had weighed came to an anchor neare to and about the Endymion in
such manner as they had inclosed her, and secured her from weighing
and sailing without their permission, and then hee saith it being
made knowne to the dutch Generall that the said shipp Endymions
commannder (who then was the said Garrard) and company desired
to saile her to Bantam to compleate her ronnage to goe for England,
the said Generall prohibited such her going into Bantam Roade,
but with much adoe, gave leave for her voate to be sent ashore, to
give notice to the English Agent of her being there. All which
hee knoweth because hee was aboard the Endymion the said time.

To the sixth and 7th hee saith that the said English Agent thereupon came
from Bantam, and went aboard the said Generall, to get leave for
the said shipp the Endymion her going into Bantam-roade to take in
such goods as were there ready for her to be transported for England,
but as the said Agent reported upon his retourne, the said dutch
Generall would not permit her to goe thither, And thereupon the
said Agent after hee had bin some space ashore at Bantam came aboard the Endimion willed the Captaine and company to fit the shipp and to
weigh and to saile for Battavia, where hee hoped that his
presence might (as hee said) effect somewhat with the Governour
of the dutch, [?rendering] to his desires, and thereupon the said shipp
sailed thither, and there the said Agent went ashore, to applie
himselfe to the Governour, but afterwqards there came word from
the said Agent, that hee could not prevaile with the Governour
for the said shipps foing for Bantam, and thereupon the said Captaine
and company were constrained with a very small quantitie of
victualls, to set saile for England, the dutch not giving them
time to stay to furnish themselves with such conveniencie of food for
their maintenance and subsistence, as was necessarie for that voyage.
By meanes of which premisses hee saith the said voyage was
much disappointed, the shipp forced to retourne with much dead freight.
the goods that were provided and readie for her lading at
Bantam left behinde, the said English company very much
damnified, and the English Nation dishonoured. All which hee
knoweth for the reasons aforesaid.

To the eighth hee saith that while the said shipp the Endymion
soe lay under commannd of the dutch fleete about foure leagues
from Bantam as aforesaid, the Captaine sent out his boate
with some of his company therein to cutt a little wood upon
an uninhabited Iland that was neere by, but the dutch (as
hee saith) to show their power and greatnes in those parts
fired a musket at the boate, and commannded her aboard the
Generall, to crave leave for such their going and fetching
of wood, which they were constrained to doe, or els they must not
be suffered to goe ashore to fetch any wood, and as hee heard they had fired a Gun at her boate when shee was there before. And otherwise hee cannot
depose.

To the 9th hee saith that the shipp the Mary gold arlate
