Note 8 — PREFACE.

See Purchas his Pilgrimes, i. 369. Foyne rather astonished Saris by asking for a piece of poldavis, or canvas, to make his shirt; and he seems to have appreciated English beef and pork, “sod with onions and turnips” (ibid., i. 369, 400). It was perhaps indulgence in such luxuries that gained him the nick-name of “Lucullus”, which occurs in one of Wickham’s letters.
