What my endeauor is and how faythfull, what my trauell in the Camp of Confusion, I hope your Maiestie will graciouslie conceiue. This I will presume to auow that I will not liue and suffer your Maiesties Royall name to bee diminished for any Consideration; And, for the success of my employment, that I will establish your Maiesties Subiects in as good tearmes for theire trafique and residences as any strangers or the naturalls themselues enioy, or at last by our force teach them to know your Maiestie is Lord of all the Seeaes and can Compell that by your power, which you haue sought with Curtesie, which this King cannot yett see for Swelling. The Portugall is not yet wise enough to know his owne weakenes, who rather enuiously hinder vs then like noble enemies hurte vs. Lett your Maiestie bee pleased to giue mee leaue to enforme want of a peace with them (which by your royall authoritie were easyly commanded) makes all these trades of Indya and hopes of Persia heauy and dangerous to the vndertakers. - [Previous: 47.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.47.3) - [Next: 47.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.47.5) - [Up: 47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.47) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.47.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.roe-embassy~en-foster.47.4) · Pramāṇa
