they have bin and are commonly accompted and reputed. And further saith
that in the moneth of September last (old stile) the said producents sent out
and imployed the said shipp the ffortune from the port of Middleborowe
for Virginia on a trading voyage for their use and accompt, and thence
to retourne againe for Middleborowe, and saith that the said shipp carried
in her outwards to Virginia a cargazon of goods to be there disposed of
and the retournes thereof to be thence brought in tobaccoes to Middleborowe,
All which hee saith hee knoweth to be true because hee went out marchant
or supra caro in the said shipp the said voyage from Middleborowe in the

whole designe of the said shipps voyage. And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the third and fourth articles hee saith and deposeth that the said shipp the

in as fast as shee could conveniently her homewards lading, and saith at
the said time there was there noe newes or speech at all that the Parliament
of England had forbidden or prohibited trade or commerce with the
Inhabitants of Virginia either by act or otherwise, which hee knoweth

otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the fifth article of the said allegation hee saith and deposeth that the said
shipp the ffortune after her arivall at Virginia did take in and [?procure GUTTER]

forbidden traffique in those parts or sett out an Act against it till after
such time as all their tobaccoes and goods were made ready, and provided, and
till after all their traffique and marchandizing was fully finished, and that
the master and company were fitting and preparing the said shipp with
necessaries and were taking in their water and provisions for her homewards
voyage. And that then and not before, videlicet on or ne[?e]re about the
