for Amsterdam, and therefore this deponent intended to retourne in her from
Cadiz to Amsterdam. And saith this deponent went only passenger in her
and hee [?laded] some goods in her for his account And otherwise hee cannot depose saving the said shipp would have gonne right

To the third hee saith the said shipp carries eight and twenty guns, and soe
many were in her when shee was seized, but her burthen hee knoweth not.

To the fourth hee saith that the said shipp departing from Amsterdam lay
two or three monethes in the Texell to take in goods, and expect winde and

about the nineth or tenth (new stile) of the same moneth shee arived

mainetop, and did not see her carry or put it out at any other time, but

saith there was not at Amsterdam or in the Texel any report or speech at
all that ever hee heard or beleeveth that the said shipp belonged to Spaniards
or was to goe from Cadiz for Santa domingo to be a Spanish man of warr
for such report hee saith had not bin truth, if any such had bin. And further
deposeth not.

To the sixth hee saith that there were about fourtie persons of the said shipps
company, and to his remembrance about twelve passengers, of which
such as this deponent knew were hollanders, and there was not any of the
passengers that was a Spaniard or fflandrian or other subiect of the
king of Spaine that this deponent knoweth of, nor was any of the shipps
company such soe farr as this deponent knoweth.

To the seaventh hee saith there was noe Spanish Captaine or master of the
