severall times told and promised this deponent and his said brother [?that GUTTER]

againe and carried them to lisbone, and at Lisbone hee saith the
said goods of the Spaniards were by the said Captaine againe taken,
and all dispersed and there sold to the officers and agents of the said
fleete, saving the tobaccoes which were shipped for England, and
there namely at Lisbone the said Captaine (allbeit hee told this
deponent and his brother upon their comming from Tituan that at
Lisbone they should be dismissed with their shipp and freight) kept them
prisoners aboard his said frigot the maidstone, and afterwards
carried them out with him to sea, from place to place saying hee had received order to carry them againe to the Generall and comming
before Cadiz, the said Captaine Suffered the said Claes Johnbson this
deponents brother to goe aboard a Genua shipp bound in to Cadiz to follow his busines touching his said two former ships and leaving this [#]

thereof by the Generalls
order.

before coming back to Lisbone this deponent was dismissed,

by the English. And saith that the said shipp Nicholas for every moneth of
the said time was worth (for her imployment or freight) the summe of
two hundred and fiftie pounds sterling, and was of the burthen
of two hundred and fiftie tonnes or thereabouts, and was ub very
good omployment when shee was seized.

company of the Nicholas as were hurt or wounded, were soe hurt

the Commander and all the Spaniards were taken out of her
with the Maidstonre frigot, and were soe hurt
or wounded because they brake open and were plundring of a chest
of peeces of eight after the shipp the Nicholas was yeelded
and were not hurt or wounded for not fighting, it being too
late to thinke of fighting when the shipp was yeelded and the Captaine and passengers gonne [XXXX GUTTER] which hee knoweth being left in the
Nicholas, and seeing the premisses.
