Ad 4:um deponit that the said ffrisby in the beginning of the said voyage was
sickly and for some space could doe but little service, and the said Archer
soe poorly clad and soe unprovided of clothes, that for some space hee was hardly
in case to come upon the decks or able to endure the rigor of the cold, but
before they went from Portsmouth they the said ffrisby and Archer got into a
better condition of clothing, and this deponent heard the said ffrisby say that
the said Master had supplied him with mony towards the charges of his sickenes
and clothing, and beleeveth hee also supplied the said Archer, not knowing
where hee should get that Supplie. Et alr nescit.

Ad 5, 6 et 7 deponit that the said shipp in her course of proceeding went
from Civita Vecchia to Zant and Cephalonia and tooke in curranse, and
came thence back to Ligorne, and while shee was soeat Ligorne the said
ffrisby and Archer went and staid ashore five dayes and nights together drinking and
frequenting houses of lewdnesse, and soe neglected their duties aboard and
the ships businesse, and the said ffrisby as this deponent heard him say sold
a hammer ashore and a chissell or some other tools, towards his supplie
with spending money, and saith that other five of the said shipps company
likewise idely keeping company with the said ffrisby and Archer,
the said Master as this deponent heard went and complained of them to the English Consul
there, and [?atthat] the said Consul went and threatned the men of the house
that hee [?bound] them, and that they being all seaven(after a little while
they the said man had determined them under a Court of [?guard] for his
pay) set at libertie, three of them came aboard, but the said ffrisby, and
Archer and two others staid behinde, and came not afterwards aboard,
although they came neare to the water side with those three that soe came aboard
and might then have come aboard with those three in the shipps boate w:ch
was then ashore. And further that through such want of her man who were
soe ashore, the said shipp was in danger both of ffrench shipps
that were there, and what ffrench and dutch might arrive, before the danger
by fowle weather, by which meanes of ffrisbies departing the said shipp
the said Master was necessitated to hire and did hire another Carpenter
one John Malum to serve at his stead for England, by which desertion
by the said ffrisby and Archer, the said shipps strength was
abated, and soe her homewards proceeding was the more dangerous
both to shipp and goods in regard of ffrench dutch and otherwise
Et alr nescit
