to

that

That

the

is

therefore
I
may
fitly

For

So

we

I

I

conueid

from

could

I
was
compeld

:
necesstiy
hath
no

and
to
this
misery
I
was
enforced
to
obey
three

when
I
continued

some

brusing

In
all
whi●…h

,
I
had
occasion
inough
offered
me
,
to
haue
laid
repentance
at
my
heart
,
to
haue
sorrowed
for
my
iniquities

and
to

I

so
consecrate
my

I

re●…orme
my

when
on
the
contrary
this
affliction
of
my

did
not
so
chastise
my
minde
,
that
I
imputed
this
correction
,
to
be
laid
vpon
me
by
the
hand
of
heauen
,
as
a
iust
whip
for
my

past

but
the
continuance
thereof
did
so
harden
my

so
fire
my
spleene

inflate
my
spirit
,
that
I
vowed

liberty
gained

should
be

that

Then
since
the
lawe
as
from

fountaine

hath
had
power
to
drawe
my

from

the

may
haue
a

condemne

words
vttered

request
of

this
,
that
since
my

shall
haue
power

the

affliction
,
my

may
haue

and
if
any

shall
desire

I
desire
him
to
wash
from
his
memory
the
staines
of
my
name
,
here
shall
he
read
my
diurnall
transgressions
,
which
I
request
him
to
pardon
and
not
to
reprooue
,
since
no
curre
is
so
cruell
to
bite
the
dead
,
here
as
in
a
mirror
shall
he●…
looke
into
my
miseries
handyworke
,
my
sinne
,
my
sorrow
,
my
life
,
my
death
,
and
the
building
of
my
owne
labour
,
begunne
from
the
time
I
was
brought
by
the
Sherefe
of
Middlesex
to
Newgate
,
wrought
vpon
in
the
Marshalseyes
,
and
conclude
most
vntimely
at
Wapping
.
For
my
place
of
birth
then
I
must
call
it
in
Bristoll
where
my
education
was
such
,
as
did
credit
my
louing
and
carefull
father
,
and
was
obeyed
by
me
as
a
dutyfull
sonne
:
I
grew
vp
like
a
streight
plant
,
and
was
expected
of
the
worthiest
of
that
Citie
,
and
hoped
sor
of
the
best
of
my
countrye
,
to
haue
prooued
the
timber
of
a
fruitfull
trée
:
my
company
to
our
gentry
was
accounted
so
welcome
,
that
they
esteemed
me
for
pleasure
,
more
then
expenses
,
and
the
contempt
I
held
to
assosiate
with
the
base
,
had
brought
my
faire
de●…aner
to
be
beloued
of
the
best
.
So
that
my
fellowship
intirely
desired
,
and
my
condition
held
honest
,
my
father
was
proud
to
call
me
his
happy
sonne
.
In
which
flourishing
expectation
in
my
youth
soiourned
in
Bristoll
,
where
I
so
farre
preuailed
in
the
loue
of
our
Marchants
,
that
I
was
soone
encouraged
to
goe
to
sea
,
the
first
imployment
I
vndertooke
was
more
to
see
the
state
and
fashions
of
forraine
countries
,
and
to
inrich
my
vnderstanding
with
experience
,
then
any
greedines
of
gaine
,
to
strengthen
riotte
.
So
that
in
her
late
memorable
maiesties
reigne
,
when
the
diuision
of
league
was
betweene
this
kingdome
and
Spaine
,
I
went
but
Purser
sent
forth
in
a
man
of
Warre
of
Bristoll
▪
in
which
charge
of
mine
how
carefull
I
gouerned
,
let
my
owne
hand
neglect
to
record
,
and
the
Marchants
themselues
when
my
body
is
in
dust
,
impartially
report
,
I
neuer
returning
home
but
with
sayles
of
successe
profitable
to
the
venturers
,
comfort
to
my
father
,
and
credit
to
his
sonne
:
whereby
from
degree
to
degree
deseruing
aduancement
I
was
at
length
set
forth
as
Captaine
my selfe
,
in
which
commaund
ab
oad
howe
manly
I
swayed
let
my
enemies
pratie
that
haue
felt
me
at
sea
:
which
credit
lent
me
,
how
well
I
repaid
,
let
Bristoll
speake
,
that
in
this
my
extremitie
hath
labour●…
my
peace
&
pardon
(
euen
with
the
price
of
eight
hundred
pound
)
felt
of
my
purchase
and
feasted
my
paines
.
I
haue
sate
with
the
Aldermen
when
my
fathar
hath
wept
to
heare
them
discourse
,
and
the
teares
he
hath
shed
(
against
the
nature
of
childhood
)
hath
encouraged
my
valour
as
if
I
would
say
,
father
of
me
thou
shalt
weepe
againe
.
But
death
must
haue
no
praises
,
and
though
successe
being
like
a
spring
tide
,
that
rolles
so
high
,
till
it
ouerflow
the
bounds
,
I
was
as
auidous
to
goe
to
warre
,
as
my
stomacke
hungry
I
had
an
appetite
to
eate
:
I
complaind
of
nothing
,
for
I
held
my
wounds
the
banners
of
heraldry
borne
before
me
to
my
graue
,
and
all
my
study
was
how
to
make
my
father
in
his
death
but
be
comforted
by
his
son
,
and
the
sonne
to
reioyce
as
in
such
a
father
.
Your
pitie
Reader
then
is
but
this
,
neither
of
father
nor
of
sonne
:
pitty
the
father
,
that
hath
lost
him
he
loued
,
and
reioyce
in
the
sonne
that
hath
sinned
and
laments
.
But
to

,
hauing
in

For
while
I
lay
plunged
in
this
sea
of
affliction
,
cloide
with
misery
and
without
hope
of
releefe
,
It
fortuned
one
Captaine
Bishop
,
with
a
wealthy
prise
he
had
then
tane
,
to
put
in
for
Tunes
,
and
in
a
small
time
hauing
made
sale
of
his
goods
,
he
hauing
(
by
what
rumour
I
neuer
v●…derstood
)
ha●…
intelligence
of
my
thraldom
there
,
of
my
extreame
vsage
,
and
in●…ortunat
mishap
,
of
his
own
frée
nature
he
enquired
me
out
,
and
demanded
of
me
if
I
were
that
Captaine
Harris
so
talked
of
in
Bristow
,
who
had
bene
so
fortunate
to
inrich
others
,
and
was
now
deiected
in
this
misfortune
my selfe
?
when
hauing
little
pleasure
to
heare
my
prayses
spoken
,
or
vnmindful
to
renew
their
memory
by
talke
,
but
rather
desirous
of
some
comfort
to
supply
my
present
want
,
although
I
euer
held
it
a
contemptible
basenes
to
begge
:
he
demaunded
twice
ere
I
made
him
an
answere
,
till
at
length
,
the
report
of
the
place
,
my
mother
,
country
,
nurse
,
and
raiser
,
and
the
present
memorie
of
my
ancient
father
,
being
by
his
question
put
in
my
minde
,
I
resolued
him
thus
:
What
I
was
he
witnessed
,
what
I
had
bene
by
his
owne
tongue
belike
had
heard
,
what
I
might
be
(
vnles
a
dead
man
)
in
my
present
case
he
could
hardly
guesse
,
yet
not-withstandnig
all
this
,
I
was
borne
at
Bristoll
:
who
bring
struck
presently
with
an
in-ward
pity
,
to
se●…
me
lye
chayned
inso
miserable
a
case
,
so
deformed
without
hatre
on
my
head
or
face
,
so
ghastly
in
shewe
,
so
hollow-eyd
,
and
so
pined
away
in
flesh
,
I
might
perceiue
the
teares
to
startle
in
his
eies
,
while
his
hand
priuately
into
mine
put
fiue
duckets
,
and
departing
the
prison
,
he
spake
to
me
thus
,
be
of
good
cheere
Sir
,
God
hath
in
store
,
in
our
greatest
neede
,
and
friends
no
doubt
but
will
be
your
helpe
,
when
I
,
not
without
cause
,
thanking
him
for
his
present
curtesie
,
without
demaunding
his
name
,
or
little
expecting
his
kindenes
succeeded
,
for
that
instant
we
were
both
deuided
.
When
Capta●…ne
Bishop
,
as
he
hath
often
related
vnto
me
since
,
being
●…eturned
backe
to
his
chamber
,
he
was
struck
with
a
forcible
impression
to
the
heart
in
pity
of
my
state
,
and
the
oftner
remembring
what
Bristoll
had
spoke
of
me
,
he
vowed
to
his
soule
he
would
proue
my
●…nlarger
,
if
al
the
riches
he
had
but
lately
broght
in
,
might
purchase
my
ransome
,
with
which
curtesie
of
his
(
oh
let
no
man
forbid
me
to
commend
him
,
although
for
his
offences
like
mine
he
deserues
to
be
condemned
)
he
neither
telling
me
of
his
purpose
,
feeding
my
hope
▪
or
flattering
my
expectation
,
he
so
labourd
with
the
Crosimon
and
Gouernours
of
Tunis
,
that
for
three
hundred
d●…ukets
,
which
he
franckly
paid
ere
I
knew
by
what
meanes
or
by
whome
I
was
set
at
liberty
,
when
in
a
generous
disposition
,
inuiting
me
to
his
lodging
I
had
my
entertainementin
such
forme
,
as
my
present
fortunes
had
equald
his
,
where
in
regard
of
my
long
captiuity
,
he
was
as
my
Phisition
,
to
minister
to
my
health
,
allowing
me
all
meanes
possible
,
and
commaunding
withall
that
nothing
were
wanting
might
repaire
my
body
to
a
strengthned
estate
:
which
when
I
found
to
be
in
my selfe
,
as
he
had
perfectly
enabled
me
within
,
(
according
to
my
degree
,
and
the
dignitie
of
his
bounty
)
with
variety
of
sutes
he
repaird
me
without
,
so
that
one
day
after
being
alone
together
,
being
iocund
and
frolick
,
for
in
al
societies
he
accounted
me
his
friend
and
companion
,
he
on
a
suddainebrake
with
me
thus
.
Captaine
Harris
what
saist
thou
my
heart
,
how
art
thou
resolued
man
,
whether
as
occasion
shall
offer
thee
,
to
make
for
England
,
and
there
to
be
held
bold
and
beholding
to
thy
old
,
but
wauering
acquaintance
,
or
to
abide
with
me
,
&
venture
thy
fortunes
with
thy
certain
friend
.
It
is
not
strange
vnto
thee
,
that
since
the
late
death
of
her
memorable
maiestie
,
our
most
royall
Soueraigne
,
and
his
prudent
and
graue
counsell
,
on
approoued
considerations
best
knowne
to
his
grace
and
the
state
,
and
not
requisite
for
vs
that
are
subiects
to
enquire
,
hath
lessend
by
this
generall
peace
the
flourishing
imployment
,
that
we
sea●…aring
men
do
bleede
for
at
sea
:
In
those
●…aies
of
bickering
(
quoth
he
)
we
haue
spent
our
houres
in
a
high
floud
,
and
it
will
be
vnsauory
for
vs
now
,
to
pick
vp
our
crums
in
a
lowe
●…bbe
:
to
liue
in
basenes
,
and
want
meanes
euen
to
sustain
nature
,
to
walke
vnder
the
checke
of
some
such
as
haue
pearkt
vp
their
heads
to
authoritie
in
this
time
of
quiet
,
whome
we
durst
haue
buffeted
I
and
their
heyres
too
in
daies
of
warre
.
Then
say
,
if
for
England
thou
resoluest
thy
course
,
such
is
my
loue
to
thy
welfare
,
I
will
not
leaue
thy
company
,
till
I
see
thee
ashore
,
and
then
leaue
me
to
shift
for
my selfe
,
But
it
with
me
and
my
loue
to
thee
,
thouwilt
fasten
thy
fortunes
,
I
will
call
thee
my
brother
,
and
in
the
riches
I
haue
gayned
I
will
make
thee
a
sharer
.
With
which
speech
of
his
,
hauing
had
intelligence
that
his
purchase
was
great
,
seeing
his
riot
and
expenses
huge
,
and
hauing
found
his
curtesie
towards
my
misery
manifest
,
I
f●…und
my
inclination
yeelding
,
and
was
almost
caught
at
the
first
angling
,
yet
for
that
instant
,
I
desired
some
small
respite
,
to
consider
of
his
will
,
and
to
my
request
he
as
soone
consented
.
In
which
respite
,
nothing
diminishing
his
bounty
,
nor
neglecting
his
former
fauour
,
for
his
purse
was
as
open
to
me
as
to
himselfe
,
it
happened
that
one
Captaine
Gilbert
Roup
while
Captaine
Bishops
ships
anchord
in
the
road
,
and
he
with
his
men
did
reuell
▪
shoare
,
with
a
rich
prise
he
had
lately
tane
,
was
come
also
to
Tunis
:
betwéene
whome
their
acquaintance
being
former
,
there
was
no
neglect
of
gratulations
in
the
highest
imbracement
,
and
my
company
at
the
present
was
welcometo
both
:
when
againe
,
Captaine
Bishops
,
in
the
presence
of
Captaine
Roup
,
began
to
solicite
me
in
his
former
purpose
whose
words
were
by
Captaine
Roupe
as
readily
secunded
&
theeir
persuasions
so
inlarged
▪
being
as
I
thought
bound
euen
to
my
life
,
by
the
curtesie
of
the
one
,
and
fyred
now
also
with
the
riches
the
other
had
brought
in
,
neither
of
them
were
so
ready
to
aske
of
my
consent
as
I
of
free
will
was
foreward
to
graunt
:
whose
company
both
of
them
seeming
with
gladnesse
to
be
welcomed
,
Captaine
Roupe
hauing
made
sale
of
his
commodities
,
Captaine
Bishop
and
my selfe
reuelling
out
the
time
with
him
,
a
ship
well
mand
and
prouided
for
me
,
and
we
three
combind
together
in
one
faction
:
let
the
reader
thinke
we
a●…e
now
at
sea
,
whe●…e
we
thriued
so
succesfully
that
I
blu●…h
to
report
the
rapine
that
the
hands
of
so
fewe
did
execute
on
the
bodies
and
substa●…ce
of
many
:
onely
this
that
part
of
the
purchase
in
this
voyage
we
had
gain●…
wee
made
sale
off
at
Sophi
,
and
Sancta-cruci
in
Barbary
,
and
the
remainder
with
out
sailes
we
conueid
to
Tunis
,
when
Captaine
Bishop
,
finding
himselfe
not
per●…ectly
in
health
,
after
his
ease
and
superfluous
reuelling
here
a
shoare
,
nine
shares
of
our
pillage
being
deuided
betwéene
him
,
Captaine
Roup
and
my selfe
,
he
was
contented
for
a
while
to
continew
at
Tunis
,
and
Captaine
Roupe
prepard
his
ship
to
put
off
againe
for
Sophy
in
Barbarie
,
where
I
heard
imediatly
after
,
he
met
&
consorted
with
Captaine
Iennings
:
and
I
on
the
other
side
rigging
my
vessell
,
and
redying
my
men
:
Captaine
Bishop
then
,
neither
deducting
any
part
out
of
my
share
for
the
ship
at
his
owne
charge
he
had
furnished
forth
for
me
,
I
now
put
forth
for
a
voyage
my selfe
.
When
encountring
with
rough
winds
,
and
vnseasonable
tempests
,
and
my
men
many
of
them
falling
sicke
,
and
in
their
sicknesse
perished
,
with
the
best
expedition
that
experience
could
teach
,
with
the
rest
which
remained
,
we
made
way
for
the
coast
of
Ireland
,
and
ere
long
we
anchored
in
Baltimore
,
where
finding
that
coast
cleare
,
our
ariuall
out
of
daunger
,
and
our
entertainment
free
,
we
there
repaired
and
fresh
victuald
our
ship
,
and
there
receaued
in
the
most
part
of
my
present
company
namely
Iohn
Spencer
,
and
Thomas
Spencer
brothers
,
Samuell
Read
,
and
Richard
Baker
:
the
rest
which
I
then
tooke
in
,
being
not
now
taken
,
and
in
hope
they
may
liue
to
doe
their
King
and
countrey
better
seruice
,
I
hope
no
indifferent
man
,
will
condemne
me
for
concealing
their
names
.
With
whose
assistance
being
againe
strengthned
and
my
ship
in
fresh
plight
,
I
put
on
for
the
coast
of
Spaine
,
where
nere
the
Ilands
of
Meuera
,
I
met
with
a
french
ship
called
the
Margaret
of
Maruill
,
sayling
from
Lisborne
whose
chiefest
lading
was
suger
,
twixt
whom
and
vs
,
there
was
no
great
encounter
,
before
my
frenchman
(
although
he
seemed
somewhat
hot
at
the
)
first
began
to
submit
,
whome
wee
presently
boorded
and
ransacking
her
lading
(
which
as
before
we
discoured
was
but
sugers
)
we
found
her
beneath
to
be
better
stuft
then
aboue
,
for
at
the
bottome
of
her
hould
we
tooke
out
eight
thousand
french
crownes
,
and
so
much
of
her
chiefest
lading
,
as
we
thought
fit
for
our
present
sale
and
burthen
,
giuing
the
ship
backe
to
the
Maister
to
make
for
Fraunce
,
or
without
offering
to
him
or
his
men
any
other
hurt
.
After
which
keeping
still
at
sea
,
I
met
with
a
Duch
ship
,
of
a
farre
greater
burthen
then
my
owne
I
was
Captaine
of
,
whome
I
gessing
more
auailable
for
me
in
the
enterprise
I
had
in
hnad
,
I
compelled
him
to
change
with
me
,
more
for
feare
then
for
loue
,
&
so
gaue
them
leaue
to
depart
without
further
outrage
:
the
tenth
of
May
following
and
in
this
present
yeare
of
his
maiesties
reigne
,
I
met
also
with
another
french
ship
,
called
the
Mary
,
of
a
Marchant
of
Saint
Malos
laden
with
wine
,
twixt
whom
and
vs
there
was
a
small
fight
,
but
their
resistance
being
in
vaine
,
she
was
made
our
owne
:
when
Ierome
Lockey
a
fellow
though
poore
in
shew
yet
he
was
cruell
at
sea
&
foreward
in
fight
,
who
getting
downe
into
the
hould
(
before
I
had
notice
)
and
the
ship
had
yeelded
,
when
meeting
the
Marchant
,
and
perceiuing
his
lading
to
be
nothing
but
wines
(
not
of
my
knowledge
I
protest
before
God
)
he
tooke
three
or
foure
cable
ends
and
most
cruelly
I
confesse
abused
the
Frenchman
,
to
make
him
expresse
what
other
lading
then
was
extant
in
sight
,
his
vessell
contained
?
who
streight
brought
him
to
eight
hundred
Dollers
so
conningly
hid
,
without
which
course
I
faithfully
beleeue
wee
should
neuer
haue
found
them
.
And
which
summe
I
must
graunt
he
presented
to
me
,
the
coine
I
deny
not
but
I
willingly
receiued
,
yet
I
neglected
not
to
checke
him
for
abusing
the
man
.
Which
ship
,
and
the
riches
of
the
Margarite
I
had
taken
before
,
for
as
yet
I
had
made
no
sale
of
her
goods
,
I
had
aduised
my
maister
Peter
Brush
and
though
I
say
a
skilfull
mariner
,
to
bend
his
course
againe
for
Ireland
,
and
expressely
for
Baltimor
:
the
course
was
by
him
and
in
generall
disliked
,
since
wee
had
bene
their
so
lately
and
my
name
so
fresh
in
memory
about
the
coast
,
although
not
as
yet
proclaimed
for
a
Pirat
:
but
see
the
will
of
Heauen
,
that
against
all
persuasion
I
should
bea
maine
furtherer
of
mine
own
ruine
&
the
ouerthrowe
of
my
men
,
for
no
persuasion
nor
resistance
would
alter
me
,
but
our
course
must
be
readily
for
Baltimore
.
But
see
how
it
happened
,
the
Frenchman
whom
I
first
tooke
in
the
Margarit
and
the
Duch
also
whom
I
compelled
to
change
ships
with
me
,
hauing
made
for
England
,
had
deliuered
my
name
and
iniurie
done
vnto
them
,
to
the
right
honourable
of
the
Councell
,
as
also
that
not
long
before
their
surprisal
I
had
made
my
reside
&
victualed
my
ship
at
Baltimor
,
the
which
belike
amongst
diuers
talke
some
or
other
of
my
men
had
made
knowne
to
them
,
which
their
Lordships
vnderstanding
,
and
to
preuent
such
outrages
committed
to
their
neighbour
nations
and
friends
with
whom
they
had
league
,
they
presently
caused
one
of
the
Kings
maiesties
ships
,
ouer
whome
Sir
William
Saint
Iohn
was
Captaiue
,
not
so
much
alone
to
scoure
the
coast
,
and
surprise
me
,
as
to
preuent
that
place
,
to
be
a
nourisher
and
ayde
to
any
such
offenders
in
that
case
as
my selfe
.
Which
Gentleman
,
in
the
Kings
ship
lying
at
road
,
had
intelligencers
lay
vppon
the
mountaines
in
the
mouth
of
the
harbor
,
who
were
alwayes
ready
to
giue
him
instructions
of
the
neare
arriuall
of
any
man
of
warre
,
or
other
ship
whomsoeuer
:
when
to
my
fate
it
so
vntimely
happened
,
that
I
was
the
first
,
and
the
spies
by
the
bearing
our
topsaile
and
conducting
our
prise
,
had
giuen
him
to
vnderstand
for
certaine
,
there
was
a
man
of
warre
comming
in
,
who
presently
caused
his
ship
should
be
haled
vp
close
vnder
a
place
called
Iustice
Crookes
Castell
,
where
she
was
impossible
to
be
descried
,
&
least
our
espial
should
make
vs
keepe
off
:
So
that
we
were
on
the
sudden
fallen
withinhis
commaund
,
and
vnpossible
to
retire
ere
that
we
had
any
notice
to
be
forewarnd
,
or
power
to
resist
our
danger
,
in
which
distresse
not
without
much
terror
perceiuing
our
case
,
vppon
his
first
sommons
we
yeelded
our selues
,
when
Sir
William
Saint
Iohn
caused
his
long
boat
to
be
sent
out
to
vs
,
and
himselfe
in
person
came
vs
aboard
vnto
whom
I
did
(
as
(
at
my
arraignment
)
we
all
resolued
to
plead
this
excuse
,
)
that
being
as
true
it
is
,
I
was
prisoner
in
Tunis
,
and
from
that
thraldome
released
by
Captaine
Bishop
,
I
was
bound
to
obey
him
,
and
all
that
I
did
was
vnder
his
commaund
,
that
at
our
last
watering
at
Ballimor
,
Captaine
Bishop
was
in
our
company
,
which
now
I
must
confesse
to
be
an
vntruth
,
and
that
there
by
his
constraint
and
sleights
,
most
of
my
men
being
brought
aboard
and
by
him
compelled
to
vndertake
this
busines
we
hauing
now
got
this
aduantage
,
in
a
suddaine
storme
and
growne
sea
to
loose
his
company
,
our
purpose
of
comming
in
was
to
yeeld
our selues
:
not
doubting
but
his
maiestie
in
commisseration
of
my
estate
being
neuer
detected
before
,
bought
from
a
slaue
,
Bishop
being
Lord
of
me
,
and
compeld
to
his
will
,
I
should
sooner
obtaine
his
mercy
,
in
which
Kings
beare
the
tipes
to
be
Gods
on
earth
,
then
the
rigor
of
Iustice
,
which
hath
power
to
condemne
my
wretched
yet
innocent
life
,
and
that
himselfe
whose
worthinesse
I
had
heard
of
,
would
be
so
gratious
a
friend
to
the
integrity
of
our
cause
,
that
my
men
also
,
whom
I
then
protested
to
be
compeld
to
the
action
,
since
we
all
yeelded
without
any
violence
offered
,
himselfe
would
be
the
testimony
in
our
behalfe
:
Who
very
wisely
contested
vnto
vs
,
that
so
farre
as
our
dealings
had
bene
honest
,
&
our
iustification
true
,
he
would
be
our
friend
to
the
vtmost
,
and
our
foe
in
no
part
:
so
seazing
vppon
our
ship
and
goods
and
imprisoning
my selfe
and
company
,
wee
were
by
his
commission
directed
from
Baltimor
to
Dublin
,
from
Dublin
to
Bristoll
,
where
my
friends
morsorrowed
to
see
me
now
,
then
euer
they
reioyced
to
bee
hold
me
before
,
yet
neuer
neglected
to
visit
my
company
,
allowing
me
meanes
to
beare
me
like
a
Gentleman
,
nor
ceasing
since
both
with
purse
and
paines
to
haue
recouered
my
peace
.
But
what
before
I
had
so
cunningly
excused
,
by
the
prouident
and
searching
eye
of
the
Councell
,
was
found
to
be
faulty
,
andrruth
being
waighed
in
the
scailes
of
Iustice
we
were
found
too
light
,
so
that
hauing
remained
twenty
daies
in
Bristoll
,
I
was
from
thence
from
Shiriffe
to
Shiriffe
directed
to
Newgate
,
my
brother
comming
along
and
bearing
me
company
,
who
labouring
like
the
carefull
Bee
in
my
businesse
neuer
idle
,
solliciting
here
and
labouring
there
,
and
who
had
hopefull
expectation
and
promises
I
should
find
mercy
that
had
for
my
offences
deserued
none
,
I
built
not
yet
my
trust
on
so
shaking
a
foundation
,
but
although
to
supply
the
company
of
mymultitude
of
friends
whose
loue
came
daily
to
visit
me
,
I
bare
an
outside
of
mirth
,
I
h
ad
a
hart
peece
of
sorrow
,
&
considering
in
my
thoughts
how
I
had
wronged
the
stranger
,
and
those
whose
losses
I
could
neuer
right
,
how
I
had
vndone
many
&
had
but
a
lifeto
satisfie
all
,
I
desired
not
now
to
build
,
for
that
where
I
might
not
continue
,
but
labour
for
that
where
I
should
liue
for
euer
.
I
thought
it
not
requisite
now
,
to
forget
Heauen
for
earth
,
the
soule
for
the
bodie
,
nor
heauenly
pleasures
for
temporall
goods
:
I
acknowledge
now
that
in
a
worldly
building
the
stones
must
be
broken
,
hewen
and
squared
,
ere
they
be
fit
to
make
vp
the
worke
:
the
corne
must
be
thrashed
,
winnowed
and
purified
before
it
be
ready
for
nourishing
bread
:
the
whirlewind
must
first
blow
ere
Elias
be
rapt
into
heauen
,
so
euery
sinner
must
be
cut
,
hewen
and
squared
,
with
the
blowes
that
beat
vppon
his
guilty
conscience
,
be
threashed
winnowed
and
purified
with
prayers
,
repentance
and
amendement
of
life
:
and
sighes
must
make
way
both
for
body
and
soule
,
if
we
meane
ere
to
come
to
our
heauenly
Ierusalem
.
I
remembred
now
that
vncookt
meat
is
vnwholesome
for
man
,
and
vnmortified
men
be
no
creatures
for
God
:
which
made
me
in
my
chamber
in
the
houres
of
quiet
alone
,
neuer
haue
the
Pensiue-mans
practise
out
of
my
hand
,
nor
the
penitent
mans-practise
outof
my
heart
:
therefore
I
must
say
to
him
,
it
was
vrgently
done
who
informed
the
Counsell
,
that
the
Saterday
,
before
my
tryal
&
first
imprisonment
in
the
Marshalsies
and
in
my
imprisonnement
,
my
first
meeting
with
Captaine
Iennings
,
who
at
sea
together
did
call
brothers
,
and
being
with
him
but
orderly
mercie
,
he
reported
to
their
Lordships
we
were
mad
drunke
:
this
was
informed
to
be
done
,
and
whosoeuer
did
it
,
I
must
needes
tell
him
it
was
but
a
homely
message
,
since
it
is
no
good
nor
charitable
office
to
heape
vniust
iniuries
vppon
miserable
men
:
for
I
protest
,
I
had
that
testimony
in
my selfe
,
that
my
sorrow
had
washed
away
my
foulenesse
,
and
loathing
my
life
I
inuited
my
death
,
knowing
there
is
no
death
where
there
is
no
sinne
,
for
by
sinne
death
entred
into
the
world
,
and
the
wages
of
sinne
is
death
,
so
that
what
I
was
to
loose
,
I
was
sure
to
loose
as
soone
as
I
had
life
,
but
the
life
that
I
looked
for
should
neuer
haue
death
,
which
patience
and
resolution
of
mine
,
the
diligent
Preacher
that
both
labourd
and
found
in
me
I
doubt
not
(
for
truth
)
but
he
will
speake
and
confirme
,
which
Christian
end
of
mine
I
expect
,
that
insteed
of
me
it
shall
encrease
comfort
in
my
friends
,
and
be
a
sufficient
satisfaction
to
my
aduersaries
,
of
whom
on
the
bended
knees
of
my
heart
I
humbly
craue
pardon
,
from
whome
being
men
I
feare
not
deniall
,
since
I
am
sure
it
is
sealed
of
our
Maker
in
heauen
,
&
so
from
a
free
and
vnburthened
heart
,
a
patient
mind
and
willing
steps
,
I
goe
out
of
my
chamber
in
the
Marshalstes
,
the
Friday
morning
being
the
two
and
twenty
day
of
December
to
make
my
death-bed
at
Wapping
.
Of
whom
Reader
if
thou
desirest
more
,
though
he
be
the
first
of
number
placed
in
the
booke
,
he
was
the
last
of
seauenteene
that
suffered
:
first
he
made
his
deuotion
and
prayers
with
an
affirmatiue
tongue
,
threw
away
his
hat
as
he
went
bouldly
vp
the
ladder
,
and
being
demanded
of
a
straunger
stood
by
him
,
If
as
yet
he
had
heard
no
good
newes
from
the
King
?
he
answered
him
,
none
sir
but
from
the
King
of
Kings
:
and
therefore
with
Peter
I
must
resolue
and
say
I
looke
for
a
new
heauen
and
a
new
earth
,
according
to
his
promise
wherein
dwelleth
righteousnesse
:
he
sung
(
to
a
sillable
)
the
one
and
twenty
Psalms
,
dyed
a
repentant
sinner
and
a
Christian
,
and
by
the
diligence
of
his
naturall
brother
,
was
brought
to
the
keeper
of
Newgates
house
in
Newgate-market
,
and
from
thence
as
a
Christian
was
buried
in
Christe-Church
.
The
discourse
of
Captaine
Iennings
.
SInce
you
are
thus
farre
(
gentle
Readers
)
led
on
with
this
discourse
of
Captaine
Harris
,
I
doubt
not
but
you
will
expect
the
like
of
the
rest
,
which
cannot
in
Captaine
Iennings
be
so
well
performd
as
in
the
former
,
for
the
education
of
his
youth
was
●…o
meane
and
low
,
he
could
neither
write
nor
read
,
yet
notwithstanding
it
is
not
brought
to
your
eyes
vnder
his
owne
hand
,
the
report
for
certaine
was
taken
from
his
tongue
,
and
thus
it
is
.
From
my
childehood
(
quoth
he
)
I
was
wholy
addicted
to
martiall
courses
,
espetially
in
the
manly
resolution
of
seafaringmen
,
I
was
not
disaniamated
at
the
reports
of
others
dangers
past
,
nor
afeard
my self
to
encounter
with
tempests
to
come
,
whereby
in
many
voyages
returning
from
Sea
,
I
grew
to
beare
the
name
of
a
skilfull
Marriner
,
which
so
soone
pu●…t
vp
a
selfe
conceit
in
my
thoughts
,
that
I
grew
ambitious
straight
,
to
haue
a
whole
commaund
,
and
held
it
basenes
to
liue
vnder
checke
.
It
likt
me
well
a
shipboard
to
see
the
Captaine
but
bid
,
and
his
will
in
all
things
was
straight
obeyd
,
and
such
a
one
in
my
ambition
I
resolud
to
be
,
which
authority
and
place
,
finding
my
present
meanes
&
friends
vnpossible
lawfully
to
raise
me
vnto
,
I
bluntly
resolued
,
as
we
vse
to
say
,
to
attaine
to
it
then
by
hooke
or
by
crooks
.
To
which
purpose
,
comforting
my selfe
with
a
retchles
crue
,
and
such
as
loued
ryot
as
well
as
my selfe
(
for
I
must
truely
confesse
it
was
one
of
my
sinnes
)
we
were
not
long
before
we
had
made
vp
our
company
,
furnished
vs
of
a
ship
,
and
by
the
name
of
Captaine
Iennings
I
was
knowne
at
Sea
,
so
that
in
the
Queenes
maiesties
raigne
,
during
the
continuance
of
the
dissention
betwixt
the
King
of
Spaine
&
the
Hollanders
,
I
found
such
a
safe
refuge
and
retirement
,
into
Dunkerk
,
after
many
haynous
spoyles
committed
on
their
Dutch
Fly-boates
.
Pinkes
and
passengers
in
them
,
that
my
name
grew
so
odious
,
my
offences
so
multiplied
,
that
being
knowne
to
the
state
,
I
was
proclaimd
a
Pyrate
,
and
seueral
ships
both
from
England
and
Holland
,
made
out
to
lie
in
waight
for
my
apprehention
,
which
though
long
first
was
at
last
so
effected
,
that
by
the
English
I
was
taken
,
&
brought
prisoner
to
the
Marshalseys
,
expecting
nothing
but
for
my
time
of
tryall
,
and
hoping
for
nothing
but
present
death
.
When
my
louing
sister
so
labourd
with
petitions
to
the
states
that
lay
heere
,
and
to
diuers
Marchants
,
I
had
formerly
wrongd
,
wherein
was
my
promise
of
reformation
of
life
,
and
vowes
of
seruice
to
their
country
,
which
they
both
knew
,
and
I
was
certaine
I
could
able
them
in
,
proudly
spoken
of
my selfe
,
that
not
a
man
in
Christendome
could
stop
a
leake
vnder
water
better
then
I
,
and
but
without
boasting
I
could
say
hardly
so
wel
,
which
vertue
known
to
them
,
with
other
my
many
resolutions
,
they
pittied
my
fal
,
were
petitioners
for
me
to
the
Queene
,
contented
themselues
to
sustaine
their
losse
by
me
,
and
twice
by
this
meanes
they
procurd
my
pardon
,
a
grace
from
them
so
sufficient
,
that
if
I
had
had
grace
to
haue
conceiud
it
so
,
&
made
good
vse
of
their
fauours
,
my
sins
had
not
bene
so
many
,
my
reputation
more
,
my
fauour
might
haue
bene
greater
,
and
the
contempt
of
me
lesse
,
my
seruice
haue
still
bene
held
acceptable
▪
&
I
a
good
member
in
the
common
wealth
:
but
see
how
I
requited
the
last
of
their
graces
.
Namely
not
only
my
pardon
procurde
,
paying
my
charges
and
setting
me
at
liberty
,
but
also
transporting
me
ouer
,
gaue
me
commaund
ouer
a
Flyboat
,
and
in
their
seruice
sent
me
to
sea
,
in
which
imployment
,
my
enterprises
not
thriuing
so
successiuely
as
before
,
and
the
pride
of
my
heart
not
stooping
,
but
cōtemningto
attend
their
reproofe
,
who
had
saued
my
life
,
taking
fit
aduantage
by
the
forehead
,
with
their
ship
&
furniture
,
&
such
men
as
I
had
drawn
to
my
part
,
I
leaue
their
seruice
,
intend
now
to
serue
for
my selfe
,
and
by
this
〈◊〉
hauing
taken
a
Spanish
Caruell
by
the
way
,
I
am
ariued
at
Sophie
in
Barbary
,
where
vpon
my
arriuall
,
vpon
some
displeasure
that
was
concein●…
against
other
Pirates
,
concerning
the
breaking
certaine
contractes
they
had
made
with
the
Gouernour
,
and
during
the
time
of
examining
o●…
my
goods
,
I
was
kept
prisoner
,
but
at
length
was
released
and
●…ound
such
fauour
,
that
my
prize
was
sold
to
〈◊〉
best
aduantage
,
for
which
●…auour
I
not
neglecting
my
thankefulnes
to
the
Gouernour
,
and
diuers
others
I
had
found
my
friends
,
I
was
contented
to
spend
there
the
latter
end
of
the
yeare
,
in
which
time
I
came
acquainted
with
Captaine
Bishop
and
Captaine
Roupe
,
who
did
so
combinde
our selues
together
,
that
the
following
spring
we
went
forth
,
Bishop
Admirall
,
Roupe
Uiceadmirall
,
and
my selfe
rearadmirall
,
where
what
purchase
we
tooke
of
any
nation
in
this
voyage
,
still
we
returnd
and
made
sale
of
onely
at
Sophie
,
which
amounting
to
so
great
a
summe
,
it
is
incredible
to
report
,
I
will
onely
satisfie
you
that
the
most
part
was
consumed
in
excesse
:
and
so
to
this
discourse
.
These
prizes
we
had
thus
taken
being
heere
sould
,
there
was
some
difference
fell
betwixt
vs
three
concerning
our
shares
,
which
dissention
betw●…ene
Captaine
Roup●…
and
my selfe
was
soone
attoned
:
but
Captaine
Bishop
because
we
would
not
yeeld
he
should
haue
a
full
part
more
then
vs
both
,
here
we
left
company
,
and
Captaine
Roup●…
and
my selfe
put
forth
to
Sea
for
a
voyage
againe
,
when
after
a
seauen
daies
sale
;
a
leake
sprung
in
Captain
Roups
ship
,
which
growing
so
forcible
it
could
by
no
meanes
be
stopped
,
Captaine
Roupe
and
his
company
were
compeld
to
come
aboard
of
mine
,
and
his
ship
sunke
immediately
after
.
Our
strengths
being
thus
confinde
into
one
hould
,
w●…
were
by
this
time
come
to
the
I●…e
of
Silly
,
where
we
met
with
a
ship
called
the
Iohn
Euangelist
,
and
without
much
paines
made
her
our
prize
,
the
twenty
six
of
October
immediately
following
,
and
making
for
Ireland
,
we
tooke
als●…
a
french
ship
laden
with
brasse
and
other
rich
commodities
,
and
so
bearing
vp
to
Baltimor
,
we
sent
the
purse●…
with
the
long
boat
a
shore
,
to
deale
with
the
kernes
for
hogges
to
victuall
withal
,
&
vnder
that
pretence
shew
them
their
bills
of
lading
:
for
it
is
to
be
vnderstood
,
that
this
part
of
Ireland
and
the
kernes
the
inhabitants
,
haue
their
best
strength
&
support
by
the
putting
in
and
nourishing
o●…
Pyrates
.
It
is
also
to
be
noted
,
that
as
soone
as
any
Capta●…e
h●…h
taken
any
ship
,
a
cals
to
the
Maister
for
a
bill
of
his
lading
,
and
demaunds
what
belongs
to
the
Marchant
,
what
to
the
Master
,
and
what
to
the
Marriners
?
so
that
if
he
leaue
them
their
ship
,
he
takes
away
none
but
the
Marchants
goods
,
and
by
this
meanes
he
knowes
hereafter
what
he
is
driuen
to
be
accomptable
for
.
But
to
the
purpose
,
hauing
safely
put
in
here
to
Baltimor
made
sale
of
her
goods
they
had
then
taken
,
and
victuald
their
ship
in
readines
to
depart
,
Captaine
Iennings
being
a
shore
,
it
happened
him
to
fall
in
liking
with
an
Irish
woman
,
and
what
with
golde
and
perswasion
he
so
farre
preuailed
with
her
,
that
he
wonne
her
to
spend
her
company
at
Sea
with
him
,
and
so
hoysing
sailes
away
they
depart
.
At
whose
going
out
of
the
road
,
his
iniuries
being
spread
and
whose
name
the
third
time
proclaimd
a
Pyrate
,
they
happened
vpon
one
of
the
Kings
ships
called
the
Trementany
,
sent
out
against
them
,
ouer
whome
Captaine
Williams
was
Captaine
,
and
for
this
disseigne
had
strengthned
himselfe
with
some
of
Captaine
Hews
company
,
betwixt
whom
being
a
most
corragious
encounter
,
the
Captains
on
both
sides
brauely
behaued
themselues
,
the
one
fighting
for
honor
and
the
other
for
safety
,
but
Captaine
Iennings
finding
himselfe
the
weaker
,
since
his
cause
was
the
worser
,
his
ship
being
of
swift
speede
and
hauing
wind
as
it
appeares
,
could
goe
off
at
his
pleasure
,
fearing
the
danger
,
was
glad
by
flight
to
be
freed
of
his
foe
:
so
that
the
shaking
ague
of
this
feare
,
ended
the
burning
feauer
rose
in
both
the
Captaines
mindes
,
namely
Captaine
Iennings
and
Captaine
Roupe
,
and
they
vowd
now
whosoeuer
they
met
though
the
●…oe
had
the
oddes
,
they
would
dare
him
to
fight
,
and
so
put
on
to
the
coast
of
Spaine
,
where
in
their
sayling
they
met
with
two
Spanish
ships
,
made
vp
to
them
,
with
all
speed
possible
,
and
being
come
each
of
the
other
,
within
reach
of
shot
,
either
without
haling
th●…m
,
or
commaunding
them
to
strike
,
the
〈◊〉
newes
they
heard
was
abroad
side
,
by
which
vnwelcome
messengers
vnderstanding
at
full
,
what
their
neighbours
were
,
and
to
what
vniust
comming
their
purpose
was
,
being
two
ships
wa●…likely
appointed
,
and
their
enemie
but
one
,
they
redied
themselues
for
a
needfull
defence
,
so
that
betwixt
them
straight
was
a
cruell
fight
▪
the
Spaniards
not
doubting
in
respect
of
their
oddes
to
goe
off
with
ease
,
and
the
other
resoluing
with
the
help
of
their
resolutions
to
conquer
at
pleasure
:
for
the
space
of
full
foure
houres
was
this
fight
cruell
,
one
fighting
in
hope
of
spoile
,
and
the
other
to
saue
what
their
paines
had
got
:
sometimes
victorie
promising
fairely
to
the
one
,
to
the
disharting
of
the
aduerse
,
and
anon
declining
from
them
to
looke
cheerefully
on
the
other
,
to
the
discouraging
of
the
countrary
.
But
the
vallour
of
the
Captaines
(
though
it
was
resolute
and
desperat
)
being
waid
in
scales
of
tryall
,
it
proued
too
light
to
counterpoise
the
iust
o●…ence
and
resistance
of
the
Spaniards
,
so
that
ten
or
eleuen
of
Captaine
Iennings
company
in
this
rash
enterprise
being
●…aine
,
himselfe
hurt
and
twenty
more
of
the
same
confederacy
dangerously
,
shot
,
their
ship
s●…re
beaten
,
and
the
sound
terrifide
,
with
the
best
wings
of
hast
which
their
sailes
could
flye
withall
,
they
are
glad
now
to
be
quit
of
those
foes
which
euen
now
they
were
so
head-strong
to
quarrell
with
,
and
the
Spaniards
on
the
other
●…de
,
not
scaping
so
well
they
could
boast
of
the
day
,
any
more
but
this
,
they
were
glad
of
escape
,
by
this
they
were
both
quit
of
the
others
company
.
Which
two
disasters
hapning
to
them
one
in
the
necke
of
another
,
namely
their
escape
from
Captaine
Williams
,
and
their
mischieuous
conflict
in
their
attempt
against
these
two
Spaniards
,
the
whole
company
began
to
murmure
against
Captaine
Iennings
,
gathered
the
voyce
thereof
from
thus
ground
,
and
was
this
vttered
,
that
no
doubt
their
crosses
past
and
daungers
present
,
so
many
of
their
consorts
being
sore
hurt
,
and
their
ship
so
out
of
order
,
it
was
as
a
iust
iudgement
of
God
against
them
,
in
suffering
their
Captaine
to
bring
his
whore
aboard
&
there
to
wallow
in
his
●…urucie
,
when
counsell
was
to
be
held
for
their
future
safety
:
others
strengthning
it
with
this
,
why
should
he
haue
his

for
himselfe
any
more
then
the
rest
?
al
condemning
the
permission
,
&
exclayming
against
disorder
,
amongst
whome
there
was
no
order
,
they
pretended
straight
to
haue
a
redresse
,
Which
being
subtilly
vnderstood
by
Captaine
Rou●…
,
he
hauing
men
of
his
owne
to
strengthen
his
part
,
and
finding
it
the
fittest
aduantage
for
his
aduancement
,
he
soothd
them
on
to
the
action
in
hand
,
and
vrgd
them
with
this
,
that
successe
in
their
con●…ition
was
neuer
found
,
when
a
woman
was
more
Maister
of
the
Captaine
,
then
the
Captaine
of
his
men
,
that
in
all
the
purchase
(
though
vnlikely
yet
)
they
should
euer
take
,
through
the
inticing
flatteries
,
with
which
he
seemed
to
be
besotted
and
bewitched
,
the
maine
profit
thereof
should
redow●…d
to
her
,
and
they
like
thrashers
should
labour
and
sweat
to
bring
the
sweete
vnto
other
mens
mouthes
,
whereupon
the
strength
of
their
spleenes
being
heere
incouraged
,
the
heat
of
their
murmur
grew
vp
to
muteny
,
and
in
a
gi●…y
maner
breaking
into
their
Captaines
cabbin
,
whome
they
found
set
and
imbraced
by
his
Irish
Mistres
,
they
boldly
began
to
reprooue
his
course
,
condemne
his
vndertakings
,
and
exclaime
against
his
●…osenes
;
whose
haughty
spirit
boyling
to
heare
his
condition
controld
(
especially
in
the
eare
of
her
he
was
now
ioying
with
)
by
those
whome
he
held
his
commaund
might
checke
,
with
a
trunch●…on

he

of

on

cleares
his

of

,
and
hauing
beaten
them
all
to
a
bay
,
he
cals
thus
to
Captaine
Roupe
:
Captaine
Roupe
will
you
suffer
me
to
be
thus
●…aunted
and
abused
by
the
madnesse
of
rascals
,
whome
a

of
mischance
doth
driue
to

?
But
he
not
hasty
to
succor
his
expectation
,
hi●…
company
made
good
ag●…inst
him
,
and
by
their
violence
and
outrage
compelled
him
to
retire
to
the
Eune-roome
,
where
to
auoide
the
he
●…t
of
their
fury
,
manning
the
dore
,
one
of
his
company
discharged
a
musket
vppon
him
,
but
his
life
being
reser●…d
to
a
future
shame
for
his
actions
,
it
most
vnfortunably
mist
him
,
and
the
fire
of
their
rage
,
being
alla●…d
by
the
perswasion
of
Captaine
Roup
which
in
this
heat
would
haue
consumed
his
life
,
it
was
onely
agreed
,
and
their
tempest
satisfied
to
haue
him
discarded
from
his
Captaine-ship
and
confind
from
the
pleasure
and
company
of
his
wench
,
by
being
detained
in
the
gun-roome
,
ouer
whome
Captaine
Roup
was
made
keeper
,
and
instituted
also
their
Captaine
both
of
them
and
their
ship
:
onely
here
is
to
be
noted
,
in
this
ship
there
was
great
store
of
riches
,
and
so
they
now
put
out
to
the
southward
Cape
.
In
which
time
,
Captaine
Iennings
remaining
prisoner
with
patience
(
since
he
found
resistance
was
bootlesse
)
he
so
insinuated
with
Captaine
Roup
that
he
brought
Captaine
Roup
to
preuaile
with
his
men
,
that
they
gau●…
their
consents
for
his
liberty
of
the
ship
,
and
then
againe
dealing
priuatly
with
Lodge
,
Williams
and
others
,
he
had
wrought
them
now
to
repent
their
rashnes
,
and
the
rather
for
that
Gilbert
Roup
hauing
the
power
in
his
commaund
,
he
did
not
seeme
so
wholy
to
rely
on
the
trust
of
them
who
had
formerly
ben
of
Captaine
Iennings
company
,
as
he
did
on
those
had
bene
of
his
owne
,
neither
in
countenance
and
outward
shewe
(
seemed
any
way
so
kind
and
affable
to
them
)
being
,
indeed
a
man
of
more
sterne
and
obdurate
nature
then
Iennings
was
,
which
they
disliking
in
him
in
heart
,
but
not
daring
to
vtter
,
his
owne
affection
being
the
stronger
,
they
were
compelled
to
be
content
.
So
that
being
now
in
the
southward
Cape
,
they
hapned
vppon
a
French
pinck
with
rich
lading
,
against
whose
assailement
the
Frenchman
making
a
forceable
resistance
,
they
were
at
length
come
to
grapple
,
when
Captaine
Roup
&
his
men
as
well
in
the
ayme
of
credit
to
be
seene
forwarder
then
Iennings
or
his
men
,
h●…pe
of
riches
which
they
guest
they
had
in
chase
,
as
also
by
the
politicke
persuasion
and
egging
of
them
on
by
Captaine
Iennings
,
when
they
came
to
boarding
,
Captaine
Roup
and
most
or
al
of
his
company
being
ransacking
the
pincke
,
Iennings
tu●…nd
now
to
perswade
his
men
thus
:
that
the
ship
was
his
owne
,
and
he
had
bene
their
Captaine
,
that
much
riches
they
had
purchased
together
,
and
he
had
giuen
them
their
faithfull
shares
,
that
occasion
was
now
offered
to
shewe
their
loues
friends
to
him
,
that
if
any
thing
had
bene
amisse
,
his
vallour
should
redeeme
it
,
and
his
courtesie
amend
it
,
&
that
Captaine
Roup
made
but
instruments
of
them
for
his
present
vse
,
who
by
his
cruell
and
stubborne
nature
,
they
might
perceiue
he
would
requite
with
vnthankefulnesse
and
no
doubt
with
their
ruines
,
when
aduantage
should
further
it
.
With
which
pers●…asion
of
his
,
he
so
forcibly
preuailed
,
that
they
in
an
instant
called
their
Captaine
,
and
began
to
ready
themselues
,
to
resist
Captaine
Roup
&
his
forces
in
the
pincke
when
he
should
offer
to
come
aboord
againe
,
which
he
intending
to
doe
as
also
●…o
fraight
their
ship
with
most
&
the
best
of
the
luggage
they
violently
withstood
him
,
nay
told
him
further
,
that
if
for
their
former
labour
,
they
might
not
freely
share
in
the
profit
was
found
,
they
were
now
to
become
as
eager
foes
to
him
and
his
company
as
before
to
the
Frenchman
.
When
Captaine
Roup
iudging
of
the
tricke
,
an●…
knowing
his
strength
too
weake
to
disable
them
he
thought
it
best
to
come
to
composition
,
and
be
glad
of
part
,
least
compelled
by
necessitie
he
should
loose
all
,
so
that
a
frendly
agreement
is
made
betweene
them
:
Captaine
Iennings
is
Captaine
of
his
owne
ship
,
Captaine
Roup
of
the
French
pincke
,
all
are
friends
and
they
put
now
for
the
coast
of
Ireland
.
When
in
the
way
,
Captaine
Iennings
hauing
regaind
his
former
riches
,
charge
,
and
a
share
in
the
spoile
Roupe
had
tane
from
the
Frenchman
,
he
began
now
to
consider
of
the
●…cklenes
of
his
estate
,
the
vnconstancy
of
his
men
,
and
the
dangers
that
were
instant
to
the
course
of
his
life
,
he
desired
now
in
heart
he
might
make
his
peace
and
procure
the
liberty
of
his
country
againe
,
although
with
the
tender
of
all
he
had
,
to
which
purpose
he
entended
to
order
his
actions
,
when
safe
occasion
should
suffer
him
,
though
concealing
his
intent
to
himselfe
,
and
so
they
put
into
Baltimor
,
which
harbor
lies
in
my
Lord
of
Clāricards
country
,
and
to
whome
he
meant
to
submit
himselfe
,
but
by
no
meanes
(
whether
his
men
suspecting
his
intent
or
no
I
am
vnresolued
)
he
could
not
be
suffred
to
goe
ashore
,
onely
foure
of
his
company
being
sent
out
with
the
long-boate
,
namely
Thomas
Renolds
,
Iohn
Lodge
,
Iohn
Williams
who
was
Botson
of
the
ship
,
and
one
Iames
a
●…renchman
who
was
Trumpeter
,
to
discry
if
the
coast
were
cleare
and
their
arriuall
might
be
in
safety
,
who
being
landed
resolued
with
themselues
,
neuer
to
returne
to
carry
him
newes
,
but
euery
one
to
make
shift
for
one
,
and
so
ashor●…
to
auoide
suspition
they
betooke
their
course
to
seuerall
waies
,
Iames
the
Trumpetter
hyring
an
Irish
kerne
to
b●…
his
guide
,
by
his
conductor
had
his
throat
cut
.
Renolds
was
first
taken
,
by
a
Captaine
of
my
Lord
of
Clanricards
,
and
brought
before
my
Lord
in
his
Castle
,
who
confessing
how
and
with
whome
he
came
in
,
he
was
with
a
charge
conueid
to
the
Castle
in
Dublin
,
but
Lodge
and
Williams
came
not
till
a
fortnight
after
.
But
Iennings
now
seeing
their
returne
doubtfull
,
began
straight
to
suspect
himselfe
,
and
put
off
againe
from
Baltimor
vp
to
the
riuer
of
Limbrincke
,
which
is
my
Lord
of
Toumonds
country
,
yet
desiring
still
to
yeelde
vp
himselfe
,
if
safely
he
might
,
where
lying
at
anchor
both
with
Captaine
Roupes
ship
and
his
owne
,
yet
so
far
wi●…hout
reach
of
my
Lord
of
Toumonds
Castle
,
that
he
might
goe
off
and
come
on
at
pleasure
,
he
now
in
his
long
boat
himselfe
put
on
neare
the
shoare
,
and
caused
a
parle
to
be
sommond
to
the
Castell
,
of
which
sommons
my
Lord
vnderstanding
,
he
sent
downe
to
him
one
of
his
sonnes
and
diuerse
of
his
men
to
know
what
they
would
?
which
being
deconded
,
Iennings
expressed
to
them
that
he
desired
some
conference
with
my
Lord
whom
if
it
pleased
his
honour
he
would
attend
in
his
own
Castle
,
onely
that
offering
thus
voluntary
to
put
himselfe
(
being
in
danger
)
into
his
Lordships
hands
,
he
would
haue
a
couple
left
aboard
his
ship
as
hostage
for
his
safe
returne
,
which
vnderstood
at
ful
by
my
Lord
,
his
request
was
graunted
,
&
Iennings
was
conducted
vp
to
the
town
&
two
of
my
Lords
chiefest
men
sent
as
pledges
aboord
,
when
the
next
morning
Iennings
being
brought
in
presence
before
my
Lord
,
he
presently
related
the
story
of
his
life
,
&
offered
to
submit
himselfe
,
his
whole
company
,
the
estate
&
purchase
he
had
,
vnder
his
Lordships
protection
,
with
condition
,
this
:
his
Lordship
would
be
his
mediator
for
the
Kings
maiesties
mercy
,
and
procure
his
pardon
,
when
his
Lordship
in
wisdome
finding
it
not
requisite
to
articulate
with
him
further
then
he
required
,
since
two
of
his
followers
I
and
kinsmen
too
were
aboard
his
ship
,
and
seing
both
the
ships
as
well
his
owne
as
Roupes
,
with
their
whole
companye●…
and
fading
,
except
himselfe
,
to
lye
so
aloo●…e
they
might
goe
off
at
pleasure
in
spight
of
controule
,
he
grauely
thought
it
fit
to
giue
this
fish
line
till
he
might
more
iustly
choak
him
,
with
the
baite
he
coueted
:
and
the
reuppon
gaue
him
his
protection
for
a
named
time
,
for
himselfe
and
his
company
,
seemed
●…o
regard
him
with
intire
respect
and
promised
him
withall
,
that
so
farre
as
w●…
his
honnour
he
fastly
might
,
he
would
proue
his
honourable
friend
to
procure
his
p●…rdon
,
vppon
which
hope
,
Iennings
emboldned
,
he
rioted
in
pleasure
and
reuelled
in
the
towne
,
carried
one
of
my
Lords
sonnes
and
diuers
gentlemen
inhabiting
there
about
,
diuers
times
aboord
his
ship
,
where
his
entertainement
to
them
was
wonderfull
,
and
presents
giuen
vnto
euery
hand
,
shewing
them
withall
,
his
Lordships
protection
,
and
relating
the
honorable
promise
his
eares
receiued
from
his
owne
tongue
,
which
was
he
would
do
his
best
to
procure
his
pardon
,
which
inticing
promise
of
my
Lords
,
though
Iennings
had
heard
it
,
and
in
regard
of
the
protection
,
was
brought
to
beleeue
,
neither
Roup
nor
the
rest
would
be
brought
to
trust
,
onely
now
and
then
some
two
or
three
by
turnes
going
a
shore
for
fresh
victuall
and
so
returned
againe
.
For
the
space
of
a
fortnight
they
thus
continued
,
in
all
which
time
by
no
persuasion
of
Iennings
,
nor
hope
of
my
Lord
could
Roup
or
the
ships
be
brought
within
checke
,
neither
my
Lords
men
who
were
left
in
hostage
for
Iennings
be
deliuered
a
shoare
.
Till
one
day
hauing
feasted
voluptuously
with
them
aboord
,
and
drunke
hard
,
he
out
of
his
owne
motion
made
the
offer
vnto
them
,
that
that
night
they
should
goe
with
him
and
reuell
it
a
shoare
:
from
this
he
was
disuaded
by
some
who
at
this
instant
were
more
staid
then
himselfe
,
but
he
neglecting
their
councell
,
the
long
boat
is
cald
for
,
they
are
set
a
shoare
and
reuelling
it
in
Limbricke
,
and
the
next
morning
no
doubt
had
returned
againe
had
not
this
which
followeth
happened
that
night
.
Captaine
Roup
hauing
intelligence
that
my
Lords
men
were
gone
with
him
to
land
,
comming
aboord
the
ship
,
he
contriued
with
the
maister
,
and
into
his
long
boat
conueyed
out
of
the
gun-port
most
of
Iennings
shot
and
powder
,
as
with
purpose
but
to
borrow
it
,
and
the
next
neede
to
repay
it
againe
:
with
which
being
stored
he
hoysed
sailes
,
and
away
goes
he
:
and
the
Maister
of
Iennings
ship
in
the
morning
missing
the
pinck
,
seeing
neither
Captaine
norpledges
returnd
aboord
,
doubting
some
trechery
,
he
doth
the
like
,
and
my
Lord
of
Toumond
taking
note
how
the
ships
were
gone
,
and
that
the
limit
of
his
protection
giuen
,
had
expirde
the
date
:
he
commaunds
Iennings
to
more
safe
custody
,
yet
with
expresse
charge
to
be
worthily
vsed
,
and
hauing
by
this
space
directed
his
letters
to
Sir
Robert
Chichester
Lord
deputy
of
Ireland
,
of
all
these
proceedings
,
there
is
by
this
,
a
warrant
come
to
my
Lord
Toumonds
hands
,
from
the
counsell
of
Ireland
,
to
direct
his
prisoner
to
Dublin
,
who
not
onely
gratiously
vsing
of
him
while
he
was
in
his
charge
,
but
by
expresse
commaund
,
resigning
him
ouer
to
those
had
order
for
his
safe
conduct
,
he
gaue
him
out
of
his
owne
coffers
a
hundred
pownd
starling
,
to
defray
his
expence
.
Being
now
come
vnto
Dublin
,
and
examied
before
the
Councell
,
he
denied
not
what
he
bad
bene
,
and
pleaded
for
mercy
since
he
came
in
voluntary
,
which
by
this
that
followeth
may
appeare
no
doubt
had
bene
graunted
,
had
not
his
former
life
bene
so
contemptible
:
for
during
the
time
of
his
stay
in
Dublin
which
was
aboue
three
moneths
,
the
right
honourable
Earle
of
Clanricard
,
and
Lord
Toumond
who
in
thatspace
was
present
there
,
had
so
labord
for
him
that
he
had
all
the
lybertie
of
the
country
within
ten
mile
about
both
to
hawke
and
to
hunt
and
none
to
attend
him
but
only
on
Iames
a
musition
,
who
was
my
Lord
of
Clanricards
man
prouided
this
he
returnd
to
the
castle
for
hislodging
atnight
.
Nay
,
after
that
,
by
the
direction
of
the
Councell
here
,
he
was
to
be
sent
for
England
:
and
that
they
had
receiued
true
and
perfect
instructions
what
an
ill
liuer
he
had
bene
,
in
that
they
would
not
seeme
to
dishearten
him
in
the
iourney
he
was
to
take
,
they
dischargd
him
of
custody
,
and
as
it
had
bene
to
haue
imployd
him
in
some
affaires
of
import
,
gaue
him
charge
of
a
letter
to
the
Maior
of
Chester
,
whose
purpose
was
to
conuey
him
to
London
.
From
Chester
he
was
conducted
to
the
Marshalseyses
in
Southwark
,
where
remayning
euen
since
May
last
,
to
the
eye
of
men
,
he
liued
a
careles
life
,
or
dreadles
of
that
he
did
thinke
was
to
come
:
one
being
mery
a
drinking
with
him
once
,
demaunded
of
him
thus
:
faith
Captaine
Iennings
and
how
did
you
liue
when
you
were
at
Sea
?
how
(
quoth
he
)
I
reioyced
more
to
heare
the
Cannons
voyce
that
bid
me
to
fight
,
then
the
Church-bell
that
cald
me
to
prayer
:
I
fought
not
as
chickens
fight
,
for
their
meat
to
sustaine
nature
,
but
for
store
of
gold
,
to
maintaine
ryot
:
Another
time
being
drinking
in
the
parlor
,
where
they
vse
to
dine
in
the
prison
,
it
being
somewhat
afore
Bartholmewtide
,
in
hot
weather
,
he
sat
iust
with
his
face
in
the
sun
,
when
one
demanded
of
him
,
Captaine
Iennings
why
doe
yor
sit
with
your
face
in
the
Sun
,
it
will
make
your
head
ake
:
fogh
pox
quoth
he
what
do
you
tell
me
of
the
head-ake
,
that
shall
hang
in
the
sun
shortly
when
my
necke
shall
ake
,
and
I
do
but
practise
now
how
I
shal
fry
then
.
The
same
day
that
Captaine
Harris
was
brought
into
prison
,
being
the
satterday
before
the
arraignement
,
which
was
the
monday
following
,
he
was
in
the
Marshalseys
yard
,
throwing
of
snow-bals
,
iust
as
Captaine
Harris
was
comming
in
at
the
gate
,
who
hauing
a
snow-ball
at
that
instant
in
his
hand
,
ready
to
throw
,
one
cald
vnto
him
aloud
,
Captaine
Iennings
Captaine
Iennings
,
Captaine
Harris
is
comming
,
Captaine
Harris
quoth
he
,
I
loue
him
well
,
but
and
the
hangman
himselfe
were
comming
I
would
throw
out
my
throw
first
:
these
haue
I
set
down
to
signifie
to
the
world
the
desperatenes
of
his
course
,
the
intemperance
of
his
actions
,
and
the
slight
regard
,
he
seemed
outwardly
to
take
of
his
soule
,
in
that
little
walke
was
giuen
him
to
looke
vpon
,
betwixt
his
life
and
death
.
The
time
of
his
tryall
being
come
,
he
was
the
first
that
stood
indited
and
arraigned
for
those
seuerall
piraces
before
recited
,
and
with
these
of
his
company
,
namely
Thomas
Renolds
shoomaker
,
Iohn
Williams
Marriner
and
Botson
of
his
ship
,
and
Iohn
Lodge
,
who
being
demanded
what
they
could
seuerally
say
to
the
inditement
,
Captaine
Iennings
began
to
intercept
the
clark
,
&
in
this
maner
to
plead
in
their
excuse
.
Alas
my
Lord
what
would
you
haue
these
poore
men
say
?
they
can
say
nothing
to
it
,
if
any
thing
they
haue
done
they
were
compeld
vnto
it
by
me
,
and
I
must
answer
for
it
.
To
this
excuse
by
that
honourable
court
he
was
thus
answerd
,
that
they
doubted
not
but
his
owne
conscience
bore
witnesse
against
him
,
that
he
had
heard
inough
in
his
seuerall
enditements
,
to
answer
for
himselfe
,
and
so
they
wished
him
let
euery
one
of
them
,
and
if
it
should
appeare
either
by
testimony
or
circumstance
,
as
heinfer●…
they
were
cleere
,
the
whole
Court
should
be
glad
of
it
,
and
to
that
purpose
they
should
be
heard
themselues
,
or
any
for
them
at
full
.
Wherevpon
Thomas
Renolds
,
by
the
name
of
Thomas
Renolds
shoomaker
,
was
againe
called
,
&
demanded
of
the
Clarke
of
the
Admiralty
,
what
he
pleaded
to
the
enditement
,
whether
guilty
or
not
guilty
?
who
answering
not
guilty
,
and
desierd
of
their
Lordships
,
he
might
with
their
gratious
fauour
be
heard
,
and
which
being
by
the
honourable
of
the
counsell
vpon
his
request
presently
graunted
,
he
pleaded
thus
,
That
at
the
time
of
Captaine
Iennings
anchoring
in
Baltimor
,
he
was
a
Iourniman
shoomaker
resident
in
Corcke
,
whome
Captaine
Iennings
sent
for
,
(
as
he
might
haue
done
for
any
other
)
to
bring
bootes
or
shooes
to
furnish
both
himselfe
and
his
whole
company
,
who
with
a
couple
of
boyes
in
hope
to
make
a
way
his
maisters
ware
with
profit
,
came
aboord
his
ship
,
and
fitted
them
also
farre
as
his
ware
wold
serue
,
for
which
,
according
to
his
owne
price
,
he
was
from
Captaine
Iennings
owne
hand
orderly
paid
,
and
he
deliuered
the
mony
to
one
of
the
boyes
to
carry
,
and
sent
them
to
stay
for
him
some
respite
a
shore
,
while
he
being
inticed
by
the
Captaine
and
others
to
rest
a
while
and
be
merry
with
them
,
was
with
the
ouercharging
of
many
made
so
drunke
that
he
fell
in
a
sleepe
,
in
which
time
the
winde
seruing
,
and
they
hauing
compassed
themselues
of
all
thinges
fit
,
the
fi●…st
time
he
waked
he
found
himselfe
at
Sea
,
and
the
Captaine
and
others
in
fight
with
one
of
those
ships
,
for
which
he
stood
now
indited
,
and
for
proofe
heereof
he
brought
in
another
shoomaker
,
to
iuis●…fie
that
at
the
same
time
he
then
inferd
,
he
was
working
in
Corke
,
and
liued
honestly
by
his
labour
so
that
if
any
thing
he
had
done
,
it
was
done
in
the
company
of
them
by
whome
he
was
compeld
vnto
it
,
and
therefore
quoth
he
,
I
humbly
desire
both
your
honours
and
the
Iury
,
to
mingle
mercy
with
iustice
,
conscience
with
equity
,
&
so
commisserate
my
case
.
Which
tale
of
his
hauing
so
good
a
relish
of
credit
,
he
being
the
first
that
expressed
the
forme
,
though
many
after
(
both
of
Captaine
Iennings
,
Captaine
Harris
,
and
Captain
Longcastle●…
companies
)
endeuoured
to
follow
the
course
,
their
honours
leauing
his
defence
to
the
good
consideration
of
the
Iury
to
determine
how
true
it
was
,
he
onely
by
their
verdit
was
returnd
not
guilty
,
and
the
rest
(
with
their
Captaine
)
conuicted
as
fellones
and
pyrates
vpon
the
high
seas
,
and
in
maner
and
forme
as
they
stood
invited
.
And
after
their
conuiction
and
iudgement
they
were
conueied
backe
to
the
Marshalseys
,
from
thence
on
Fryday
morning
to
Wapping
,
the
place
appointed
for
their
execution
:
where
Captaine
Iennings
being
the
first
that
was
cald
to
goe
vp
to
his
death
,
and
seeing
that
he
had
bene
al
this
while
deluded
with
a
fruitles
hope
(
for
vpon
my
knowledge
both
Captaine
Harris●…nd
●…nd
he
the
day
before
their
execution
,
did
report
they
were
repreiued
)
he
did
now
in
soule
repent
him
of
his
sinne
,
complayned
of
his
lusts
and
ryots
,
as
the
causers
of
his
ruine
,
confest
that
before
this
he
had
receiued
pardon
for
his
heynous
transgressions
,
and
had
not
the
goodnesse
to
desist
from
ill
:
he
desired
God
of
his
mercy
to
receiue
his
soule
,
&
the
world
at
his
death
to
pardon
his
body
,
&
so
desiring
the
multitude
of
spectators
to
pray
for
him
and
sing
a
psalme
with
him
,
he
was
the
first
was
turnd
of
the
ladder
,
and
after
him
both
Lodge
and
Williams
,
as
his
consorts
and
confederates
found
guilty
in
his
actions
,
did
likewise
suffer
death
.
The
discourse
of
Captaine
Longcastle
alias
Lancaster
,
&
them
of
his
company
that
sufferd
,
namely
William
Tauerner
and
Iohn
Moore
.
THis
William
Longcastle
was
directly
knowne
,
and
so
accused
by
one
of
the
right
honourable
of
the
Counsell
,
at
the
time
of
his
tryall
,
to
be
an
arch-pyrate
,
and
formerly
a
confederate
with
that
famous
Ward
,
although
both
himselfe
,
Tauerner
and
the
other
did
stifly
deny
to
stand
guilty
according
to
their
inditement
,
or
to
deserue
wherby
to
be
accused
for
robbing
the
Susan
of
Bristoll
,
of
whome
one
Anthony
Wye
was
Maister
,
which
piracy
was
thus
committed
.
One
maister
Hal
a
credible
marchant
of
this
honorable
Cittie
,
furnishing
forth
a
ship
of
his
called
the
Vlisses
of
London
,
for
the
west
Indies
,
and
instituting
in
this
his
venture
(
which
amounted
to
a
thousand
pound
)
one
of
his
men
as
gouernour
and
factor
thereof
,
she
from
the
riuer
of
Thames
,
puts
out
to
sea
,
where
meeting
with
seuerall
disasters
,
both
to
her selfe
and
her
men
,
in
the
many
alterations
incident
on
the
waters
,
the
Factor
thought
it
fit
(
hauing
by
the
marchants
appointment
the
whole
order
and
trust
)
to
put
in
about
Plimouth
,
to
strengthen
and
repaire
their
former
mishaps
,
when
inquiring
for
Marriners
that
were
best
and
ablest
to
venture
themselues
in
so
long
a
voyage
,
and
furnishing
their
wants
with
all
that
before
their
necessity
asked
,
he
came
acquainted
,
and
did
take
into
his
company
&
aid
,
these
three
by
the
names
of
Longcastle
,
Tauerner
and
Moore
,
and
with
these
he
puts
on
to
Sea
,
in
hope
of
successe
,
where
anchoring
to
take
in
fresh
water
at
Sophy
in
Barbary
,
they
met
with
the
Susan
of
Bristoll
,
ouer
whome
was
maister
,
Anthony
Wye
,
of
the
same
City
:
betweene
whome
,
being
both
trauellers
from
one
nation
,
there
was
friendship
&
congratulations
enterchangeably
offerd
(
betweene
these
two
houses
and
householders
)
on
the
waters
,
as
formally
as
then
they
had
met
ashore
:
as
,
one
day
the
Susan
to
feast
the
Vlisses
,
and
the
next
day
the
Susans
men
to
come
aboord
of
her
,
which
occasion
now
this
Captaine
Longcastle
not
loosing
the
aduantage
of
,
he
practised
priuately
with
this
Tauerner
and
Moore
,
for
the
surprisall
of
the
Susan
,
and
to
the
furthering
and
finishing
of
this
vniust
enterprise
,
he
wrought
with
Maister
Hals
Factor
,
to
inuite
the
Maister
Anthony
Wye
,
with
as
many
of
the
others
as
he
gotinstructions
had
commaund
in
the
Susan
,
to
come
to
banquet
and
reuell
aboard
their
Vlisses
,
of
which
curtesie
offerd
,
Master
Wye
hauing
no
occasion
to
conceiue
any
suspition
,
of
any
mischiefe
inuented
,
since
they
had
formerly
enterchangeably
dealt
in
the
same
curtesies
,
and
espetially
lying
both
at
refuge
now
in
Sophie
road
,
and
so
neere
vpon
the
shore
,
their
desire
is
condiscended
vnto
,
and
he
with
his
agents
in
the
long
boate
belonging
to
the
Vlisses
,
is
brought
a
boord
,
their
feast
is
furnished
,
their
entertainement
welcome
,
and
the
healths
goe
round
,
when
these
three
,
eying
their
opportunity
,
in
the
edge
of
their
entring
,
they
slip
away
by
turnes
,
and
with
some
other
whome
they
had
won
to
be
linked
as
their
consorts
,
they
priuately
man
out
the
long
boat
,
and
comming
neere
the
Susan
,
making
their
pretence
to
bring
backe
their
maister
,
and
the
rest
of
their
friends
,
they
presently
board
her
,
clap
her
men
vnder
hold
,
and
ceeze
on
her
goods
,
hoyse
sayles
,
and
by
the
helpe
of
this
stratagem
,
in
this
ship
of
Bristoll
,
they
are
out
at
Sea
,
which
Maister
Wye
hauing
notice
of
,
and
iudging
by
their
flight
of
the
innocency
of
the
Factor
,
the
Vlisses
makes
on
for
her
West-Indian
voyage
,
the
Maister
Anthony
Wye
is
left
at
Sophie
,
and
after
as
conuenience
would
affoord
him
,
makes
his
returne
to
England
,
where
complaining
to
the
high
Court
ofadmiralty
of
this
outrage
offerd
,
it
was
needfull
and
iust
for
him
,
in
his
owne
discharge
,
to
g●…ue
in
the
names
of
these
three
as
actors
of
this
pyracy
,
till
time
should
giue
meanes
for
their
apprehension
and
answer
.
But
see
how
if
happened
,
there
was
with
Captaine
Longcastle
in
this
ship
of
the
Vlisses
a
Negro
,
who
not
a
month
before
,
he
had
bought
to
be
his
boy
and
brought
to
be
a
Christian
,
who
in
the
rashnesse
to
surprise
and
hast
to
get
off
,
he
had
neglected
to
take
with
him
him
left
,
in
the
Vlisses
,
whereby
the
Factor
was
constrained
to
take
him
along
with
him
,
and
at
his
returne
deliuered
him
to
maister
Hall
at
London
,
vnto
whom
also
(
vrging
his
owne
innocencie
)
he
related
the
mischance
had
happened
,
disco●…sed
the
manner
,
and
to
his
maister
(
as
it
is
here
recorded
)
deliuered
their
names
,
who
for
his
owne
discharge
,
and
the
discharge
both
of
his
ship
and
goods
,
he
deliuered
so
much
to
the
Lord
high
Admirall
,
and
so
his
factor
as
the
season
serued
with
the
like
trust
is
sent
to
sea
againe
:
in
whose
absence
,
this
Captaine
Longcastle
hauing
his
name
infamous
for
a
Roner
,
noterious
for
a
Pirate
,
and
knowne
for
certaine
to
be
a
confederat
with
Ward
,
he
belike
not
doubting
so
much
of
himselfe
as
was
here
manifest
,
he
puts
secretly
in
at
Causon
bay
neare
Plimmoth
,
and
with
this
Tauerner
and
Moore
,
thought
to
liue
priuatly
,
till
they
could
fully
compound
with
this
Anthony
Wye
,
for
his
iniury
past
,
being
certaine
no
other
Englishman
could
witnes
against
them
.
And
this
is
a
thing
worthy
note
amongst
these
pirates
,
they
neuer
see
or
knowe
of
their
aduersarie
,
but
they
are
as
perfect
as
himselfe
,
for
how
much
they
must
compound
,
which
may
seeme
strange
to
some
,
since
amongst
theeues
it
is
vnlikely
there
should
be
any
order
but
all
hauock
,
and
catch
that
catch
may
to
be
all
their
stake
.
But
with
these
sort
of
robbers
it
is
not
so
,
for
being
once
sure
the
burthen
is
their
owne
,
the
Captaine
cals
straight
for
the
maister
or
marchant
,
and
demaundes
forthwith
for
their
billes
of
lading
,
whereby
he
knowes
what
belongs
to
the
marchant
,
and
what
to
the
mariners
,
when
the
marchants
venture
is
alwaies
taken
for
lawfull
prize
,
but
the
sailors
goods
is
most
commonly
restord
,
and
this
bill
doth
the
pirate
Captaines
most
carefully
keep
and
lay
vp
,
and
as
they
call
it
,
for
their
owne
discharge
.
But
to
our
purpose
,
this
Long
castle
liuing
thus
lurking
to
and
fro
about
Cornwal
,
the
infamy
of
his
name
brought
him
in
more
suspition
then
any
ready
accusstion
that
was
extant
against
him
:
so
that
this
report
of
him
being
carried
about
by
rumoring
tongues
,
and
buzd
abroad
in
somany
ears
it
was
at
last
brought
to
a
right
worshipful
Knight
and
a
Iustice
of
peace
,
who
calling
him
before
him
,
he
demaunded
from
him
of
his
course
of
life
,
&
as
how
and
where
for
the
last
three
yeares
he
had
orderly
spent
his
time
?
who
being
able
to
render
no
confident
and
resoluing
answer
,
he
thought
it
good
in
his
discretion
to
commit
him
to
prison
,
yet
pretending
no
further
,
but
till
he
could
put
in
sufficient
sureties
for
his
good
behauiour
:
when
in
the
meane
time
this
prouident
Gentleman
,
sent
first
to
the
Uiceadmirall
to
enquire
against
his
name
,
and
after
to
the
high
Court
of
admiralty
,
if
nothing
were
inferd
against
him
,
when
after
search
it
appeared
vppon
record
the
former
piracy
against
the
Susan
of
Bristoll
,
and
the
maister
thereof
Anthony
Wye
,
and
his
deposition
against
Longcastle
and
Moore
to
the
same
purpose
,
whereuppon
they
were
all
three
,
committed
to
Exceter
Gaole
,
in
the
County
of
Deuonshire
:
and
against
their
time
of
tryall
,
as
the
other
remooued
to
the
Marchalseys
,
and
at
their
day
of
arraignement
according
to
Iustice
stood
indited
for
the
same
offence
,
vnto
which
invitement
they
pleaded
not
guilty
,
wherevpon
Anthony
Wye
by
name
of
Anthony
Wye
of
Bristoll
mariner
and
maister
of
the
Susan
,
was
in
person
called
to
giue
in
euidence
against
them
,
who
being
seene
the
day
before
in
Court
,
and
not
now
making
his
personall
appearance
to
iustifie
according
to
his
each
,
it
was
then
demaunded
of
Longcastle
(
the
Court
hauing
notice
of
asmuch
)
if
that
during
the
time
of
his
late
imprisonment
in
the
Marchalsies
,
he
at
no
time
had
conference
with
the
said
maister
?
he
denyed
not
but
he
had
,
as
also
if
that
neither
himselfe
nor
any
other
for
him
▪
had
priuatly
dealt
to
giue
any
secret
composition
with
the
said
Wye
,
to
neglect
his
appearance
,
and
so
to
hinder
the
iust
and
lawfull
proceedings
against
his
life
?
which
he
thus
answeared
:
for
mine
owne
part
(
quoth
he
)
I
neuer
offered
him
peny
for
the
saue-guard
of
my selfe
or
any
of
my
company
,
neither
had
he
any
reason
for
it
,
since
they
were
not
the
men
that
were
then
at
the
fact
:
yet
he
had
heard
that
some
friend
of
his
in
his
behalfe
,
had
offered
him
in
full
satisfaction
,
restitution
to
the
valour
of
all
his
goods
lost
,
as
also
in
gratuity
to
himselfe
fifty
pound
,
in
consideration
he
would
be
silent
▪
it
was
then
demannded
of
him
who
that
friend
should
be
?
he
answered
he
knew
not
,
whereuppon
by
one
of
the
Councell
it
was
vrged
,
how
vnlikely
it
was
that
any
man
should
offer
a
composition
for
him
of
so
much
mony
,
and
he
be
a
straunger
to
the
motion
:
besides
what
reason
had
any
friend
to
make
such
an
offer
if
his
friend
were
cleare
since
the
lawe
is
so
iust
in
euery
mans
case
,
nay
when
the
Kings
maiestie
himselfe
in
the
care
of
his
subiects
,
sends
both
his
Councell
of
state
and
Councell
at
lawe
to
sit
euen
as
vmpires
betweene
Iustice
and
their
liues
.
Whereuppon
maister
Hall
was
called
,
to
certifie
whether
his
man
at
his
returne
,
had
not
giuen
in
to
him
the
perfect
names
of
those
three
men
as
they
stood
there
indited
,
and
the
true
description
of
their
statures
,
who
answered
the
names
and
statures
of
three
such
men
his
man
had
giuen
him
,
but
whither
they
were
the
men
,
he
neither
durst
nor
could
not
say
,
for
he
had
neuer
seene
them
(
and
his
man
was
now
at
sea
)
till
they
were
now
arraigned
:
in
which
doubt
they
cald
earnestly
vppon
the
Court
,
Anthony
Wye
being
absent
M.
Halls
factor
at
sea
,
and
none
as
yet
personnally
to
giue
euidence
against
them
,
that
their
Lordships
would
be
mercifull
vnto
them
,
and
not
to
cast
away
their
innocent
liues
vpon
meere
presumptions
,
that
no
other
euidence
as
yet
comming
in
,
it
was
thought
of
the
spectators
and
all
(
but
the
Court
who
knew
there
the
men
)
they
should
then
haue
bene
quitte
:
when
straight
was
called
the
Negro
who
before
had
bene
his
man
and
reserued
in
priuate
to
se
how
long
their
impudence
would
hould
out
,
when
first
being
demaunded
if
Longcastle
had
bene
his
maister
,
he
answeared
yes
:
then
was
asked
of
Longcastle
if
the
Moore
had
bene
his
boy
,
who
resolued
that
he
had
:
the
boy
was
then
questioned
,
if
he
was
not
at
sea
with
him
in
the
Vlisses
?
the
boy
affirmed
it
,
and
Longcastle
being
demaunded
the
same
question
,
although
he
staggerd
at
the
first
,
could
not
strongly
deny
it
.
Uppon
which
affirmation
,
the
euidence
being
strong
against
Longcastle
,
it
was
pleaded
by
the
other
,
and
especially
by
Tauerner
that
they
were
not
the
men
who
were
then
at
the
action
:
and
whereas
there
was
no
more
but
the
direct
title
of
their
names
against
them
,
there
was
no
doubt
many
more
of
the
same
name
,
of
Tauerner
&
Moore
in
this
spatious
Kingdome
besides
themselues
:
to
the
resoluing
of
which
doubt
,
then
Moore
was
called
againe
and
demannded
by
the
Court
whether
they
three
namely
William
Longcastle
,
William
Tauerner
,
and
Iohn
Moore
,
were
not
the
men
each
in
particuler
Maister
Hals
factor
tooke
in
for
the
better
furnishing
his
ship
and
performance
of
his
voyage
at
P●…imoth
?
he
answeared
they
were
:
whether
they
three
were
not
the
three
men
feasted
with
Anthony
Wye
in
the
road
of
Sophy
in
Barba
rie
in
the
company
of
the
aforesaid
factor
in
the
said
ship
of
the
Vlisses
?
he
answeared
they
were
,
and
whether
the
said
Longcastle
,
Tauerner
and
Moore
,
leauing
their
promised
voyage
in
the
ayde
of
the
Vlisses
of
London
,
did
not
according
to
their
former
practise
,
offer
their
ontrage
against
the
Susan
of
Bristoll
in
manner
and
forme
as
they
stood
invited
?
when
he
affirmed
directly
they
were
the
men
.
Upon
which
,
Longcastle
desirde
of
their
Lordships
to
be
heard
,
and
inferd
that
he
denied
him
not
to
be
his
boy
,
but
intreated
of
the
Court
,
that
the
tongue
of
a
Pagan
,
an
Infidel
,
whose
testimonies
were
no
euidence
to
confirme
the
Iury
,
and
whose
words
were
to
be
held
in
no
regard
,
might
not
be
the
are
to
hew
downe
the
tree
of
his
life
,
but
if
that
his
transpressions
against
the
law
had
deserued
death
,
I
beseech
your
Lordships
quoth
he
,
let
the
tongue
of
a
christian
and
not
of
a
Pagan
cut
off
my
life
.
Which
words
appeared
vnto
all
eares
that
were
present
,
to
be
vttered
from
the
vch●…ncy
of
his
soule
,
and
from
the
Court
he
was
thus
resolued
.
That
where
he
desired
to
haue
the
oath
of
a
Christian
,
himselfe
,
&
the
Moore
had
confest
he
had
made
him
one
,
which
was
the
most
vertuo●…
&
blessedst
deede
that
he
did
showe
in
his
whole
life
:
but
then
Lordships
tould
him
withall
they
must
giue
him
to
vnderstand
,
that
it
was
not
the
approouement
of
his
tongue
,
nor
that
he
had
b●…ne
his
boy
which
made
them
giue
credit
,
that
now
they
stood
guilty
,
but
the
resolued
oath
of
Anthony
Wye
,
whose
ship
they
robbed
and
whose
goods
they
ransackt
,
who
had
seene
them
,
spoke
with
them
,
swor●…
against
them
,
I
and
themselues
had
labourd
to
compound
withall
(
and
wonne
to
keepe
out
of
the
Court
for
the
iniury
they
had
done
him
)
whereby
it
appeared
and
so
now
they
must
satis●…e
the
Iury
,
no
sunne
can
shine
clearer
to
shewe
vs
a
moate
,
then
this
eui●…ent
testimony
to
witnesse
thair
blemish
:
besides
,
that
from
the
time
of
their
imprisonment
in
Exeter
Gaole
,
till
this
houre
of
their
arraignment
,
not
one
of
them
all
that
can
well
bring
in
a
credible
certificat
how
well
or
ill
they
haue
spent
their
times
,
vppon
which
instructions
giuen
to
the
Iur●…
,
and
the
s●…ale
so
put
into
their
hands
,
to
weigh
the
condition
of
their
liues
the
Iurywent
forth
&
staid
not
long
ere
they
brought
them
in
guilty
,
at
which
sentence
against
them
,
Longcastle
&
Moore
spake
neuer
a
word
,
but
Tauerner
whether
he
thought
he
could
out
face
the
cause
,
or
that
he
feared
death
more
then
the
rest
,
for
my
part
I
will
not
iudge
,
but
he
grewe
vehement
,
and
called
for
a
booke
to
sweare
in
his
innocence
,
although
I
was
credibly
certified
both
his
Captaine
and
himselfe
did
after
in
the
prison
with
these
words
confesse
,
that
we
are
hartily
sorry
we
shall
be
hanged
now
for
a
petty
action
,
that
haue
merited
talke
in
matters
of
worth
.
So
hauing
their
sentence
,
they
were
conueyed
backe
to
the
Marshalsies
,
where
I
must
credibly
speake
of
them
,
they
behaued
their
liues
so
carefully
for
the
future
comfort
of
their
soules
,
as
if
they
had
neuer
bene
the
men
,
the
whole

actions

had
bene
addicted
to
such
an
vngodly
purposes

making
their
way
to
the
gate
of
saluation
,
by
confessing
their
sinnes
,
and
knocking
thereat
for
entrance
,
with
sorrowfull
sighes
,
and
repenting
hearts
,
which
no
doubt
flewe
open
vnto
them
:
they
were
three
men
who
were
neuer
seene
to
laugh
from
the
sentence
of
death
to
the
power
of
execution
thereof
:
they
desired
not
the
company
of
their
friends
▪
but
made
prayers
their
acquaintance
,
they
lamented
now
that
(
in
hope
to
gaine
a
little
breath
which
they
must
be
sure
to
loose
)
they
had
slandered
and
belyed
their
consciences
in
denying
their
crimes
,
they
freely
commended
their
transgressions
to
the
lawe
that
was
ordaind
to
punish
them

they
willingly
resignd
their
bodies

made
for
their
graue
,
and
most
religiously
gaue
vp
their
soules
vnto
Heauen
from
whence
it
was
giuen
them
:
and
so
from
creatures
of
wickednesse
hauing
created
themselues
Angels
of
goodnesse
,
from
practisers
of
folly
,
proued
counsellers
to
faith
,
and
so
from
the
sea
of
mischiefe
,
through
which
their
whol●…
pilgrimage
had
trauailed
,
making
their
bodies
the
fit
sepulchre
of
repentance
,
from
the
Marshalseys
as
the
rest
,
they
were
conueid
in
a
barge
to
Wapping
the
siluer
ore
borne
before
them
as
an
embleme
before
their
eyes
,
that
riches
they
looked
for
,
and
vniustly
sought
to
finde
it
at
Sea
,
where
the
Captaine
first
,
and
the
other
two
after
(
as

they

according

The
discourse
of
Minas
.
THis
William
Minas
was
a
Marriner
,
married
and
had
his
abiding
in
Cornewall
,
who
not
contented
with
that
sufficient
meanes
that
God
and
nature
had
prouided
for
him
,
being
(
as
so
was
most
of
them
all
)
a
man
of
comely
personage
,
and
of
an
able
body
,
by
vniust
courses
thought
to
strengthen
his
fortune
,
so
that
vsing
meanes
to
get
to
sea
in
a
pretty
ship
,
called
the
Concord
of
Plimouth
,
vpon
the
coast
of
Fraunce
he
met
with
a
Frenchman
,
and
as
the
custome
of
Pyrates
is
,
being
the
stronger
party
,
without
asking
her
leaue
,
he
ransacked
her
goods
:
but
as
it
is
certaine
,
he
that
once
endeuours
to
begin
to
steale
,
doth
straight
endeuour
and
learne
to
lye
,
since
lying
and
stealing
are
as
inseperable
companions
as
a
theefe
and
receiuer
,
so
that
Minas
had
a
colourable
tale
at
the
time
of
his
araignment
,
bearing
some
likelihood
of
truth
to
excuse
his
theft
.
Namely
that
making
home
from
Spaine
to
his
abiding
in
Cornewall
,
his
ship
(
the
Concord
)
beaten
with
weather
,
began
to
saile
and
put
himselfe
and
men
in
distresse
,
neere
the
●…ast
of
Fraunce
,
where
he
met
with
this
Frenchman
,
so
that
he
hauing
farre
to
saile
,
and
the
Frenchman
neere
his
arriuall
,
he
compounded
and
gaue
him
satisfaction
to
exchange
ships
with
him
,
&
so
dismissed
his
lading
from
his
to
the
Frenchmans
,
and
the
Frenchmans
to
his
,
promising
withall
,
with
this
condition
,
that
the
Frenchman
shold
receiue
his
ship
here
in
England
,
but
named
no
place
:
they
thus
agreed
the
Frenchman
departs
for
Fraunce
,
&
Minas
he
priuatly
in
the
night
puts
into
his
abiding
in
Cornewal
,
presently
absents
himselfe
for
three
quarters
of
a
yeare
,
giues
order
to
his
wife
vnder
that
cu●…ur
to
labor
his
protection
with
the
viceadmirall
,
and
leaues
the
ship
without
guide
or
owner
,
as
a
derelict
due
to
the
Lord
Admirall
,
at
A●…izor
in
the
bay
.
The
Frenchman
now
hauing
bene
robd
of
his
ship
&
goods
,
and
knew
by
an
Englishman
,
comes
and
expresses
his
iniury
to
the
high
court
of
admiralty
,
and
there
directly
deposes
,
that
he
was
robd
,
neuer
inquiring
for
his
ship
nor
feeding
himselfe
with
hope
that
ere
he
should
heare
of
her
till
at
last
welcome
tidings
is
brought
where
his
ship
anchors
,
and
as
a
derelict
she
was
ceazed
to
the
Lord
Admirals
vse
,
vnto
whose
honour
by
petition
complayning
of
his
wrong
,
and
proouing
the
godds
to
be
his
,
his
Lordship
giues
order
she
is
straight
restord
him
,
and
warrants
are
directedout
for
the
apprehension
of
Minas
,
which
he
hauing
intelligence
of
,
lurking
close
or
not
daring
yet
to
be
seene
abroad
,
he
vseth
an
inward
meane
by
agreement
to
stop
the
Frenchmans
complaint
:
the
Frenchman
on
the
other
side
,
knowing
he
had
lost
his
goods
,
and
considering
belike
,
that
his
life
might
make
him
some
satisfaction
,
but
no
restitution
,
consents
to
the
composition
,
take
●…his
mony
,
Nay
,
is
content
(
in
regard
he
was
bound
to
it
)
to
goe
to
the
Uiceadmirall
,
or
Court
of
admiralty
,
and
there
to
vnsay
what
before
he
had
iustified
,
that
is
to
say
,
that
his
shippe
was
lent
and
not
stolne
,
which
being
done
,
Minas
appeares
,
not
like
an
owle
that
s
seene
but
in
the
night
,
but
like
a
bisd
that
flutters
by
day
,
reuels
it
gallantly
and
securely
,
and
thinkes
now
in
his
heart
that
all
is
safe
.
But
he
that
hath
commission
vnder
the
Lord
Admirall
for
the
discouering
and
routingout
of
such
infectious
members
,
and
the
law
most
carefully
on
the
other
side
,
not
suffering
such
offenders
to
●…ubberouer
their
iniquities
,
to
the
encouraging
of
others
,
and
hartning
them
to
these
co●…ses
,
brings
me
this
Pyrate
to
apprehention
,
from
apprehention
to
arraignement
,
where
his
owne
confession
and
the
former
circumstances
duely
examined
,
it
was
made
euident
by
the
Court
to
the
Iury
,
how
euident
this
packe
and
close
far●…le
of
knauery
,
was
ripped
vp
:
wherevpon
according
to
the
Inditement
,
he
was
brought
in
by
verdit
guilty
,
and
accordingly
receiued
sentence
,
from
the
Marshalseis
he
was
conueid
to
Wapping
,
where
repenting
him
of
his
sinnes
,
he
confest
the
fact
,
onely
labourd
to
acquit
the
reputation
of
a
worshipfull
Gentleman
,
that
stood
tainted
in
suspition
to
haue
contriued
and
dealt
with
him
in
concealing
this
pyracy
,
and
so
yeelded
himselfe
to
death
.
Of
Thomas
.
NOt
to
lengthen
out
paper
with
this
poore
fellow
,
of
more
then
appeared
either
by
his
confession
,
arraignment
or
execution
,
it
is
onely
thus
,
he
was
apprehended
vpon
suspition
,
making
saile
of
some
goods
,
and
being
strictly
examined
,
he
presently
confessed
what
he
had
done
,
whome
he
had
robd
,
and
in
whose
company
:
namely
in
the
company
of
one
Lawding
Barry
,
that
is
a
pyrate
new
,
and
was
set
on
shore
in
Ireland
:
vpon
which
confession
being
arraignd
,
&
condemned
he
amongst
the
other
suffred
death
.
Thus

I
truely

,
the
course
of
his
life
which
men
should
be
sorry
for
,
and
the
goodnes
of
his
death
,
who
(
though
enforced
to
be
vntimely
)
yet
men
should
reioyce
in
it
:
eight
of
his
company
with
those
that
suffered
with
him
,
namely
Peter
Brush
Fisherman
and
Maister
of
his
ship
,
Iohn
Spencer
and
Thomas
Spencer
brothers
,
at
whose
death
it
drew
pitty
in
all
the
beholders
,
for
the
elder
suffering
first
,
and
then
the
younger
turned
off
,
he
hung
beating

was
Samuell

Richard

Ierom
Lockey

these
,
though
they

they
were
of

,
betweene

reader

beest
pleased
with
the
former
,
and
desirest
to
be
satisfied
of
the
rest
,
to
giue
thee
content
,
I
haue
writ
as
followeth
.
The
discourse
of
Captaine
Downes
.
THis
Downes
had
somtimes
liued
a
hopefull
marchant
in
a
place
called
Langraue
neere
Colchester
in
the
countie
of
Essex
,
till
his
superfluous
expence
&
retchles
life
made
him
crack
his
credit
amongst
men
ofworth
and
those
he
had
trading
with
,
his
word
was
esteemed
as
sufficient
as
his
bond
,
and
his
seale
would
haue
bene
acceptably
receiued
for
larg●…
sommes
,
till
neglecting
his
trafick
and
following
the
sensualleties
of
his
pleasures
,
he
had
so
farre
disparaged
both
,
that
hauing
brought
himselfe
behinde
hand
,
and
in
danger
to
those
,
had
put
him
in
trust
,
that
for
feare
of
imprisonment
he
durst
not
be
seene
,
he
resolued
vpon
these
vniust
courses
of
piracy
:
he
was
a
fellow
but
wearish
&
simple
in
show
,
but
more
violent
,
cruell
and
merciles
,
then
any
of
the
rest
:
when
he
was
at
sea
he
considered
not
what
belonged
to
the
actions
he
vndertooke
,
but
resolued
,
that
the
finishing
of
whatsoeuer
he
pretended
was
well
,
so
it
were
don
:
in
which
resolution
furnishing
himselfe
to
wrong
,
as
by
his
owne
confession
it
appeared
both
at
his
araignment
,
and
was
read
against
him
vpon
record
,
namely
that
about
midsomer
last
was
three
yeares
he
came
into
Foy
,
in
Cornwal
,
in
a
Portugal
Caruil
,
laden
with
Sugers
,
Wines
,
and
other
commodities
,
which
he
and
his
company
tooke
about
the
Madera●…s
:
and
as
he
inferred
by
vertue
and
strength
of
a
commission
graunted
from
the
states
of
the
Low
Countries
,
and
the
Captaine
of
the
ship
,
being
one
Albret
Albertson
of
Ankmers
in
Holland
,
and
which
prize
they
had
lawfully
tooke
,
and
sold
the
most
part
of
the
purchase
thereof
in
Foy
,
either
by
generall
or
particuler
sale
,
to
whomesoeuer
would
bye
it
.
Upon
which
coulourable
excuse
,
though
there
were
more
then
this
inditement
against
him
,
and
he
manifested
to
the
honourable
of
the
Court
to
be
a
knowne
offender
,
it
was
yet
askt
of
him
,
where
that
commission
was
to
beare
testimony
in
his
innosence
?
which
he
not
being
able
to
show
,
it
was
by
the
Court
told
him
it
was
no
maruail
that
he
could
not
,
since
vpon
their
knowledge
,
about
the
time
he
related
there
was
a
strict
prohibition
by
Proclamation
for
any
English
to
combine
with
the
hollanders
in
any
such
attempts
,
so
that
he
being
driuen
to
silence
in
that
behalfe
,
and
his
excuse
confuted
with
apparant
truth
,
it
was
yet
demanded
of
him
who
and
what
they
were
,
that
were
then
in
his
company
besides
the
Captaine
,
Albert
Albretson
,
at
the
time
of
this
pyracy
?
to
which
article
he
answered
there
was
one
Iohn
Giles
,
maister
Richard
Ward
and
P●…hlip
Downes
saylors
,
Water
Cox
,
Hercules
Kellam
&
one
Robert
Gilly
of
Perin
,
but
the
rest
of
there
names
,
being
most
of
them
Dutchmen
,
he
could
not
remember
,
if
these
then
(
answered
the
court
)
weare
in
thy
company
and
as
thou
saiest
the
outrage
committed
was
don
by
commission
from
the
states
:
to
purge
thy selfe
and
that
it
may
appeare
though
heere
thou
standst
accused
thou
art
yet
both
a
good
seruant
to
God
and
a
faithfull
subiect
to
thy
King
,
deliuer
then
where
thou
partedst
company
with
them
,
when
thou
l●…ftest
them
,
and
how
in
thine
own
behalfe
they
may
be
heard
of
,
the
which
without
halting
it
appearing
to
the
Court
he
was
not
able
to
doe
,
his
owne
examination
taken
before
the
right
worshipfull
S.
Daniell
Don
Iudge
,
and
others
of
the
high
Court
of
Admiraltie
,
vnto
which
he
had
set
his
hand
,
was
directly
read
against
him
,
the
purpose
whereof
appeared
as
it
followeth
.
That
the
sixt
of
October
was
twelue
months
,
or
there
abouts
,
he
shipped
himselfe
at
Plimouth
,
with
one
Captaine
Browne
in
a
small
barke
of
some
sixteene
tunnes
,
bound
for
Ginny
as
the
company
told
him
,
being
manned
with
fifteene
men
all
English
,
which
Browne
and
himselfe
neere
Silly
met
with
Captaine
Tomkins
,
in
whose
company
shipping
themselues
they
plyed
for
Seuerne
,
but
in
their
course
they
were
forced
ashore
neere
Swansey
in
Wales
,
where
some
suspition
rising
against
them
,
through
their
misordered
life
,
the
whole
company
being
a
land
,
from
the
Pincke
.
and
Tomkins
,
one
Garret
and
himselfe
,
more
bold
to
put
themselues
in
hazzard
then
the
rest
,
they
were
apprehended
by
Lewis
Mansell
and
by
him
committed
to
the
common
Gaole
at
Cardiffe
,
where
after
instructions
taken
how
they
had
liued
,
they
were
from
Constable
to

,
directed
towards
London
,
and
were
forward
on
their
way
so
farre
as
Reading
,
at
a
village
neere
the
which
,
lodging
all
night
,
and
the
Constable
not
vnderstanding
what
a
charge
he
had
in
hand
,
leauing
but
a
slight
guard
to
attend
them
,
the
next
morning
before
day
,
they
brake
out
of
the
hous●…
▪
and
from
them
who
had
them
in
charge
,
and
so
escaped
for
London
.
As
also
being
demaunded
what
riches
they
had
,
where
they
forsooke
the
Pincke
,
he
confest
he
had
in
his
pur●…e
,
twenty
barbery
duckets
of

,
the
which
one
Roger
Place
of

three

all
according

not

that
this
with
some

he
came

he
answered

it

together
by
Captaine
Tomkins

won

being
then
questiond
,
if

he
had
neuer

vnto
the
which
he
pleaded
he

neuer

as
he
formerly
confest
in

Spanish
Caruill

in

Caruill
they

made

there
lay
at

going

againe
they
met

Unto

,
It
was
then
demanded
of
him
if
be
had
neuer
heard
of
a
scotch
ship
,
called
the
Royall
of
Lesth
?
at
the
very
name
of
which
he
was
presently
astonished
,
for
he
did
expect
&
was
confident
,
that
although
his
owne
conscience
bare
record
against
him
,
for
many
offences
committed
in
that
case
,
yet
hoping
that
the
testimony
of
that
Pyracy
would
not
be
brought
in
against
him
,
he
doubted
not
but
for
want
of
euident
witnesse
to
acquit
himselfe
of
all
the
rest
.
Yet
to
the
demaund
replying
with
a
a
faint
answer
,
he
said
,
he
had
neuer
knowne
of
any
such

as
was

in

they
tooke

whipped

with

stil
demanding

they
walled
them
about
the

with

wrinching
their
foreheads

with
such

torture
,
It

Then

though
that
he

told

the
truth

they
esteemed
it
for

commaunded
straight

:
while
they
not
fully
satisfied
with
what
he
liad
confessed
and
they
partly
had
found
,
they
fell
to
ransacking
a
fresh

and
tooke
this
Iohn
Shipmans
chest

his

tooke
out
from

and
so
rifling
them
of
all
their
goods

but
their

,
they
deliuered
them

againe
their

and
departed
in

Being
then
demaunded
whether
Iohn

appeare

To

was

comming

with

being
so
certaine
of
these
men
both
by
their
names

countenances
,
his
brother
and
himselfe
were
both
eager
in
their
pursuit
,
not
so
much
he
protested
in
desire
of
their
bloods
,
as
to
haue
some
satisfaction
for
the
goods
they
had
rob
bed
from
them
of
other
mens
,
and
was
put
in
their
trust
,
though
not
caring
for
their
owne
:
in
which
dilligentinquest
,
it
was
the
fortune
of
this
examinates
brother
Thomas
Shipman
,
to
happen
vpon
this
Captain
Downes
,
&
caused
him
to
apprehended
in
Wales
,
from
whence
he
was
sent
towards
London
,
but
by
the
way
making
an
escape
,
which
caused
their
pursuit
to
be
fresh
against
him
they
were
the
meanes
that
after
he
was
arrested
in
Cornewall
,
committed
prisoner
by
one
Maister
Resworricke
,
this
is
the
man
,
and
all
this
is
the
man
,
and
this
is
the
perfect
truth
by
the
oath
he
hath
taken
.
Unto
all
which
he
neither
hauing
power
to
deny
,
nor
excuse
so
shamefull
a
truth
,
but
by
his
filence
to
the
euidence
approued
his
guilt
,
he
as
the
former
was
by
verdit
conuicted
:
and
though
by
labor
of
his
father
,
and
the
assistance
of
some
friends
,
and
in
especially
of
such
whome
he
had
formerly
wronged
,
in
hope
to
draw
some
satisfaction
from
him
,
he
was
repreeued
that
morning
when
the

his

hauing
from

iust
proceedings
,

the
ouerlooking
of
the

,
euidence
and
examinations
of
them
all
and
finding
his
actions
more
hatefull
then
any
of
the
rest
in
the
morning
had
suffered
,
expresse
charge
was
sent
for
his
present
execution
,
while
he
stood
imboldened
with
hope
of
life
,
as
one
vnworthy
to
liue
or
haue
taste
of
any
fanour
,
when
other
of
more
merrit
,
partly
for
the
like
,
yet
not
for
so
grieuous
offences
had
suffered
death
,
So
that
at

of

clocke
in

,
he
was
conueyd
from
the

to
Wapping

where
as
strange
was
his

,
so
stubborn
was
he
at
his
end
,
scarce
making
any
outward
shew
or
appearance
of
a
mortified
man
:
heauen
graunt
that
he
made
him
more
rectified
within
:
since
not
two
houres
before
his
execution
,
he
was
heard
boastingly
to
report
of
the
worth
of
his
robberies
,
as
if
there
had
bene
credit
in
doing
ill
,
namely
how
many
seueral
pyracies
he
&
his
company
committed
in
the
habit
of
maskers
,
with
visards
on
their
faces
,
and
without
speaking
a
word
,
making
cruelty
the
organ
to
vtter
their
mindes
,
wherby
neither
their
names
nor
their
fauours
were
to
that
day
knowne
to
the
iniurd
Marchants
,
notwithstanding
they
had
seuerally

many
times
robd
those
who

formerly
knowne

of

wishing

Being

about

not

I
met

after
some

passed
betwixt

finding
me
belike
a
fit
subiect
to
be
wrought
vpon
for

he
perswaded
me
downe
to
Casen

where
he
brought

acquainted
with
Captaine
Sacall
,
with
whose
delightfull
discourse
of
the
life
at
Sea
,
his
itching
pronuses
of
the
raising
of
my

,
and
the
aspect
of
the
riches
which
he
gaue

to
behold
,
I
was
so
alterd
from
what
I
had
bene
,
so
coynd
to
a
new
disposition
,
and
so
bewitched
with
his
inticements
that
my
heart
had
consented
to
be
one
of
their
crue
,
ere
he
had
fully
perswaded
me
,
or
my
tongue
could
vtter
my
voluntary
&
free
resolution
:
for
which
forwardnes
of
mine
,
in
a
neat
ship
be
readily
had
called
the
Iacob

by
the
perswasion
of
the

and
some
liking

seemed
he
tooke
towards
me
himselfe
,
he
made
me
Captaine
and
to
Sea

are
bound
,
where
neere
the
straights
,
wee
met
with
a
welthy
prize
,
entertaind
a
long
and
cruell
fight
with
her
,
the
victory
yeelding
to
neither
part
,
till
most
of
the
men
on
the
aduerse
part
were
either
slaine
or
hurt
,
whereby
at
length
,
our
pursuit
being
eager
,
and
their
necessity
preuailing
with
them
,
they
were
at

compeld
to
yeeld
,
of

goods
we
hauing
made

to
our
best
aduantage
,
when
we
came
to
parting
euery
single
share
,
the
worst
and
meanest
in
the
ship
came
to
forty
pound
,
wherein
I
must
needes
say
Captaine
Sacall
made
it
a
conscience
to
giue
euery
one
his
due
,
rather
with
the
most
to
a
pound
then
to
deduct
a
penny
from
any
:
of
this
prize
Captaine
Sacall
had
for
his
share
three
thousand
pound
and
I
had
fifteene
hundred
,
with
which
purchase
and
profit
●…o
highly
encouraged
,
I
continued
for
the
most
p●…rt
spending
it
as
loosely
ashore
,
as
it
was
gaind
●…autly
at
Sea
,
approouing
it
to
be
true
,
that
goods
got
by
the
Deuill
,
are
most
commonly
spent
vpon
his
dam
:
or
as
we
vse
to
say
in
English
,
b●…ly
gaind
and
worse
spent
:
for
whores
doe
infecte
the
soule
with
more
leprosie
and
lothed
spots
then
the
body
:
in
whose
company
I
was
taught
to
make
my
actions
to
be
reasonable
,
the
which
I
now
approue
to
be
frantick
rashnes
,
where
my
wil
learnt
to
haue
power
aboue
my
vnderstonding
,
by
whome
wearing
the
sight
that
Lust
had
giuen
me
,
I
accounted
that
beacons
of
strumpets
eies
(
who
neuer
blaze
but
they
betoken
il
)
the
●…dstone
of
my
life
and
the
seamarkes
of
my
safety
,
by
whome
being
guided
as
the
markes
of
falce
knowledge
,
I
am
now
runne
on
the
rocks
of
destruction
,
whose
allurements
are
worse
the
spiders
cobwebs
for
they
weare
their
fatall
weapons
,
not
to
catch
birds
but
flies
but
these
make
their
●…nchantments
so
strong
,
that
neither
miad
wife
,
husband
youth
nor
age
,
whosoeuer
they
happen
on
,
but
if
they
will
attend
theft
Syrens
notes
,
ware
is
not
sooner
melted
by
the
fierce
fire
,
then
they
wasted
by
the
flame
of
them
:
husbands
neglect
their
wiues
,
wiues
loath
their
children
,
youth
their
profit
,
age
their
health●…
and
in
the
wasting
of
all
this
,
they
are
accompaned
with
ryot
,
who
shines
like
a
gallant
in
silke
to
day
,
&
is
turnd
to
be
more
miserable
then
an
hospitall
to
morrow
:
dicing
in
the
day
,
drinking
at
night
,
throwing
with
one
hand
our
wealth
away
from
vs
and
tossing
infirmities
and
drop●…es
into
our
bodies
with
the
other
.
But
the
report
of
these
sinnes
being
no
refuge
to
my
shame
and
more
fitter
to
be
repented
,
then
by
me
to
be
recorded
,
I
must
now
tell
,
I
arriued
in
England
,
and
my
name
being
knowne
,
there
was
strict
waite
laid
for
my
apprehention
.
But
see
how
it
happened
:
a
kinsman
of
mine
who
bore
my
name
being
by
some
officers
,
who
had
my
search
in
charge
,
was
suspected
and
imprisoned
for
me
,
and
in
the
end
knowing
of
my
abiding
,
compeld
to
giue
a
loath
intelligence
for
his
owne
discharge
,
he
being
hardly
set
against
by
those
were
my
aduersaries
:
vpon
whose
instructions
I
being
apprehended
in
the
west
country
,
and
from
thence
conueyd
to
the
Marshalseys
,
I
there
continued
since
the
beginning
of
the
last
sommer
,
till
the
time
of
my
conuiction
,
where
as
in
a
Mirror
I
beheld
the
miseries
of
other
men
,
and
began
now
to
consider
of
mine
owne
:
after
my
conuiction
I
was
repreeud
,
by
the
painefull
labour
and
purse
of
some
of
my
allies
,
to
restore
the
memory
of
our
name
vndetected
:
&
now
when
I
little
feard
or
thought
of
death
,
I
am
brought
to
be
executed
:
at
which
place
humbled
before
the
seat
of
his
mercy
,
I
aske
pardon
at
the
hands
of
God
,
and
forgiuenes
from
the
hearts
of
men
,
and
so
thus
goe
vp
the
lather
to
my
death
,
to
goe
down
I
doubt
not
to
a
peaceful
graue
,
and
to
rise
at
length
to
my
sauiour
in
heauen
.
Of
all
which
Pyrates
,
gentle
Reader
,
if
thou
hast
had
intelligence
,
of
more
then
I
haue
heere
set
downe
,
I
should
haue
bene
glad
to
haue
had
thy
instructions
,
But
to
him
that
before
this
hath
not
knowne
so
much
,
I
pray
him
to
take
these
collections
thankfully
,
onely
of
Captaine
Iennings
himself
&
William
Tauerner
,
of
Captain
Longcastles
company
somewhat
omitted
at
the
time
of
their
execution
,
I
will
remember
now
to
set
downe
.
Captain
Iennings
being
the
first
in
the
commission
directed
to
maister
Smith
the
marshall
of
the
Admiralty
,
as
he
was
first
arraigned
and
conuicted
,
so
he
was
the
first
at
the
appointed
place
to
suffer
execution
:
and
being
called
by
his
name
,
to
commit
himselfe
to
God
and
to
goe
vp
the
ladder
&
suffer
death
,
he
made
answer
thus
:
That
he
hopedno
friendly
nor
christianly
censurer
would
hould
so
vnconscionably
an
opinion
of
him
to
e●…emso
carlesly
of
the
good
&
future
estate
of
his
●…oule
,
asto
come
in
the
face
of
so
many
spectators
and
the
tree
appointed
for
his
execution
,
with
a
conscience
laden
with
any
thoughts
,
but
repentance
or
trust
in
any
thing
but
in
the
mercy
of
the
redeemer
of
all
mankinde
:
and
therefore
what
he
had
to
speake
,
was
not
to
theworld
,
but
to
those
of
his
company
,
whome
he
had
partly
drawne
to
this
folly
,
&
bene
causers
of
their
fall
:
vnto
whom
turning
he
spake
thus
:
my
friends
,
you
see
we
are
brought
to
take
our
earthly
farwell
the
one
of
the
other
,
and
I
am
to
conduct
you
,
the
way
I
haue
heretofore
lead
you
on
in
place
of
danger
,
more
induring
then
when
bullets
like
haile
haue
falne
about
our
eares
,
yet
you
fearelesly
and
venterously
haue
followed
me
,
your
Captaine
,
who
haue
as
brauely
brought
you
of
as
I
haue
bouldly
brought
you
on
:
be
not
dismaid
now
to
do
the
like
,
for
where
heertofore
I
haue
driuen
you
through
the
footsteps
of
transgression
on
earth
,
I
now
wish
you
be
all
as
resolu'd
as
I
goe
before
you
the
highway
to
my
saluation
in
heauen
,
where
we
shall
meete
amongst
the
fellowship
of
Angels
,
although
we
are
here
deuided
from
the
company
of
men
:
then
be
no
more
dreaded
to
follow
,
then
I
guided
by
the
mercy
of
Christ
,
outdaring
death
,
clime
vp
this
hill
he
hath
built
for
me
:
and
also
resolutly
going
vp
the
ladder
without
saying
any
other
but
his
prayers
,
and
his
thankes
giuing
,
singing
a
psalme
he
was
turnd
of
.
And
as
for
Tauerner
he
neere
seemed
to
looke
downe
on
the
ground
,
from
the
time
of
his
comming
to
the
execution
place
to
the
instant
of
his
death
:
aduancing
vp
the
ladder
he
said
thus
:
I
doe
faithfully
assure
my selfe
this
is
Iacobs
ladder
,
on
whose
steps
I
assure
I
shall
be
reard
vp
to
heauen
,
and
so
he
suffered
execution
.
