<N 4> <Q Pyniero.>  Open the Ports, and see the watch reliev'd,
<N 5> And let the guards be carefull of their busines,
<N 6> Their vigilant eyes fixt on these Islanders.
<N 7> They are false and desperate people, when they find
<N 8> The least occasion open to encouragement,
<N 9> Cruell, and crafty soules, beleeve me Gentlemen.
<N 10> Their late attempt, which is too fresh amongst us,
<N 11> In which against all arms, and honesty,
<N 12> The Governour of Ternata made suprize
<N 13> Of our confederate, the King of Tidore,
<N 14> As for his recreation he was rowing
<N 15> Between both Lands, bids us be wise and circumspect.
