State of England and to the advantage and strengthening of the dutch
ffleete which had not happened if the
sayd persons had not gone away as aforesayd with the longe boate,
but then the Captaine might safely have put his resolution into act
of fyreing or sinkeing the sayd shipp and thereby prevented the Enymies
surprizall of her and yet have put him selfe and all his Companye
safely on shoare in the sayd longe boate and two other smale boates
And further to these articles hee cannot depose/

To the 9th hee saith the hercules the tyme arlate was of the
burthen of fower hundred and fifty tonne and upwards and had then
in her thirty fower gunnes and great store of provisions which
shee had newly taken in at Portsmouth And in his this deponents
Judgment and estimate shee and her tackle and furniture and gunnes and
provisions were then well worth fower thousand pounds sterling
or rather more And further hee cannot depose

To the 10th hee saith the hercules the tyme arlate was a hyred
shipp lett by her Owners to freight to the state of England for
[?their] service as a shipp as a shipp of warr, And hee verily beleeveth that
had shee bin burnt or sunke in the states service, and not come
to the hands of the Enymie by such meanes as shee did, the State
would have made her Owners satisfaction for her And
further hee cannot depose/
