That he came from Venice in Aprill last past in his sayd shipp<br />
''Madona de Miserecordia'' and arrived safely att Bristoll in<br />
the Commonwealth of England and thence travelled to London<br />
and hearing that the shipp ''Angelo Custode'' was come to<br />
the downes, he went downe thither to soe her Captaine being<br />
this deponents freind and acquaintance, and he came to<br />
dover about the eighteenth of August 1654. last past new stile<br />
att which tyme a great storme happened att sea, and by reason<br />
of the sayd storme and hearing that a shipp was in danger<br />
of perishing neere the harbour he went to the Pere and<br />
then and there saw the sayd shipp ''Angelo Custode'' was in<br />
haling in by a Cable made fast to the shoare, and saw<br />
that her head and boltspritt were lost and broken off from<br />
