Detention of his said shipp, which was accordingly sent on
board the said Dutch Commander and there duely interposed
as it was notorious and publiquely then knowne and reposed
in and on board the said shipp ffrederick, but in regard that he
this deponent did not signe or see the said Originall Protest, nor
was present at the transactions concerning the same, hee saith hee
cannot depose or declare whether the now produced writing [XipXXXX]
a Copy of such Protest, be a true Copie thereof or not. And
further to these Interrogatorie he saith he cannot answer.

To the 19th Interrogatorie hee saith, That upon the 20th day of
the said moneth of August 1657, the said Captaine Stanton
having formerly at sevall times declared publiquely to the said
Dutch Commander his resolution soe he doe did waigh anchor,
and having saluted the said Dutch fleet with the discharge
of the first peece of Ordnance without sharpe did sett sayle from amongst them
towards Bantam roade whereupon the said Dutch shipps
waighed their anchors also, and pursued him, and the said Admirall after some discourse had
then laid him on board, and so they continued fastned togeather
for about an hower (as this deponent now remembreth ye
time) in which time the said Captaine Stanton [?persisting] in his
Course and resolution for Bantam roade, the said Dutch
Admirall caused three peece of Ordnance laden with sharpe
or bullet to be discharged thereby to affright and keepe the said
Captaine and Companie from goeing into Bantam roade with the
said shipp Frederick, and in the interim or betweene the dischargeing of
the said three peeces the said Admirall did use diverse threatening
words to and against the said Captaine and Companie, more
particularly, That is they did not come to an [?anchor] immediately
they must expers his whole broad side of Ordnance to be poured
into the said shipp the Frederick or to that ot the like effect
whereupon the said Captaine Stanton replyed, that he was
in their power, and they might doe what the pleased, but for his [pt] he
might not and would not bring his said shipp ffrederick to an [?anchor]
for that he was bound by [CharterXXie] to the performance of his
intended Voyage for Bantam; or used epressions to that effect,
And further continued in his submission to have his said shipp
the ffrederick visited if the said Dutch Admirall and Commander
soe pleased, and that they might take notice of all the [aXnes] powder and
ammunition then on board the said shipp frederick, and that if as
his returne from Bantam they should find them diminished or
gone, that then they might be proceeded against in such manner as
[XustXre] and the articles of Peace concluded between England and
