The strange voyage and adventures of domingo gonsales, to the world in the moon. Containing an account of the Island of St. Helenn, the place where he resided some years in, and where he planned this wonderful voyage; his entering on board one of the home-ward-bound East-India ships, for Spain; their running on the rocks near the pike of Teneiff, to avoid an English squadon of ships that were in pursuit of the Spanish fleet; Gonsales had just time to six his machine, which carried him in safety to the pike of Teneriff, having tested his ganzas on the mountain, whence he was pursued by the savages; when, giving the signal to his birds, they arose in the air with him for their journey to the moon: the wounderful apparitions and devils he met with in his progress; their temptations to him, which he avoided, and their supplying him with choice provisions; his leaving his hellish crew and proceeding on his voyage to the moon; his safe arrival there; the manners, customs, and languages of the emperors, kings, princes, and people; his short stay there, to the great grief of the lunars; the inestimable presents in jewels the author received at his departure; his repassing to our earthly globe again, and was set down in China, by his birds; his being taken for a magician by the country people, and preserved from their say by a Chinese mandarin; his going aboard to India ship bound to Europe; his safe arrival in his own country, where he made his discoveries to the King of Spain, who held several cabinet counsels to deliberate on a proper use to be made of these discoveries. With a description of the pike of Teneriff, as travelled up by some English merchants.
