affaire, and the said Miranda his being soe imployed by mr ffernandez.

To the 6th hee saith that the said John Lopez de Miranda departed with
the said shipp and goods from this port for the Canaries this deponent
seeing him take his leave of mr ffernandez and other friends upon such
his departure. And afterwards the said Lopez de Miranda (as this deponent
saw by letters that came from him) arrived with the said shipp and goods at
Teneriff, and there as factor aforesaid delivered and disposed of the said
goods for the account aforesaid. And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the seventh article hee saith and deposeth that the said mr ffernandez
and the arlate Robert hunter and other owners of the said shipp contrived
and agreed together for the better securitie of her and her trade at the
Canaries (in regard of the warrs between England and Spaine), to send
a dutchman, a subiect of the States of the United Netherlands, along
in her as master or one of the masters of her and did pitch
and agree upon the arlate John danielson being a dutchman and
Subiect of the said States, to be the man to goe in that qualitie
and sent him accordingly along hence in the said ship to the end hee
should (and soe he had directions) give out at the Canaries that the said
ship and lading were belonging to dutch, subiects of the said States,
and soe colour the matter, that they might not be found to be English
or belonging to any subiects of this Commonwealth, which hee
knoweth being acquainted with such contrivance of sending the said
danielson to that end, and hearing the said mr ffernandez and hunter and
others confer and agree thereaboute. And saith the bills of lading for
the said mr ffernandez his goods laden at Teneriff, were as hee beleeveth
signed by the said danielson, one of them coming home in mr ffernandez
letter under the name of the said danielson as master. And otherwise hee
cannot depose, for hee this deponent was not at Teneriff the said
voyage

To the eighth hee saith the said ship went out by the name of
Irish merchant (by which shee was commonly called) and of the dolphin
under which name of the dolphin shee was to passe as a dutch ship at the
Canaries and saith shee was and is one and the same ship under both
these names. And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the nineth article he saith that tenth, 11th, 12th and 13th articles and
the schedules annexed and therein mentioned nowe showed unto him, hee saith

Baillehache his the said Miranda his servant appeared, and
saith the letter dated the 4th of June 1656, and the bill of lading
dated 3 of June 1656, were and are the same letter and bill of lading soe sent
the said Miranda, and received by the said mr ffernandez by the
hands
