the said king of Portugalls ministers. All which hee knoweth to be true
because this deponent as commander of the said shipp was acquainted with
the providing and lading the said sugars for the said mariners their account.
and lent most of the money unto them for the buying thereof, and hath
alsoe seene his boatswaines booke mentioning the said particular parcells
