Iudg all men what trauell I endured by reason the factors kept my Presentes 4 monthes and sent them eauen in the Mouth of the Prince, arriued within two dayes of Brampoore; and hereby euery way our Chardg doubled. Yet I rested not satisfied, but seeing I had begunn and that the Prince was, as I feared, enough exasperated with a little, I thought as good loose him to some Purpose as to none; at least to trie the king what hee would doe. Soe I wayted advantage, but sent back the Messenger to Master Terry to stand out and attend the kinges answere, which I would speedely send him. This Iournall from this nth february, 1616[-17] is posted into another booke, for want of roome.
