But guessing that I had been already warned, and was coming at them resolved to fight to the death, they were in fear and allowed me to pass without hindrance. I was subsequently informed that he who laid this plot for me was the fidalgo to whom I had praised the Mellos. Thus, fearing that he would lose no occasion of executing his evil intent, I left for Goa, and there I arrived in the month of May, one thousand six hundred and sixty-six (1666). Of the place itself I shall have much to say presently, but the reader must permit me first to state briefly \[no\] something about my own stay there.

Not that I can complain myself of ill-treatment, for the viceroy desired to honour me with the command of a war-galley. But since I had many necessary expenses, and I was not rich enough to take upon myself the payment of the soldiers and sailors from my own pocket, I declined.
