toe her out, nether would he suffer our offecers to goe in the junk. So the tyde not tarryng for the kyng (as the proverb is), I hired 2 boates by meanes of Capt. Adames, and two I set out my selfe, and the Hollanders sent their foy fone, and the China Capt. an other bark, and the Adviz sent her boate; with which we got out our junk, contrary to their expectation, and carid her into Cochy roade. Yet this Taccamon Dono cauced the Japans hostes to our offecers to stay them. Wherupon I was forced to goe to the king to complaine, but could not com to speech of hym. So the junk was forced to stay all this day, and loose a fayre wynde. And within night this Taccamon Dono sent 3 or 4 men (as coming from the kyng) to have passadg for 3 men, and got the China Capt. to com to speake for them; but I denid them all.
Oyen Dono sent me word the king had reproved Taccamon Dono and bad hym not meddell in our busynes.
Mr. Eaton had one hundred taies alowed hym on his wagis, and I paid hym my selfe.
December 31.—This day Taccamon Dono sent againe to the hostes howses of our junk offecers, charging them not to let the offecers departe till I agreed to let the passingers passe in our junk. So I was forced againe to get Capt. Adames to goe to the kyng, with our jurebasso in his company, to complaine of the wrong Taccamon Dono doth us, our junk being now ready to goe out. So the kyng gave order forthwith to the hostes to let them goe. And sowne after Taccamon Dono sent to me to exskeuse hym selfe, saying he was ill enformed of my matter by the passingers, and therefore craved pardon. This Taccamon Dono is a prowd, humerose, dreamyng fello.
