consideration of the great hazard they runne by danger of being surprized by the dutch
and by reason of preiudice that intemperature of the Country of Brazeele
may bee to their health, and not in consideration (as hee beleeveth) of any
weare and teare of the shipp, And saith that a shipp if shee bee carefully
looked to may in this deponents Judgment receave as little hurt in one of
