But in her course thither, about the aforesaid month of January, 1656, near an island called Palliapanjan, within few leagues of the road of Bantam, they met with five ships belonging to the Dutch East India company, who told the master and company of the Jonathan, that they must nor should goe into Bantam; for that they lay there by order of the general of the Dutch East India company at Batavia, to oppose them or any other ship from England, that should endeavour to go thither."[1]
