It is abundantly provided with cannon and war-supplies, which are sent from the Manilles.

Then they form their fleets from them; and the other Spaniards who come from the Manilles do the same.

The garrison of the latter consists generally of 27 Spaniards, 20 Papaugos, and some other people from the Manilles.

Thence I would suggest going directly to the Manilles to destroy all the vessels in their ports, so that they could not aid Ternate.

It would be difficult for them to provide Ternate with cloth, for the little taken there now is brought by the Chinese to the Manilles.
