To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When the Portuguese expelled all theCastilian religious from Macan and ordered them to go to Yndia, andnot to return here, two friars fled secretly to the city of Canton, and thence they went to Chincheo by land, covering a distance ofabout one hundred leagues, without receiving any harm whatever; onthe contrary, they were well treated, and the mardarin of Chincheosent them back to this city in one of his own ships. The captainwho brought them has visited me several times, and I have thankedhim.... At present these religious are in this city, and have spoken tome of what occurred to them on the journey from Macan to Chincheo, and of the presents which the captain who brought them here fromChincheo gave them. From all the aforesaid we infer that what has beenreported of the refusal of the Chinese kingdom, and of its rulers, to permit entrance to foreigners has been invention and slander by thePortuguese, who did this for their own private interests, fearing thattheir commerce with the Chinese would cease if the Castilians gainedan entrance there.
