Eneral Vanderbroug was of AnverJe, and having ftu-
' died in the Jefuics College, retained fome tindure
I. of Learning, which he endeavoured to improve
as much as his bufinefs would give him leave. Wh-ile he
was General he caus'd the Alcoran to be tranflated out of
Arabic into Dutch. He was alf© a man of courage, andfe-
veral times expos'd himfelf to great hazards for the Service
of the Company, as you fliall fee by the following Re
lation.
Jr
After the Hollanders had taken feveral Prizes from the
(portugue^es by Sea, they wanted a place of Retreat, where
they might repair their endamaged Ships, and repofe after'
the toils of the Sea. At firft they caft their eyes upon the
Ifland of Java, in that place where the Englifh had built a
fmall Convenience for their Trade. There is a Road in
that part, where Veflfels ride fecurely all the year, into which
a River dilcharges it lelf that will receive Shallops of good
burthen, for above a thoufand Paces. The Water of this
River is moft excellent • for being carried never fb far to
Sea, it never ftinks, nor engenders Worms • which can only
be faid of the Thames and befides.
The Hollanders therefore came and lay upon the point of
a River, over againft the place where the Englif? had their
fmall Houfe. They had with them then the greateft part
ofthe Ships which they had in the Indies, laden with thofe
great Bales of Cloth which come from Demale and the Coaft
C? cn t
of Surat, fo big that a dozen men can hardly manage them.
Thde Bales they landed, and of them made a kind of Forti
fication, planting a good number of great Guns between
them : For they never wanted great Guns ever fince they
traded alone to Japon, the onely Kingdom of the World
abounding in Copper • from whence they brought prodigi
ous quantities to Macao and Goa, where they call their Artil
lery. Thus
