Rasse for the preservation of the lives of the said Tresaure, Pylott, and
Companie then aboard the said shipp the dope./

To the 12th hee saith, That from the time that the said man of warr the Venture
departed from Yarmouth upon the Voiage in Controversie till the said shipp dope was cast
away as aforesaid, shee was not in any Port or harbor except Yarmouth roade

perished at sea by reason of a very tempetuous wind and weather arising
shortly after the said shipps seizure, Which hee well knoweth for the
reasons aforesaid, And further cannot depose./
