Transcription

due to him as master in respect of average, And otherwise saving as
aforesaid hee cannot answer.

To the third hee saith the weare and tare of shipps in the Brazila
voyages is more than otherwise, and therefore they have the better freight,
and that it is therefore the more, because the voyage is longe and into
a hott countrey. And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the fourth hee saith that upon losse of cable or anchor, or cutting the
mast for preservation of goods upon a Portugese voyage (from Portugall), the dammadge
hath bin and may be somtimes recovered upon a Consolado, but
hee never knew any recovered upon a Brazeela voyage, and
otherwise he cannot depose.

To the fifth hee answereth negatively for his part, and otherwise
hee cannot answer, saving some masters having bin treated with
and refusing to goe upon the accustomed manner as aforesaid, the
designe hath bin given over.

To the 6th hee saith that those that goe unto the Brazile
voyage use to give or enter ffiansa or securitia in good summes
before the shipps proceeding, to retourne with the lading to the
dominions of Portugall and pay the kings customs, and saith
the owners or their agents are usually the procurers of the Brazila
voyages, and doe ordinarily enter and give the said fiansa, and
otherwise hee cannot depose, saving as aforesaid.

To the seventh hee saith hee doth not conceive the Brazeela
voyage to be any more dangerous to the master and companies health
than other voyages, and saith that besides their primage and
wages, they have commonly private adventures in the shipp, which
obliges them to the defence thereof. And otherwise hee cannot depose
saving as aforesaid.

To the 8th and 9th hee saith hee is nothing concerned in the matter in
question, but hath bin and is concerned as an owner of other shipps
as aforesaid, and hath somtimes allowed somthing to masters
out of average, somtimes more and somtimes lesse according to his
discretion as an owner, and otherwise hee cannot answer saving
that two hundred crownes was the most that ever hee allowed.
saving as aforesaid.

To the 10th hee cannot answer saving as aforesaid, and saving the
master uses to put a peece of eight per day into his account
but it is an the owners discretion to allow it or not.

To the 11th hee saith there is usually from these Northerne
parts to Lisbone allowance to the master and company per pack
or bale of goods namely from England for crosse bound packs or bales of goods six
pence per pack or bale, for each ballet not bound three pence and
for every tonn of other goods eighteen pence, and hee conceiveth
they have the like from other parts, and otherwise hee cannot answer
saving as aforesaid.
