anothers trade, and with whom and in what they cheifly deale, and while<br />
this deponent was soe at Cadiz hee observed that the said Mr Pinquet<br />
corresponded with Maximilian da [?hogha] and ffrancis de la Sierpe, merchants<br />
and factors there, but cheifly with the said Maximilian da [?hogha], and<br />
that hee used to send them goods from fflanders, and to have the retournes<br />

and such correspondance and trade this deponent hath observed him to<br />
keepe with them ever since his this deponents said comming to Antwerp.<br />
And hee saith hee hath the more knowledge thereof by the greate familiaritie<br />
that there is betweene the said producent and this deponents said master<br />
Mr Boschaert who driveth the like trade, and hearing them frequently<br />
discourse thereof, and in such discourse both at the house of the said<br />
Pinquet and of Mr Boschaert in Antwerp this deponent oftentimes before<br />
