Transcription

fell ashooting small shott at them in such furie and abundance that
to hinder them form landing, that they not being able to land without
apparent danger of their lives, were forced to retreate and goe away without
fetching the said [?iron] off, and this the dutch did albeit they knew them
to be English, and saw that they had the English colours in the [?CXXXX GUTTER]
and a flagg of truce on the boates sterne.
And hee moreover saith that
the said fire tooke soe suddanily from the houses where it was first
begun on the English house that there was noe meanes to sabe and
convey away any of the said goods therein, and that by reason of [?The GUTTER]
suddaine catching on the said house, Mr herrick as hee told this deponent
could not have time to take out money of his that was in [?XXXX]. but
was foreced to run out and leave it, although hee became burnt and
scortcht in his leggs by the said endeavour as aforesaid. And lasly [?hee GUTTER
saith that the said English East India and Guiney Company became
very much damnified by the said wilfull and malicious firing by the
dutch, in the burning and losse of their said house and goods
and merchandizes therein, and by destruction of their factorie and
trade there, but the summe of the said dammage hee cannot estimate
and further cannot depose.
