Peper.—“...bij de Chineezen in Nangasaq ende die van Corea niet werdende getrocken” Firando 3 December 1634. (Opperhoofd Couckebacker aan den Gouverneur van Formosa, Putmans).—Vergelijk echter de volgende berichten: “At our returne to the English house [te Firando], I found three or foure Flemmings there; one of them was in a Iapan habit, and came from a place called Cushma [Tsushima], within sight of Corea. I vnderstand they sold Pepper and other Commodities there, and I thinke haue some secret trade into Corea, or else are very likely to haue” (The Voyage of Captain John Saris to Japan, bl. 170).—“Peper werd daer [Japan] vercocht tegen 15 ende 16 taijl t’ picol; dese werdt ten deele in Japan gesleten, pertije naer Corea vervoert” (Gen. Miss. 3 Febr. 1626).
