August 1612



Aug. 3. Croydon.	617. Archbishop of Canterbury to the King. Certain advertisement from the East that the Persian and the Turk are accorded for the point of merchandise. The Persian yieldeth to the Grand Signor 400 bales of silk yearly, worth 40,000l., and in consideration the Persians are to have free passage for their merchandise into the Turk's dominions; so that now Sir Robt. Sherley's negotiation may be at an end when he shall see time to retire himself from hence. [Extract from DOMESTIC, Jac. I, Vol. LXX., No. 24. Cal., p. 140.]
Aug. 21. Madrid.	618. Sir John Digby to King James. Three caracks from the East Indies safely arrived at Lisbon very richly laden. In them came an Englishman, who had been an officer in the Ascension, cast away some two years past; he reports that the great ship of London, called the Trades Increase, had been to St. Helena, and was gone for England.
