by a dunkirke man of warr so that the articulate Noyes and Company the better to bee in a readinesse
to defend them selves from seizure were constreyned to open their
Ports by reason whereof the weather continueing still very tempestious
and the sea running high, they sayd shipp tooke in much water at her
Ports which could not be avoided for the reason aforesayd And
the sayd shipp being by the sayd man of warrs chaseing of her put
to the Northwards of Scilly, the sayd shipp the Plough to recover her
way and keepe her from the Lee shoare was forced to leave
very pressed sayle, by reason whereof the winde being very high
and the sea tempestious the Company of the Plough were forced to open their hatches
to take up their Cables and bend them to their Anchors that they might
bee in a readinesse upon all occasion, by which meanes the sayd
shipp tooke in much water at her hatchway, which could not alsoe
be avoided for the reason aforesayd for that they were forced to open
them in order to the better preservation of the shipp, her ladeing and
their lives, These premisses hee deposeth of his owne sight and
knowledge And further to these articles hee cannot depose./

To the 3 hee saith that hee being Carpenter of her as aforesayd knoweth
that the shipp Plough during the whole voyage in question while
the stormes and casualtyes predeposed of happened was a strong tight
and stanch shipp for the imployment shee was in and soe still in since
her coming home And well knoweth that what dammage is happened
to her ladeing came not through any insufficience of the shipp
nor want of diligence and industrie of her master and company to prevent the
the same (who hee well knoweth laboured all they could to save
her and her ladeing from dammage and to secure their own lives) but
meerely by the stormie and tempestious weather and casualteyes
aforesayd And saith hee is well assured that had not the sayd
Master and company bin very active and laborious the sayd shipp
and her ladeing and Company had perished in the Sea or bin taken
by her the sayd man of warr And further hee cannot depose/

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