Ad 4:um deponit that the said ffrisby in t … Ad 4:um deponit that the said ffrisby in the beginning of the said voyage was<br />
sickly and for some space could doe but little service, and the said Archer<br />
soe poorly clad and soe unprovided of clothes, that for some space hee was hardly<br />
in case to come upon the decks or able to endure the rigor of the cold, but<br />
before they went from Portsmouth they the said ffrisby and Archer got into a<br />
better condition of clothing, and this deponent heard the said ffrisby say that<br />
the said Master had supplied him with mony towards the charges of his sickenes<br />
and clothing, and beleeveth hee also supplied the said Archer, not knowing<br />
where hee should get that Supplie. Et alr nescit.
Ad 5, 6 et 7 deponit that the said shipp in her course of proceeding went<br />
from Civita Vecchia to Zant and Cephalonia and tooke in curranse, and<br />
came thence back to Ligorne, and while shee was soeat Ligorne the said<br />
ffrisby and Archer went and staid ashore five dayes and nights together drinking and<br />
frequenting houses of lewdnesse, and soe neglected their duties aboard and<br />
the ships businesse, and the said ffrisby as this deponent heard him say sold<br />
a hammer ashore and a chissell or some other tools, towards his supplie<br />
with spending money, and saith that other five of the said shipps company<br />
likewise idely keeping company with the said ffrisby and Archer,<br />
the said Master as this deponent heard went and complained of them to the English Consul<br />
there, and [?atthat] the said Consul went and threatned the men of the house<br />
that hee [?bound] them, and that they being all seaven(after a little while<br />
they the said man had determined them under a Court of [?guard] for his<br />
pay) set at libertie, three of them came aboard, but the said ffrisby, and<br />
Archer and two others staid behinde, and came not afterwards aboard,<br />
although they came neare to the water side with those three that soe came aboard<br />
and might then have come aboard with those three in the shipps boate w:ch<br />
was then ashore. And further that through such want of her man who were<br />
soe ashore, the said shipp was in danger both of ffrench shipps<br />
that were there, and what ffrench and dutch might arrive, before the danger<br />
by fowle weather, by which meanes of ffrisbies departing the said shipp<br />
the said Master was necessitated to hire and did hire another Carpenter<br />
one John Malum to serve at his stead for England, by which desertion<br />
by the said ffrisby and Archer, the said shipps strength was<br />
abated, and soe her homewards proceeding was the more dangerous<br />
both to shipp and goods in regard of ffrench dutch and otherwise<br />
