The 11 day of October we were boorded with foure gallies, manned with 1200
men, which also made a sleeuelesse arrant, and troubled us very much, but
our captaines pasport, and the gift of 100 chekins discharged all.
The 27 of October we passed by Zante with a merrie winde, the 29 by Corfu,
and the third of Nouember we arriued at Istria, and there we left our great
ship, and tooke small boates to bring vs to Venice.
The 9 of Nouember I arriued again at Venice in good health, where I staied
nine daies, and the 25 of the same moneth I came to Augusta, and staied
there but one day.
The 27 of Nouember I set towards Nuremberg where I came the 29, and there
staied till the 9 of December, and was very well interteined of the English
marchants there: and the gouernors of the towne sent me and my company
sixteene gallons of excellent good wine.
From thence I went to Frankford, from Frankford to Collen, from Collen to
Arnam, from Arnam to Vtreight, from Vtreight to Dort, from Dort to
Antwerpe, from Antwerpe to Flushing, from Flushing to London, where I
arriued vpon Twelue eue in safetie, and gaue thanks to God, hauing finished
my iourney to Ierusalem and home againe, in the space of nine moneths and
fiue dayes.
