and rate aforesayd there was and is due for the same the summe
of four hundred millres. And further that besides the sayd
four monethes and sayd twentye dayes there were twentye dayes
more spent in her stay att Angola for her necessary repair of
such dammage as she sustayned in the sayd service for he saith
that the sayd Governour keeping this deponent as a prisoner in Angola
his people and such as he intrusted with the management of the
sayd shipp in that service rann her, as should seeme, upon the
rockes and did splitt her sterne post and broke off the Irons
