To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ingram's record, 1 the most fabulous but fortunately the shortest of the three, was omitted from Hakluyt's final edition of 1 599- 1600 although in some points 'this Examinate's' testi- mony is certainly worth preserving ' the reward of lying, ' as Purchas complains, ' being not to be believed in truths ' (Pilgrimes, vol iv. P. 1179, ed. Of 1625; book vi. Ch. 4). It is from Hartop, a gunner of the Jesus, not from Hawkins himself, that we learn of the reprisals under- taken by the English squadr...on against the Portuguese, during the first stage of the voyage, off West Africa. Hartop also is the only one who tells us how, at Margarita island in the West Indies, ' our general, in despite of the Spaniards, landed and took in fresh victuals'; how at Placentia the bishop [and people] ' hearing of our coming for fear forsook the town ' ; how at Rio de la Hacha Drake cut out, ran ashore, and seized as prize a Spanish ' caravel of advice, ' or official despatch boat, from the Vice- roy at San Domingo.
