of the tyme and the weather commanded the sayd boates Company to rafte the<br />
wynes in question and threatned them and told them they must and should rafte<br />

and the wine in question lost by reason of the violense of the sea and the<br />
said Whittbies forseing the sayd shipps Company to rafte the same and not by any<br />
neglect of the sayd shipps company or for want of any endeavour of<br />
theirs to save the same And further hee cannot depose/

of the ''Olive Branch'' being alsoe a shoare to rafte wines to goe a board the sayd<br />
shipp did departe without rafteing any, by reason of the ruffenes of the sea as<br />
hee bleweth, it not being then fitt weather then to rafte wines, And further to this article<br />
