Mariners of his Company And saith hee this deponent had aboard
the sayd shipp at her seizure for his owne proper Accompt sixe
parcells of pepper which makes eight hundred and two pounds weight
of pepper, which if it had come safe to England (it being all white
pepper) would there have yeilded fowerscore pounds and fower shillings
sterling, and hee had also then aboard her a thousand [?Lampoone]
[?canes] which at London if they had come safe thither would have
yeilded fifty pounds of like money, And farther hee cannot
depose not knoweing the quantitie of the other ladeing nor what to
value the same at only hee knoweth that it did amount to a
very great summe, beside the dollers which were aboard at
her seizure.

To the 11th Interrogatorie hee saith that Bantam is scituate on an Island
called Java Maior which is in length about a hundred leagues and
not halfe soe broad as longe and that Bantam hath in it about two hundred thousand people and soe farr as this deponent could
observe the dutch had not above five or sixe shipps which laye before
Bantam,

are severall Islands as Sumatra and Pullagunda which lye not farr
distant from Bantam and have a constant and dayly recourse by way each to other they to Bantam and Bantam to them
of trade with pepper and other Commodities, and soe
had during the tyme of this deponents being at Bantam And it
was dayly frequent with the Bantamers to send out (notwithstanding
the seige of the dutch two or three hundred fisher ?Prowes to fish
up and downe in the Seas beyond the places where the dutch shipps frequently lay
which returned usually at Evening without any preiudice doe to them
by the dutch And hee saith that the Captaine of the dutch shippe
who seized the Postillian did declare to this deponent (hee askeing
them whether the warr with the King of Bantam were betwixt the
States of the United Netherlands Provinces and the sayd King,) that
the sayd warr was only betweene the dutch East India Company
and the sayd King And this deponent in the tyme that hee was a
prisoner at Batavia being called before the Generall their and his Councell did argue
that as a reason, why hee this deponent and his sayd shipp ought to bee
released for that the dutch Captaine who seized her had confessed
to him this deponent that the warr with the King of Bantam was not
a nationall warr betweene him and the States of the united Netherlands
but onely between him and the dutch East India Company,
(who as this deponent then sayd were only private persons) whereto one of the Councell replyed
and sayd it is noe matter for that wee will make you an example,
for
