The winde S: S: W: a good gale and faire weather, so we stood W: and by N: 4: or 5: leages a watche, all this daye. the winde increaced and was a great storme all the night: At(?) about midnight our reeradmirall putt forthe 2 lightes, wherby we knewe, that some mischance had befallen her. we answeared her with 2: lightes again, and bare vp to her, so neere as we durst (for the sea went verye highe and she laye a backe stayes by the Lee) and havinge hayled her we thought founde she had sprunge a leake: but she had broken some of her shroudes: so we went a little a head of her, and bringinge our foresayle a backe stayes we stayed for her: and about 2: howers after she filled her sayles, and we stood our Course togither. but our Capt went not to rest till 4: of the Clocke and some others of vs slept but little that night

The storme continued all this daye till 3: in the afternoone; and the sea went verye highe, so as our shippe could make no waye, beinge able to beare no more but our mainsayl about midmast high: at 3: there fell  May a great showre of rayne, which layed the winde. and the winde shiftinge into the w: we tacked, and stood into the head sea, to avoyde the roulinge of our shippe, and by that meanes we made no waye, the Sea beatinge vs backe as muche as the winde putt vs forwarde. we had still could weather, and our people were so acquainted with stormes, as they were not sick nor troubled, thoughe we were muche tossed 48: howers together, viz: 24: duringe the storme, and as longe the next night and daye followinge when Wensday 12as we laye as it were a at Hull, for want of winde, and roulinge continually in a highe growne sea.1 This daye was close and raynye.

Complaint was made to our Capt of some iniurye that one of the vnder officers of the shippe had doone to one of our landmen he called him, and examined the Cause, and Comanded him to be tyed vp by the handes, and a weight to be hanged about his necke, but at the intercession of the Governor (with some difficulty) he remitted his punishment.
