Year for the Gulf, as well to fupport the declining Credit of the
Engliflj there, for not complying with their Articles of Agreement,
as to try if a Trade of Englijh Cloth and Tin might be promoted
on this Side, as well as in India ; but with a fruitlefs Attempt, as
in fit place may be made appear.
The of February^ 167J. from SwaUy-hole the Ship was difpatch- The sciph a-

Council judging it needlefs to fend two fuch Ships on fuch an Errand
as they could not repeat for the future, without incurring a Repri- to guard the 0
