to sea) that it is usually where the Master and his company fall into any<br />
sicknesse by reason of the dangerousnesse of the voyage, that the Master is<br />
by the Owners allowed for fresh victualls and extraordinaries for<br />
him selfe and Company And well knoweth that in the voyage in question<br />
made to Brazeele the sayd dobbins and this deponent and<br />
many others of his company had very dangerous and tedious fitts of<br />
sicknesse ins oe much that the sayd dobbins was forced to bee lett<br />
blood upwards of twenty tymes, and was in very great danger of<br />
death and this deponent was alsoe soe extreame sick of a feaver by<br />
reason of the heate of the Brazeele that hee was given over for one<br />

afterwards into a relapse thereof, but by Gods assistance escaped alsoe<br />
thereof, And three of the sayd shipps company by the dangerousnesse<br />
and Intemperature of the voyage dyed, and divers others were sick by<br />

was necessitated to expend a very considerable summe of money<br />
(byt what quantitie hee cannot estimate) in provideing fresh victualls<br />
and other necessaries and phisick for him selfe and company and<br />
by reason soe many were sick the said dobbins was forced to imploye<br />
