experience and knowledge that it is usuall and ordinaryin Spaine and particularly<br />
at Cadiz and Saint Lucars for merchant strangers of all nations to lade and export<br />
greate quantities of silver thence notwithstanding the danger: and that heretofore<br />
greate quantitities of silver have bin exported from the said ports of Spaine<br />
for England and fflanders and other forreigne ports without Registring at the<br />
said ports of Spaine, which hee knoweth because hee hath longe lived in Spaine<br />
as aforesaid, andused merchandize there, and<br />

and some without, as this deponent<br />
hath observed and taken notice of by communication with merchants, and as<br />
hee hath bin credibly informed. And otherwise hee cannot depose.

the parties to whom it goeth consigned will trust and beleeve them that have soe<br />
laden it by a fictitious name to be their owne, and in substance the<br />
fictitious name is only for the prevention of discovery, but noe body<br />
