Et cum his diebus ventum meridionalem satis pro se habuerit validum, creditur, quod ante tres aut quattuor dies iam abierit seque Neptuno et fortunae commiserit.

Quod si in Daniam traiicere non potuerit vel in Sueciam, ubi etiam indigenae contra illum feruntur instructi, cogetur vel redire in Hollandiam aut prorsus se conferre in Norvegiam, ubi non poterit nisi in summa rerum inopia hibernare. Quid ex ea profectione futurum, brevi experiemur.
