Transcription

whereupon the said dutch Captaine replied and said that the
said ship the Olive branch might not go into Bantam, for they
(speaking of his and the said other dutch shipps and Captaines)
lay there purposely to hinder and obstruct all English shipps
from going into or trading at Bantam, or with the Inhabitants
thereof, or there passed words betwixt them to the same effect
and the said dutch Captaine then and there commanded the said
master of the Olive branch to beare up and come to or by his
admiral, which hee saith was accordingly donne, the premises
hee deposeth of his owne sight and hearing, being as aforesaid
masters mate of the said vessel the Olive branch, And further to
this article hee deposeth not.

To the fifth hee saith that the said ship the Olive branch
being soe brought and coming to an anchor neere the said Admirall
of the said dutch shipps, the said John Brampton her master went
aboard the said Admirall with purpose (as hee declared) to get leave
of him to geo into Bantam and take in his lading, and carried
a present, to bestow on him for
better to induce him to give leave for the said shipps going in, bu
upon his retourne hee declared that the said Admirall would by
noe meanes give leave, but expressely forbad her going in
although hee had acquainted him with her coming from London
and her being bound to goe in to receive her lading there. And
further hee cannot depose.

To the sixth article hee saith thatupon the said prohibition
of the said dutch Admirall, the said Captaine Brampton and
company set saile with the Olive branch for Battavia the
place of the dutch Generalls residence, purposing to acquaint
mr Frederick Skinner the English agent, (who was gone
thither before) with their being soe stopt from going to Bantam
and to use his mediation with the Generall for their going?s in, but
upon the said shipps arrival at Battavia, they met the said mr Skinner
coming from the said Generall, who (after the said Brampton had
acquainted him with the cause of his coming thither as aforesaid) told
him that hee came then from the Generall, with whom hee had bin
to get permission for the ship the Endimion which wanted only some
small quantities of her lading to goe into Bantam for the same, but
that the said Generall would not give leave, but had expressely forbidden
the going in either of the Endimion or any other English shipps whatsoever
whereupon they set saile againe for the roade of Bantam,
intending to trie againe if they could get in, but the said
dutch shipps there lying espying her, [?XXXX]ed and ?towed
their shipps neere her and anchored round about her, and
told her master flatly that shee should not goe in, and
that if hee made any more endeavour to get in, they would
??smite his ship or to that effect, and and soe shee was utterly
disappointed and hindered from goin in, all which hee knoweth for
the reasons aforesaid. and further deposeth not.
