howers space after hee soe came aboard and then after his anger<br />

To the 7th article hee saith that after the arrivall of the shipp ''Peace''<br />
at Saint leserns in ffrance the sayd Luke Woods being gone on shoare<br />
to provide salt to lade the sayd shipp and having<br />
?sent severall boates with salt, which were receaved on board.<br />
the sayd Woods did about the fifth or sixth of May 1657 send<br />
fower or five boates (more than what had formerly bin taken aboard)<br />
with salt, and they being come to the shipp side the sayd Grove the<br />
Master being aboard turned two of the sayd boate loades of salt<br />
back againe and would not receave them aboard, saying his shipp<br />
was at her load marke with what good hee had allready receaved<br />
aboard her, and therefore hee would take noe more salt aboard,<br />
and thereupon tooke this deponents Penn and Inke and writt a noate<br />
and delivered the same to one of the boatmen whose boate loads<br />
of salt were not receaved aboard and willed him in this deponents<br />
sight and hearing to give that noate to Mr Woods (meaning the foursayd<br />
Luke Woods) the contents of the sayd noate this deponent knoweth not<br />
but as the sayd Grove told him this deponent the content thereof<br />
was to lett the sayd Mr Woods knowe that the sayd shipp was fully<br />
laden with the goods shee had on board and that therefore hee could not<br />
take those two boates of salt more aboard And further to this article<br />
he cannot depose knowing nothing touching what dammage the sayd<br />
Woods suffered by the sayd Groves turneing back the sayd salt.
To the 8th hee saith hee knoweth that the shipp ''Peace'' being at<br />
Leserns aforesayd and ready to sett sayle thence the arlate Luke<br />
Woods did with fower of the shipps company goe on shoare to make<br />
even (as hee sayd) his Accomptes that soe hee might bee in a readines<br />
to depart and that the shipp might not stay for any occasions of his, and<br />
saith the sayd Grove did alsoe goe on shoare but whether with the sayd<br />
Wood or a little before or a little after him hee remembreth not<br />
And further hee cannot depose to the contents of this article, for that<br />
hee this deponents being boatswaine was busied about fitting the<br />
shipp and soe went not on shoare, nor heard what the sayd Grove then<br />
spake on shoare./
To the 9th hee cannot depose saving hee saith hee remembreth that<br />
