January 24.—I paid fyftie taies plate bars to Andrea Dittis, China Capt., for reprations to his junk lent to carin our ship Hozeander, she haveing broken and spoild the junck that the carpenters asked 100 taies to have mended her. Newes was brought to towne that the Emperour is dead; but I beleeve rather it is a fable and geven out of purpose to see how people wold take the matter. Once the ould man is subtill.
January 25.—Damian Marin fell out with Jno. de Lievana about comparisons betwixt the English and Duch, Damian takeing parte with the Duch and Jno. with the English.

Soe we showed them samples of all and set price; but he took lyking only of pepper at 6 taies pico, baftas at 10 R. per pies, buxshaws at 9 mas pec., boralles at 9 mas pec., chint at 3½ mas pec., and cader Macoy at 4 mas pec. And tould the China Capt. he would com and vizet me before he went to Miaco, to morrow or the next day.
January 27.—Capt. Speck came and requested that we would take into our shipp for Bantam as much ebony as we could in not pestering our shipp, and he would pay what fraight we thought fitt. And he sent me a baril morofack and 4 boxes swet meate.
Also the king sent me word he would com to breckfast to morrow mornyng. So I mad the best provition I could, and the China Capt. sent me 2 powderd storkes, and Soyemon Dono a baskit oranges.
And Tome Donos sonne retorned from Miaco and sent me a present of Japan figges. He tells me our bark with the goods is safe arived at Sackay, but brought no letter from Mr. Eaton nor Mr. Wickham.
