forth of his cabbin in the sayd stormes untill after the sayd shipps<br />
mayne mast and shrowdes and tackle aforesayd were downe and blowne<br />
over board and gone and when hee did come the reason thereof<br />

with great force for five or sixe howers togeather in soe much that<br />
the sayd shipp and her ladeing and alsoe the lives of her company on board<br />
her were in extreame perill and danger of being utterly lost and the<br />
sayd Master and Company seeing the great danger they and the sayd shipp<br />
were in did conclude that the safest way to preserve the sayd shipp and<br />
ladeing from sinkeing and perishing in and by the sayd storme was to<br />
cutt the mayne mast and other her tacke over board, and according to<br />
the sayd conclusion and agreement the sayd shipps Company by order of the<br />
Master began to Cutt the mayne mast and then cutt the shroudes<br />
and stays of the mayne mast and the says shroudes and stay being cutt<br />
then and not before the mayne mast (although it were a new stronge and<br />
substantiall maste) brake in peeces a good way above the place where it was<br />
begunne to bee cutt (wanting the sayd shroudes and staye to guide, and<br />
uphold it) and were togeather with the topp mast and all the yardes and sayles [?XXXXX] and tossed over board and lost in the Sea which hee verily beleeveth it would not have done if the [?sayd GUTTER]<br />
