Transcription

And that from the time they came from haver de Grace, they were
soe farr from declining meeting with the English, or making or setting
up any more saile to that purpose, that they steered and held their
course with the said shipp for the coast of England, and most convenience
and safe for them (the winde and weather considered) to saile for
Cadiz, and this was (hee saith) true and notorious, which hee knoweth
being steersman of the said shipp as aforesaid and having longe used sea faring
and thereby well knowing the premisses. And otherwise hee cannot depose

Upon the rest not examined by direction of the producent.

twelve feathers for hatts at 10 stivers a peece, and 5 dozen of [?poinmt?s]
at 5 stivers the dozen: the restitution whereof hee saith he cannot

To the third articel of the said allegation hee saith and deposeth

observed and heard it commonly said by the mariners of the shipp
that shee steered right for the Ile of Wight as most
convenient for her course for Cadiz, the winde then considered
which to his remembrance was at North East and by North or
thereabouts, and did not use any endeavour to avoide the English
which hee knoweth being one of her company and then aboard her. And
otherwise hee cannot depose.
