arlate about the beginning of the yeare 1651 (new style) [?XXXXX]
brought in thither under the Command of Officers of the King of

service of the sayd King hee knoweth not but hath heard shee was
first seized in the Mederas in the yeare 1650 And further to this article
hee cannot depose/

with ammunition fitting)might well bee worth (besides
Mariners wages) a hundred and tenn pounds sterling per
moneth And further hee cannot depose for that hee was not
present at her seizure in the Maderas nor knoweth how shee
was then provided either with victualls men or ammunition
nor in what condition shee then was./
