Also he saw Jno. Yoosen, the Hollander, still with his present unreceaved, attending their pleasures.
Capt. Adames went to Cort to get our dispache, and the Councell gave hym order to com to them to morow morning, for that they would talke with hym. The Emperour went this day a fowling, and with his owne handes kild 5 elkes (or wild swans), which coming out to send them abroad to his brothers and frendes (after his retorne to his pallace or castell), he saw Jno. Yoosen stand in a corner with his present, and asked what he was; and, being knowne, he went away asking whether he were a Hollander, and yt was answersd hym yea. “Whie,” said he, “it is reported this fellow is much indebted and will not pay his creditors.” Unto which a frend of his answered, it was to the Hollanders, his cuntremen, and to noe others; wherin his frend lied, for he oweth to divers others. Yet upon this report his present was receaved.
October 31.—I went and vizeted Chawno Shrogero Dono, and desird hym to be a meanes to get our dispach; and he tould me he would, and for our going to Langasaque with our shiping, we might doe it yf we would, as well as to Firando, for that it was all one to this Emperour, soe we might doe it.
Capt. Adames went to Cort, as the Councell did bid hym, but attended most parte of the day, and then retorned without geting out our dispache.
November 1.—This day we reconed with Yadeo Dono, partner with Neamon Dono; but much trowble we had with hym, for he would have put lodghier, incomiendo, and servantes wages to acco. for goodes sould, and yet have kept all the profit to them selves, over and above the bare
prise left with them, they having, upon my knowledg, sould it for much more. Also he would have put som thinges sould at a lower price then it was left at, with other unreasonable matters. Soe I referd all to Capt. Adames to make an end of it, without going to law, where I am ashewered we should have fownd small right, as I have known per experience.
November 2.—Jno. Yoosen came to vizet me, and brought me a present of sweet meates, enviting me hom to his howse, etc. Yt seemed by his speeches he was not well pleaced with the Hollanders liberallety towardes hym, considering the paynes he had taken for them, for which he hath the ill will of the Tono of Firando and divers others.
Capt. Adames went to Cort to get our dispache, but themperour was gon out a hawking and the Councell a feasting; soe nothing was donne.
November 3.—I receved three letters per expres, viz.:—1 from Ed. Sayer and Jno. Osterwick, dated in Firando, 2th October; 1 from Capt. Whaw, China Capt., at Langasaque; 1 from Jno. jurebasso at Firando—all to sett out 2 goshons for Chinas, yf I can, one for Tonkin, and other for Taccasanga.
Capt. Adames went to Cort to get our dispach, but retorned without doing anything. Only Oyen Dono asked hym whether I were gon or no. Unto whome he answerd, how I could goe without lycence of themperour. So he tould hym I did well, and that we should forthwith be dispached.
