And further deposeth not saving as aforesaid.

To the fifth hee saith that hee beleeveth it was never knowne that ever
any Spanish Admirall had power to free any shipp that traded in the Spanish
West Indies, unlesse it were made appeare unto him that shee was upon the
account of the king of Spaine or such of his subiects as had leave immediately

by wofull experiences, And further hee cannot depose saving as aforesaid.
