Hereupon, because his error should not be discovered, he departed in a small vessell thence, not making for _Pisa_, as he should have done, but directly for _Naples_ hee shaped his course. At that instant lodged there, _Don Pietro della Canigiano_, Treasurer of the Empresse of _Constantinople_, a man of great wisedome and understanding, as also very ingenious and politike, he being an especiall Favourer of _Salabetto_ and all his friendes, which made him presume the more boldly (being urged thereto by meere necessity, the best corrector of wandering wits) to acquaint him with his lamentable misfortune, in every particular as it had hapned, requesting his aid and advice, how he might best weare out the rest of his dayes, because hee never meant to visit _Florence_ any more. _Canigiano_ being much displeased at the repetition of his Follie, sharply reproved him, saying. Thou hast done leudly, in carying thy selfe so loosely, and spending thy Masters goods so carelesly, which though I cannot truly tearme spent, but rather art meerely cousened and cheated of them, yet thou seest at what a deere rate thou hast purchased pleasure, which yet is not utterly helplesse, but may by one meanes or other be recovered. And being a man of woonderfull apprehension, advised him instantly what was to bee done, furnishing him also with a summe of money, wherewith to adventure a second losse, in hope of recovering the first againe: he caused divers Packes to be well bound up, with the Merchants markes orderly made on them, and bought about twenty Buttes or Barrelles, all filled (as it were) with Oyle, and these pretended commodities being shipt, _Salabetto_ returned with them to _Palermo_. Where having given in his packets to the Custome-house, and entred them all under his owne name, as being both owner and factor: all his Wares were lockt up in his _Magazine_,** with open publication, that he would not vent any of them, before other merchandises (which he daily expected) were there also arrived.
