[76] The French have a factory there. [77] Three of their ships came andfought with the Hollanders, who took away one; the other two were sentto France with cargoes. Some galleons have also come from the English, who, according to report, now have fourteen. It is said that theyhave had a fight with the Hollanders, from whom they took away twoships. These two nations are unfriendly because of the above-mentionedinjury which the English received from the Hollanders, and also becausethey are rival...s. It is said that the English have an order from theirking to the effect that if the Hollanders should be stronger thanthemselves they must join with us and harass them on all sides. The Hollanders have seen that in their battles with us they havereceived much damage from our galleys; therefore they built twovessels of this class to bring with their fleet to these islands. Butour Lord was pleased so to order it that, when coming from Amb[o]inoto Ternate, one galley sank with all the people, and the other ranaground, although the people were saved.
