to this deponent and to his disposall as a free guift from the Laders and
freighters of the sayd goods (over and above the freight due to the Owners of
the sayd shipp) to oblige and encourage this deponent and Company to fight the dutch or any
other Enimies of the Portugueses who should assaile them in the sayd voyage
and to doe their utmost endeavour to preserve their goods by their care
in well stowing and otherwise and the saith the same Averidge did not

freight due to the Owners of the shipps) have endeavoured to compound
with the Masters of the sayd shipps before their setting out upon the sayd voyage
to have a proportion of the average allowed to them and that the masters
refuseing soe to doe, the sayd Owners have refused to lett their shipps proceede
on the sayd voyage And further to this article hee cannot depose/

To the 5th article of the sayd allegation hee saith that hee this deponent
(being the arlate Captaine John Wills) and the arlate Edward Wye
Master of the Saphir arlate were imployed and did goe with their shipps
to Brazeele in company of each other the tyme aforesayd and upon the
like termes of Averees as this deponent did and this deponents
and the sayd Edward Wye were by their Charterparties to have

their Charterparties belong to them and was to bee disposed by them to the
use of them selves and their companyes and that noe part thereof did
