had weighed came to an anchor neare to and … had weighed came to an anchor neare to and about the ''Endymion'' in<br />
such manner as they had inclosed her, and secured her from weighing<br />
and sailing without their permission, and then hee saith it being<br />
made knowne to the dutch Generall that the said shipp ''Endymions''<br />
commannder (who then was the said Garrard) and company desired<br />
to saile her to Bantam to compleate her ronnage to goe for England,<br />
the said Generall prohibited such her going into Bantam Roade,<br />
but with much adoe, gave leave for her voate to be sent ashore, to<br />
give notice to the English Agent of her being there. All which<br />
hee knoweth because hee was aboard the ''Endymion'' the said time.
To the sixth and 7th hee saith that the said English Agent thereupon came<br />
from Bantam, and went aboard the said Generall, to get leave for<br />
the said shipp the ''Endymion'' her going into Bantam-roade to take in<br />
such goods as were there ready for her to be transported for England,<br />
but as the said Agent reported upon his retourne, the said dutch<br />
Generall would not permit her to goe thither, And thereupon the<br />
said Agent after hee had bin some space ashore at Bantam came aboard the ''Endimion'' willed the Captaine and company to fit the shipp and to<br />
weigh and to saile for Battavia, where hee hoped that his<br />
presence might (as hee said) effect somewhat with the Governour<br />
of the dutch, [?rendering] to his desires, and thereupon the said shipp<br />
sailed thither, and there the said Agent went ashore, to applie<br />
himselfe to the Governour, but afterwqards there came word from<br />
the said Agent, that hee could not prevaile with the Governour<br />
for the said shipps foing for Bantam, and thereupon the said Captaine<br />
and company were constrained with a very small quantitie of<br />
victualls, to set saile for England, the dutch not giving them<br />
time to stay to furnish themselves with such conveniencie of food for<br />
their maintenance and subsistence, as was necessarie for that voyage.<br />
By meanes of which premisses hee saith the said voyage was<br />
much disappointed, the shipp forced to retourne with much dead freight.<br />
the goods that were provided and readie for her lading at<br />
Bantam left behinde, the said English company very much<br />
damnified, and the English Nation dishonoured. All which hee<br />
knoweth for the reasons aforesaid.
To the eighth hee saith that while the said shipp the ''Endymion''<br />
soe lay under commannd of the dutch fleete about foure leagues<br />
from Bantam as aforesaid, the Captaine sent out his boate<br />
with some of his company therein to cutt a little wood upon<br />
an uninhabited Iland that was neere by, but the dutch (as<br />
hee saith) to show their power and greatnes in those parts<br />
fired a musket at the boate, and commannded her aboard the<br />
Generall, to crave leave for such their going and fetching<br />
of wood, which they were constrained to doe, or els they must not<br />
be suffered to goe ashore to fetch any wood, and as hee heard they had fired a Gun at her boate when shee was there before. And otherwise hee cannot<br />
depose.
To the 9th hee saith that the shipp the ''Mary gold'' arlateth that the shipp the ''Mary gold'' arlate +
