Strana xxii - Glasse chestes, for they were very meane and ordinary, for whom came they ? I replyed, I entended one for his Majestie the other to Normahall. Why then, said hee, you will not aske that I have, being contented with one ? I was forced to yield. Next he demanded whose the Hats were, for that his women liked them. I answered three were sent to his Majesty, the fourth was mine to weare. Then said he you will not take them from me, for I like them, and yours I will returne if you need it, and will not...
Strana 242 - ... the King's use, according to a remembrance he hath given me. Part of them being what Suratt and India can furnish, I have to them written for. These hereunder specified in your Southern parts are only to be found; pleasing you to order their sending accordingly : Cheney [China] dishes in sorts, 200 pieces to serve meat at table.

Strana xxii - Satyres represented, and was of the same complexion and not unlike, who being held by Venus a white woman by the nose, it seemed that shee led him captive.
Strana xxx - They esteem a painted sheet of paper with a horse, ship or a bird more than they do such a rich picture. Neither will any give six pence for that fair picture of the conversion of St.
Strana xxii - Normahall and hee were all one, and for any to bring with me to procure his favour, it was a ceremony and unnecessary, for he would at all time heare me ; that I should be welcome emptie handed, for that was not my fault, and I should receive right from him ; and to go to his sonne, he would returne me somewhat for him ; and for the merchants goods, pay to their content ; concluding I should not be angry for this freedome ; he entended...
Strana 242 - ... at Ispahan to Bantam. The requirements appertain no doubt to the Persian Court, but the social customs and domestic conditions in the two countries were so similar that we may presume the requisitions to apply quite as much to India as to the country to which it owed its civilization and culture : ' I have been entreated by the King's treasurer and favourite to procure him divers necessaries and toys for the King's use, according to a remembrance he hath given me. Part of them being what Suratt...
Strana xxxiii - much glorying in their victorie and showing the Bandaneses their exploit, in the great disgrace of the English what they could, saying that the King of England might not compare with their great King of Holland, and that one Holland ship would take ten of the English ships, and that St. George is now turned child'.
Strana xxii - ... he never used to any man, nor such familiarity, nor freedome, nor profession of love. This was all my recompence, that he often desired my content to be merry, that the wrong he had...
