The premisses hee deposeth upon the reasons ensueing, that is to say, for that
hee this deponent having for severall yeares last past held Correspondencie with, and
well knowne the trade and negotiation of Edward Peters, was in the
yeare 1652 predeposed at Antwerp, where this deponents settled residence is, and where
the said producent before the tyme that the said shipps were taken showed unto
this deponent letters of advise and bills of lading which hee had receved from his
said ffactors over land, intimating and importing, that they had laden, all the greatest

lading now perused by him punctually to agree with other nyne of the same respective
tenors seized in the said shipps, and now remaining in the Registrie of this
Court where this deponent hath often seene and perused them, hee is fully and

true and reall, and so had and done as therein is contained. And further
