More by taking of his bulles, to wit, two millions and 72 thousand for liuing and dead persons for the prouinces of Noua Hispania, Iucatan, Guatimala, the Honduras, and the Phillippinas, taxed at two reals the piece.  And more for eighteene thousand bulles taxed at foure reals, amounteth all to 107700 pounds.  Summa totalis 707700 li.

More there were taken ten fardels of gilt missals and breuiaries sent for the kings account.

So the hindrance that the king receiueth by the losse of his bulles and quicksiluer amounteth as is abouesaid:  besides the sacking of his wines, about 100 tunnes, whereby his fleet is disappointed of a great part of their prouision.

A true report of the honourable seruice at Sea perfourmed by Sir Iohn
  Burrough Knight, Lieutenant generall of the fleet prepared by the honour. 
  Sir Walter Ralegh Knight, Lord warden of the Stanneries of Cornwall and
  Deuon.  Wherein chiefly the Santa Clara of Biscay, a ship of 600 tunnes
  was taken, and the two East Indian caraks, the Santa Cruz and the Madre
