and the masters having paid the duties of lights and anchorage, weighed
and with their shipps set saile to goe the West way out and when they
were come somwhat past Yarmouth, were taken with a calme
whereby they were occasioned to turne back and come to anchor under
Yarmouth, and all this while of their being in the Ile of Wight they saith the arlate Captaine Welch
was in their company with his vessell of warr and went from
Cowes and come back to Yarmouth with them and that when the winde
[?served] againe and that they were departing from Yarmouth alsoe and [?haul]
their anchors aboard, and had taken their leaves of the Castle, the
said Welch shott off a Gun and commanded them aboard him,
whereupon the said foure masters went aboard him to see what hee
would have, carrying their passes and documents with them, which
they showed unto him, All which hee knoweth, being one of the said
foure, namely master of the said shipp the Winbeck, And saith the
premisses were and are true. And further hee doth not depose.

To the third, fourth, and fifth articles hee saith and deposeth that
by the said Sea-Passes and documents they made it appeare to the
said Welch that the said shipps and goods were belonging to hamborowe
and were going to Portugall, howbeit hee detained them, and sent
this deponent and the other three masters ashore, and there caused them
to be detained prisoners, and while they were soe there detained,
hee saith they were there severally interrogated and examined in
writing, wherein this deponent for his part declared that his said
shipp belonged to hamborough and that his goods were belonging to
hamburgers (as the truth was they were) and were bound for
Portugall to be delivered for hamburgers accounts, and the like hee
beleeveth the other masters declared, All which notwithstanding
and albeit it was cleare to the said Welch and some of his owners
(who now were come to him, and whereof Captain Greene was one)
that they were hamburgers and their goods belonged to hamburgers,
yet they would not dismisse them, but threatened them with longe sute
and demanded much money of them for their libertie, And they
being upon a voyage with perishable goods as wheate and other goods and in hazard to loose
their market and have their goods spoiled, were forced to yeeld to
give five and twenty pounds sterlinge for the libertie of each of the
said foure shipps and goods, and not having much money, they
said welch and owners sent aboard their shipps and
took severall goods thereout, namely out of this deponents said
shipp about a last of wheate, foure barrells of beefe, a parcell
of cheeses, and as much money as made the said goods to
the valew of twenty five pounds sterling, and from the Catherin
whereof hendrick meyer was master they alsoe tooke wheate
and alsoe other goods, to the valew in all of 25 l sterling as this
deponent heard the said hendrick affirme, and from the other two
shipps they alsoe exacted and had the like valew as their masters
affirmed, namely from each 25 lsterling in valew,
and this exaction they saith was
against the said masters wills, and they were forced thereto to paid
likewise to prosecute their voyage. All which hee knoweth being
one of the said masters, and seeing the premisses soe donne. And
otherwise hee cannot depose.
