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.
