with y:e sd ship to Rochell but was at liberty to saile his
+
ship after her discharge of the salt at In?vernesse
+
where he pleased or at least to such as ?Maurice Trent<ref>Maurice Trent.  Probably Maurice Trent (b. ?, d. ?1700), merchant of Leith, Scotland.  Secondary sources, supported by primary sources, describe Maurice Trent as an English merchant resident at Leith, near Edinburgh.  He appears to have been a Quaker, and was active commercially from probably the 1650s.  Mauirce Trent shipped sugar from Barbados to London, as mentioned  in the ''Registry of the Privy Council of Scotland'' in February 1662 (?1663), and purchased land in West New Jersey in 1664, after the area had been taken from the Dutch.  A separate Maurice Trent, brother of James Trent; both sons of William Trent of Inverness, moved to Philadelphia before 1681.  There were also probably related Trents in Barbados (David Dobson, ''Scottish Emigration To Colonial America, 1607-1785'' (Athens, GA, 2004), pp. 52-53)</ref>//

the delivery of y:e salt at ?Innernesse y:e sd MauXX
+
Trent would not nor did lade y:e goods in y:e sd ship to
+
be carried to Rochell in regard there was no good market for

them there but he beleeveth that in y:e moneths arlate

+
lade aboard y:e sd ship y:e ''Grase-mower'' XXXX XXXXX XXX
