them in, and saith the reason (as hee hath heard and beleeveth) why Pylotts doe<br />
not goe off to shippe before they come soe neere is because shipps may came soe<br />
neere, and safely anchor, and alsoe in respect of the danger of Turkish men<br />
of warr who doe usually infest that coast, And saith that the sayd Jeggles<br />
