her to Milford, and soe to London, But he saith he
did heare that the Captaine was desirous to goe with
the sayd shipp for London, and that therupon he this
Rendent did heare the said Marriners mutter against
going to London, And that upon good grounds (as
he conceiveth) aswell in respect of the leakines of
the sayd shipp as the scarcity of provisions, and alsoe
the danger of comming out of Aberdee without a pylott
as at that time she had none, And further he
cannot answere./

was such a leake as would make any mans heart
ake to see it, And further he cannot answere./
