otherwise then as followeth videlicet, the said shipp in her said voyage comming
neeere the Greate Bay of the Barbada's and her master and company
purposing to goe with her in thither to supplie her with fresh water
whereof they had none, and to trade there if the Governour would give
them leave, there came a boate from land with about five English
man therein aboard her, and the said English asked the master whence
they came and the master answering them from Amsterdam,
asked them if hee might trade there freely, to which they answered and said
yes, as freely as formerly, and the said master and company hearing that
answer, and seeing dutch shipps riding in the Bay with the Prince of
Orange his flagg in their sternes, went a little way into the
roade, and a good distance before they came neare the shipps, that were
there lying, came to an anchor, and then the said English desired to be
[?choffering] for and to buy (as they seemed) some of the horses brought
in the said shipp, which the master refused to sell them telling
them hee would not trade with any without the Governours leave
and thereupon the said master went ashore to the Governour to see
if hee might have freedome to take in fresh water, that soe
hee might carry his horses to the Leeward Islands, and as the said
master after reported, the said Governour gave him leave to take
water, and asked him if hee would not trade there (speaking of the
Barbadas) to which hee said hee answered yes, if the Governour would
give him licence, rather then to [?XXXX] the leeward Islands, and that
the Governour gave him leave, and badd him trade freely, saying hee should
have asmuch freedome to trade as heretofore and as any shipp in the
Roade had, and desired to buy one of the horses, which the master sold
and delivered, and soe having got license the said master sold the rest
of the horses to the English there and delivered them ashore, and
then the master got leave of the Governour to take in water and
to goe to the Iland of kersow [EDITOR: Curacao](being under the dutch) and fetch
more horses, and to bringe and sell them at the Barbada's, and going
and fetching them and retourning with them towards the
said bay, and being about foure dutch miles without the bay there
came the frigot Grantham and seized the said shipp the kinge
david with nine and twenty horses, and some goates, namely about
36 goates, which horses and goates were alsoe belonging to the said owners
of the said shipp, and soe were the foresaid horses delivered at the
Barbada's, and saith the said horses and goates brought from kersow [EDITOR: Curacao]
were worth about five thousand gilders, and cost soe much there,
and the horses brought from Amsterdam and sold at the Barbada's
alsoe worth about five thousand gilders, and the said shipp tackle and
furniture were worth about eight hundred pounds sterling or eight
thousand gilders, and that shee was under saile when shee was
seized by the English, and was on the open sea, all which hee knoweth
for the reasons aforesaid, and otherwise cannot depose, saving
the said owners dwell all at Amsterdam.

To the 5th hee saith that the said frigot brought the aid shipp and lading
upon the said seizure into the said roade to Generall Penn, and after
foure or five daye, the said master of the king david and company were
turned ashore to shift for themselves, and this was in or about the
14th
