any other person whatsoever that the said shipp and goods were

or that hee spake any words to the same or like effect. And denieth also
that ever hee desired the said Masters Mate to stand his friend, as is arlate,

to Mr Arnold Beake Two of which letters hee the said Hobbs read before sealing thereof
after sealing this deponent gave two of the same to
Mr Hobbs to bee sent to the post house which letters were never delivered
but were by some meanes or other intercepted by Captaine Stainthwaite, and this
deponent sending the other two by a messenger to Plymouth, the said Stainthwaite mett
with the said Messenger and tooke the said letters from him, and about two days after came
to this deponent and told him that hee had mett with the messenger and had cut and
secured him and seized upon this deponents letters and then also shewed this deponent
the said letters. And saith that the arlate Hobbs is the owner of the man of
warr arlate that seized the said ship Swedish Lyon and for and as such commonly
accounted and reputed. And that the said Hobbs hath confessed to this deponent
that hee stood engaged for the mony that bought the said man of Warr. And
