To the .20th. he saith he did never command any Convoy in the Streights, nor<br />
doth he know what the Course or usage of Convoyes is ˹XXXXXXXX˺ it being seldome<br />

left of for severall yeares last past. And touching the case of not<br />
following the Convoy and a losse thereupon he referreth himselfe to the<br />
law whether any punishment be to be inflicted or not.
To the 21th. he saith that all Convoyes are sent out purposely by the State<br />
to conduct and sećure shippes from an enemy. howbeit he beleiveth that<br />
it is free for any man to putt him selfe under such Convoy or to sayle without<br />
it unlesse hee have Order from his principalls to sayle with the same.<br />
And this Rendent for his part, as he hath predeposed, would in the case<br />
propounded, keepe himselfe exactly to the Order of his principalls. And<br />
otherwise he ćannot depose.
