First from Dutch
English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The work in question is a 1706 Dutch translation of Andrew Battell's account, which was originally written in English and first published in Samuel Purchas's 'Purchas His Pilgrimes' (1625). The Dutch edition explicitly states on its title page that it is translated from the English ('Door hem selfs in het Engels beschreven, En daar uyt nu aldereerst vertaald'). Since the original English text exists and predates the Dutch translation, the Dutch text is a translation of the English, not the other way around. Therefore, there is no 'English translation' of this specific Dutch text, as the Dutch text is itself a derivative of the original English.
