Summary
What respect of Ilandes is to be had, and why.
Whereas the Portingales haue in their course to their Indies in the Southeast, certaine portes and fortificatiōs to thrust into by the way, to diuers great purposes: So you are to see what Hands and what portes you had neede to haue by the way in your course, to the Northeast. For which cause I wish you to enter into consideration of the matter, and to note all the Hands, and to set them downe in plat, to two endes, that is to say, That wee may deuise to take the benefite by them. And also foresee how by thē the Sauages or ciuill Princes may in any sort anoy vs in our purposed trade that way.
And for that the people to the which wee purpose in this voyage to goe, be no Christians, it were good that the masse of our commodities were alwayes in our owne disposition and not at the will of others. Therefore it were good that we did seeke out some small Hand in the Scithian Sea, where we might plant, Fortifie, and Staple safely, frō whēce (as time shoulde serue) wee might feede those heathen nations with our commodities without cloying them, or without venturing our hole masse in the bowels of their countrey.
And to whiche Ilande if neede were (and if we shoulde thinke so good) we might allure the Northeast navie, the nauie of Cambalu to resort with their commodities to vs there planted, and stapling there.
