cannot depose/.
To the 7th 8th 9th and 10th articles hee saith the damage predeposed happened
meerely by the willfullnesse of the Master and Company of the Waterhound,
and by his willfull lufting his sayd ship inwards as aforesaid,
and hee saith the same damage had not happened if the Master and Company of
the Waterhound had not soe lufted his sayd ship inwards which they needed
not to have done for that they might have layne safely on the outside of
the William without lufting inwards upon her if they had pleased, And
saith the two shipps which laye within the William were much indangered by the
Master and Company of the Waterhound then(?) lufting their sayd ship in manner afore

receaved by the meanes of the Master and Company of the Waterhound as afoursayd
before they durst adventure to Sea in her, the repayre of which damages
hath cost and will cost the arlate Huntington and Company (as hee beleeveth)

shipp the William being bound as aforesaid for Sheilds and Gainsburgh hath
by reason of the damage aforesayd spent and will spend in the necessarie
repaires thereof as much tyme as while shee might have accomplished for
sayd intended voyage, soe that the sayd Huntington and Company (besides
the and ?XX predeposed of) will in this deponent’s judgement be damnified in losse of
tyme, victualls, and mens wages to the value of tenn pounds more of like
money And further to these articles hee cannot depose./
