as prize from certayne dutch men, and intended to carry her and her
lading to London there to be tryed whether shee were prize or noe, and hee beleeveth
the reason of his soe putting into Yarmouth Roade was for that hee was not willing
nor thought it fitt to venter him selfe and the sayd shipp to London without a
Pilot, and saith that thereupon the sayd Tresaure did cast Anchor with the sayd
Shipp dope in Yarmouth Roade and sent the arlate Tobias Barnes one

on board the sayd shipp dope in the Roade of Yarmouth and this deponent knoweth
that only the sayd Barnes came on shoare at Yarmouth for that the sayd Barnes
was brought ashoare by the fferryboate of Yarmouth by reason neither
the shipp dope nor the shipp the Venter had then any boate belonging to them, and this
deponent returned aboard the dope with the sayd Barnes only, in the sayd fferry
boate, and knoweth that noe other of the Company of the sayd shipps dope and Venter
did afterwards come on board them, but they were all on board the sayd Shippps
togeather with a dutch man the master (as was sayd) of the Dope And further
saving his subsequent deposition hee cannot depose./

being the arlate david Cant having for these five or sixe and twenty yeares
last past constantly sayled up and downe betweene London and Yarmouth and
other places thereabouts, is very well acquainted and experienced in that
passage and hath within the sayd tyme piloted many shipps from Yarmouth
to London and brought them thither in safety And further to this article
hee cannot depose./

To the 8th article hee saith that hee this deponent (being the arlate
David Cant) at the tyme of his coming on board the shipp dope arlate
did not knowe nor heare any publique report or speech in Yarmouth that the
peace betwixt England and holland was concluded neither did he saye anything
to that effect then to the arlate John Tresaure or any of his Company nor saye
