busines there which hee this deponent had occasion to imploy him about
the sayd ffrancke would and did constantly disobey this deponents commands
and this deponent hath bin told by severall persons in the Canaries who
know this deponent and loved him, that the sayd ffranck did in his drinke
give out and declare that hee this deponent was not the Master of
the sayd shipp Golden ffortune but one Morgan Jones an English
man which this deponent by his sayd friends hearing of, was very
fearefull that the sayd shipp would be by the sayd ffrancks talke
in his drinke be betrayed, as well it might and therefore was forced though
the sayd ffrancke refused to obey or doe any thing this deponent
commanded him yet to speake him fayere, and by that meanes gett him
aboard, where the sayd Jones the Master (this deponent having
acquainted him with the sayd ffrancks carriage and speeches ashoare)

the least speech with the sayd ffactor And further hee cannot depose

To the last article hee saith hee knoweth that the arlate Jones did
not nor any of his company as in his behalfe signe any bills of
ladeing for the wines arlate neither were any bills tendered to

being a dutch man and hee who was by designe Master of the Golden
ffortune during her stay at the Canaries the better to secure her
trade there did signe all the bills of ladeing for the wines laden
aboard the sayd shipp at the Canaries, they being tendered by
the lader, only to this deponent, to signe and not to the sayd Jones
And further hee cannot depose./
