I am sorry for all such Chardges, that wee can doe nothing without the vtmost of expence. They remayne with mee yet vnopened, by reason of the Kings absence; and I doubt not but to haue Peace with them and by them. With these are arriued Master Steeles Artificers, with whom I haue spoken and tould them my judgment. Hee is confident to doe somwhat woorthy his labor and answerable to his hopes; if I barely sayd noe, hee might lay his owne errors vpon mee. Therfore I haue consented hee shall haue a little Roome apart, keepe house with them, ouersee them, and sett them to woorke in Triall two Months. If hee can doe it, hee shall haue all the honor and due Prayse; if not, they shall returne and hee will vndergoe the shame. This will cost the Company some mony, against my will, but they that adventure must sometymes Pay for their crudulitie, and his owne reckonings shalbe apart. Secondly, hee tells mee hee hath brought vp some Merchaunts that sue for Passadge into the Red Sea and promise to drawe in many More; to which I harken most willingly, for ther shall neuer bee any good trade in Guzeratt for vs, nor any thing tye them by the Noses, but our Mingling with them in the Red Sea or eating them out of that trade and seruing them by necessitie of what they want. I knowe that their trade in the Red Sea without vs is more profitable for them, and in hope of that wee liue as wee doe. - [Previous: 39.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.39.2) - [Next: 39.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.39.4) - [Up: 39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.39) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.39.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.39.3) · Pramāṇa
