shipp gunnes and powder which the sayd dutch skipper there sold to the Spaniards)
were all laden by Spaniards and that hee the
sayd Johnson was obliged to transporte them and did intende to transport
all the ladeing of the sayd shipp to Cadiz where the same was all to
be delivered And further to this article hee cannot depose/
To the 4th 5th 6th 7th and 8th articles of the sayd allegation hee saith that while
hee this deponent remayned as aforesayd at Saint domingo
hee this deponent having procured
his liberty did treate with the sayd Claes Johnson to have his passage in
the sayd shipp the Nicholas for Cales, that thence hee might with the better
Convenience get to his this deponents native Country of England and
the sayd Claes did promise this deponent that hee should have his passage
in her thither, but afterwards denyed this deponent passage in her unlesse
hee this deponent could procure ffifty peeces of eight to pay for his passage
and thereupon told this deponent that hee the sayd Claes was a
poore man by reason hee could not have his due from the Spaniards
and that hee had nothing to doe with the sayd shipp the Nicholas but that
shee belonged to Cales and subiects of the Kinge of Spaine there and
that hee had nothing in her but the hydes aforesayd, and that hee feared
when hee came to Cales (if the King of Spaine did not make him
satisfaction for two shipps which were taken from him by the Spaniards
at Saint domingo and sunke by them in the river there to
prevent the English ffleete under Command of Generall Penn from
getting in there hee was soe poore that hee feared hee should
be put in prison at Cales for want of money to satisfie his Company
their wages and to satisfie the Owners of the sayd shipp for what
was due to them from him And the sayd Claes alsoe told this deponent
that hee and his brother the arlate Barnard Johnson had both served
the Spaniard and that with two shipps whereof they were Commanders
they assisted the King of Spaine in takeing the Island of Terludos
and this deponent saith hee at his being at Saint domingo found
there severall English and ffrench who were there in great misery
and were brought prisoners from the Ter?tudos upon the takeing of
the sayd Island as aforesayd And saith the sayd Claes alsoe professed to this
deponent that hee was a great Enimie to the English and especially
to the Protector thereof who hee sayd was a traytor and that hee
the sayd Claes would freely and willingly doe his uttmost endeavour
to assiste Charles Steward (as hee called him) Kinge of England,
against the sayd Pretender and those which ruled the Commonwealth
of England and that hee was resolved to fight against the English soe longe as his shipp would seimme or words to that effect and told this deponent that
for that hee had formerly declared soe much to this deponent and
for that hee feared this deponent would discover the same therefore
hee would not afford this deponent passage in the sayd shipp for
Cadiz as hee hath promised him and did refuse to lett this deponent goe a passenger
in her although this deponent procured fiftie peeces of eight
which was the summe formerly required by the sayd Claes Johnson
