To the third article hee saith and deposet … To the third article hee saith and deposeth that in the said shipps last<br />
voyage but one to Spaine, namely in the yeare 1650 or thereabouts this deponent<br />
was one of her company and was in her at Cadiz, and that then and there<br />
shee was commonly taken notice of said and knowne to be a shipp of<br />
hamborough and thereunto belonging, and to have her owners there dwelling<br />
and not at Amsterdam or elsewhere save hamborough. And otherwise shee<br />
cannot depose.
To the fourth hee saith that the said Mathew ffransen was and is<br />
a person of soe meane and slight a condition, thatthere is noe likelihood<br />
hee should be owner of any shipp or part of a shipp, much lesse any<br />
part owner of a shipp of soe greate a burthen as the ''Salvador'' was and<br />
is, namely of 160 lasts or thereabouts, and from her first building<br />
was designed for and hath used a greate trade; ffor hee saith the<br />
said ffransen is a very meane person, and one that is not very<br />
well in his understanding and senses as this deponent conceiveth, for<br />
hee will some times goe up and downe the straetes in a distracted fashion<br />
and is looked upon as a slight person, yet a good workeman in his trade,<br />
and being soe a good workeman, the said Cloppenburgh imployed him<br />
as other skippers did. And saith the said shipps owners were and are<br />
all commonly accompted merchants of hamborough of good fashion and<br />
dealing, foure whereof namely daniel Brandes Jerome [?Switger]. Jerome<br />
Peterson and henderick hambrooke this deponent knoweth to be such'<br />
and saith that persons and marchants of soe eminent condition as they<br />
are willscarse ever suffer any poore or meane person (such as the<br />
said ffransen is) to have any share or part in any shipp where they<br />
are owners. And otherwise hee cannot depose.
To the 5 hee cannot depose, for hee was not in the said shipp the<br />
''Salvador'' in this her last voyage.
To the 6th hee cannot depose, for hee was not at Cales the last voyage<br />
as aforesaid of the said shipp.
To the 7th hee cannot depose for hee left the said shipp at Amsterdam<br />
in the foresaid yeare 1651, and went home to hamborough, and came not<br />
afterwards into her till about eleaven monethes since, at which time<br />
hee came againe aboard her here in the River of Thames.
