Peter Vandeput acknowledged that he personally had encouraged the two men to import silver bullion to London, they having been nervous of confiscation. Specifically, he stated that "before the lading of the silver in question namely about two yeeres since and severall other times this deponent received letters from severall Genoveses, where by they desired to be by him advised whether they might not safely send silver or Bullion to London and without danger consigne the same to him, or to the same effect". Peter Vandeput had responded that "deeming (besides the furtherance of commerce) that hee should doe good service to the Commonwealth, did thereupon write to and encourage them to send silver, and for their further encouragement therein this deponent caused the Act of Parliament made for import of bullion, to be translated into Spanish and sent the same unto them and hee referreth himselfe to the said Act of Parliament for importation of silver".
