2. Company of the Mary seeing how the ffreeman came did
3. call to her Company ˹to edge asterne˺ and did bi endeavour in all they
4. could to avoyde the ffreeman, and therfore left all the
5. channell to the ffreeman, and the Mary steerd upon the
6. South Shore as neare to the shore as possibly with safety
7. they could, soe that there was roome enough not onely
8. for the freeman but other shipps to have gone by the
9. Mary in brest and not have hurt or dammaged the
10. Mary, And he saith that notwithstanding all meanes
11. possible were used by the Marys Company to have avoyded
12. the ffreeman, yet the freeman's Company edged their

18. and rigging by the boord, and the stemm of the ffreeman
19. ranne into the side of the Mary and brake her downe by

26. dammage her, and he saith that it was meer willfullnes
27. and obstinatenes in the ffreemans Company in soe running
28. upon the Mary, for the ffreeman might easily have
29. helped it, if she would, and that there were many spectators

37. arlate Peter Whitty give order to the ffreemans Company
38. to cutt the Mary's shrouds and foresaile, saying hee
39. would beare them out in it, and that the sayd Whitty
40. did call the Marys Company Collerly doggs, and say that
41. he had not cared if he the sayd Whitty had sunck the
42. said vessell the Mary, if he could have saved the
43. mens lives, and that the Company of the ffreeman
44. did according to the sayd Whittys order cutt the shrowds
45. and sayles of the Mary; And further he cannot
46. depose.
