London with the benefitt of the tyde of fludd And hee saith that before the damage<br />
in question happened and while the ''Mary'' arlate was to the Northward at a good distance<br />
from the ''ffreeman'' but within such a distance as the Company of the ''Mary''<br />

called out to the Company of the ''Mary'' arlate and willed them to put their<br />
shipp a stayes and told them if they did not soe doe the same would runne fowle<br />

the ''ffreeman'' by putting their shipp a stayes, or by steereing her to the<br />
Northward shee being but a smale shipp which might have shoared without any<br />
danger, whereas the ''ffreeman'' was a great vessell of above fower hundred tonnes<br />
and drew above sixteene foote water and could not goe neere the shoare without great danger and hazard of the losse of her and her ladeing And this deponent<br />
verily beleeveth and is perswaded in his conscience that what hurt or damage<br />

of the ''Mary'' and not by any fault in the Master and Company of the ''ffreeman''<br />

And further hee cannot depose
To the last hee saith saving his foregoeing deposition to which hee referreth<br />
