Transcription

To the fourteenth article hee saith and deposeth that neither hee nor
his said brother neither in the Angell, Yellow Sun or Saint Nicholas foresaid
tooke or seized any English shipp or shipps, or English or dutch men
nor sent any such prisoners to Santa domingo, although at the time
when they were as aforesaid forced to Tertoudas, there were warrs
between England and holland, whereby they might lawfully have
taken English, but did not.

To the fifteenth hee saith that there were only in the Saint Nicholas
her owne twelve guns in her when shee went to Santa domingo and about a dozen muskets, and
powder and ball convenient for them for her service, and noe
other armes or amunition but what was for her owne necessary
use, nor any souldiers or other passengers but only the said
President and foure servants namely three men and a boy, a Holland
shipp that was freighted by the Spaniards which men from
Cadiz about a moneth before this deponents said departure then
with the Nicholas, which shipp the Mary carried good store
of amunition, and ordnance and three or foure hundred souldiers in
her from Cadiz for Santa domingo, and arived there with the same,
this deponent seeing the lading and imbarking thereof at Cadiz,
and upon his arivall at Santa domingo seeing the said Ordnance,
and amunition taking out of her, And at Santa domingo this
deponent and his said brother tooke and put into the Nicholas twelve
other guns, which were belonging to their said two former
shipps, which they did with the license of the Governour.

To the sixteenth hee saith that there were noe letters or
papers or writings whatsoever that were in the custody of this
deponent or of his said brother or any of their company, that were
torne, burnt, throwne over board or otherwise made away, but
were all delivered by this deponent over to Captaine Adams
his lieutenant who carried them aboard the Maidstone frigot
saving such of the shipps papers and dispatches as were in his
said brothers owne custodie, which his said brother himself
carried aboard the frigot to Captaine Adams upon the said
seizure, nor doth hee know of any papers whatsoever that were made away.

To the seaventeenth hee saith that the Castle of Santa domingo
is about an English mile distant from the place where the Saint Nicholas
came on and moored there, and the towne being betweene those
places, one in the castle cannot see a shipp lying where the Saint Nicholas
was, but may see them as they come in, for that they come neere
the Castle, and saith that about a fortnight after the said shipps arived
this deponent went to the Castle and saw the arlate Mr Aylet
prisoner therein; and afterwards saw him in the towne. And
otherwise hee cannot depose, saving that hee hath heard that some
English have said that if they could get that shipp and lading to be
condemned, they should have a good reward, but did not heare it
of the parties themselves.

To the last hee saith his foregoeing deposition is true.
