Transcription

that hee the said ffransen might be his saile maker and furnish his shipp the
Salvador with such newe and repaire such old sailes as shee stood in neede of
which request the said master of the Salvador at the first denied as taking the
said ffransen to be a slight fellowe, but afterwards understanding him to be
a good workeman, hee upon the said ffransens second request condescended,
and then the said ffransen served the said shipp with severall
newe sailes, blocks and other materialls belonging to his trade, and
mended her old sailes, all which hee knoweth being one of the
said shipps company and privie to the premisses and hearing and
seeing the same soe donne, And this deponent afterwards sawe the
said Cloppenburgh pay the said ffransen severall summes of money
for his said worke and stuffe to the summe of an hundred Rix
dollars or thereabouts, and the said Skipper had (as hee beleeveth)
noe other dealings or doing with the said ffransen but in the way aforesaid,
nor had the said ffransen any relation to the said shipp but
as a workeman imployed in the way aforesaid of saile making and mending
nor was or iis hee as this deponent beleeveth any part owner of [?that]
said shipp. And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the third article hee saith that the said shipp the Salvador during all
the time that shee remained at Cadiz in the yeare 1652 was commonly
said, reported and esteamed to be a shipp of the port of hamburgh
and to be belonging to that and noe other port, and saith there was there
noe reporte or common voice that shee was bound with her lading
there taken in for Amsterdam, or was belonging to Amsterdam, which
if there had, hee verily beleeveth, being one of her company hee must
have heard thereof, And otherwise hee cannot depose.

To the fourth hee saith that the said Mathew ffransen was and is a
poore person of lowe ranck and condition and for such commonly
accompted and reputed, and such a one as is very unlikelie to
be part owner of any shipp, much more unlikelie to be a part owner
of soe considerable a shipp as the Salvador is, which hee saith is of
about 200 lasts burthen, and otherwise cannot depose, saving
her owners are commonly said to be merchants of hamborough and
other hamburgers of good qualitie, such as probably would not have
a poore or meane person a part owner with them.

To the fifth article hee saith and deposeth that hee was one of the
company of the shipp the Salvador aforesaid for the space of a yeaare
and halfe next before her seizure, and continued in her about two
monethes after her seizure by the shipps of this commonwealth in
all which space hee saith shee had but one trumpetter of or belonging
to her and hee was named and continually called Goyke Luders
and about two monethes after her seizure both this deponent and the
said trumpetter Goyke Luders desirous of imployment
left her, this deponent to goe to sea in another shipp and the said
Luders to goe home (as hee said) to [?Bremas], and hee saith hee
is well assured that there was not any trumpetter in any part
of
