And hee further saith that for the preservation of the said shipp and goods
from being taken by the dutch or ffrench, this deponent procured a
passe (prof forma) from Skedam in holland as if the said vessell were
belonging to that place, and for noe other reason did hee procure or
furnish the master with the said passe, for the said shipp and goodss
in truth and realitie were and are belonging to the said Colonel
Samuel Atkins, a subiect of this Commonwealth and otherwise
hee cannot depose.
