And saith that in the moneth of May 1656 the said Egbert Scutt and

appointed factor, or sub-marchant in that behalfe) could meete with and
might be most advantagious for his said imployers, owners of the said
shipp, and to retourne therewith for holland for their áccount, All
which hee knoweth being at Amsterdam shipped stiersman of the
said shipp and acquainted with the designe of the voyage.

To the third árticles hee saith and deposeth that the said master

where they did barter away severall parcells of the said outwards lading, and
therewith bought and acquired upwards of eight thousand weight

severall small rolls of tobaccoe, six greate barreles, and tenn
small barells of tobaccoe and one caske of tobaccoe, all which
were laden aboard the said shipp at or neere the Wilde coast of

aboard her by and for account of the shipps company about
thirteene hundred weight of the foresaid roll sort of tobaccoe
in barrells and rolls; and one hide and a halfe. And that all
the tobaccoes in the said shipp were for the account aforesaid, saving
eighteene Potaccose which were afterwards taken in at the Canaries
for account of Augustin Rosetti a Genoese, which hee saith are
varinas tobaccoes, all which hee knoweth being stiersmann of the
said shipp and seeing the premisses soe donne, And otherwise hee
cannot depose
