English mens traiding with the Indians is truly sett downe in
this Articulate and this deponent in all his traiding with the
Indyans for himselfe or others, never did or should kepe,
neither ever did know anie other men kepe anie particular
accompt of all things sold to the Indyans, But onely at the
end of the voiage to see what was remaineing, and what was
bought.
Ad 18. Dicit et deponit, That the articulate supply 1632 was
not sufficient or enough for the said traid or Plantation and
that the men and other goods articulate were excedingly
wanting and necessarily supplyed by the said Clayborne,
Likewise this deponent knoweth that notwithstanding the
supply which came out of England about December 1634.
manie things were wanting to the said Plantation and traid
And supplyed by the said Claiborne as is mentioned in the
aforesaid second scedule, and that the Kettles, dutch hoes,
Coats, Blanckitts Scrapers and as is articulate, were not good
trucke, and would have yeilded farr better profitt in Dutch
Cloth and axes.

Ad 9. Articulum Allegation Dicit et deponit, That he this
deponent for the reasons articulate the said Clayborne did
procure divers freemen to plant upon the said Plantation and
did hire divers servants And this deponent believeth that
without the helpe and labour of both the said freemen and
servants the said Trade and Plantation could not possibly have
ben upheld and mayntayned and that as is articulate the said
Freemen did not buy any Beaver but did helpe to trade and
did doe other things for the love of the said Clayborne that
they would not otherwise have donne without good satisfaction
for their paynes.
Ad 10. Dicit et deponit That he well remembreth that for
the two first yeares in which this deponent stayed on the said
Hand all the servants did soe dey and were soe hired as is
Articulate and that the mens wayges Imployments and other
things concerning the said servants and concerning this depo-
nent and others mentioned in the articulate Accompts are true
