sound in order to the better preservation of the sayd ship and ladeing and
there stayed only two dayes and then came thense in Company of two English men
of warr which lay in Plymouth sound, and kept then company a while
untill they mett with some English shipps Merchant men bound some
for Rochell others for Nantes and Croysick in ffrance and sayled in
their Company about thirty leagues, and soe gott cleere of the Brest men of
warr and arrived safe with the Sea fflower and her ladeing at Saint Sebastians
this hee deposeth being one of the Company of the Sea fflower videlicet
the Gunner of her and an eye and eare wittnesse of the premisses, and
beleeveth that had not the sayd Swanne and Company soe put into Plymouth
Sound and gott company they might in probability have lost their sayd
shipp and her ladeing And further hee cannot depose/

at Saint Sebastians did there unlade her outwards Cargo consisting of

bee an imbargoe of all English shipps there this deponent and others
of the sayd shipps company hearing thereof did desyre the arlate Mr
Gefford who came dayly aboard the sayd shipp after her arrivall there to hasten the reladeing of the sayd shipp for feare of
the sayd Imbargoe and the sayd Gefford replyed and sayd they should
not neede to feare any such thing as an Imbargoe, for hee had news
out of England that there was no feare of any difference betwixt
the English and the Spaniards or words to that effect, and saith that after
the sayd Gefford had laden about three or fower and twenty tonne of Iron
abord the Sea fflower, shee staying to take in more (which as the
sayd Gefford sayd hee had to come out of the [?Countrye] and was to bee
laden aboard her) was seized, and the sayd three or fower and twenty
tonns of Iron soe laden aboard her which was all her ladeing shee had
aboard at her seizure, which seizure as this deponent verily beleeveth
had not happened in case the sayd Gefford had the sayd dispatched the
sayd Swanne and Company and putt all the ladeing hee intended to lade on board
the sayd shipp Sea fflower before the sayd seizure happened as this deponent verily
beleeveth hee the sayd Gefford might have done The premisses hee
deposeth being one of the sayd shipps Company and an eye and eare
wittnesse thereof. And further cannot depose/

To the last hee saith his foregoeing deposition is true./
