19.2.2

July 15. — I sent to Zulpheckcarcon for mony. He desiered that I would forbeare 6 dayes ; for that his mony and the Princes was ready, but for som goodes deliuered to others there was difference : that hee had sent to Suratt for testemony against such as denyed and wee should be cleared with all togither. I gaue order to Master Fettiplace to returne that I was Content to forbeare tenn dayes for mony : but that I desiered he would firme the agreement in generall with his hand and seale, that I might be secure from any new cauelles ; which hee promised to doe the next day. July 16. — I Could not gett the brokar to goe, by whose Negligence all our busines was deferrd and delayd. I had not power to dismisse him, though hee did more hinder vs then all other letts togither ; neyther had the Merchanntes any will, for I mooued it often. So that I can doe no more. He offereth his bill for the mony, and that is a warrant for the Princes part, if they will fetch it ; if not, I am blamelesse. July 18. — I went to the Durbar to visitt the king, but could not yet gett a dispatch of my demandes.
