ABSTRACT

The process of the sentence hath clearly shown the good process and order of justice which the idolatrous and barbarous peoples have in their way, and the natural clemency which God hath put in a King who liveth without knowledge of the true God. The Portugals who were freed by the sentence, when they carried them whither the King commanded, found by the way all things necessary in great abundance, in the houses which the King had in every town for the Louthias when they travel. Those who were at liberty, now some and then some, came to the ships of the Portugals through the industry of some Chinas, who brought them very secretly, moved by the great bribes which they received from the Portugal merchants who drove their trade in the city of Cantao.
