This is what I have deducted. Every time you hear English it’s actually Portuguese, except I guess when Blackthorne is speaking to his men?
Blackthorne was the English pilot of a Dutch ship so when he is speaking to "his" men (they weren't his men really), he would have been speaking Dutch. The show has the Europeans speak English so that the viewer is not reading subtitles the entire time. I don't think the book had English being used by anyone.

I can’t recall if any of the higher ranking Portuguese priests could speak English or not but it’s use was super rare.
