a head of the John. And by that time shee was gott into
the narrows (where the tyde runne strong against her)
the Mary Rose weighed Anchor to saile out of the said River
and having all her sailes full and her boate a head
towing of jer Imediately fetcht up the John and not att
all slackening saile did through the carelessenes and neglect of her Master and Company fall foule of the ship John, and tooke
away the winde from the John, and the Mary Roses Boltspritt
was foule in the Johhns shrowds, and being soe foule this
deponent sawe the said Mary Rose give the John a [?sheare] crosse
and by that meanes both of them were put ashore
and before they were ashore this deponent sawe that the John
had an Anchor downe but the Mary Rose being foule
of her dragged it home soe that it could not bring up the John
And saith that hee did not heare any words passe betweene
the Master or Companyes of either of the said ships, and therefore

the Mary Rose had slackened saile before shee soe
fell foule of the John the said ship John would in all
probability and as this Deponent judgeth and verily beleeveth have come away in safety and not have bin runne
ashore as shee was. And saith to his remembrance, and as hee

ship Agreement whereof hee was Master and cpming a sterne of
the said ships hee slackened saile, and when they were ashore
this deponent made what saile hee could to cleare and soe
left them on shore together, and therefore cannot further depose
to these articles, saving hee saith that some Masters of ship that came
after this deponent told him that the Mary Rose was gott off but
that the John could not get off, and that they feared shee would
be spoiled by reason shee lay on the Edge of the banke, and the
tyde fell away soe that shee lay on one side./
