Their ships were doubtless like the Margaret Cely, which the two Cely brothers bought and called after their mother, for the not excessive sum of £28, exclusive of rigging and fittings. She carried a master, boatswain, cook, and sixteen jolly sailor-men, and she kept a good look out for pirates and was armed with cannon and bows, bills, five dozen darts, and twelve pounds of gunpowder!
Item, sir, this same day your mastership is elected and appointed here by the Court one of the 28, the which shall assist the Master of the Staple now at this parliament time.'-Ibid., p. 162. Gower, op. cit., p. 281. Cely Papers, pp. xii, xxiv-v. Stonor Letters, II, pp. 62-3; see also Cely Papers, pp. 1, 10, 13. Stonor Letters, II, p. 4. Stonor Letters, II, p. 48. Cely Papers, p. xxiii.
I am much beholden to the excellent introductions to these two books, which are models of what editorial introductions should be. The best introduction to the history of the Company of the Staple is to be found in Mr Malden's aforesaid introduction to The Cely Papers, which also contains a masterly account of the political relations of England, France and Burgundy during the period.
Then round to the house again, where the slant October sun shines in at the hospitable open door, where the little wheel burrs contentedly, and the loom goes flap-flap, as the strong arm of Cely Temple presses the cloth together, and throws the shuttle past, like lightning: stout cloth for choppers and ploughmen comes out of that loom!

"He'll look out well for Number One, anyhow!" said Cely, lifting the lid of the Dutch-oven from the fire. Dorcas shot an angry glance at the apple-sauce.
Like Chaucer's merchant, He wolde the see were kept for any thing Betwixe Middelburgh and Orewelle. Side by side with George or Richard Cely he must often have strained his eyes from the quay, with the salt wind blowing out the feather in his cap, and breathed a thanksgiving to God when the ships hove in sight.
But it wasn't Cely, nor yet Dinah. At the sound of his voice the woman's whole expression changed. Her quick eyes fell back into a look of dreamy inquiry and softness. She dropped her pails to the ground, and stood, fenced in by the hoop, like a statue of bewilderment, if such a statue could be carved.
Fox looked up quickly at her daughter, but Dorcas continued quietly stirring, and without turning round. "Mahala Dorr, I guess," said she. "Wall, M'hala'll be, an' so'll others," answered Cely, prudently. "But I expect likely Swan'll do well, ef he don't die. They say the atemuspere is pison there! especially for dark-complected folks."
