Whereas Capt Stanfast questions or power in putting in a Comander, wee doe deny any such power in o'selvs, neither doe wee desire any such power, but leave that to him selfe.
And whereas he intends not to goe to London directly, o' intent is not to hinder, neither he nor the shipp, nor both of them to goe whither he pleaseth, pvided that he payeth us here or wages that is due, and cleare us here.
ffurther whereas he demandeth three thousand pound secu- rity, we find the ship to be alreadie ingaged for or wages, fur- ther we have no need to hyre a ship, & therefore deny the giveing of any security.
And whereas you injoyne us to take in such freight as shall present, pvided that he make the ship fitting to take in merchts goods,
[Page 273.]
wee shall not deny the takeing of them in, if so be that he accept of going to London. This Answr or reply was noti- fyed to the sª Capt Barnabie Stanfast the day & yeare above written by mee the sd Notary Quod virtute officy: &c:
Also Capt Stanfast had a Copie under my hand.
