Adams from place to place at at Lisbone kept the said Claes and
Barent prisoners aboard an English frigot, and carried them in
that condition from Lisbone againe out to sea, and kept the said shipp
Nicholas at Lisbone where shee was violated by the English and her
lading disposed of by them and the owners deprived thereof and of
the freight, and there this deponent and others of her company being
turned at large by the English and not suffered to come into their
owne shipp, left her and betooke them selves to get passage and
imployment thence otherwise as well as they could. And saith the
said shipp was of the burthen of two hundred and fiftie tonnes aor
thereabouts at the time of her said seizure, and in very good
imployment, And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the twelveth hee saith that the said shipp at the time of the said seizure
had aboard belonging unto her foure and twenty guns, and was in
all things very well fitted and provided, ane otherwise hee cannot depose
but beleeveth the said shipp and appurtenance to be then well worth
two thousand pounds sterling.

To the thirteenth hee saith that after the shipp Nicholas was yeelded to the
Maidstone frigot, some of the company of the said shipp Nicholas
endeavoured to breake open and plunder a chest of peeces of eight
saying why should not they doe it, for the English would have them or to
that effect, but the master opposed them saying let them have them
that they belong unto, but they being unruly and forcing on to
breake open the said chest, the master strucke and wounded some
of them, and soe they became wounded, and were not strucke
or wounded because they would not fight, for the shipp as aforesaid
was yeelded and all thought of resistance ladi by, before the said
persons were soe wounded and beaten, all which hee knoweth
being present and seeing the premisses soe happen. And further
hee cannot depose.

To the fourteenth hee saith the said masters Claes Johnson and
Barent Claeson nor either of them did not in or with the said shipp
Nicholas seize or take any English or dutch shipp or shipps
or goods, or English or dutch men, which hee knoweth sailing all
the while in her as aforesaid, And otherwise hee cannot
depose saving as aforesaid.

To the 15th hee saith that there were noe armes or amunition
whatsoever brought in the said shipp Nicholas to Santa domingo
but what was belonging unto her, and was for her owne use
as aforesaid, nor any souldiers or other persons saving the foresaid
President and his said servants; but well knoweth that in another
shipp named the Mary which departed from Cadiz for
Santa domingo about a moneth or thereabouts before the Nicholas
there was greate store of amunition and armes and souldiers
transported to Santa domingo, which hee knoweth because hee saw
the said amunition and armes loaded and the said souldiers embarqued
in the said shipp Saint Mary at Cadiz, and when the Nicholas
arived
