till the next day at noone or thereabouts, … till the next day at noone or thereabouts, and the said vessell and<br />
company were thereby put in greate perill of perishing in the sea<br />
and being forced all the said night to let the said b[?arke] drive, and<br />
not being able to beare saile therewith the violence of the said<br />
storme; By meanes of which storme they say the sea was soe<br />
troubled, and wrought soe high that the said vessell shipped<br />
and received much water, notwithstanding all the care and<br />
industrie of theise deponents and company to keepe the same out and<br />
to prevent dammage to their ladeing; howbeit they doubt as<br />
they say that through a such unavoydable shipping of greate quantitie of water<br />
the lading aboard may have received dammage, which whether it<br />
hath or not they doe not [?certantly] know, not having as yet<br />
broke bulke, but make this attestation and deposition for the<br />
satisfying of their merchants and make knowne unto them<br />
how the dammage, (if any be) happened, And saying further<br />
that if any such dammage hath happened, it is not by the<br />
default or neglect of them or any of them or any of their<br />
fellowes, but merely by the fortune and casualtie of the sea<br />
and storme aforesaid.
