Ipswich at or before the first day of<br />
May 1634 and served in her untill about the<br />

and then by the consent of the said Gurlinge at the<br />
Barbathos went to worke aboard of a small<br />
Pinnace which ws blowne off from that Island<br />
by extremity of weather, and since that tyme<br />
hee never saw the said Pinnace nor any of her<br />
Company, but for what wages Gourlinge shipte<br />
the said [?SXX terme] or what hee received twoards<br />
the same hee knoweth not, for that there was not<br />
any [?qurt] on his wages paid since this<br />
examinate came to bee Master of the said shippe<br />
And hee sfurther sayeth that the accompte<br />
now by him given into the Registry of this<br />
Court under his hande, is a true accompte<br />
of the freight that was or is due for the said shipp [?XXXX]<br />
hee came to bee Master of her, and the<br />

three and twenty monethes before little more or lesse, and since the shippe<br />
came to London this examinate repaid to his widdow in<br />
part of his the said Beacons wages twelve<br />
pounds five shillings, but whether hee received<br />
any thinge before of Gourlinge this [?hee]<br />
cannot expresse, nor cann hee expresse<br />
for what wages hee was shipt, but conceiveth<br />
that hee well deserved five ad thirty shillings<br />
sterling a moneth for his service in the said<br />
shipp and voyage, And this hee affirmeth<br />
uppon his oath to bee true;/
