two Masters of the Trinity house to come on board and survey<br />
the goods left on board, and after they had surveyed the same<br />
saith the shipps Company then wrought and delivered all the<br />
goods then on board the sayd shipp having only somtymes<br />
some labourers to helpe instead of some of the shipps company who had occasion<br />
sometymes to bee absent and instead of some who were pressed from<br />
aboard into the States service, And futher hee cannot depose./es service, And futher hee cannot depose./ +
