receyved great dammage as is hereafter specified, And saith the sayd<br />
Romanello finding his vessell so shaken and hurt and many of his men<br />

for hamburgh procured the principall leakes to be stopt, and having<br />
recovered all his anchors and canles, (one new cable and one great anchor<br />

whereby she was presently filled with water, and her bottome and timbers<br />
did appeare so shaken and broken that in the Judgment of Caarpenters she<br />
was not worth the repairing, howbeit the losse brimstone was most of it<br />
