which the said Hickman rose upp in a
great rage and drew his pen knife and
ranne and stabbed att the said Calker in
a most desperate manner whoe seeing
himselfe in great danger of his life
held upp his Arme and receaved the stabb
thereinto which otherwise had without
doubt beene in his Brest and had in all
probabillity killed him which fault soe
appeareing to this Rendent and Company
the whole Company cryed out to this re=
spondent that the said Hickman might
bee severely punished for soe foule a [?fact]
that thereby not onely hee but others might
for the future bee deterred from committing
such dangerous and desperate Acts Where

tained That hee that should drawe a
knife in the shippe to seeeke to doe mischeife
to any man should have his hand nailed
