that at such time of his being at Lisbone, there was noe obligation
on the master and company for dammage happening to the goods
in the voyage, but the same was usually laid upon the goods in a generall
average, and therefore they had noe other allowance but their
wages and gindage, saving that some owners have allowed the

according to the burthen of the shipp, and that was for his
extraordinary paines and hazard; And otherwise hee cannot answer.

the Brazila, they to prevent any future differences declared
to the commander that hee should not pretend to the average
for that voyage in case of proceeding thereupon, but hee
insisting to have a part thereof, the owners thereupon altered
their intention of sending her for Portugall, and ordered him
the said commander to lay her in for Italy, howbeit hee
saith that in such treatie, the owners would have given him
some allowance out of the average or otherwise as an incouragement
to ge the said Portugall voyage. And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the sixth hee saith that formerly fiansa hath usually
bin given on behalfe of the commander and shipp for their
retourne from Brazila back to Lisbone, and such
fiansa hath usually bin entred or given by the owners or
their factors on their behalfe at Lisbone, who habe procured
the said voyage, And saith that severalll English shipps went
the said voyage before the interrogated dobbins, And otherwise hee cannot
answer saving as aforesaid.

To the 7th hee referreth himselfe to what hee hath predeposed
and
