of Spain's forts, which salutation we returned again with our guns.

My husband received the Governor upon deck, and carried him into the
round-house, who, as soon as he was there, told my husband, that
contrary to the usage of the King of Spain, his Majesty had commanded
that his ships and forts should first salute the King of England's
Ambassador, and that his Majesty had commanded that both in that place
of Cadiz and in all others to the Court of Madrid, my husband and all
his retinue should be entertained upon the King's account, in as full
and ample manner, both as to persons and conveyance of our goods and
persons, as if his Majesty were there in person. My husband and self
and children went in the barge, the rest in other barges provided for
that purpose.

At our setting off, Sir John Lawson saluted us with very many guns,
and as we went near the shore the cannon saluted us in great numbers.
When we landed we were carried on shore in a rich chair supported by
eight men: we were welcomed by many volleys of shot, and all the
persons of quality of that town by the sea-side, among whom was the
Governor, did conduct my husband with all his train. There were
infinite numbers of people, who with the soldiery did show us all the
respect and welcome imaginable. I was received by his Excellency Don
Melchor de la Cueva, the Duke of Albuquerque's brother, and the
Governor of the garrison, who both led me four or five paces to a rich
sedan, which carried me to the coach where the Governor's lady was,
who came out immediately to salute me, and whom, after some
compliments, I took into the coach with me and my children.

When we came to the house where we were to lodge, we were nobly
treated, and the Governor's wife did me the honour to sup with me.
