the sayd humfrey fosse the boatswaine an severall others
of the sayd shipps company did refuse to take the sayd goods aboard
soe that the boates that brought them were fayne to depart with

rest of the shipps Company the better to perswade the shipps
Company to goe for Brazeele freely offer to advance the
wages of the Mariners of the sayd shipp and to add to the same
five shillings in the pound per month for every of their
