the said soe boates lay all as aller were the shore and not in
the middle of the streame of his knowledge then being none of
the said trinckes

Ad quintum affirmat vera esse that the said boate of Eareth articulate came betwixt
two of the said Trinckes aforesaid, and kept not the streame
as they ought to have don whereby they might have indangered
them selves or the trincks of fowle weather had then happned
of this examinates certaine knowledge Reddens rationem ut supra

boate of Eareth rowed uppon the flod and came betwixt two
of the said Trincker boates and passed by them, and were

and by reason that a fore brand was bay out of Goodwife

sawe the tide boate turne backe and heard some in the
boatt say they had two peeces and that they would shoote
at the Trincks and lay them on bord

Ad septium affirmat that if the articulate Hugh Lear or any other
were hurth in the said tide boate at the tyme aforesaid
yt was was in theire owne defalte for that the tide boate
returned back to small the Trinity, when as the tide
boate was good past the Trinckes and might have continued

not returned back, ffor as he saith if eany hurt was

saile as hee imagined and told his company thereof and willed
them looke out, and they answered they sawe her and that she
was a saile coming before the winde, and in regard thereof as
alsoe for that he was entered into deepe water and had broken his
strupp of his yard rope and was busy in mending the same, he
never regarded or looked after the said saile any more/

Ad septium affirma vera esse that the saile which this examinate espied
coming before the wind as aforesaid was the foresaid Christofer
whereof the said Henry Marsh was master, And for that this
examinate with his hoy came from the north and his course laye
south south west he kepte his directe course towardes the porte of London

had a faire winde this examinate regarded not the Christofer neyther
looked after her, but kept on his directe course and runne away
with his hoy with in flowing sheete having then no other
course in respecte his rope was broken, and verely thought that
the Christofer would have come out a sterne of him having no
other way at that tyme if the Master thereof had don him selfe
right and this examinate also of this examinatescertaine knowledge then
being oMaster the said hoy the Anne

Ad octavum attestatus vera esse  that the said Henry Marsh uppon

sterne and splitt them quite of, and with the violence of the
blowe this examinates said hoy suddenly foundred and suncke with her
whole lading into the sea and were lost of this of certaine
knowledge

Ad nonum affirmat he heard after hee came to London by some of
the company that were in the said Christofer that the said Marsh
the Master and he that was at the helme were at [?XXXXXXX]
howe and which way they might steere thence theire hoy ffor the
Master willed him at the helme to steere soe as they might
come out in the sterne of this examinate, and he theat steered the
hoy thought yt better to come out a heade of this examinate as
this examinate heard as aforesaid, And he verely is perswaded it is true
that they in the said hoy the Christofer were at such
[?XXXXXX], or otherwise  they could not possibly have over ran
this examinate and his said hoy for that he at the helme yf he had
so mente might easely have come out a sterne of this examinate at

or unskilfulnes suddenly ran uppon and souncke this examinates said
hoy and her lading, before this examinate had eany suposition of danger
or could eany way possibly avoide yt ut dicit

his merchants beinge advertised thereof, mighte not gett longer
tyme of the owners, and this examinate answered, no doubt the

To the third he knoweth that Josua Downinge stoode against the
carrienge of Turckes in the Josua as much as in him lay, and
was verey desirous to have her laden for Englan, and dealte with
William Pate to that purpose But because he perceived there was
an intente in the said Pate to kepe the shipp longer then

the Josua and tould the mariners that the owners would
not pay them wages longer then the 15 monethes for which
they were hired, and therefore wished them to [?forse] how they
should be paid if they served longer then the tyme appointed
And thereuppon the mariners wente a shore to William Pate
his chamber to knowe howe they should be paid theire wages if
they served longer in the shipp then theire tyme, And the said
Pate made them answere that if they would be quiett
they should be

thinge they did But by whom those speeches were used
he remembreath not

Hickocks wente into the field to fighte uppon some brablinge
speeches that past betwixte them about the said Downinge and
other comparisons made betwixte them

by diverse speeches he hearde, and by the little familiarity
they had one with the other And more to this article he

and come for London, excepte the dispatches were very speedy and
the winde faire

To the 9th he confesseth he brought a letter from Silvanus Man

confessed of Josua Downinge by whom this examinate sente yt

to bringe him away And he also sayeth that John Andrewes
who wente into the Josua in Downinges roome wa a sufficient
man of his labor and in healthe when he wente into the Josua
And the said Downinge was sickly When he came into the Swan
and so continued about thre weekes

required Mr Pate to call the said Downinge before him in this
examinates presence But he remembreth he heard the said Man tell the
said Downinge, he made more [?XXXX] then needed, and that he
mighte be quiett if he would, and this as he remembreth was
in Mr Pates chamber, and the said Downinge used many speeches
there of greate discontentemente that he was not regarded or
accompted f And he remembreth that Mr Pate then sayd he did
not intende eany other but that the Josua should presently be laden
for Zante or England after she came from Scanderoone

To the 7th he sayth he doth not knowe whether the Josua
were taken or appointed by the Emire of Sidon to goe for
Scanderoone But thinketh that if the said Emire did or
would take upp the said shipp, the said Pate could not
with saffety deny yt And he knoweth that the said Emire
did the laste yeare compell a french shipp to serve him at
Barowta.

To the 8th he cannot depose Savinge he hath heard since

Josua when she was taken

To the 9th he knoweth nothinge thereof

To the 10th he cannot depose

To the 11th he sayth he doth not thincke that Silvanus Man
is of such a disposition that if the shipp were released and under
his chardge, that he would become a pirate and run away
with her to Tunes and forsake his cuntrey

To the 12th he confesseth that Josua Downinge hath often
