At nyght the wynd feared {COM:veered} to the nornorthwest so that we

(MADOX-E2-H,139.388)
when some wold willingly have goen to Plymmowth , some , as namely M.
Whood , desyred that at least the Frances myght turne in thither and
fet M. Hawkins , (MADOX-E2-H,140.390)
the generawl wold not in any case suffer yt , which made men thynk that
he wold more gladly have goen withowt hym than to have had his cumpany

of creeping dissimulation , yt is hard ther to setle the seeds of any
good advice , (MADOX-E2-H,140.399)
for now beginneth the hydden poyson to breth owt . (MADOX-E2-H,140.400)
Whil M. Hawkins supposed that consydering Sir Frances Drakes bownty to

a poynt of curtesy to have doen Sir Francis that honowr as to have come
to Plymmowth . M. Fenton on the other syde fownd smal musique on this

howse thirsty as cawl and drink . (MADOX-E2-H,141.402)
Whether he lacked money or noe I can not tel , (MADOX-E2-H,141.403)

yet did the master send yt . (MADOX-E2-H,141.410)
Yn mean season the generaul comanding to wey anchors , the mariners
utterly refused , saying that they ventured for the thirds and wold not
therfore go withowt the pilats . (MADOX-E2-H,141.411)
The general hearat storming , the master bad them way

Then dyd we enter in to a close consultation for every impudent
boy leaned over our sholders whether yt wer better hold on our
cowrse or turn yn agayn . (MADOX-E2-H,141.419)
When the master had desyred to go back , the generaul blamed hym for
sending back the boat (MADOX-E2-H,141.420)
and sayd that what if you lead me back againe to reise a mutinie
ageinst mee . (MADOX-E2-H,141.421)

Some aledged the want of a gret meyny of men , (MADOX-E2-H,142.424)
but the general sayd he wold to Famowth and take us as many as were
left . (MADOX-E2-H,142.425)

When every man pel mel $had {TEXT:and} spent his mowth with as smal
discretion for hym self as attendance for the hearer , Capten Ward at
last sayd that althoe our lat speed hytherto and the fayr wynd
presently dyd wysh hast and althoe yt had been reason thes men shold
have attended us and not wee them , for on thes 3 poynts the general

we myght have more wynd but now cold have noe more men , he wyshed us
to stand back , (MADOX-E2-H,142.427)

and when we had stood to the eastward 2 howrs , the Frances was come |
(MADOX-E2-H,142.429)

and those that wold have eaten the backsyde of mowntayns wold not now
byte the fore part of a molehil . (MADOX-E2-H,142.436)
After muche adoe we were al frends and so knyt up .

In this discowrs I noted the generaul colorik and bas , joined with

fine and folish and lordly conseeted , Capten Ward a good rownd wis
felo , M. Whood hob glorios . (MADOX-E2-H,142.438)
We had a fayr wynd (MADOX-E2-H,142.439)

for the pole was 46 degres . (MADOX-E2-H,143.445)
Dyvers of our men wer syck (MADOX-E2-H,143.446)

holsom cumforts and ordynary salves and let them ly in the hands of
some honest merchant and let the surgion be prepared to use the salve
when need is (MADOX-E2-H,143.447)
and some good clean cooke to mynister the other cherishings

and so shal xli go further and do more good than a C=li= in such wyse
as owr money is bestoed . (MADOX-E2-H,143.449)
All this whyl I was seasike , and no mervel having changed at once both

creping ypocrysy was more ravenowsly set upon the pray than any the

and those also which at the shore dyd cownterfet most holynes wer now
furthest from reason affyrming that we cold not do God better service
than to spoyl the Spaniard both-2 of lyfe and goodes ,
