He cost me 20 _tais_ Japon plate. I delivered one hundred _tais_ plate bars to Mr. Nealson, proceed of thinges of his sould per Ric. King at Miaco.

Adames, Mr. Wickham, our _jurebasso_, and others can witnesse; and procured Takamon Dono (our enymie) to bring the matter in question, he being cheefe justice in the kingdom of Firando. And so he sent 3 men unto me in the name of Groby Dono to demand performance of sale of 30 _picull_ of silk. But I took such a course that my bad writing proved good, and served hym as he served me, yet nothing but the truth. The King of Firando sent unto me to make an end of the processe I have with Cazanseque, scrivano of Giquans junk, which Mr. Sayer cam in from Syam. _January 4._--I began a plito (or processe) this day against Cazanseque, the scrivano of Giquans junk, and Goresano, our quandom _jurebasso_, the coppie wherof, in Japons, I keepe in my hand, and sent the princepall to King of Firando per Mr. Sayer and Jno. _jurebasso_.
