To the 12th. and 14th. hee answereth and beleiveth That
hee hath not made any account, to the said owners or
any of them, for the said average, nor doth conceave
they have any right to the same, or any thing, to doe
therewith./ but doth beleive the said average
is an allowance peculiarly belonging to
the Master and Company and was in this
cause to bee not onely an encouragement
to them to fight and defend the goods, if
occasion required, but to undergoe the great
hazards and dangers of their lives, by the
great intemperature of the Rayne and
the excessive heate of the countrey whereby
many contagious diseases were contracted
and divers of them dyed and hee this
respondent had a very dangerous sicknes
in the said voyadge for divers weekes
which cost him one hundred pounds and
upwards all which was defrayed out of
the said average, and there were severall
abatements made, as a roove upon a
chest
