of the sayd King of Spaine, arriving there about the 25th day of

and a new maintopmast for the Harry Bonadventure and other necessaryes
to enable the sayd shipps to proceed to tunnis aforesayd which this deponent
knoweth for the reasons aforesayd and otherwise cannot depose.

To the .7th and 8th he saith the Governour of the sayd place and Officers of the sayd
Citty of Messina did hinder and would not permitt the sayd Captaine
