goe with vs to Ierusalem.  Departing from Tripolie, we arriued at Iaffa:  from which place in a day and a halfe we went to Ierusalem, and we gaue order to our barke to tary for vs vntill our returne. [Sidenote:  The author returned to Venice 1581.] Wee stayed in Ierusalem 14. dayes, to visite those holy places:  from whence we returned to Iaffa, and from Iaffa to Tripolie, and there wee shipped our selues in a ship of Venice called the Bagazzana:  And by the helpe of the deuine power, we arriued safely in Venice the fift of Nouember 1581.  If there be any that hath any desire to goe into those partes of India, let him not be astonied at the troubles that I haue passed:  because I was intangled in many things:  for that I went very poore from Venice with 1200. duckets imployed in marchandize, and when I came to Tripolie, I fell sicke in the house of Master Regaly Oratio, and this man sent away my goods with a small Carouan that went from Tripolie to Alepo, and the Carouan was robd, and all my goods lost sauing foure chests of glasses which cost me 200. duckets, of which glasses I found many broken:  because the theeues thinking it had bene other marchandize, brake them vp, and seeing they were glasses they let them all alone.  And with this onely stocke I aduentured to goe into the Indies:  And thus with change and rechange, and by diligence in my voyage, God did blesse and helpe mee, so that I got a good stocke.  I will not be vnmindfull to put them in remembrance, that haue a desire to goe into those parts, how they shall keepe their goods, and giue them to their heires at the time of their death, [Marginal note:  A very good order that they haue in those Countreys for the recouering of the goods of the dead.] and howe this may be done very securely.  In all the cities that the Portugales haue in the Indies, there is a house called the schoole of Sancta misericordia comissaria:  the gouernours whereof, if you giue them for their paines, will take a coppy of your will and Testament, which you must alwayes cary about you; and chiefly when you go into the Indies.  In the countrey of the Moores and Gentiles, in those voyages alwayes there goeth a Captaine to administer Iustice to all Christians of the Portugales.  Also this captaine hath authoritie to recouer the goods of those Marchants that by chance die in those voyages, and they that haue not made their Wills and registred them in the aforesayde schooles, the Captaines wil consume their goods in such wise, that litle or nothing will be left for their heires and friends.  Also there goeth in these same voyages some marchants that are commissaries of the schoole of Sancta misericordia, that if any Marchant die and haue his Will made, and hath giuen order that the schoole of Misericordia shall haue his goods and sell them, then they sende the money by exchange to the schoole of Misericordia in Lisbone, with that copie of his Testament, then from Lisbon they giue intelligence thereof, into what part of Christendome soeuer it be, and the heires of
