are authorized and impowered to seize and take all shipps and<br />
vessells with their respective ladings belonging to the subiects<br />
of the ffrench King or States of the United Provinces to and for<br />
the satisfaction of severall great dammages that by the violences<br />
of the sayd ffrench King and his subiects and the sayd States of<br />
the United Provinces and their subiects have bene done to this<br />
Commonwealth and the subiects thereofm and the same was and is as he<br />
saith notorious and commonly knowne and beleived and otherwise cannpt<br />

To the second third and fourth articles of the sayd allegation This deponent saith<br />
that in or about the beginning of August 1653 last past the sayd<br />
''Kentish frigot'' whereof Captaine Reynolds was Commander and this<br />
deponent Master Gunner being in the immediate service of this<br />
Commonwealth did take and surprize the arlate shipp the ''Lewis''<br />

of her did confesse was a ffrench vessell belonging to ffrench men<br />

and had taken in her lading being oyles att Greenland and was<br />
bound for the Texell meaning the Port of Amsterdam in Holland<br />
and thither was foeing and would have gone with her lading if<br />
she had not bene stayd and intercepted. And this deponent saith<br />
of his sight and knowledge the sayd shipp did a little before<br />
she was seized sayle in a direct course for the Texell, and thither<br />
as the sayd master of her sayd would in probability ave come<br />
that night, speaking of the say whereof she was seized if she<br />
had not bene intercepted as afresayd, which confessions this deponent<br />
heard the sayd Dominicus Merseria freely and voluntarily make<br />
and was present att the taking of the sayd shipp as aforesayd and<br />
otherwise cannot depose.
To the fifth article of the sayd allegation this deponent saith that the sayd shipp<br />
the ''Lewis'' was seized and taken neere a place called Holygoland, which<br />

is the direct way to the Texell, and but about ten or twelve leagues<br />
