Transcription

To the fourth article hee saith that shortly after their setting saile from
Santa domingo (as hee heard severall of the companie say) they did in the night
discover a fleete of shipps, and in particular the said John Moller the pretended
Sopracargo confessed to this deponent, that they did upon the espying of them
endeavour to [?recover] againe the port of Santa domingo, and then seeing themselves
chaced by them , the said Moller as hee confessed to this deponent did then throw
overboard the instructions, which hee brought with him from holland from
such (as hee pretended) employed him, and this hee saith was the
account hee gave this deponent when hee this deponent desired to see
his instructions for the management of his affaires in the said voyage,
and saith that severall of the said shipps company alsoe declared to this deponent that when
the said shipps chaced them, they supposed them to be English, But that
in the morning when it was light, they seeing them to be Spanish, stayed
for them, and then then the said Juan Mexia de horera went aboard
the Spanish Admirall, where hee was treated as a friend and after some
time, permitted to proceed on his voyage, which this deponent verily beleeveth
hee could not have donne, unlesse hee had given the Admirall good satisfaction
that the said shipp Santa Maria was hired by and that her goods were belonging to
the subjects of the King of Spaine, and further deposeth not.

To the fifth hee refereth himselfe to his forgoing deposition, and saith that
from his owne experience (having formerly traded in those parts) the said
Spanish Admirall durst not (as hee verily beleeveth) have letten the said
shipp [?her gonne] free unlesse hee had bin very well satisfied of her
being in Spanish imployment and her goods belonging to Spaniards, and
further deposeth not.

To the sixth hee saith hee cannot depose.

To the last hee saith his foregoing deposition is true.

Upon the third allegation of eight
articles [CENTRE HEADING]

To the first and second articles hee saith that hee this deponent hath heard Captaine
hannam arlate declare to the effect of this article, [?vegt]that hee met the
said shipp the Santa Maria off the Cape ffinis terra in her outward bounde
passage, and that the said Captaine van lymen declared to him that hee
was bound to a dutch plantation in the west Indies, and not for any
Spanish port, and saith that save after the said seizure of the
Mary, the said Captaine hannam [?comes] aboard this deponents said frigot
and finding the said John van lymen there they fell to speaking of their said
meeting off the said Cape finis terra and of their discourse there, and Captaine hannam in this
deponents presence and hearing asking the said van lymen if hee had bin as good
as his word in bringing of him a chest of silver, the said van lymen told
him that hee came too late, for then (as he said) hee had put out his silver
above foure dayes before the ffairfax frigot be met with him; whereupon the
said Captaine hannam replied and said to the said van lymen , well Captaine,
you see that you are met with at last, though you thought you should not
to which the said van lymen answered, I care not, I shall not loose much by it,
I doe not feare my shipp, if the Merchants cannot cleare their goods, let them
loose it, I have good services in holland for the hire of my shipp, or words
to the same effect, with severall aboarde [?scorise the xxxx]
