142 REASONS AGAINST JOURNEY TO PUTTANA [REL. IX

dare boldly say that if the president etts. in Suratt had
notice that there w as but one sort of Cloth to be found
there (and that scarce), Alsoe that it would require 5
monethes tyme att least, with extraordinarie Costs and
daunger, And that the said Cloth might be found in Agra
(I am perswaded) much cheaper then it w ill issue unto us,
I say if the}- had know ne all this (as Mr Fremlen did very
well), they would never haven1 enordered nor mentioned
the said Imployment.

The foregoeing Relation by order should have bene sett
before our comeing from Agra, but was omitted, and is
here joyned to the issue of that business which imedeatly
followes on th'other side2.

1 An old form of the infinitive, obsolete even in Mundy's day.

2 Instead of this paragraph, the copy in Hart. MS. 2286 has—
"The former Reasons doe shew my opinion onely before the Im-
ployment was sett on foote. What followes will declare the several!
passages of the Imployment it selfe, Visit? Then follows Relation x.
without any break.
