was Commander from which shipp or the Captaine or company
thereof or any of them there was not any the least offered
or iniury offered to the dutch shipps that were in those parts
or to any of them, or their Captaines or company, or any of them
which hee knoweth for that hee was Purser of her and went
the voyage in her from place to place.

To the third article hee saith that the premisses not withstanding

fleete of eight saile more of shipps and many small sloopes
and pro[XX]s, which hee did, and came to an anchor neere the Admirall

his shipp, which was alsoe obeyed, all which hee knoweth being present and

to goe aboard the Admirall and knowe the reason of such commanding [?her]
to and keeping them at an anchor, and this deponent accordingly goeing
aboard, the said Admirall or Commander named dierick Scoutten,
plainely told this deponent (after this deponents acquainting him with their
designe of merchandizing imployment for the English east India Company, and that [?XXX]
they were then bound and intended to goe into Bantam) that they should
not goe into Bantam Roade, whereupon this deponent desired leave to [?XXXX]
in their boate with a letter of advice of their arivall to the said English Compan[yes]
agent there, offering that the same boate should in [?such] going come
aboard him to be visited, but hee denied that alsoe, and told this deponent
that they should neither goe in with their shipp nor send in their boate
