The premisses hee deposeth upon the reasons ensueing, that is to say, for that

well knowne the trade and negotiation of Edward Peters, was in the
yeare 1652 predeposed at Antwerp, where this deponents settled residence is, and where
the said producent before the tyme that the said shipps were taken showed unto
this deponent letters of advise and bills of lading which hee had receved from his

lading now perused by him punctually to agree with other nyne of the same respective
tenors seized in the said shipps, and now remaining in the Registrie of this
Court where this deponent hath often seene and perused them, hee is fully and
