shee tooke in hay and water in the downes for her said horses,
and ariving neare the Barbada's the
Marchant of the said shipp named John Vosse went in her boate
ashore to the English Governour to knowe if hee might trade
there, and the next day hee retourned aboard, and said hee had
gotten leave pf the Governour to trade there, and certaine English
that came with him affirmed asmuch, and this hee saith was

license the said shipp went in and came to an anchor neare the
Bridge at the Barbada's, and there traded and sold and delivered
her said horses, and having soe donne the said shipp was taken
to freight there by the English to goe to the Salt Ilands or Cape
de ffarse Ilands to fetch asses to the Barbada's, whether accordingly
shee went and fetcht 38 asses and delivered them at the Barbadas
and shortly after such deliverie, the English fleete under the
command of Governour Penn came thither, and seized the said
shipp and turned the master and company ashore to shift for

And that the said shipp tackle and furniture was worth about six thousand
