A _T_hing verie strange that the General or the _Indian_, who hee doth vouch for his lye, should haue such speculation in the bodye of him whome they neuer saw, as to deliuer for truth vnto his Countrie, the verie cause or disease whereof hee dyed: And this second report of his is more grosse then the first. For admit the mistaking of the place might bee tollerable; notwithstanding, this precise affirming the cause of his death, doth manifestly prooue that the Generall doth make no conscience to lye. And as concerning the losse of any Barkes or men in our Nauie, by the valour of the Spaniard before S_ir Fraunces Drake_ his death, wee had none (one small Pinnesse excepted) which we assuredly know was taken by chaunce falling single into a fleete of fiue Frigots (of which was Generall, _Don Pedro Telio_,) neere vnto the Island of _Dominico_, and not by the valour of _Don Bernaldino_: the which fiue Frigots of the Kings afterwards had but ill successe, for one of them we burnt in the harbour of S. _Iohn Portrico_, and one other was sunck in the same harbour, and the other three were burnt amongst many other Shippes at the taking of _Cales_: This I thinke in wise mens iudgements, will seeme a seely cause to mooue a man sorrowe to death. For true it is, S_ir Fraunces Drake_ dyed of the Flixe which hee had growne vppon him eight daies before his death, and yeelded vp his spirite like a Christian to his creatour quietly in his Cabbin. And when the Generall shall suruey his losses, he shall finde it more then the losse of the English, and the most of his destroyed by the Bullet: But the death of _Sir Fraunces Drake_ was of so great comfort vnto the Spaniard, that it was thought to be a sufficient amendes, although their whole fleete had beene vtterly lost.
