Transcription

taking of the said shipp "Frederick" and her said lading was as
following to witt, the said shipp "Frederick" having waighed [Anchors]
and sett saile out of the said roade, the said Dutch shipps did also
waigh their anchors and sett sayle, and that [?spurt] of the Dutch shipps Commander told the saide Captaine Stanton
and Companie, that they must goe up to their Admirall, or that he
must goe on board their Admirall, wherupon the said Captaine [did]
in his said shipp come up with the said Dutch Admirall, [who called]
unto him to come on board his Admirall shipp, which the said Captaine
said he could not doe; then the said Dutch Admirall or Commander
saied he would presently be on board him, wherupon the said Dutch
Admirall and fleet fired at least 20 or 30 peece of Ordinance
with shott at the said shipp "Frederick", and then the Dutch shipp
called the "[Cecroonde Liefoe]" or "[Leevn]" and presently after the said Admirall
shipp called the "Avenhoorn" layd the shipp "Frederick" on board
and forcibly with great number of armed men entered the same and
cutting downe her great yards and sailes from the yards, and so
tooke possession of her, and tore downe the flagg of the English [?nation]
which was at the maine topp mast head, all which the said Dutch
seizure did so perpetrate and doe about fower miles from Bantam
in the sight of them of that Citie, and of divers Bantamers then
being neere unto them in their boates and prowes, which great
affront and indignity, this deponent conceiveth and verily beleeved was in such manner [acted]
on set purpose by the said Dutch seizure to render the English
disesteemed by the Bantamers and other Indians trading there, and
spectators of the said Transactions, and thereby to ingrosse the trade
of that place unto themselves. Moreover the deponent saieth, That the
said Dutch [seizorers] or Souldjers and Mariners having so ignominiously [torn]
downe the said English flagg fell to tearing it in pieces, which Captaine
Stanton perceiving called to the Dutch Commandor de Keyser, [telling]
him it was no private flagg but the flagg of the English Nation
and therefore he or the said Dutch must expect to render a good [X]
of so great an affront, whereupon the said commander ordered the said
flagg to be delivered to the said Captaine Stanton with liberty to [put]
up again if he pleased, but the said Captaine Stanon replied that
he hoped not to live that day that the flagg of his nation should be
so disgracefully come downe by the Dutch, and afterwards to be
worne by their permission or to that effect, and did thereupon
publiquely throw the said flagg into the sea. This deponent further
more saieth, That shortly after the said seizure, the said Dutch
Admirall and Commanders did in this deponents sight cause the said
shipp the "Frederick" to be fastned with a great iron Chaine [unto]
the said Dutch Admirall shipp, and soe disgracefully [towed her]
for some small way towards Batavia in the sight of the said
