But hee then as absolutely refusd it; yet some tymes hee was Content, sometyme not, soe that noe Conclusion could bee made. But he desiered a new reckoning and to pay his owne and assigne vnder his hand who should pay the remayner. This was a tedious course to seeke out money from diuers men, and they as absolutely refusd yt: all was taken by his authoritye and wee would seeke no further. This was the error of the first account sent vp, for had not the 750 royalls beene Charged and Master Sadlers 1,000 Mamoodies (both mistaken), I had accepted his first offer of 17,000 Mamoodies with little losse, and finished all long since with good will and had avoyeded much trouble and the Princes displeasur; but seeing one stood doubtfull, the other directly charged, I could not yeild to loose 6 or 7,000 Mamoodies, for I could not haue one Pice without a generall quittance as well agaynst the Prince as the Gouernor and all vnder him. But yet hee seemed very desierous of frendship, taking much vnkindnes at mee for bitternes against him. - [Previous: 18.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.18.1.7) - [Next: 18.1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.18.1.9) - [Up: 18.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.18.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.18.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.18.1.8) · Pramāṇa
