threatened to give now quarter to their Companyes and to fyre the sayd shipps if they<br />
refused the delivery of them And further saving his foregoeing deposition hee cannot answere

saye that the gunnes both of the ''Indeavour'' and the ''Mary'' and their Cables and Anchors were taken up out of the<br />
water and preserved on shoare by the duke of Oldenburghs order<br />
and that some of his subiects did of this deponents sight steale and cut away<br />
the sayles of the sayd shipps and bring them into the City of Oldenburgh<br />
