shipp and lading, and finding a shipp of Rye lying in the haven and
one Mr [?Spye] a merchant aboard her, hee this deponent
desired directions from him and assistance for getting help, and hee saying
it was too darke and late for getting help from the towne till morning
this deponent retourned aboard his owne shipp againe.

To the sixth seaventh and 8th hee saith that the next morning before day light there
came many of the people and Inhabitants of that coast downe to the
said shipp, and endeavoured to fall aboard and plunder her,
but tooke nothing saving some lemmons and oranges and things of small
consequence, till afterwards the same morning that a certaine person stiling himselfe
Steward of the Earle of Arundell came downe, to whom this deponent
respectfully addressed himselfe and besought him to be a meanes
and to bee assistant in saving the said shipp and goods from the rapine
of those countrey people, offering him any satisfaction that hee
would demannd for such assistance and to pay all duties whatsoever
for the salvage of the said shipp and goods, the shipp howbeit notwithstanding then aground
on the shore, and that this deponent and company were all in
safetie in his sight, the said steward (or person soe stiling himselfe)
answered, that shee was a wreck and belonged to his lord of
Arundell or to that effect, which when the countrey people present
heard, they cried out, if shee belongs to the Eaarle of Arundell
shee belongs to us, and therewithall they fell in greate numbers and
with greate violence aboard, and encreasing more and more they
with swords, axes, hatchets and other Instruments fell to cutting
the shipp into peeces and to plundering and pillaging her and
tooke and cutt and carried forcibly away her tackle, rigging, sailes
yards and all her appertenance and all her lading and goods
whatsoever together with this deponents and companies chests
clothes, and utensills, and having wholly plundered away
the said lading, they cut downe her masts and cutt the shipp
all to peeces, and did not nor would suffer this deponent and
company or any of them to save and take ought to them selves;
which violence and spoile to prevent, hee saith the said Steward
used noe meanes not with standing the said addresse of this deponent
and his humble request to him with his hat in his hand for
assistance as aforesaid, all which hee knoweth for the reasons aforesaid
being present and seeing the same donne.

To the nineth hee referreth himselfe to the Registrie of this Court

To the tenth hee saith that in case the said disaster had not happened
this deponent and company had in all probabilitie carried the said
shipp and lading directly to Amsterdam, and there delivered the same,
that being their full purpose and designe, the shipp being bound
there to discharge/

Repeated before doctor Godolphin.
