following and not otherwise, that is to say, They have howses
in hamburgh where their wifes doe live for the tyme their
husbands are upon their voyage, and that att their returnes
they come to holland, and dwell there with their husbands
untill they goe forth agayne. And for that they onely keepe
a fire in hamburgh they procure passes as hamburghers,
and in such sort and not otherwise are hamburghers. And

the sayd four shipps did come from Cales together in Company,
that all of them were bound from Cales to Amsterdam, and
that the George and Samson were in their passage seized by the
English, and the Salvador submitted her selfe to the English
and that the Mercurius onely escaped, and went directly to
Amsterdam, and delivered the sylver that was in her to the same
persons Owners of the sylver that was in the sayd other three
shipps that were taken and in the power of the English; And that
he the sayd Urian Mattison came from Cales in the Mercurius, and
