and hath soe donne for theise five yeares last or thereabouts, during which
space shee hath alwaies bin accompted and reputed to be belonging to the
port of hamborough and to be there built, but hee this deponent
was abroad on a voyage in the time of her building and therefore hee
cannot depose thereto, And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the second hee cannot depose, saving what followeth.

To the third article that during such time as the said shipp the Salvador
was and remayned at Cadiz in the yeare 1652 there was there noe common
voice or report nor did hee there ever heare it said that shee was
belonging to Amsterdam, but the common report and estimation was
that shee belonged to hamborough, all which hee knoweth
because hee this deponent was then at Cadiz in the shipp the George
of hamborough whereof hee is master. And otherwise hee cannot
depose.

To the fourth article hee saith that hee well knewe the arlate
Mathew ffransen and hath soe donne for theise five yeares last past

and noe wayes likelie to be a part owner of soe considerable a shipp
as the Salvador is, which was and is a shipp of greate Burthen, and

hath for thise three or foure yeares before her seizure knowne her to
use a greate trade on the coasts of Spaine, and saith that her owners

Brandes, Jerome Snitger, John Baptista yoncker, Gerard Boooremaster
John Rubke and Jerom Peters and the said master, who hee saith
were and are persons of such eminence and qualitie, that in all
probabilitie they would not permit any such slight person as
the said Mathew ffransen is to be part owner of any shipp with
