Transcription

hath had much familiaritie and conversation with her dutch company, and
bin privie to much of their discourse, and saith that in an evening about the
beginning of September last, this deponent being in the longe boate of the
said shipp going aboard from another shipp lying there by in company of
the Stiersman, and two or three others of the company of the
Crosse of Jerusalem, heard them murmurr and complaine that the Skipper
of the said shipp the Crosse of Jerusalem did not pay them their wages,
and in such complainte the Skeeman said, (speaking to the Stiersman) to
this effect, If the Skipper will doe mee right (speaking of paying
him his wages) I will not betray him, but otherwise - and there the
Stiersman interrupted him and said, Peace, the man (speaking
of this deponent) understandeth, and soe hee proceeded noe further. And
this deponent in the time of such his waiting aboard the said shipp
hath often heard severall of her company enveigh and raile against
their Gunner, calling him (in their language) rogue, dogge and
many other reprochfull termes, and threaten that
if ever hee came into holland hee should be hanged; and this deponent
perceived and understood by their discourse that such their displeasure
and threats proceeded from them because the said Gunner had made
some discovery and deposition touching the said shipp and lading
tending to the advantage of this Commonwealth. And otherwise hee
cannot depose.

Upon the rest not examined by direction.

Repeated before doctor Godolphin.

To the 17th and eighteenth articles hee saith and deposeth that from the
