both of Master and Mariners in such Voiages are usually augmented,<br />

more than ordinary for ffresh Victualls, And further knoweth not./
To the 11th hee saith, That besides the freight due unto the Owners in case of<br />
voiages from and into places and ports within and without the straights, there is usually<br />
some allowance to the Masters of shipps and there Companies, which [XXX]<br />

care to bee had and taken in the said voiage, which consideration was to bee<br />
over and besides the freight and averidges before expressed, and without<br />
prejudice to or abatement to be made from their respective Owners and so<br />
