To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then, by Coelho's advice, he despatched a messenger to the officer who presided over the port of Canton, stating his desire to be allowed to trade in the harbour, and to send an ambassador from his master the King of Portugal with a view to conclude peace and alliance with the emperor. A friendly answer was received, implying, however, that the determination on these proposals must rest with the Pio, or high-admiral, who resided at Nanto (Nan-ciam), and had the su- preme direction of all mariti...me affairs on this coast.
This officer, upon being referred to, sent also a very courteous reply, but stated that nothing could be decided until after consultation with the three go- vernors of the city. Andrade, finding that these references caused intolerable delay, resolved forth- with to enter the port at all hazards. He put his flotilla in motion for this purpose, but encountered a violent storm, which at once defeated his intention and severely shattered his vessels. The Chinese were suspected of viewing this disaster with no small satisfaction, in the hope that the Portuguese, being obliged to remain through* the winter, would be com- pelled to treat with them on their own terms.
