"Before we treat of the expedition of Francisco de Sa, it is proper
to state the occasion of the expedition, and how that was connected
with the treaty of peace and friendship which, by order of Jorge de
Albuquerque, governor of Malacca, Henriquez Lerne concluded with the
King of Sunda, on account of the pepper produce in that kingdom.
