brought thither in the goods of the place in their
said shipps. And further that upon such bringing of this deponent
prisoner to Santa domingo (which was in or about January 1654 old stile) hee
heard them spake with the said two dutch masters, and knoweth that
they were not released from the said restraint by the Spaniards
till March next after. And further hee cannot depose

To the fourth article hee saith that the said Claus Johnson and
Barent Claeson were in or about the said moneth of March sent
by the Governour of Santa domingo in a vessell for Spaine as
prisoners, and their said shipps detained still at Santa domingo,
And saith that on Saint Georges day (new stile) after about five or six
weekes after such sending away of the said two Masters) the
English ffleet under the Command of Generall Penn and others
appeared before Santa domingo, which hee knoweth being there
all this while, and put into close prison upon the approach
of the said fleete. And otherwise hee cannot depose, saving what
followeth.

To the fifth sixth seventh and 8th articles hee saith that in or about
May 1656 the said two dutch Masters Claes Johnson and
Barent Claeson came and arived at Santa domingo in a vessell
coming from Spaine, and brought therein a President and some
servants, at which time hee saith their said two former shipps
were spoiled and became useles, of this deponents sight
and knowledge, one of them (if not both) being sunck by the
Spaniards to hinder the comming of the English, upon the first
arivall of the said two dutch masters finding themselves
soe defeated of their shipps, proceeded there somewhile in law
concerning them, but having noe remedie, they had leave to
make retournes of waht they brought thither (being wines and
oile) in their said shipp that soe came with the President
and make up the rest of their lading upon freight for Cadiz,
and thereupon they had severall quantities of hides, tobaccoe
and cacoa laded aboard their said shipp wherein they soe came
last, and severall passengers were imbarqued for Spaine, All
which hee knoweth being then at Santa domingo and taking
notice of the premisses, and thereby alsoe well knoweth that
the said shipp under the conduct of the said two brothers, with the
said goods and passengers aboard set saile from Santa domingo
for Cadiz in or about November 1656 old stile, And further hee
cannot depose.

To the fourteenth and fifteenth articles hee saith and deposeth that
this deponent was at Tertoadas all the while the said two
brothers were there with their said two former shipps, and
observed what passed by or concerning them, and that neither there
nor afterwards when hee came to Santa domingo did hee heare or
understand that they or either of them or any of their company
either on Tert[XX]das or elsewhere tooke or seized any English or
dutch shipp or shipps or man or sent or carried any to Santa
domingo, albeit there were then warr[?s] betwixt England and
Holland [#] And further that the did not as hee beleeveth

[#] but on the contrary heard that they were instrumental to save English mens
persons and goods, and furnished them with tackle to [?carry] their boates away,
and soe beleeveth it to be true.
