the shipp that hee would give order that the Company might bring
up such corne as was well to be dryed upon the hatches and seperated

nights and dayes on shoare during the voyage arlate, and was one
of those who would not be nor was interested with his ordinary
allowance in matters of dyet and refused to goe the voyage from
Zant to Cassandra, and this deponent beleeveth that hee was not
a sufficient and able Cooke for that
hee observed hee could not dress a dish off minced meate or
doe any thing that was extraordinary without this deponents direction
or assistance And as to the sayd Richard Brookes hee saith
