The King of Argeers, to whom I delivered his Maties letters credential, when in 1662 I went his Maties commissioner for the redemption of the English captives there with hierarchical and cathedral money, with which I redeemed and brought home with me all, viz. 162 slaves.

JOHN BAKGRAVE, Gent., of Kent.

Canon of Christ Church, Canterbury.

An Italian slave, a painter, drew me this rude piece at Argeers, very like as to face and habit. The copies of which in large I gave, one to his MaUe Charles the Second, who hanged it in his private closet; another I gave to my patron, Archbishop Juxon; a third to Archbishop Sheldon; and a fourth I kept for myself, in memorandum of that Christian and noble imploy, 1662.”
