What I have seene I doe signifie in this Journall to your Lordship : and that which I have learned by the report of other Nations (when it shall please God to make mee happie by your Lordships favourable presence) I will make farther knowne to your Lordship, aswell of the King of Portugall his places of Trade and strength, as of the enterchangeable trading of those Easterne Nations among themselves: beginning at Cefala, which is his first footing beyond the Cape of Buena Esperanza, and so proceeding to Mozambique, Ormus, Diu, Goa, Conlam, Onor, Mangalor, Cochin, Columbo, Negapatan, Porto Grande in Bengala, and Malacca: As also to the Citie of Macao, in the Province of Canton, in the famous Kingdome of China, and to the Ilands of Moluccos, and Amboyno.
