The Premisses hee Deposeth and knoweth going out [?in ?the GUTTER]
said ship Hope from Glascoe on the voyage in question
and being onboard the said ship when shee was soe
seized and surprized. And further deposeth not./.

To the 4th 5th and 6th articles hee saith that after the said
Browne and his Company had soe seized, and
possessed themselves of the said ship Hope, and her
lading they lept the said Hart Prisoner, and [XXX XXXX XXXX GUTTER]
a Summe of money of him, telling him that if hee did
not procure money to redeeme his ship, hee would carry
her and her Lading to the Seaven Islands, where
hee said hee could sell their ffathers for money, and soe hee
likewise declared to the Master of the ship the Golden Cock
whereof Robert Thompson was Master which was seized at
the same time by him the said Browne. And saith
that both the said Hart and Thompson told the said
Browne that their ships belonged to Glascoe in
Scotland, and that their owners lived there or to that effect
and shewd him (as this deponent hath bin credibly informed)
Papers and writings which did evidence soe much, but
notwithstanding the said Browne and Company would
not release either of the said ships unlesse the said
Thompson, and Hart would pay unto him a great summ
of money (which the said Hart and Thompson
were Constrained to doe, but how much the summ
was, this deponent doth not knowe, And saith that hee
veryly beleeveth that if the said Hart and Thompson had
not procured and paid the summ of money which the
said Browne demanded, hee the said Browne would
have sold both the said ships and ladings. And further
deposeth not.

To the 7th 8th and 9th hee saith that the said hart was
forced to engage the said ship hope, and her said
Lading, for the[X] payment of the summe of money to the
Merchant or Merchants of Garnesey of whom hee borrowed
the same for the said Browne, And the said Hart
was necessitated to sell the said ships Lading at Garnesey
to pay the said money, And by that meanes sold the
said Lading at very lowe Rates. and Did it not yeild [?him GUTTER]
above a third part of what the same would have
yeilded in ffrance had it come safe thither as in all
probability it would have done had not the said
unjst seizure happened. And saith that for his part
hee is not able to Judge or Estimate how much dammage the
Owners of the said ship and Lading have suffered by
(reason
