of the yeare, and unseasonableness of the Climate att that tyme [?considered]<br />
the master and Company of the ''Hopewell'' using their utmost diligence and<br />
endeavour might have taken in all her lading she was to take in att<br />
Antego in 20 dayes and not in lesse tyme as he verily beleiveth. And<br />
otherwise he cannot depose.

afterwards taking them up spent about 2 howres and not upward. and<br />
after the sayd 2. dayes the sayd master once and noe after sett the<br />
sayd nett of tortoises and therein spent about one houre and not more<br />
and severall tymes afterward caused 2 ship boyes to sett and draw the<br />
sayd nett, and saith they sett the same about sunset in the evening<br />
and tooke the same upp before sunrising in a morning, and therein spent<br />
about a dozen howres and noe more, and saith none of the sayd tyme was<br />
as he beleiveth spent wastfully but very profitably for necessary<br />
supply of provisions. Ans saith about .7. of the Company went to cutt wood<br />

To the fifth he saith there was Company and helpe enough for the receiving<br />
the sayd lading aboard as fast as the Coopers could fitt the casks, and all<br />
possible diligence was used as aforesayd in the worke, and it could not be<br />
done in lesse tyme than it was, and saith that considering the want of<br />
Coopers to fitt the Casks there was constantly as many hands attt worke<br />
as could usefully be imployed, And saith in case there had bene want<br />
of men yet partly in regard of the season of the yeare for planting and<br />
