Command of the Castle or that they very well know them a Pylott<br />

were made for a Pylott to come, for that many tymes they are deceived<br />
by the Turkish vessells who put out false colours and if a pylott or any else<br />
come neere them they take them for slaves And<br />
saith that when the sayd Jeggles first arrived with his sayd shipp on the<br />
Portugall coast not knowing the name of the place neere which hee was the<br />
