New England, and thense back to the Barbadoes and from thense to Virginia and in her course from Barbadoes to Virginia hee saith shee mett
with extraordinary stormy weather, and by force thereof lost her foremast
fore top mast, sayles, yards and all her rigging saveing her foreyarde and
foresayle and was thereby damnified in her hull and [?XXXX] her forecastle [?XXX] both [?alofte] and belowe (by helpe of which foreyarde and foresayle with much difficulty shee gott to Virginia)

sixe hundred and fifty sixe, during which tyme the sayd Jeggles of this deponents
knowledge did doe his utmost to fitt and furnish the sayd shipp to goe thense
for the Barbadoes againe, but Virginia being a place that will not
afford sayles and rigging for a shipp to make her in fitt capacity to goe
thense to the Barbadoes, the sayd Jeggles was forced to make
shifte with that fore yarde and fore sayle and the helpe of a topp sayle which
hee caused to be made of an old sayle which was on board the sayd
shipp to come for England with such ladeing as hee could procure at
Virginia which was only a smale quantie of hogsheads
of tobaccoe taken at freight for severall planters at Virginia, and
some few hogsheads more for other persons (but for whome hee knoweth not)
which was all the sayd Jeggles could gett by reason there were
many shipps then in Virginia and that they had gotten what other

Virginia who laded some hogsheads of tobacco aboard the sayd
shipp Anne sayd in presence of this deponent and others of the Company of the Anne that hee and the other planters who laded tobacco
on board her did condition with the sayd Jeggles to have the same transported for Ireland,
and that the said Jeggles should then staye with the sayd shipp five
dayes to make sale thereof, and in case it could not bee there sold, then
to transporte it thence to England, and that they would not have
laden the same on board the sayd shipp but upon these conditions
And further hee cannot depose./

To the 14th hee saith that of hee this deponents sight and knowledge, the sayd Jeggles
did not, either at Virginia or any other Port or place, neglect any tyme
but did his best endeavour for the benefitt and advantage of the said
articulate James and Edmund Cowse soe farr as hee this deponent could and
did observe And further hee cannot depose/
