June 12. — Mochrebchan sent to mee to know if I would goe see the king ; but for that hee was yet in the Princes howse I would not affront him, attending vntill I had answere from Asaph chan, whom I must not loose if I would stand here. Besides, I determined, before I went to him, to know whether any fitt reconciliation could bee effected betweene the Prince and mee, and that I might have satisfaction from Zulpheckcarcon without Complaynt, first using all faire means that were honest and became my Masters Ambassador to make smooth my way, which when I could not effect, I resolued to fly to a very round Complaynt, both of our publique wrongs and robberies committed vpon vs by the Gouernor, the Princes maynteyning him in yt, and Asaph Chans Negligence and falshood for the Princes sake, and lastly I would discouer the trick putt on mee to keepe mee from Court, to this end only, that I should not seeke Justice, which I would desier very roundly of the king, or lycence to depart with all my Nation. This Night I received lettres from Suratt of the receipt of the firmaens sent downe, which for a few dayes vseth to preuaile, and gott our goodes from the Customer and procured an agreement on all particulars; some difference in price, which was referred to Abram chan the Gouernor, then absent, our very good Frend.
