To the 6 article hee saith that hee knoweth that before the Consent came
crosse the hawse of the Phenix the Phenix Anchors lay North and
south or neere thereabout and saith that if afterward they did lye one more Easterly and
the other more Westerly the same was occasioned by the Consents
comming fowle of the Phenix hawse, and thereby bringing
home the Phenix Anchors, which notwithstanding the Phenex
Anchors were in this deponents Judgment farther off from the
Consent than before, and out of all danger of doeing any
harme to the Consent if the Consent had moored againe in
the same place where shee was before shee soe brake her cable
And further hee deposeth not./

To the 7th and 8th articles hee saith that during the tyme the Consent ridd at
Anchor in manner aforesayd this deponent could an did see noe
more aboard her but one youth to looke to her, and hee this
deponent verily beleeveth that had shee had two or three men on board her
who had bin skillfull to vere and hale and looke after her as by the
custome of the sea all shipps rideing at Anchor in the River of
Thames (as hee hath credibly heard from auncient Mariners) ought to have thereby to prevent danger[?s] [XX] the dammahe
in question might have bin prevented And further hee deposeth not

To the 9th article hee saith hee knoweth that the consent at the tyme when
shee receaved the dammage in question was an old shipp and
had ridd there abouts severall moneths, and as hee beleeveth was
out of imployment And saith hee hath heard among seamen and
beleeveth that by Custome used amongst sea men tyme out
of mynde shipps who ride longe moored by their owne Cables
ought to have two or three at least able experienced men to bee a
board them to vere and hale to prevent dangers that may happen, and
ought not to lye without soe many aboard unlesse the shipp
ride at a chayne or lye hawled ashoare And further hee
cannot depose./

To the last videlicet the 10th article hee saith hee this deponent well
knoweth the place whether the arlate Swyer caused the sayd shipp
the Consent to be hawled unto, after shee
came fowle of the Anchor of the Phenix, and knoweth that
the same was and is a very incommodious place to hawle a shipp
into in the River of Thames and verily beleeveth and
is perswaded in his conscience that the sayd Swier by
causing her to be hawled into that place (shee being an old shipp) did
doe tenn tymes more dammage to her thereby then all the dammage shee receaved
by her setting upon the Phenix her Anchor, the place where hee hawled
her being a deepe hole against a steepe banke which occassioned much badd
damage, and would have endammaged a very strong shipp to be hawled [?to the GUTTER]
sayd place And saith that had the sayd Swier caused her to be hawled to
a neerer and convenient place as hee might have done her dammage had
not (in this deponents Judgment bin the tenth part soe great as it is And further
hee cannot depose./
