To the third and 4th articles of the sayd libell hee saith that in or about the

wares and Merchandizes amounting to the value of two hundred forty pounds
three shillings eight pence sterling which were to be sent, and were sent to Virginia
and laded on board the arlate shipp the Phenix (whereof the arlate ffrancis
Steward was Master) and consigned to be delivered at Virginia to the sayd George
Abbott And alsoe this deponents sayd Master Mr Wingfeild as by his booke appeareth to this deponent paid more for the use of the sayd George Abbott nyne pounds sterling And hee saith hee beleeveth that there was a Contract and agreement made
betweene the sayd Wingfeild and Abbott that hee the sayd Abbott should send
to him the sayd Wingfeild from Virginia the full value of the sayd goods
and the profitt there made of them and he sayd nyne pounds and the profitt thereof in Virginia Tobaccoes for that hee hath seeme
letters of advise from the sayd George Abbott sent to the sayd Wingfeild
wherein hee acknowledged the receipt of the sayd goods and alsoe that hee was
