Comonly reputed this hee so better knoweth being hired by the sayd Ewens<br />
and goeing a foremast man of the sayd ship the voyage in question./
To the 2 article hee saith that in the moneth of January 1648 the sayd ship<br />
''Scipio'' was bound from this port of London upon a tradeing voyage to<br />
the Streights and other parts neere adioyning and soe to returne to this port<br />

the sayd shipp at here goeing out had noe designe of goeing to Brazeele<br />
or any other parts of the West Indies as this deponent beleeveth for that<br />
the sayd Ewens hyred this deponent only to goe from London upon a tradeing<br />
voyage to the Streights and back thence to this port of London, and made then<br />
noe mention of her goeing to the Brazeele or any other parts of the West Indies<br />
And further hee cannot depose not being privie to the hyreing of any<br />
other of the shipps company nor knowing at what rates or upon what<br />
conditions they were hyred/
To the 3: 4th and 5th articles of the allegation hee saith that before the goeing<br />

they were hyred hee knoweth not but saith hee this deponent was hyred<br />
at the usuall rate of a voyage from London to the straights which was<br />
twenty three shillings per month or twenty two and six pence hee remembreth not well which And saith hee knoweth the sayd ffosse Tucker and<br />
howgate as alsoe this deponent and the rest of the ''Scipio'' her company<br />
proceeded upon her voyage from London to Genoa in the Straights and<br />
there discharged her outwards ladeing and there tooke in some goods and went<br />

freighters for that new voyage acquainted his shipps Company<br />
therewith, who not being hyred for any such voyage were most off them<br />
unwilling to goe the same and refused to goe the same as being as ?they<br />
?conceived an unlawfull voyage for that thereby they should ?endure the<br />
hazard of being taken by the hollanders which were then at difference[?s GUTTER]<br />
with the Portugueses in whose behalfe that voyage was to be made and<br />
also be reason of the unhealthfullnesse of the voyage it being beyond the<br />
lyne and to the south latitude about fifteene degrees, whereupon the sayd<br />
Ewans seeing the unwillingnesse of the company to goe the sayd voyage<br />
to Brazeele did publiquely upon the deck of the ''Scipio'' in presence of<br />
this deponent and his precontets Pinshurst and Bryant and divers others of the<br />
sayd shipps company to encourage them the more readily to undergoe the<br />
sayd voyage voluntarily promised to advance every ?one ?of Companyes wages<br />
five shillings in the pound per month from that tyme during the sayd [?voyage GUTTER]<br />
over and above the wages hee had agreed with them for when hee shipped<br />
at London, and to pay every of them their wages then due till [?that GUTTER]<br />
tymen due till [?that GUTTER]<br />
