And otherwise cannot depose saving that there still is warr betweene
England and Holland and that he knoweth the premisses bring one of the
Company of the Advantage and present att the seizure of the sayd shipp the

Weather gage of the Advantage Captaine Mills caused his Holland
[Ancyent] to be putt out upon the Advantage thereby to cause the Golden
Starr to beare upp to him and withall shott off a gunn, and the sayd
