To the first and second articles of the allegation hee saith that the shipp Phenix when [?shee]
came to anchor at the place in the River of Thames where the dammage in
question was done to the arlate shipp the Consent, did ride by two Anchors
one of them to the Northwards of the River and the other to the Southwards of the
same and was alsoe made fast to an other shipp which ridd neere her, or the
shipp made fast to her, and that the sayd shipp Phenix soe ridd moored
well and sufficientlty and in a usuall and very good place for the mooreing
of shipps and where shipps doe usually ride, from Thursday till Satterday [?XXXX]
without doeing or receaving any hurt or dammage either to
or from any other bessell this hee better knoweth for that hee this deponent
being Master of a Shipp called the Loves Encrease did ride neere the same
place with his sayd shipp at the tyme when the Phenix soe came to an
Anchor there and at the tyme when the sammage in question happened and
afterwards, and did well see and observe the mooreing and rideing of the Phenix
there And further to these articles hee cannot depose./
