of raisans of the sun, and one hundred eightie two peeces
of peece raisins or thereabouts, at the rate and price of
fourtie foure shillings per cent for the barrells, and twenty
seaven shillings per cent for the peeces, which hee knoweth
because hee this deponent at the instance of the said buyers
weighed them off for them the said buyers Mr Browne
and Mr Boylie and since the delivery of them by their order#

[LH MARGIN] #and sawe the [?bills] of
parcells mentioning
sale of those goods at
those rates,/

And their deponent was credibly informed and beleeveth
that the said parcells of raisans were brought to London in
a ship called the Noahs arke, which was said to come from
