order from the Council at Batavia to difpl»ice him. St. <Amam incens’d at fuch
ill-ufage, inveigles to his Party a matter of fifteen or twenty, moft part
Souldiers, among whom were Mmfitur Bdloy, Marefts 0 and John de Roft, and re
volts to the Tortugntfes. The ?onngah encourag’d by the reinforcement offach,
a flout, though fmall number of men, florm’d again, and took it at the
fecond aflault. At that time was Don Philip de Mafcaregnas Governor of Csyl m
and all the places belonging to it, under the jurifdidion of the Porngd:/
liv’d alfo at the City of Colombo ^ and then it was, that having receiv’d Letters
from Goa that the Vice-Roy was dead, and that the Council and all the Nobility
defir’d him to come and fucceed in his place, he refolv’d to fee St. Amum and his
Companions before his departure, to the end he might bellow upon themfome
proper reward. So foon as he faw them, he was refolv’d to take then? along with
him to Goa. Whether it were that he thought he might have better opportu
nities to advance them there ^ or that he thought it convenient to have flout men
about him, by reafpn of the Malavar.es who lay in wait for him with forty VT-
fels, whereas he had but twenty-two. But they were no iboner con)e to make
Cape-Comorinyvhzn the winds rofe, and fuch a Tempefl follow’d, that the Veflels
were difpers'd, and many of them unfortunately caft away. They that were in
Don Philips VelTel did all they could to get to the fhoar, but feeing they could
not, and that the Ship was ready to fplit,St. ^/w^wrand his Six other Compani
ons threw themfelves into theSea with cords and pieces of planks,and fo beftirr’d
themfelves, that they made a fhift not only to fave themfelves, but Don Philip
alfo. Hereupon Don Philip coming to Goa 0 after he had made his entrance, gave
to St. the Command of Grand Mafter of the Artillery, and Superintendent
General over all the Forts whifh the PortHguez.es had m India. He marri’d him
alfo to a young Virgin, with whom he had twenty-thoufand Crowns, whofe Fa
ther was an Englijh-man^ who, had quitted the Company, and marri’d a Natural
Daughter of one of the Vice-Roy's oiGoa. As for John de Rofe, he defir’d leave
of the Vice-Roy to return to Colombo ^ where, by his favour, he marri’d a young
Widow, half Native, half Portnguezje, by whom he had a fair fortune. Mmjts
the Vice-Roy made Captain of his Guards, the moil confiderable Command in ail
his Court,being oblig’d to Marefts for his life,who was the perfon that bore him
upon his Ihoulders to fave him from drowning. Du Belloy defir’d leave that he
might go to Bdacao, which was granted him. For he underftood that the greatefl:
part of the Portugal-Qcntry, retir’d to that place, after they had got Eftates by
Merchandizing , that they were very courteous to Grangers, and withal extremely
addidied to play, which was Du BtHoy's chief delight. He liv’d two years at
Macao, very much to his content; for when he wanted Money, the Gentry lent
it him freely. One day he had won above fix-thoufand Crowns, but going to
play again, he was fo unfortunate as to lofe it all, befides a good fum of Money
which his friends had lent him. Being thus at a lofs, and finding that no-body
would lend him any more Money, he began to fwear againft a Pidture that hung
in the room, which was the Portraiture of fome Papiftical Saint; faying in his
p. flion that it was an ufual thing with them that plaid, that if they faw a Saint
Pidlure hang' in their fight, it made them lofe *, and that ifthatPidhire had not
been there he had certainly won. Immediately the Inquifitor was inform’d oi
this, (for in every City in India under the Jurifdidtion of the Portuguezes there is
one. However his power is limited; having no other authority than to feize
theperfonof him that fays or adts any thing againft their Religion, to hear the
Witneffes, and to fend the Offender with the examinations to Goa in the firltlhip
which is bound thither.* where the inquifitor-Gdneral has an abfolutePower
either to abfolve him, or to put him to death J Thereupon Du Fe/Fjy wasputa-
board a fmall Vefiel of ten or twelve Guns loaded with Irons .* with aftridl charge
to the Captain to keep him fafe, and fome threats that he fhould be anfwerable
for him if he efcap’d. But fo foon as the Ship was out at Sea, the Captain, who
was ofa noble difpofition, and knew Du Belloy to be of a good Family, took on
his Irons, and made him fit at his own Table; giving him alfo Linnen, and other
convenient Apparel neceflary for the Voyage, which was to continue forty days.
They put into Gba the nineteenth of February 1649^and the Ship was no loonei
