become due to him And further hee cannot answere./

To the 4th hee saith as before hee hath declared, wages is due, over and beside
the Averidge aforesayd and that hee did receive wages for the voyage,
beside the Averidge hee is to receive for the same, and hee never knew or
heard of any Master and Company that went that voyage upon other conditions or

for the voyage aforesayd which this deponent went to Brazeele, but there was
noe composition made, and this deponent being forced away from Lisbone by
the meanes aforesayd the Average or soe much of the same as was payd by the laders remaynes as aforesayd in the hands
of the sayd Bushell and as not yet payd to this deponent And saith

the Charterparties for such voyages are made or give order to others to see that the
freight bee expressed therein according as in such voyages is requisite
soe that the Masters cannot have any any (sic) greater avarage then what
is usually paid in such voyages, which average hee verily beleeveth
