To the third hee saith that while the said shipp with the said Negro's
and Elephants teeth aboard her, were neare the said Cape as aforesaid,
Captaine Albert Cox in a frigot called the Cat or some such
name, and Captaine Japoon in his frigot called Kater (or some
such like name) with their respective companies, were there alsoe
present and remaining; and that the said Captaine Cox was then
commonly said and reputed to be a dutch man of Amsterdam, and his
said vessell to be belonging to and to set forth from that cittie, and
soe himselfe and company confessed in this deponents hearing, and
the said Japoon was commonly said to be belonging with his said
frigot to Holland, and saith that their officers and most of their company
were dutchmen, and commonly accounted to be with their said
Commanders subiects of the high and Mightie lords the States of the
United Netherlands,
and
the owners of the said frigot were and are alsoe commonly accounted
to be of holland or other dominions of the said States in the Netherlands,
and to be their subiects, and those of the Cat to be of Amsterdam,
the premisses hee deposeth being masters mate of the Brotherhood
as aforesaid.

To the fourth hee saith that notwithstanding the premisses, the boate
of the said Captaine Cox manned with his and the said Captaine
Japoons men armed came within the said time, namely on a day happening
about this time twelve moneth aboard the said shipp the Brotherhood
(then going to [?saile]) and in a hostile and terrible manner entred her,
and dispossessing her master and company, possessed them selves of
the said shipp and ladeing, and having turned the said master and company
of the Brotherhood out of her into the boate wherein they came aboard
her, they carried them aboard the said frigot of the said Captaine
Cox, and brought the said shipp the Brotherhood to an anchor
betweene and neare the said two frigots, which being donne
the said Japoon came alsoe aboard Captaine Coxes said frigot, and
there deriding the said master and company of the Brotherhood, told
them they had bin better have given him a peece of money, and that
nowe they had lost all, and soe hee and Captaine Cox going into
the greate cabbin, made themselves very merry at what they had
donne and caused many guns to be fired. And the next day
hee saith they went the said master of the Brotherhood and
company (all save the said Frenchman) ashore and there
left and exposed them on Cape Lopus to misery and distresse having
stript and deprived them of all necessaries, and soe hee saith the
said shipp the Brotherhood and lading were and are utterly lost
to their said owners, being carried away by the said frigots, which set
saile about two houres after such turning ashoare of the Brotherhoods
master and company, and carried her and her lading away with them
in the sight of this deponent, and of his producent John Jourdan, and
