A letter of M. Thomas Candish to the right honourable the Lord Hunsdon, Lord Chamberlaine, one of her Maiesties most honourable Priuy Councell, touching the successe of his voyage about the world.
RIght honourable, as your fauour heretofore hath bene most
greatly extended towards me, so I humbly desire a continuance
thereof: and though there be no meanes in me to deserue the
same, yet the vttermost of my seruices shall not be wanting,
whensoeuer it shall please your honour to dispose thereof. I am
humbly to desire your honour to make knowen vnto her Maiesty
the desire I haue had to doe her Maiesty service in the performance
of this voyage. And as it hath pleased God to giue her
the victory ouer part of her enemies, so I trust yer long to see her
ouerthrow them all. For the places of their wealth, whereby
they haue mainteined and made their warres, are now perfectly
discouered: and if it please her Maiesty, with a very small power
she may take the spoile of them all. It hath pleased the
Almighty to suffer me to circompasse the whole globe of the
world, entring at the Streight of Magellan, and returning by the
cape de Buena Esperança. In which voyage I haue either discouered

the world that euer were knowen or discouered by any
Christian. I nauigated alongst the coast of Chili, Peru, and
