They trade there, and a few years ago the Javans drove them out.

Since the English have become their allies, they are able to keep the natives in subjection, and are building a fortress.
They have other factories in the kingdom of Patan, at one of which they buy a great deal of pepper.

Patan lies more to the north of the strait of Sincapura (which others call the strait of Malaca); and further north lies the kingdom of Sian, which is very rich in many kinds of merchandise, and in rubies.

They have another factory there.

In the kingdom of Cambosea [_sic_; _sc._ Camboja] they have another, and still another in Cochinchina.
