During the time we remained the English never ceased to offer a thousand civilities to milord, the ambassador. But his true friends told him not to trust them, for all they did was in order to get hold of him and carry him off to England. They did their very best once to persuade the ambassador to go on board of an English vessel, then about to depart for England, under the pretext of offering him a banquet with all the state befitting his dignity. But the truth was that they wanted to confine him in the ship, and he most politely made excuses. Then we began to get together our baggage, for which purpose the ambassador was in want of funds. Mestre Jonh (Henry Young) secretly offered to supply all that was required, whether in money or in different sorts of goods, among the latter some fine broadcloth, a handsome clock, an Arab horse for a present to the king, with swords, pistols, matchlocks, and numerous European playthings. We started from Surat, bearing a passport given us by the governor, and in fifteen days we reached the town of Brampur (Burhanpur), where was the court of the prince Aurangzeb, with whom we had much to discuss. We did not meet with him, by reason of his being at that time in Orangabad (Aurangabad). - [Previous: 44.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.44.3) - [Next: 45.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.45.1) - [Up: 44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.44) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.44.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.44.4) · Pramāṇa
