_Item_. In Patane there is a factory, without a garrison; from it are shipped glazed earthenware, silk, and various drugs which come from China, and one shipload of more than 600 toneladas of pepper each year. _Item_. In Cian [_i.e._, Siam] they have a factory, without a garrison; from it are carried jewels and various drugs of much value. _Item_. In Borneo they have a factory, without a garrison. Thence are sent gold, jewels, and camphor. _Item_. In Japon they have a factory, without a garrison. Thence are shipped military supplies and provisions for Maluco; and thus the Dutch greatly hinder the progress of Christianity in that country. _Item_. In Macazar they had two factories; but have removed them thence because the king and the natives do not get along well with them. _Item_. In the island of Banda they have a garrison, with artillery and troops. They gather there Masatrella nutmegs to the amount of more than 1,600 bares each year. _Item_. In the island of Caramandel they have a fortress with a garrison and two factories, one called Masapotamia, [28] and the other Petapulli; from them is carried cloth to trade and barter in Maluco. _Item_. In the island of Bachan they have a garrisoned fortress; more than a hundred bares of cloves are shipped thence each year. _Item_. In the island of Maquian they have three garrisoned fortresses; and 1,200 bares of cloves are gathered there each year. _Item_. In the island of Mutiel they have a garrisoned fortress. From this island they ship more than 350 bares of cloves each year. _Item_. In the island of Tidore they have a garrisoned fortress, and his Majesty has another. The whole island yields each year about 600 bares of cloves, of which half, or a little less, is secured by the Dutch. _Item_. In the island of Terrenate they have two garrisoned fortresses, and his Majesty has one. The island yields each year more than 700 bares of cloves; and the profitable part of it is gathered by the Dutch, as they have friendly relations with the natives, while his Majesty obtains never a pound--although it is true that the greater part is lost through war.
