scientia For hee this deponent being then abord teh said ship the May=
Flower and seeing the said Hickman soe causelessly abased as is
predeposed, and heareing the said Jacket give order that the said
Hickman should not be releived which said comand of his was accordingly
obeyed and observed. Et alr nescit deponere.

Ad 5. 6. 7. 8. rt 9um. arlos dicti lili deponit et dicit that after the premisses
the said William Jackett still continueing his malice against the said Hickman
did (as this deponent hath bin credibly informed, by the said shipps
Companie generally.) cause him to bee loosed from the forecastle and
to bee brought to the Maine Mast of the said ship the Mayflower where hee
caused his hand to bee made fast unto the maine halliars as is arlate and
then called for a Carpenters Mallett, which being brought, hee tooke the
same and a knife and delivered them to the arlate William Loader and
(in a most barbarous and cruell and inhumane manner as ever was heard on) did
comand the said Loader to take the said knife and with the Mallet to drive
it through the said Hickmans hand into the mainemast amidest his
bones and sinnewes as is aarlate up to the very heft thereof, which the
said Loader refuseing, and in regard hee neither understood nor heard of any reason
for such his the said Jacketts barbarous useage of the said Hickman, hee did refuse to doe the same
and to obey sich his unlawfull commands, whereupon the said Jacket
did threaten the said Loader that in case hee would not doe as hee had willed
hee should bee nailed to the mainemast himselfe through his eare;
And soe hee saith the said Loader (as hee himselfe hath since tould this deponent)
mearely out of feare of affliction upon himselfe and full sorely against
his will) at the instance and Comand of the said Jacket did drive
the said knife through the back of the said Hickmans hand into the maine=
mast as is arlate, the said Jacket standing by and seeing the same soe done
with the rest of the said ships Companie perceaveing they did supplicate and
beg of the said Jackett that hee might bee taken downe and not soe
inhumanely dealt withall, but the said Jackett wholley refused the same
and swore that he should either hang there whilest hee had torne his hand
through or else hee should perishe; as is arlate; Et ulterius deponit
that the said Jackett the more to afflict the said Hickman did cause
one of his hands to bee loosed and soe lett him hang a great while by
that hand only which the knife was driven through as is arlate
in a most miserable and lamentable condition; And saith that in all
the tye of his being used to goe to sea which hath bin by the space of
this 12. or 13. yeares hee never heard of the like inhumane punishment
inflicted upon any man by a master of a ship, for, that in all; hee the said
Hickman soe hung by the space of above an hower as this deponent hath
bin informed, The premisses hee saith hee sawe not soe done, being then
gone out in a shallop to buy Negroes, but att his retourne
was tould of the same by the said Loader and the rest of the said ships
Companie and sawe the said Hickmans hand to be wounded and
torne as is predeposed. All which was done by the said Jackett (as
the said shipps Companie likewise tould this deponent) without any iust
cause or offence att all given unto him by the said Hickman. Et
alr nescit deponere./

Ad 10um 11um et 12um arlos deponit et dicit that the Arme of the said Hickman
by reason of the premisses was (as this deponent was credibly informed)
soe swelled that it was ready to burst, the same being soe fast tyed
to the Mainemast of the said ship; which the Companie perceaveing and
seeing the said Hick,an allmost ready to perishe and fawl, they did
againe beg att and entreat the said Jacket that the knife might bee
taken
