To the first and second articles of the sa … To the first and second articles of the sayd allegation hee saith that hee<br />
being Gunner on board the shipp ''Plough'' the voyage in question<br />
knoweth that in the moneth of January last in the passage of the sayd<br />
shipp homewards from the Westerne Islands to the Port of London<br />
shee had much stormie and tempestious weather And saith that on<br />
the seaventh of the sayd moneth of January last shee mett with such a<br />
storme of winde hayle and rayne (that lasted for above twenty fower<br />
houres) that shee thereby shipped much water the sea breaking often<br />
over her with that violence that this deponent and others were up to the<br />
knees in water upon deck, and one sea brake in at the sterage (sic) doore<br />
and runne downe into the Gunne roome and the sayd shipp and ladeing by reason<br />
of the violence of the sayd storme was in great danger of perishing<br />
as alsoe were the lives of her Company And saith that afterwards<br />
upon the thirteenth of the sayd moneth the sayd shipp being gott in or neere<br />
the Channell articulate and in Company of the ''Prudent Mary'' articulate<br />

Master of the ''Plough'' and his Company were for their necessary defence<br />
and in order to the preservation of the shipp and her ladeing and<br />
company from being taken by the dunkirker forced to open her<br />
Ports and the weather being very stormy and the sea running<br />
very highe shee thereby unavoidably tooke in much water<br />
at her ports and saith shee being gotten cleere of the dunkirke<br />
man of warr who had driven her to the Northward of<br />
Scilly was upon the sixteenth of the sayd moneth forced to carry<br />
a pressed sayle thereby to get about to the Southward againe<br />
and to keepe from the Lee shoare, by meanes alsoe whereof<br />
(the winde and weather continuing still very stormie and the<br />
sea still running very high) the sayd Noyes the master and his<br />
Company were forced for security of the shipp and goods and<br />
their owne lives to open the hatches of the sayd shipp ''Plough''<br />
to take out her cables and bend them to her Anchors that they<br />
might bee in a readinesse upon all occasion And the hatches<br />
being open hee saith the sea brake in at the hatchway and<br />
the shipp thereby alsoe tooke some store of water the<br />
premisses he deposeth of his sight and knowledge And further<br />
to these articles hee cannot depose/

question was and still is a tight strong shipp and fitt for<br />
the voyage shee was imployed in And what dammage as happened<br />
to any of her ladeing hee saith was occasioned by the stormie<br />
and Casualties afore deposed of and not by any insufficiency of<br />
the sayd shipp nor fault or neglect of the articulate Noyes the<br />
