'''(1us'''
'''Anthony Philp''' of the parish of Saint Buttolph<br />
Bellonsgate London Marchant, aged 40 yeares<br />
or thereabouts sworne and examined.
To the first article hee saith that the arlate Rocus [?Parvé] was and<br />
is an Inhabitant of Rotterdam, which hee knoweth for that<br />
this deponent lately sent over<br />
his sonne thither to him, to be by him the said Rocus placed out there at<br />
schoole; and hee well knoweth that hee correspondeth alsoe with the<br />
producent mr Robinson, this deponent having seene letters that have<br />
bin written and sent between them as correspondents, and for an Inhabitant<br />
of Rotterdam, a dutchman and a subiect of the States of the United Netherlands<br />
hee the said Rocus [?Parvé] was and is commonly accounted. And otherwise<br />
hee doth not depose.
To the second article hee saith and deposeth that in or about the<br />
moneth of October last past the said George Robinson wrote over<br />
to Rotterdam unto the said Rocus [?Parvé] desiring him to freight a<br />
dutch shipp from thence for Cadiz or Saint Lucars to lade oranges<br />
and lemmons and bring thence into the downes there to receive the said Robinsons orders and alsoe to write over<br />
to his the said [?Parvé's] factor or correspondent at Cadiz or Saint Lucars<br />
to lade the said shipp with oranges and lemmons, and all in<br />
his the said [?Parvé's] owne name, in regard of the differences betweene<br />
England and Spaine, and ordered (by his said letters) the said [?Parvé]<br />
to drawe bills of exchange (for payment for the said oranges and<br />
lemmons) upon him the said Robinson for account of whom<br />
and company, the said oranges and lemmons were really to be laden,<br />
and who was to give order for disposall of them when they could<br />
be brought into the downes. The promisses hee deposeth<br />
because the said Robinson advised with this deponent (before his writing)<br />
touching the said freighting and voyage, and afterwards showed him<br />
his letter written to the said [?Parvé] thereabouts.
To the third article hee saith and deposeth that the said Rocus [?Parvé]<br />
shortly after such writing by the said mr Robinson, retourned another<br />
unto him (which this deponent sawe) purporting that hee had received<br />
his letters and would effect the contents thereof, and by another letter hee<br />
wrote to the said Robinson that hee had according to his said order<br />
freighted a shipp for him there named the ''Armes'' of Brill (whereof<br />
Martin Williamson Rosse was master) as in the name and for the<br />
service of him the said [?Parvé], but in truth and deede for him the<br />
said Robinson, and had sent her for Saint Lucars or Cadiz to lade oranges<br />
and lemmons, and that hee had ordered Gilbert [?Melso] his<br />
factor or correspondent in these parts to lade the said shipp with<br />
oranges lemmons and corke, and send her therewith to the downes<br />
and order the Skipper there to expect orders, whither hee should thence<br />
carryhither hee should thence<br />
