3 Cause/
The waighte in his Majesty's sto … 3 Cause/
The waighte in his Majesty's storehouse at Debtford have<br />
continued many yeares to lighte aboute a pounde in a <br />
hundreth as the clerkes do counfelle, the losse whereof<br />
in 2761 tonne - 4 pounds - 6 hundreths of cordage [?Received] from the contractors<br />
is £828 - 6 shillings - 6 pence and what more hath been loste in the<br />
muscovia cordage and all other prepositions taken in <br />
by these waights we are not able to estimate/.
4 Cause/
As the waighte have lesse, soe the Books have continued<br />
more waighte then they oughte, for there wee found a<br />
cable of 16 inches 4/4 entred 2 hundreth waighte heavier then it<br />
bare upon the scale, and when it was excused by two<br />
yeares drying, wee compared for further triall 46 of <br />
these with 46 of like length and size of the best Muscovia<br />
provision as both waighed at their size takeing in, and<br />
these waighed more by 7 tonne - 2 pounds - 2 hundreths - 26 which in money <br />
riseth to 249 - 15 - 6; Againe comparinge a cable of 15<br />
inches of this store with an other from Muscovia of a later<br />
making the English that was found heavier 4 hundred 1/2 weight and comparing<br />
this making with itself a cable of VI inches .96 fathom<br />
weighed but 50 hundred weight - 3 quarters - 21 pounds. and another of VI inches, and <br />
but 93 ffathom weighed 56 hundred weight - 0 quarters - 11 pounds which is a difference and<br />
above seaven pounds in the price
But Beside this probabillitie of abuse in the cordage <br />
we finde by cCnfession that 1000 waighte of iron<br />
was added to one Bill or other worke then the Kinge's<br />
wee heare of much more in this Kinde ./.
5 Cause./
Manye necessary works have beene neglected which <br />
might have the Shipps from decaye and <br />
workmen suffered to Clamour and dishonour the<br />
state whilste his Majesties Treasure hath bene<br />
expended upon superfluous emptions namely upon a<br />
masse of Bad Cordage for which in the yeare 1609 thead Cordage for which in the yeare 1609 the +
