The Embassy of Sir Thomas Roe to the Court of the Great Mogul 15.3.3

15.3.3

For my demand of Justice against the parsonall wrongs offered to our Nation, I was answered that Zulpheckcarcon did recriminat and Complaine as much against theyr extreame drunckennes, ryott, quarreling and drawing their swoordes in the Alfandica against the kings officers, and that therfore I was to sett one against other and seeke to mend both in tyme to Come: or, if I would not, that then the Prince would expect that Iustice were likwise done vpon such as had offended. I knew to my shame this accusation true and so demurrd of my resolution to prosecute against his person, beeing a fauoritt of the Princes, vntill I had satisfaction in my other demandes; It being free for mee to renew it at my best advantage. Now I had many sutes a foote and durst not venture to haue all my desiers at once or none.
