things I haue solde very well, both here and at Ormus in prison,
notwithstanding the captaine willed me (if I would) to sell what I could
before we imbarked: and so with officers I went diuers times out of the
castle in the morning, and solde things, and at night returned againe to
the prison, and all things that I solde they did write, and at our
imbarking from thence, the captain gaue order that I should deliuer all my
mony with the goods into the hands of the scriuano, or purser of the ship,
which I did, and the scriuano made a remembrance, which he left there with
the captaine, that my selfe and the rest with money and goods he should

foure or fiue daies. But afterward when they should deliuer the money, it
was concluded by the justice, that both the money and goods should be
deliuered into the positors hands, where they remained fourteene dayes

the captaine of Ormus did take, and payed for the same twentie pardaos,
which is one hundred larines, and was worth there or here one hundred
chekins. Also he had fiue emrauds set in golde, which were woorth fiue
hundred or sixe hundred crownes, and payed for the same an hundred pardaos.
Also he had nineteene and a halfe pikes of cloth, which cost in London
twenty shillings the pike, and was worth 9 or 10 crownes the pike, and he
payed for the same twelue larines a pike. Also he had two pieces of greene
