22.3.9
Hee replyed the Port was his sonns, but sent for him and Publiquely gaue expresse order for what soeuer I would requier and take on mee, that it should Not be searched nor pay Custome, but bee dispeeded with expedition safe to my handes, that I might distribute yt at my discretion : that hee should Command the good reception of our People, and finally that hee should giue mee Content in all my desiers. This generally extended not to the grant of a fort, for that clause Asaph chan refused to deliuer. This Chardge was very round and hearty in the king, and a grace to mee. The Prince called Asaph chan and mee, and there professed and promised before his father and all the Court to giue mee all reasonable Content. This is the strength of New Presentes.
