To the tenth hee saith that seeing a vessell (that afterwards
proved to be the maidstone frigot) stand with the Nicholas, and
not knowing what shee was, the Captaine and company of the
Nicholas opened their ports and fitted their guns to stand upon
their defence, not knowing but the said vessell might be
a turke, but when they perceived her to be an English frigot
they neither endeavoured or [?intended] any resistance, and
saith hee did not heare any such answer as is interrogated
made upon the haling of the said shipp Nicholas, and
