expecting and taking in her ladinge of currance, shee departed
thence about eight weekes since in company of the shipp the
Welfare of Plimouth whereof his precontest William
Sowden was and still is master, both bound for this port of London
to dischardge; and saith that in their course of proceedinge from
Zant for this port, comming about fourtie leagues off the
shore of Portugall, the said shipp the Expedition was
met with set upon at sea and assaulted by an enemie
a man of warr carrying the hollands colours, which endeavoured
by fight to take the Expedition, who made stout defence and
resistance with the aide of the Welfare, and saith the said
man of warr twice or thrice boarded the Expedition, yet with
her owne resistance and the welfares plying the man of
warr with frequent shott and broad sides, the said man of warr
was beaten off againe, but at length the Expedition being
extreamely battred and torne, sanck downe with her ladinge

was alsoe very much battered, and as this deponent beleeveth
afterwards perished by sinking, but this deponent could not see
what became of her by reason of the night which was come on
and was darke. and saith the said fight and sinking of the
said shipp Expedition and lading happened about eight and
