Ten days after the great Afonso Dalboquerque had arrived at Cochim, Jorge Barreto, captain of the fortress, because the Viceroy had written to desire there should be no disagreements between them, went to his house to visit him. Now he had married a daughter of Fernão Dalboquerque, brother of Afonso Dalboquerque, and had been well treated by him, and gained both goods and other favours; but, not bearing this in mind, he had thrown his weight into the party of the Viceroy, always informing him of whatever he chose about Afonso, and always depreciating his merits. On this account, despiting his affairs, Afonso did not receive him graciously, and, when he was taking leave, sent word to him by a clerk that he begged him very much of his goodness not to trouble to have much conversation with him, nor to visit him, for he was his deadly enemy, and spoke ill of him, but when they should happen to meet in the streets of the place, he would make a show of courtesy towards him.

Jorge Barreto was ill pleased with the message, and went to Gaspar Pereira and related it to him, and told him that after this as he was going in to the church where Dalboquerque was attending mass he desired to speak with him, but he turned his eyes on the ground and made as though he had not perceived him.
