June 13.	1,354. Governor Sir W. Beeston to the Duke of Shrewsbury. I enclose deposition of Edward James and Wm. Fullwood. [The Spanish] have killed many of our people in cold blood, wherever they have met with them, and when asked why, their common answer is "You are Heretick dogs and therefore ought to be destroyed." I hope His Majesty will take notice of this usage of his subjects; otherwise our people in revenge will destroy them. Continues to same effect as Cal. 1697, No. 1080, paragraph 2. Signed, Wm. Beeston. Holograph. 1 p. [America and West Indies. Jamaica, 540. No. 51.]
