att the tyme of the lading his goods on board the sayd hoy ''Primrose'' was<br />
att full liberty att his owne choise to have laden his goods upon any other<br />
hoy or vessell; And he beleiveth that the sayd Brandling Stot nor<br />
Blomfeild nor any of them did desire or advise to lade his goods in the<br />
''Primrose'', nor did indeed know that he did lade any thereon. And<br />
otherwise<br />
he cannot depose.

To the 1. Interrogatory. he saith he was Master of the sayd hoye and on board her when the<br />
sayd storme happened. and the sayd hoye in her sayd passage from this port for<br />
Ipswich the tyme in question cáme within four leagues or twelve miles<br />
of Ipswich water interrate. And further, saving his foregoeing deposi=<br />
tions to which he referreth himselfe, he cánnot otherwise than negatively<br />
depose.
To the 2. Interrogatory This Rendent saith he doth well remember that there were<br />
shipped att this port on board the sayd hoy the ''Primrose'' whereof this Rendent<br />
was Master for the sayd Titus Complayne and to be delivered to him att Ipswich<br />
a chest of sugar, and certayne Casks of Tobacco and other goods. and a<br />
parcell of [?pay]. And the sayd Complayne was to pay freight for the same<br />
to him this Rendent. But he saith he knoweth not, nor can depose for<br />
whose accompt the sayd goods were, nor the quantityes of them, or their kind<br />
and quality otherwise than as aforesayd, nor the value or price of them<br />
or any of them. And this Rendent sayled with the sayd hoye and goods in<br />
her towards Ipswich and cáme to anchor off of the [?Spilts] waiting for the<br />
next flood, but in the meane tyme the weather became tempestuous and forced<br />
the sayd hoy from her anchor which was there lost. And then being driven<br />
as farr as the [?Sladway] he this Rendent cast out another anchor, but<br />
in the night tyme the storme increasing broke the cable, and drave (sic) the sayd<br />
hoye upon the Coast of fflanders neere to Graveling where being forced<br />
upon the sands she was bilged, and thereby she and her lading [XX XXXX] lost. And<br />
otherwise he cannot answer.
To the 3. Interrogatory he saith that the usuall Company for the sailing of such an hoye<br />
betwixt this Port and Ipswich is a Master, a Mariner and two boyes. howbeit sometymes<br />
especially in the tyme of impressing of Mariners such vessells are mannaged<br />
by a Master and three boyes. And otherwise he cannot answer.

from this port, and were all on board her in the sayd passage, and coming<br />
to the fflandrian shoare in manner as aforesayd. And he beleiveth that the sayd<br />
vessell was sufficiently manned, and that the storme was so violent that had<br />
she bene much better manned she could not probably have escaped the<br />
foresayd disaster or have arrived in safety. And further, saving<br />
