To the seaventh hee sith that when hee came first aboard her as aforesaid there was, wine, [?linnens], pepper, and other [??spicerie] hatts, [XXXX GUTTER] and other goods aboard her, being of her outward cargo, and saith hee is soe farr from beleeving that the said shipp came with the said goods from holland, that it was commonly said shee came from Spaine, and soe hee beleeveth, and saith the said outwards ladingbeing taken out and disposed of in the said Indies, there were there taken into her Indico, hides, sassaperilla and some few other things, And otherwise hee referreth himselfe to his former deposition. To the eighth hee saith that when the said shipp under saile was neere Lundy Iland this deponent descried two other shipps under saile but what they were, or what colours they carried hee could not discerne nor did they make after the ''Hope'' that hee could perceive. And further hee cannot answer. To the nineth hee saith that upon sight of the said two shipps, hee saw the said John Lopez take papers written tearing them and then [?wrap] them up together and throw them out at a window or hole of his cabbin into the sea, but the contents hee cannot speake of, not knowing as aforesaid to write or reade, and saith there was none other then present but the said Juan lopez and this deponent And further hee cannot answer.

And further saving as aforesaid hee cannot depose. To the eleaventh hee saith hee was not at Trinidad with the ''Hope'' nor saw her there, And otherwise as aforesaid hee cannot answer saving negatively for his part.
