well knoweth her to be of the fashion and forme of building usuall at Lubeck
and other Ports in the East Countrey about 10. yeares since, for that the fashion
of the said Countries in building of shipps was generally observed to be more rude
unpolished and of heavy and full timber, and that of the United Netherland of a
lighter handsomer and more polished and neate composure, And so much hee saith
