with his freighters for that voyage hee acquainted his shipps company
therewith who were most of them unwilling to goe the same they not
being hyred as they sayd to goe any such voyage when they came from London as

them for when hee shipped hence them at London, and to pay them their wages
then due till that tyme according to the rates agreed upon with them
at London which offer hee saith the Company accepted And the sayd

sayd Company eight months pay according to the first agreement
made at London and did promise and agree for the future to pay them
an addition or augmentation of wages after the rate of five shillings
in the pounds over and above the valew formerly agreed upon at London
which promise the Company accepted and thereupon proceeded upon the
sayd voyage to Brazeele and the sayd ffosse Tucker howgate and this deponent
and the rest of the Shipps company did thereupon proceed upon the sayd
voyage after the sayd new agreement and went and served in the sayd shipp to
Brazeele and came back to Lisbon which they soe performed in

and made in that tyme discharge of their ladeing at Brazeele and alsoe
at Lisbone after their returne thither, only hee saith that while the sayd shipp
was at Brazeele the Portugueses in whose service shee was did for the
