To the 7th and 8th Interrogatories hee saith that after the words predeposed had
passed betwixt the sayd Gosling and damerell in manner predeposed the sayd
damerell being provoked by the sayd Goslings ill words and by him telling him
hee was a pimpeing foole and knave and might go a pimpeing or a pandering
when he came home if hee did not make a good voyage and that he scorned
to bee commanded by such a pimpeing foole as hee the said damerell or words to that
effect, did thereupon tell the sayd Gosling that hee the sayd Gosling was a foole,
and a Jackanapes to abuse him the sayd damerell wiith such language, and that hee
the sayd damerell looked upon the sayd Gosling in respect of his skill in Navigation
noe otherwise then hee looked upon the worst log in the shipp or words to that
effect, and further saving his foregoeing deposition to the libell hee cannot
answer./

To the 9th interrogatorrie hee saith he never knew the Interrogate Pybes Welch
Child and Golding till the voyage in question nor was ever at Greeneland
till then, and therefore knoweth not what to depose touching the sayd Pybus Welch
Child and Goulding their experience in the Greeneland ffishing, And further
cannot answer having not heard anything to the effect Interrogate./
To the 10th hee saith that after the sayd damerell had caused his Companyes
of the Owners Adventure and Greyhound to worke seven or eight myles further
than the other shipps of Pybus Welch Goulding and Child did, hee wrought out
to sea againe as is predeposed, and did not loose their Company till hee was
parted from them by foggie and stormie weather and having lost their company and also the company of the Greyhound
by the sayd stormie and foggie weather the sayd shipp Owners Adventure and Company
came neere the edge of the ice as aforesayd and (according to this deponents judgement) within about sixe or eight
leagues of shoare, and the Ice was then probable (in this depondents judgement) to bee
passed and to gett to shoare whereupon hee the sayd Master commanded to worke the sayd
shipp Owners Adventure toward shoare, whereto the sayd Maundrey being
unwilling replyed openly upon the deck of the Owners Adventure in presence of
this deponent and others of the sayd Shipps Company and sayd as is predeposed
or to the like effect that videlicet I would they were hanged that layes their hand to a
roape to worke in, and I will be hanged drawne and quartered if any shipp
gett into harbour in Greeneland this yeare, I would I were aboard of my
brothers shipp or some dutch shipp, by which meanes the sayd Company did
not worke in any further toward shoare as the sayd Damerell Commanded, but
put out to sea againe and recovered the Company of the Greyhound and of some
dutch shipps, and the sayd Damerell did goe on board the sayd dutch
shipps And saith the fower London shipps aforesayd did (as he heard
and believeth) after they had left the company of the Owners Adventure by stormie
and foggie weather as aforesayd) gett into harbour and kill whales, and
make a considerable voyage, And believeth that if the sayd ffogg and
storme had not parted the sayd shipps Owners Adventure and Greyhound
from the sayd fower shipps but that they had kept with them they might have
gott to harbour and made a good voyage as well as the sayd fower shipps,
And further saving his foregoeing deposition hee cannot depose/
