'''Hi Joshua,
A very good shot.
I have a … '''Hi Joshua,
A very good shot.
I have a few comments
-- Well done putting the date of your transcription into the metadata<br />
-- In the status box, it should also read "Uploaded image; transcribed on 14/01/2018" (I have done this for you)<br />
-- "Pointe-Pearle"<br />
--"to witt" (i.e. that is, of to the effect)<br />
-- Captaine Laurence Browning (no need to itallicise, since not a ship)<br />
-- Where a ship name, like "the Francis and John" is split over two lines, a quirk of the wiki code requires you to close off the itallics at the end of the first line and reopen them on the second line, then reclose, where you would normally close<br />
-- the ship is called the "Postillion"<br />
-- "a small shedd built against the common place of <br />
easement for the Souldyers of that quarter, which was a very noisome<br />
unhealthfull and inconvenient place"<br />
-- Countrey has an "e"<br />
-- "to eate drinke or sleepe"<br />
-- Put a second carriage return before "To the 17th and eighteenth Interrogatories..." to get one line space<br />
-- "Interrogatories"<br />
-- "he this examinate"<br />
-- "a Protest of the tenour..."<br />
-- People do not need to be itallicised (e.g. Robert Skinner)<br />
-- "well and assuredly knoweth being a sufferer and<br />
actor in the premisses" [premisses = the things which have been deposed about and are premissed, i.e. the facts of the case]<br />
-- "Bantam"<br />
-- "Ordnance" (no 'i')<br />
-- "the said shipps continued fastened together"<br />
-- "they came within miles" (the last word 'miles' is unreadable, but you can get it by going to next page where it is repeated as the first word of that page)
