jus

Peter de Bert of London Merchant aged twenty
five yeares of therabouts a wittnesse sworne and examined
saith and deposeth as followeth videlicet./

To the first article of the sayd allegation hee saith saving his subsequent
depositions hee cannot depose thereto./

To the 2 and third articles saving his subsequent deposition hee cannot
depose./

To the 4th article of the sayd allegation hee saith that hee this deponent
being the arlate Peter de Bart with the arlate John de Thieulieur and
one William ffownes Marchants of London did all shipp themselves
in a dutch shipp (whereof one Souldate was Master) belonging
to the port of Rotterdam in holland and (by common repute) to dutch
men subiects of the states of the united Provinces, and shipped them
selves to goe in her from fflushing in Zealand to Roane in
ffrance, And saith that in the month of september one thousand six hundred
fifty sixe the sayd dutch shipp being in her course for ffrance betweene
Callice and Bulloigne did meete with a Man of Warr belonging to
Ostend, and the Master of the sayd dutch shipp having espied the
sayd mann of warr did declare to this deponent and the sayd Thieulieur
and others on board him that hee much doubted that the say mann of
warr would come on board of his shipp and search his shipp and
take away such things as they pleased notwithstanding the league
made between the King of Spaine and the Lords of the United Provinces
and sayd it was a usuall thinge for men of warr belonging to
the king of Spaine or his subjects soe to doe notwithstanding the sayd
league or words to that effect and therefore to prevent as much as might bee any plunder
the sayd Master hidd his money in his stockings, and this
deponent alsoe hidd what money hee had the most of it being Gold in Cranyes or chinkes in
the Cabbin and kept only one dollar or two about him, that soe if they
did search him hee might escape beateing by them, if being (as the
sayd dutch shipps company sayd) a usuall thinge with them when they
found noe money about a man to beate and abuse him, And this deponent
hidd his Cloake bagg or Portmantua in the holde of the shipp and the rest
of the company on board hidd such thinges as they had and were portable
out of the way as much as they could, and some of the shipps Company
the better to prevent their best cloathes from being taken, did putt them upon their
backs
