and they would all goe ashoare togeather with the long boate and the other two smale<br />
boates that belonged to the sayd shipp or hee spake words to that effect but the forenamed persons and the others<br />

whereupon the sayd Captaine and those left with him being deprived of<br />
the long boate and having only two smale boates to escape in, durst not<br />
fyre or sinke the shipp as they intended, for that there were more men<br />

videlicet the sayd Peter Thomas and One Corley the Cooke of the shipp and a<br />
Swade and a dane whose names hee remembreth not) must of necessity<br />

Captaine was forced with those that were left with him to deserte the<br />
sayd shipp and make to shoare hee and soe many as could passe to shore in<br />
the sayd two boates, and leave the sayd fower persons aboard the shipp and<br />

away with the fower men left in her to the great preiudice of this<br />
state and to the strengthening of their owne fleete, which had not gone<br />
away therewith, but the sayd Captaine might according to his<br />
intention have either fired or sunke the sayd shipp and thereby<br />
deprived the enymye of any benefitt of her and have escaped.<br />
hee and all his Company safe to shoare in the sayd long boate and<br />
the sayd two smale boates And further to those articles hee cannot<br />
