In Antdorff I went to the house of Von Oka, to a merchant called Jaspar Schetzen, to whom the before-mentioned Peter Rösel in Sanct Vincente is factor, as above related. To him I brought the news, of how the French had attacked his factor's ship at Rio de Jenero, but had been repulsed. The said merchant presented me with two imperial ducats, wherewith to pay my way.

Now, should there be any young man who is not satisfied with this writing and testimony, let him, so that he may not remain in doubt, with God's assistance, begin this voyage. I have herein given him information enough, let him follow the spoor; to him whom God helps, the world is not closed!

To Almighty God, who is all in all, be Glory, Honour, and Praise, from Eternity to Eternity! Amen.
