June 14. — Certaine goods of the Iesuites were sent from Cambaya in a Cabinet, Phisicke and necessaries and a Letter, which were betrayed by the bringer, and deliuered the King; which he opened and sent for the Padre to reade the Letter, and to see all in the Boxes, of which nothing liking him, he returned all; which I obserue as a warning to all that deale in this Kingdome, to bee wary of what they write or send; for such is the custome and humour of the King, that he will seize and see all, lest any Toy should escape his appetite.
