Summary
It may please your worships to vnderstand that, in the yeere 1563 I was appointed by Master Anthonie Jenkinson and Master Thomas Glouer, your Agent in Russia, to go for Persia in your worships affaires, one Thomas Alcocke hauing the charge of the voyage committed to him, and I, one of your worships seruants, being ioined with him in your busines, hauing with vs, as they said, fifteene rubbles. And if it shall please you, I cannot tel certainely what summe of money we had then of the Emperours: for I receiued none, nor disbursed any of it in wares for the voyage. Also, God I take to record, I could not tell what stocke your worships had there, for the bookes were kept so priuilie, that a man could neuer see them. The 10. of May, anno. 1563. we departed from a towne called Yeraslaue, vpon our voyage towards Persia.
