such time as the said Thomas Middleton was absent from Tituan with the
said shipp the weather was very faire and att no time so stormie
or tempestuous but that the said shipp might very well with safety have
continued in the streights, And that notwithstanding any weather that did
happen inthat time hee saith that (as hee remembreth) heee might within two days have returned
againe into the roade of Tituan in case hee had not gon to Salley
as aforesaid, An otherwise hee cannot depose. saveing the reasons that [?induce]
him this to depose hee saith are that to his best remembrance) there was
noe foule or stormy weather dureing the time of the said Middletons absense at least the day or two after his departure

To the 7th and 8th articles of the said allegation hee saith taht the said [?merchants]
of Tituan seeing the said shipp so gone did neverthelesse continue their treaty
for the said Cargazon in expectation of the returne of the said shipp and
did propose Gould and silver ][?hides] and wax for the payment for the same which might
have teken effect if the said shipp had not beene absent as aforesaid, But in
[?reXXXed] the said shipp was so long absebt the said merchants of Tituan before the said shipp returned, sent away theire goods which they proferred in barter)
to S[?e]nta in Barbary belonging to the kinge of Spaine, and gave out that

by meanes whereof the markett for the present was utterly lost
All which hee deposeth of his certaine knowledge And further knoweth not.

To the 9th hee saith that hides and waxe are very [XX]dible comodities in the parts
of Spaine or the medera Ilands and the same might have bin sold there
for a very greate and considerable profitt and advantage to the said Thomas
Batt in case the said Cargazon of Tobaccoes had beene exchanged, And saith
that the wax would have yeilded 30. 40. or 50 li per Cent[X] profitt, and the [XXXes]
would have bin a very good comoditie in the m[?e]dera Ilands to which place
hee was incouraged by the merchants there, to bring them, And further hee
cannot depose./

there found him, and brought him off [?with] them And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the 11th hee saith that by reason of the losse of the markett att Tituan as
aforesaid, they were enforced and necessitated to seeke out many strange
places before they could sell of and barter theire Comodities, and ran through
many dangers and hazards which was the casuse that the voyage was length[?ne]d
five or six monthes longer (as hee conceiveth) than it might have beene, in case the treaty
