of the Hope (whereof this deponent was one) being in the Hopes boate
searching for deep water that soe they might endeavour to get off their
shipp, diverse of the hares company came in their boate, and violently
assaulted the master and company of the Hope as they were in their
said boate, endeavouring to take the said boate from the said company
of the Hope, and saith that foure of the Hopes company got forcibly
