Morning star or golden starr why he would fight with
the Parliament shipps upon the English Coast, he the sayd Lubkin
did not then pretend himselfe ignorant with whose shipps he fought but replyed
and sayd that in case this deponent had not come in he would never have
submitted to the Advantage, and moreover then sayd that if this
deponent had continued the fight broadside and boardside and had
not fallen upon him and boarded him by maine forece he would have

one of them did say and declare that they were bound directly for the

Company did well know and take notice that the Advantage and Waterhound
