Morning star or golden starr why he would fight with
the Parliament shipps upon the English Coast, he the sayd Lubkin
did not then pretend himselfe ignorant with whose shipps he fought but replyed
and sayd that in case this deponent had not come in he would never have
submitted to the Advantage, and moreover then sayd that if this
deponent had continued the fight broadside and boardside and had
not fallen upon him and boarded him by maine forece he would have
fought it out to the last and would have rather sunke by this deponents
