cast away by the violence of the sayd stormes, And hee saith that what damage
soever is happened to the sayd shipps ladeing in her passage from Scanderoone
to London happened meerely by reason of the violence of the sayd stormes
and the seas workeing over her decks, and not through any defect or fault of the sayd
shipp or her Company, or want of sufficient and good stowage, the premisses hee
deposeth for the reasons aforesayd being an eye witnesse of them, and
