notes: 
In 1614 the Dutch East India Company and the States-General commissioned Joris van Spilbergen to sail to the Moluccas via the Strait of Magellan. Spilbergen and his men were pursued by the commander general of the Spanish fleet, Don Rodrigo de Mendoza, and engaged battle off of the coast of Lima, Peru. This work is taken from Willem Corneliszoon Schouten, Journal ofte beschryvinghe van de wonderlicke reyse, Frankfurt a. M., 1619. The appendix is translated from Joris van Spilbergen, Oost en West-Indische spiegel, Leiden, 1619. Theodor de Bry's America. Pt. 11. Latin.
