To the fourteenth article of the said allegation hee saitH and deposeth
that the said shipp the Crosse of Jerusalem when this deponent came To her as
aforesaid to Saint Mallo's was there in repairing and saith shee continued a good space
under repaire, after this deponents coming thither, and that there was
much cost bestowed upon such her repairing, amounting as hee beleeveth
to a thousand Pistolls, and saith that the said Monsieur Philladieu
defrayed the said charges, and that one Monsieur Gimber as the accomptant
or Booke-keeper was hee through whose hands the said chardges passed. but
on whose accomptant (sic) or cost the said moneys were expended, hee saith hee
knoweth not. And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the fifteenth hee saith that the provisions for the said shipp for this
voyage were bought, provided and supplied by the said monsieur fiiladieu
and monsieur Gimber, and by them the said shipp was fited out to sea,
and otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the sixteenth hee referreth himselfe to his foregoeing deposition and cannot
otherwise depose

To the seaventeenth and 18 hee saith that after the seizure of the said shipp and
her bringing up to Plimouth, hee this deponent and two others
of the said shipps company were brought ashore to be examined, and
were caried into the Armes of hamborough a victualling house to
attend till the officers were readie, and that there the said Peter Martensen
the master meeting them spake to them and willed them upon their
examination to declare that the said shipp belonged to Amsterdam
and this deponent saying noe hee would not doe it, but doe it (quoth
the said Peter) and I will take it upon my selfe; but this deponent
still said now, you cannot answer for mee, nor I for you when wee
come before God, or to the same effect. And otherwise hee cannot depose.
saving that the said Skipper seeing that this deponent would not sweare
that the said shipp belonged to Amsterdam, fell to reviling and abusing him
calling him Skallam many times over with many other reproachfull
termes, and monsieur ffarseau the merchant alsoe abused him with
opprobious speeches; and the said Skipper going aboard told the
company that this deponent would betray the shipp and was a Skellam
and after this deponents examination some of the company upbraided
him with slanderous termes, and the Stiersman severall times persued him with
a naked knife to stabb him, and all this, because this deponent
would not sweare that the said shipp belonged to Amsterdam; and that
they threatened him that hee should be hanged, and much afflicted
and disquieted him with such their reproaches and abuses of him
when as hee hath not (as hee saith) spoken otherwise then the truth.
