n this wise: the land is tilled and sowen, and the herbe is like to Panizzo, and the roote is the ginger. These two spices grow in divers places. The Cloves come all from the Moluccas , which Moluccas are two Islands, not very great, and the tree that they grow on is like to our Lawrell tree. The Nutmegs and Maces, which grow both together, are brought from the Island of Banda, whose tree is like to our walnut tree, but not so big. All the good white Sandol is brought from the Island of Timor. Canfora being compound commeth all from China , and all that which groweth in canes commeth from Borneo , & I thinke that this Canfora commeth not into these parts : for that in India they consume great store, and that is very deare. The good Lignum Aloes commeth from Cauchinchina. The Benjamin commeth from the kingdome of Assi and Sion . Long peper groweth in Bengala, Pegu , and Java .

Hither come many ships from China & from the Malucos, Banda, Timor , and from many other Ilands of the Javas, which bring great store of spices and drugs, and diamants and other jewels. The voyages into many of these Ilands belong unto the captaine of Malacca: so that none may goe thither without his licence: while of Banda : the tree is like to our walnut tree, but somewhat lesser. The white sandol is wood very sweet & in great request among the Indians; for they grinde it with a litle water, and anoynt their bodies therewith: it commeth from the Isle of Timor.
