I answered: his Maiestie knew long since I offered to be gouerned by him, and referred it to His wisdome, and had expected his pleasure. He replied: hee would vndertake absolutely to accord vs, and to make agreement in his Seas, which he would by answere to my Masters Letters signifie, and therein giue him content in all other his friendly desires. Notwithstanding, I demanded leaue to goe before to Amadauas to meet the Kings Presents and to prepare for my returne. Vpon which motion, the question grew betweene the King and the Prince, who complayned that he had no profit by vs, and that he was content to be rid of vs. Asaph Chan tooke the turne, and very roundly told the King that we brought both profit to the Port, to the Kingdome, and securitie : that we were vsed very rudely by the Princes seruants, and that it was not possible for vs to reside without amends : it were more honourable for his Maiestie to license vs \[to depart ?\] then to intreate vs so discourteously, for it would be the end. The Prince replyed very cholerickly that he had neuer done vs wrong, and had lately giuen mee a Firman at his entreatie. - [Previous: 38.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.38.8) - [Next: 38.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.38.10) - [Up: 38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.38) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.38.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.38.9) · Pramāṇa
