In my own mind have been thinking
up ~ now to undertake fourth voyage,
aud this being accomplished. it was also
done with promise OF two now ships
and their arnaWepts, that for seeking
new regions towards tho soutl, in the
direction Of tho cast ! should pass
through the wind which is called the
African. In which voyage l think tc
accomplish many things, to the praise OF
God and the advantage Of this kingdom.
and the honor Of my old age. and look
for nothing else beyond the consent OF
his most serene majesty. God grant
what may I've for the best. Hc knoweth
that wh'cI, shall come 10 pass.

the heaven and its majesty and to bt
more wise than il Is permitted, since from
SO great time when tho world bcsar
the Sastness Of the earth is not know
and the things which are contained in Il.
