belonged to her in former voyages and well … belonged to her in former voyages and well knoweth that during the<br />
sayd voyage she was a stronge tight and stanch shipp saving he saith that after<br />
her taking in her ladeing at Saint Martines arlate (whense shee came in<br />
company of severall other Merchants shipps about the 25th of March last<br />
under Convoy of the ''Saphire ffrigott'' and ''Constant Warwick'' who convoyed<br />
there till they came upon into the Channel upon the Coast<br />
of England to avoide the danger of dunkirke men of warr and other<br />
shipps of warr enimies to this Commonwealth) the weather proved<br />
very windie and somewhat stormie and the sayd Convoyes making haste to get upon<br />
the Coast of England the shipp ''willing Mynde'' being desyrous to keepe<br />
company with the sayd Convoyes to avoide danger of surprizall by<br />
enymyes the Company of the sayd shipp desyred the Convoys to slacken<br />
their sayles somewhat, that they might might the better keepe Company with them<br />
but the Convoyes being shorte of victualls (as they sayd) and desyrous<br />
to come as soone as they could upon the English Coast, did not slack their<br />
sayles, soe that the shipp ''Willing mynde'' was forced to beare sayle<br />
more then ordinary to enioye the benefit of their convoy and company,<br />
and by that meanes of soe having sayles hee saith the sayd shipp ''willing''<br />
''minde'' was soe streyned that shee thereby proved leakie and looke in or<br />
made much water, which the sayd shipps company could in noe<br />
wise prevent though they did their true endeavour at the pumpe to keepe<br />
her as drye as possible they could, and plyed the pumps constantly of<br />
this deponents sight and knowledge, soe that in case any damage did happen<br />
to any of her lading the same was not occasioned by any defect<br />
or insufficiencie in the sayd ship or fault or neglect of her Company but meerely by her soe bearing<br />
sayle to keep company with the sayd Convoyes and avoide the danger of<br />
surprizall as aforesayd And he saith it is usuall that laden shipps<br />
if they bee forced to brace more sayle then ordinary to keepe company as the ''Willing Minde'' then was (though otherwise they<br />
bee tight) doe prove leakie with over bearing of sayle and the same cannot<br />
bee by their Masters and Companyes avoided And further to these articles hee<br />
cannot depose./
To the 5th hee saith that being Masters mate aboard as aforesaid the voyage<br />
in question hee well knoweth the sayd shipp ''Willing mynde'' by such her<br />
bearing sayle more then ordinary did keepe with the sayd Companyes till<br />
shee came in the Channell by which meanes she was freed from<br />
danger of men of warr and arrived in safety in this port of London saving<br />
for what harme happened to her or her ladeing by bearing sayle as aforesayd,<br />
and saith if shee had not soe borne sayle and by that meanes<br />
kept company with the sayd Convoyes shee had bin in great danger to<br />
have bin surprized by men of warr of dunkirke and other places and to have<br />
bin wholly lost shee and her lading And further hee cannot depose/
To the last hee saith his foregoeing deposition is true
