To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I do not remember whether I have said or not, that two ships sent by Fernando Cortes from New Spain, the latest new lands known to us, had arrived at the Azores. I will tell you how it was arranged that they should not fall into the wide spread jaws of the pirates, who had long waited for them cruising around, and how they avoided them and what they bring. One of them, having dis charged her cargo, determined to try her luck, and by the help of Providence, did not fall among the robbers, escapi...ng safely. This news being heard, a fleet of six ships was hastily prepared, of which four are two hundred tons burthen, and also two cara vels completely equipped for fighting, in case they met with pirates. The King of Portugal added four others, good sailers and well furnished with all kinds of guns. They sailed on the 25th of June, took in the cargoes left behind, and returned safely about the end of July. Thanks were offered to God in Seville. We expect the chief captains every day. There were only two small ships from Cortes.
