To the first Interrogatorie hee saith hee cometh to testifie in this cause at the

To the 2 Interrogatorie hee answereth negatively not being present the tyme Interrate./

To the 3 Interrogatorie hee saith hee was never at Porto Port but once, which was

that it was a barred port and very dangerous in his Judgment to passe over the
barr without a Pylott, and saith that hee did observe that after by the helpe
of the Pylott brought from Lisbone the sayd shipp was brought soe neere
Oport that she was under the Command of the Castle there, a pylott came off shoare,
of his owne accord, without any shott made to him to that purpose, but (as

To the 5th Interrogatorie hee saith that for the two first dayes after the arrivall
of the sayd Jeggles upon the Coast of Portugall neere Oport the wether
was fayre, and afterwards stormie and that the sayd Jeggles did beate
upp and downe severall dayes but as hee at length confessed was ignorant
of the place, and thereupon as is predeposed the sayd Cowse seeing the sayd
Jeggles his unskillfullnes in knowledge of the place hee intended for, and
the storminesse of the weather, did upon the sayd Jeggles his motion consescend
to goe to Lisbone for a pylott And further saving his fooregoeing
deposition hee cannot answere./

To the 6th Interrogatorie hee saith hee verily beleeveth and is perswaded in
