==Biographical synthesis==
John Dyet (b. ca. 1605; d.?). Mariner and cooper on the ship of war the ''Pearcy'' in 1650 and on the ship of war the ''Constant'' in 1655.

In the Admiralty Court his lastname is variously spelled as Dyet and Diett, but his signature is consistently "John Dyet".

Resident in Limehouse in the parish of Stepney in 1650 and 1655.

==Evidence from High Court of Admiralty==
John Dyet first appears in the Admiralty Court records in 1650, aged forty-five, living in Limehouse in the parish of Stepney. He is listed as "Johannes Dyet" with the occupation "Coperarius", that is, cooper.

The case concerned a vicious fight at sea between the English ship the ''Pearcy'', under the command of Captain Ellison, and a french man of war. Dyet claims that he urged Captain Ellison to fight the french vessel, and not to receive the French boat aboard his own vessel. Dyet claimed that if Ellison had followed his advice then the ''Pearcy'' would have been able to shott up the masts or yards of the French ship and would have prevented the French ship boarding the ''Pearcy''. Dyet states hat he was cooper on bopard the ''Pearcy'' at the time of the battle, and was captured with the rest of th crew by the French.

Five years later, on February 20th 1655 John Dyet deposed again in the High Court of Admiralty. Now fifty and listed as "John Diett", he was still resident in Limehouse in the parish of Stepney. He described himself as mariner and cooper of the ship the ''Constant''. He was examined on an allegation made in the Acts of Court on February 19th 1655 and on a related schedule in the case of "The mariners of the shipp or man of warr called the ''Constant'' against Captaine Isaac Philips imployer of the same".<ref>[[HCA 13/70 f.269v Annotate|HCA 13/70 f.269v]]</ref>

Dyet stated that he was cooper of the ship the ''Constant'' when she surprised a number of vessels with various cargos. All the ships and cargos were carried to Portsmouth and delivered into the custody of Captaine Isaac Phillipps. The deposition is brief, but it appears to be part of a dispute over wages or over equitable shares in the prizes for the ship's mariners.
