assured that what damage happened to the sayd Tobaccoes happened
not through any neglect or fault of the Master and Company of her
who hee well knoweth performed their duties in her in manner aforesayd
with all possible care and diligence, but was occasioned meerely by
the violence of the sayd storms which made the breaches and hurts aforesayd
