went aboard the Admirall with purpose (as hee declared before this
deponent and others after hee came againe from aboard the Admirall
to his owne Shipp the Olive Branch) to get leave for the Olive Branch
to passe into Bantam Roade to take in her ladeing and earnestly
pressed him (as hee sayd) to permitt him soe to doe, and gave him
some presents thereby to induce him to get leave which notwith=
standing the sayd dutch Admirall (as the sayd Brampton affirmed
after hee came back aboard the Olive Branch) refused utterly to do[?e]
and sayd flattly that the sayd shipp should not passe into Bantam
whereupon the sayd Brampton seeing hee could not prevaile with the
Admirall to get leave to goe into Bantam with his says hipp
the Olive Branch sett sayle with her for Battavia a place in the
East Indies under command of the hollanders and where the

wanted only a smale part of her ladeing , to goe in to Bantam there
to take it in and that the Generall utterly refused to grannt any
such leave and sayd neither shee nor any other English shipp
should goe into Bantam, by which words of the sayd Skinner the
Master and company of the Olive Branch perceiving that there was little
good to be done by staying at Battavia went thence againe toward
Bantam with intente to get in thither if they could but at this
coming neere Bantam the foresayd dutch shipps having espied
her and the Endimion who was alsoe in company with
hee weighed Anchor and came up to them and anchored about
them and told the Masters of the Olive Branch and Endimion that
they must not nor should goe into Bantam and thereupon the
Olive Branch and Endimion did not nor could goe into Bantam
This hee knoweth being Purser of the Olive Branch and an Eye and Eare wittnesse of
the premisses And further hee cannot depose./
