and family in Lubeck from the yeare 1647. interrate till the time of his death./

To the 7th hee saith this rendent was as aforesaid, at Amsterdam about

constantly beleeveth, and saith the said ship made one voyage from Spaine
to Amsterdam, but in what yeare this deponent remembreth not, And saith hee
never heard that the said ship Sampson ever returned to Lubeck since her first
departure thence as aforesaid. And further cannot depose/:-

To the 9th hee saith hee beleeveth a Trumpetter may become an Officer or common
