thense for New England and thense for the … thense for New England and thense for the Canarie Islands, thense againe for<br />
the Barbada's and thense for England, and that shee soe proceeded [?in GUTTER]<br />
the imployment of mr Cowse laden with severall goods and Merchandizes<br />
wherewith hee saith shee came to the coast of<br />
Portugall, about eight or tenn days after such her proceeding<br />
the downes, and there beate to and againe about two dayes<br />
with good weather to looke for and gaine the Port of Port a Port aforesaid, and then [?hee GUTTER]<br />
saith there came a violent storme with the winde west on west [?XXX GUTTER]<br />
which drove them neere the shoare and neere the Burlings and into greate danger of loosing<br />
their shipp and mens lives, through the said stresse of weather;<br />
and saith there was a necessitie and soe the arlate daniell Jeggles<br />
master of the said shipp acknowledged to have a pilot to goe and [?carry GUTTER]<br />
the said vessell over the said barr of Port a Port, and that if they<br />
could have spoken with ffishermen whom they espied off<br />
the said port they had gained the same the night before the said<br />
storme by the said ffishermans pilotage, but they suspecting<br />
(as it seemed) that the said shipp was a Turkes man of warr<br />
would not come to speake with her, but ran away while shee made<br />
up towards them, and saith that after the said storme was over<br />
the said shipp made for and gained the port of Lisbone, and<br />
there hee saith shee tooke a pilote, and made thense for<br />
Port a Port, and after about three monethes space that shee was<br />
hindred by adverse windes and fowle weather, gained the same,<br />
None of which miscarrying and missing the said port of Porto at<br />
the first hee saith ought to be imputed in his iudgement to the<br />
said Jeggles his unskilfulness or insufficiencie in his acts but [?to GUTTER]<br />
the shifting of the winde, the premisses hee deposeth being<br />
boatswaine of the said shipp and shipped upon the designe<br />
aforesaid, and on board when the premisses happened. And<br />
otherwise hee cannot depose, saving hee saith there was some<br />
mistake in over shooting the port of Porto aforesaid, which<br />
overshooting happened in the night by the winde blowing crosse<br />
off the shore, and it being doubted the winde would come<br />
Southerly, made the masters mate (who had the watch) pr[?esuming GUTTER]<br />
(as hee conceiveth) to shoote that night the more towards the<br />
southward, meaning in the morning to gaine<br />
the port of Porto back againe, whereof hee was prevented by the windes coming Northerly
To the third hee cannot depose.
To the fourth hee cannot depose, saving the said shipp in her<br />
voyage from Barbadas for New England delivered wines at Nevis<br />
but what quantitie hee knoweth not, his booke not being nowe in<br />
his custodie.
To the fifth article, hee saith that the said daniel Jeggles [?XXX GUTTER]<br />
after his retourne from New England to Barbadás was<br />
by Edmund Cowse ordered to goe with the said shipp to<br />
Virginia to carry goods thither, namely about eight pipes of<br />
winemely about eight pipes of<br />
