cording to our licence^ landed all our goods at the abovelaid
place 5 and we were no fooner got aftiore, but My Lord, theln-
quifitor came in a Boat to vilit me at the Sea-fide. We difcours'd
together above half an hour f, he in his Boat 3 and I upon the

all our Goods were fprcad abroad to be air'd in a large open room

In which, the several countries, together with the customs, manners, traffique, and rites both religious and civil, of those Oriental princes and nations, are faithfully described: In familiar letters to his friend Signior Mario Schipano. Whereunto is added a relation of Sir Thomas Roe’s voyage into the East-Indies . Translated from the Italian by George Havers.
