them rifled and plundered the sayd shipps of most of their ladeing
and provisions and tackleing this deponent being aboard the sayd
ducth man of warr when the Constant Mary was soe seized and saw
the sayd ducth man of warrs company bring aboard the sayd man of
warr out of the Constant Mary the severall sorts of goods and merchan
dizes before specified, and her spare sayles and rigging shee being furnished
with new sayles and Cordage besyde what shee had up, and having thus
seized the sayd shipps the sayd Albrechts the Commander of the sayd
ducth man of warr carried the sayd shipps the Gyant and the Constant
Mary to the Grand Canaries to the utter overthrowe of the voyages which
were then bound out upon and great dammage of the Owners and
imployers of them And hee saith the Constant Mary at such her seizure
was a tight strong shipp and her and her tackle and furniture then very good
and the Merchandizes soe brought from aboard her well conditioned
and further hee cannot depose not knoweing the quantities of the
provisions and goods and Merchandizes soe seized aboard the Constant
Mary but knoweth they did amount to very considerable value./.

To the 6th and 7th and 8th articles hee saith that hee hath used the Guinney trade any
tyme these twenty yeares and made many voyages thither and sometyme
thence to the Barbados, and thereby knoweth that such kinde of goods
and Merchandizes as were seized aboard the Constant Mary the
tyme aforesayd doe frequently yeilde great profitt
at Guinney soe that hee verily beleeveth if shee had arrived
safe at Guinney with her sayd ladeing and there bartered them away
and gone from thence to the Barbados with the proceede thereof and then
returned safelty to London, her sayd voyage would have produced to
her owners and imployers at the least two thousand pounds sterling
over and above their principall, and
soe much profitt is usually made upon such Commodities in such
voyages all which the sayd ffrancis
Bellers Richard Glover Thomas ffowke and Company the Owners
aforesayd are deprived of by reason the sayd hans Albrechts
hath ever since the sayd eighth day of May 1654 kept and deteyned the sayd
shipp and her ladeing from her sayd Owners and doth still deteyne the same
or hath otherwise disposed thereof./

To the 9th article hee saith the Constant Mary and her tackle apparrell
and furniture from the 8th day of May 1654 (if shee had not bin then
seized) would untill this present have yeilded her Owners fifty pounds
a moneth to lett her out upon voyages from London to Guinney and thence
to the Barbados and thence to London, as this deponent verily beleeveth And
further to this article hee cannot depose./

To the 10th article hee siath that in his this deponents Judgment the sayd
ffrancis
