many protestations that the goods and lading by him meant and
spoken of for this deponents freight were all for hamburgers accompts
and belonging to such hamburgers as lived in and were freemen of the
said citie of hamburough, and that hee was as cautious to lade in a free
shipp, as this deponent was of free goods, and would be sure that there
should noe other goods be laden but such as belonged to hamburgers of [?hamburg]

least the lading might be endangered, and upon those conditions and
assurances this deponent undertooke the said freight and received the
said goods aboard, being the same nowe seized, which goods hee saith
