and her departure thence, and forthwith after restitution this deponent

and this deponent laid out monies upon his said owners account
towards fitting and supplying her and her companie with necessaries
for proceeding thence; And further that the said Cock acknowledged
himselfe to be a hollander a subiect of the States of the United
Netherlands, and that most of his company were such, and that
hee had a Commission from the said States, and made the

hee cannot depose, saving the said producents have bin at
greate charge and losses by the said seizure, and that the said
restitution was made because it clearely appeared at
Cadiz that the seizure was made after the time limited
by the said articles of Peace. And further hee cannot depose.
