Yet I am in no such need, but meane to put away the knave for his knavery.
And I receaved a letter from Capt. Garrocho, dated in Langasaque, le 22th of this month, new stile, wher inclosed came an other for the China Capt. Alsoe he wrote me to buy a case of bottells, a lookinglas, and 2 Holland cheeses for hym, etc.
