Pursers of shipps and also their Masters have allowance made them of
a peece of eight a day for negotiating the shipps businesse on shoare
which they have had beside Average, And further hee cannot depose saving
hee saith the sayd dobbins in his Judgment did very well deserve a
peece of eight a day [?or] rather more to defray his charges for negotiating the shipps busines on shoare
at Lisbon before her goeing to Brazeele and at Brazeele in procuring
and compleating her freight thence and procuring satisfaction for his
freight after his returne to Lisbon wherein hee spent many moneths
And further to this article hee cannot depose/

To the 3 hee saith that hee this deponent knoweth (having gone many voyages
to sea) that it is usually where the Master and his company fall into any
sicknesse by reason of the dangerousnesse of the voyage, that the Master is
by the Owners allowed for fresh victualls and extraordinaries for
him selfe and Company And well knoweth that in the voyage in question
made to Brazeele the sayd dobbins and this deponent and
many others of his company had very dangerous and tedious fitts of
sicknesse ins oe much that the sayd dobbins was forced to bee lett
blood upwards of twenty tymes, and was in very great danger of
death and this deponent was alsoe soe extreame sick of a feaver by
reason of the heate of the Brazeele that hee was given over for one
who would not live, and did with great difficulty escape thereof, and fell
afterwards into a relapse thereof, but by Gods assistance escaped alsoe
thereof, And three of the sayd shipps company by the dangerousnesse
and Intemperature of the voyage dyed, and divers others were sick by
which meanes hee well knoweth the sayd dobbins did expend and
was necessitated to expend a very considerable summe of money
(byt what quantitie hee cannot estimate) in provideing fresh victualls
and other necessaries and phisick for him selfe and company and
by reason soe many were sick the said dobbins was forced to imploye
a Chirurgion of the shipp Alexander who went the voyage in question
in Company of the Peter to assiste the Peters Chirurgion in ordering
and takeing care of the Peters Company, and gave the sayd
Chirurgion a good suite beside what other remunerations and gratuities
in money hee gave him, And further hee cannot depose to this article
not knowing what the sayd dobbins put downe in his Accompt for
such expences or whether hee mentioned them at all therein, but for
more certaynty referreth him selfe to the sayd Accompt./

To the 4th hee cannot depose having not taken any particular notice of the Accompt of
dobbins, but for more certaynty referreth him selfe to the sayd Accompt./
