To the second article hee saith that on behalfe of certaine Englishmen there
were the time arlate laden aboard the said shipp hope at Coningsborough
hemp, oares, clapboards and pipe staves andwainscot to be transported to this port
of London, and here to be delivered, which hee knoweth being stiersman of
the said shipp and seeing the said lading. And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the third hee saith that in or about the beginning of december last past
the said shipp the hope in her course from Coningsbergh for London comming
neere harwich, was going in thither to seake for Convoy for London
and there met with the hare Pinck the
Commannder whereof told the master and Company pf the hope that
hee with the said Pinck was going to Convoy certaine vessells to London
and offered to Convoy the Hope alsoe, whereunto the said master
condescended, and soe the said Pinck and the Hope together with a
ketch of harwich and hoy of holland set saile together in or about
the middle of december last for this port, which hee knoweth being
aboard the Hope whereof hee was Steersman.

To the fourth hee saith that the said severall vessells in their course
betweene harwich and London by cashaltie ran upon a place in the
sea cakked the Middle Ground, and were there for some time laid
fast, and the said vessell the hare Pinck in a short space stabed on
peeces: And saith that some of the company of the Hopebeing in their
boate feeling and searching for the deepe water to the ende they might
knowe howe to get of their shipp, diverse of the hares company
came in her boate, and endeavoured by force to seize and take away
the Hopes boate, and while the hopes men that were in her boate were
striving to defend and keepe her, foure of the hares men got forcibly onto
the Hopes boate, who perswaded the Hopes men that were
in the boate to put off therewith, otherwise their fellowes that were gonne
back towards their shipp would (as they said) retourne and force the said
boate from them and force the Hopes men aboard their shipp, to the
greate endangering of their live. Whereupon the master and company of
the Hope and the said foure persons of the hares Company rowed with
their boate twoards shoare (which was about three leagues off) there to get
aid to help off their said shipp, to which they intended suddenly to retourne
But soone after they were gonne, the tide increasing the said shipp
the Hope gott off as they understood presently after their coming ashore.
The premisses hee deposeth for the reasons aforesaid. And otherwise
hee cannot depose.

To the fifth hee saith that the master and Company of the Hope being
soe got ashore they there shortly understood that their shipp was gott cleare
off the sand, and that some of the hares men had gonne and brought her
to an anchor and pillaged many things out of her, and carried the said
pillage
