is accompted to bee) the English Consull there, and the sayd ffowke
had conference with the officers and souldiers of the Grand signior and
by promises of reward or other meanes soe pacified them at the
present that they suffered this deponent and Company to relade all the sayd

ffowke demanded of this deponent eighteene hundred pieces of
eight for the cleereing the sayd goods pretending that hee had paid
to the Grand signiors officers and his owne dues for Consullage
for them, did amount to soe much, but this deponent knowing that
