[They had a mind to Beef, and how they got it.] Yet notwithstanding being not used to such short Commons of Flesh, tho they had Rice in abundance, and having no Money to buy more, they had a desire to kill some Cows, that they might eat their Bellies full of Beef, but made it somewhat a point of Conscience, whether it might be lawful or not, to take them without leave.  Upon which they apply themselves to the old Father abovesaid, desiring him to solve this Case of Conscience.  Who was very ready to give them a Dispensation.  And told them, That forasmuch as the Chingulayes were their Enemies and had taken their Bodies, it was very lawful for them to satisfie their Bodies with their Goods.  And the better to animate them in this design, bid them bring him a piece, that he might partake with them.  So being encouraged by the old Father, they went on boldly in their intended Business.

[A Passage of the Courage of the Men.] Now if you would have an account of the Metal and Manfulness of these men, as you have already had a tast of ours, take this passage.  The Jack Fruit the Kings Officers often gather wheresoever it grows, and give to the Kings Elephants, and they may gather it in any mans grounds without the Owners leave, being for the Kings use.  Now these English men were appointed to dwell in an house, that formerly belonged unto a Noble man, whom the King had cut off, and seized upon it.  In the ground belonging to this House stood a Jack Tree full of Fruit.  Some of the Kings men came thither to gather some of them to feed the Elephants.  But altho the English had free liberty to gather what they could eat or desire, yet they would permit none but themselves to meddle with them, but took the Officers by the shoulders and turned them out of the Garden, altho there were more a great many than they could tell what to do with.  The Great men were so Civil, that notwithstanding this Affront, they laid no Punishment upon them.  But the Event of this was, that a few days after they were removed from this house to another, where was a Garden but no Trees in it.  And because they would not allow the King a few, they lost all themselves.

[Two of his Company taken into Court.] I mentioned before two Lads of this Company, whom the King chose out for his own service, their Names were Hugh Smart and Henry Man.  These being taken into his Court, obtained great Favour and Honour from him, as to be always in his presence, and very often he would kindly and familiarly talk with them concerning their Country, what it afforded; and of their King and his Strength for War.  Thus they lived in his Favour for some time.
