of eight and twenty dayes (or thereabouts) together, that albeit hee hath used
seafaring for theise 26 yeares, yet hee never met with the like and
of such continuance for stresse and violence, and that by meanes
of the said stressie weather the said ship the Chase shipt many
[?sayes] and received much water, and that whatsoever damage or
hurt is befallen to the lading of merchandize aboard her, came
and happened merely by occasion of the said stormes and stresse of
weather, and not by any insufficiencie of or in the said vessel or
any negelect or want of care in the master or any of his company,
who from time to time by all meanes they could use, did their
utmost to preserve the said merchandize from damage,
and further
did and performed all other duties of honest and carefull mariners.
All which hee knoweth being masters mate as aforesaid and going
all the said voyage in her and seeing the premises soe donne.
And otherwise hee cannot depose.
