Has always faithfully served the King. In that unfortunate
engagement against the Moors in Barbary,
Sept. 19 last, had several wounds, his horse killed
under him and all those under his command slain,
was taken prisoner and so kept for several
months. Was carried 20 days' journey into the
country before the Emperor Muley Ismael, and
contracted with said Emperor for his ransom 400 guns
each seven spans long, to be delivered Aug. 15
next, for which the English merchants there are
his security, and the rest of the ransom referred
to Alcade Marino, Governor of Sallee. Notwithstanding
his agreement with the said Alcade for
1,000 pieces of eight, yet before he could obtain
his liberty he was forced to pay and secure to be
paid the sums as follows, besides the loss of his
horses and equipage in the said engagement, and
the charge of his voyage to London. Therefore
prays the King to give order for the said guns, and
for payment of 515l. 0s. 6d., and for compensation
for said equipage, etc.
