the Coast frigats falling foule of her as it was said before y:t time
at Gravesend. And saith that upon such their viewing
her, they found that a small piece of her head was
only broken off by the Coast frigat, w:ch was noe
hinderance unto her at all in her sayling, foreasmuch
as she (the s:d ship John & Katharine) had after y:e s:d damage XXXX before
this dep:ts viewing of her made a voyage to Virginia
