of this Commonwealth. And the sayd Captaine of the Advantage required the Master
and Company of the Golden Starr in the name of the Parliament of England

that purpose, being an usuall and accumstomed acknowledgement due upon those
Seas especially in tymes of warr to all shipps of this Commonwealth that
are for the defence thereof sett forth to sea, and imployed by the Supreme
Authority of this Nation. And otherwise he cannot depose.

or made any broadside against the Golden Starr, the sayd Advantage frigot
had upp aand did weare the Colors of this Commonwealth so that they of the
Company of the Golden Starr and Master thereof might well see and perceyve
