Cable made fast to a Capstane ashoare did with helpe of men<br />
hale the ''Angelo Custoda'' by main force into the harbour of dover<br />

great quantity of water so as she was neere five foot deep<br />
of water in the hold wheereby her lading as afterwards did<br />
appeare were very much damnifyed. And ten of the Mariners<br />

ballast, and that soone after the sayd vessell sett aground<br />
and [?belayed] herselfe and oversett so as she could not be saved<br />
or raised agayne; she then having about thirty tonns of<br />
brimestone in her. And being veiwed it was in the Judgment<br />
of workmen impossible to raise her, and that she could not be made<br />
serviceable, her keele, bottome and timbers were [?soXXX] broken.<br />
