Travels into PERSIA.
aliCutofT; not without fome reafonable Refledions that the Dutch Chap.VHI
were AccefTaries, being but falfe Neighbours to them at Batavia,
having a jealoufy of the Englijh Trading for F-fepper in thofe Parts,
and for that caufe have promoted Animofities betwixt Father and
Son ; taking this opportunity to fend Forces to the Son's AfMance,
but in reality to fecure for themfelves, while they have for
ced the Old King up the Country, to exped: his Majefty of Great
Britain's Strength in vain, by Embaflador's fent thither to Reinftate
him. Thus watchful and vigorous are the Hollanders to get all the
Spice Trade of Eafl-India into their own Hands^ that they may folely
enjoy it without any Competitors.

The Equinox and Seafons attending are Somewhat parallel

H E Agent of Perfia having left Gomlreon to go to fill up
JL the Chair at Sttrat, the Second at Spahaun was obliged to re
pair thither to take care of the Company's Concerns there ,• with
whom, I being now Recovered, on the io th of January, with a
French Chirurgeon in our Company, in the depth of Winter we fee
forth for the Perftan Gulf.
Wereturn'd thefame way, Travelling only in the Day time till Valleys filled
we came to Ejfduchos, where becaufe the Snow had lliut up the WIth Snovf '
Valleys, we were forced to leave it on the right, and go about by
the high Road, not frequented in Summer time fo much by light
Horfemen, as now, there being no Paflage the other way ; w herefore
our Entertainment this Journy is lefs Hofpitable, and the Caravan
generally more rude, it being the ufual Trad: for Camels and their
Drivers ( they moft an end providing only for themfelves) and better
Guefts being feldom or never expected; fo that in all probability we
might expedt to encounter Hardlhips; but the Silver Bait procu
red all things that Man could furniflius with ; and we met with no
other Difficulties than what the Weather created us.
Againft which we guarded our felves by good warm Furs, which We defend
are fome of Sables, Fox-Furs, or Sheeps-Wool artificially Crifped, and ou/feives
others for Servants of Sheep Skins undrefled, and their Coats lined W1£ ^
therewith, the lliaggy Fleece remaining untouched; and over all,
to prevent the fharp Winds deglubating us, we Houfed our felves
Cap-a-pee under Felts, or Taufengees , kneaded into Coats with
Sleeves, with a Scapular to pull over our Heads and Face ; a well
fixed Nofe being hardly Proof againft fuch cutting Cold. Whether
thefe Coats we wore againft this Seafon, might not be fuch as our
