receve from him full and complete satisfaction. <span type="fireworks"

>Saterday</date> likewise <eventName>the fight upon the water</eventName> came
short of that shew and bragges had ben made of yt, but they pretend the best to be
behind and left for another day, which was the winning of the castle on land: but
the King and indeed all the companie tooke so litle delight to see no other
activitie but shooting and potting of gunnes that yt is quite geven over and the
navie unrigged and the castle pulled downe, the rather for that there were divers
hurt in the former fight, (as one lost both his eyes, another both his handes,
another one hande, with divers others maymed and hurt) so that to avoyde further
harme, yt was thought best to let yt alone, and this is the conclusion of all the
preparation with so much expence of powder and monie which amounted to no lesse
then <measure type="currency">nine thousand pound</measure>.</span>
