Saturday. Die Sancti Matth:ei. We departed from Mortlake about 3 of the clock after noon: the Lord Albert Laski (Vaywoda of Siradia, in Polonia) meeting me on the water, as we had appointed: and so brought night to London. And in the dead of the night, by wherries, we went to Greenwich to my friend Goodman Fern I the potter his house, where we refreshed ourselves. And thither came a great tilt-boat from Gravesend to take us in (by appointment of me and Mr Stanley) to go to our ships, which we had caused to lie seven or eight mile beyond Gravesend: to which ships we came on Sunday morning by sunrise. In the greater of them (being a double fly-boat of Denmark) my Lord Laski, I and E.K. with my wife and children, &c. went. And in another ship (by me also hired for this passage) went some of my Lord his men, two horse, &c. That ship was a boyer, a pretty ship. With little wind we straightway hoysed sail, and began our voyage in the ship.
