Transcription

a sailemaker and sawe such the comming thither in and going out thence of the said shipp
and further that the said shipp began this her last voyage from the said citie and
port of Amsterdam about three yeares and a halfe since of this deponents knowledge
taking notice of such her then sailing thence laden with peace goods for Cadiz where
as hee hears shee delivered the same: and upon her retourne to Amsterdam (the
voyage before shee began that last from thence), the said John Martenson
dorp bringing silver in her from Spaine, delivered the same at the signe of the
Grave Van Buren neare the old church at Amsterdam. And otherwise hee cannot
depose, saving hee looked at and sawe the carrying of the said silver thither
as many others did, who because the quantitie was greate stood and gazed thereat.

To the fifth and sixth articles of the said allegation hee saith and deposeth that
the said John Martenson dorp while the warrs
lasted betwixt Spaine and holland was accustomed for his outwards voyages
from Amsterdam to hire men there for Spaine and the Streights and
parts thereabouts, and when the said men have made question to what place
they should come back, and where they should end their voyages, hee would from
time to time answer, at hamborough, and for their comming from hamburgh
home hee would (upon their questioning it) tell them that hee would hire
a boate of purpose for them to bringe them home from hamborough or
to the same effect, and yet hee hath from time to time retourned to
Amsterdam, which hee knoweth living there, and hath had often conference
with such men as hee hath hired as aforesaid and from them bin informed
of such his hiring them to the effect aforesaid. And by the meanes aforesaid
and concealing his said shipp to belong to Amsterdam (saving to such
merchants as would lade silver aboard her) hee the said John
Martenson dorp hath driven a greate trade as a master therein from
Cadiz for Amsterdam for theise tenn yeares last. And saith that
within theise nine yeares space last last hee this deponent being severall times
at Cadiz in Spaine sawe and tooke notice there that after the said
John Martenson dorp his arivall there and
dischardge of his goods brought from Amsterdam hee hath used to take
freights for the Straights or other parts in Spaine and soe [?spend] out the
time till the Spanish plate fleete retourned from the Indies, and then to
take in silver and other goods for Amsterdam, and if hee had any occasion
to hire men there, hee would hire them for hamborough still concealing
his being bound for Amsterdam, whither of this deponents knowledge
hee hath after gonne and dischardged and ended his voyages at Amsterdam.
And this was growne soe frequent that the seamen would at
length laugh and say, they knowe what hamburgh it was, it was great
hamburgh which they said was Amsterdam, or to the same effect which
this deponent came to take notice of [?XXXXXX] and frequenting
the companies of the mariners, and being a sailemaker having much
intimacie with them of Amsterdam where hee dwelt, And otherwise hee
cannot depose.

To the 12th and 13th articles hee saith and deposeth that hee well
knoweth the shipp arlate having the Golden sunn upon her sterne
(whereof Peter Tam is Master) and heard that the voyage in question shee
came in Companie of the Sampson Salvador and Saint George arlate
from Cadiz, or [?within] some short space before or after them, and see that
shee mett or was in theire Companie att sea after theire said
departure the said voyage from Cadiz, and came in theire Companie
into the English Channell, and that the said shipp haveinge the
Golden Sunn uppon her sterne escapinge and not being mett withall
and intercepted by the shipps of this Commonwealth came and arrived
in Ostend in or about the moneth of October 1652, att which tyme
this deponent was there and saw her said arrivall, and spake with her
said Master, and after such her arrivall shee unladed her silver and
delivered
