coming in the manner aforesaid with all his sailes full and
the boate towing of her, striving to get before, the John (sic)
came with her bowe onboard the Johns Larboard
side, and tooke away the wind from her, and the Mary Roses

her Company were forced to cut the Laniards of their
Shrouds by which meanes the John was put by her [?XXXX]
