to_o the_o right_n honourable_a the_o knight_n citizen_n and_o burgess_n assemble_v in_o parliament_n the_o answer_n of_o the_o east-india-company_n to_o two_o print_a paper_n of_o mr._n samuel_n white_a one_o entitle_v his_o case_n the_o other_o a_o true_a account_n of_o the_o passage_n at_o mergen_n not_o to_o trouble_v the_o honourable_a house_n with_o hard_a reflection_n upon_o the_o complainant_n or_o rhetorical_a flourish_n which_o prove_v nothing_o but_o his_o passion_n and_o want_n of_o solid_a ground_n to_o support_v his_o complaint_n or_o justify_v himself_o we_o shall_v only_o exhibit_v to_o your_o honour_n the_o plain_a proof_n of_o fact_n we_o have_v receive_v from_o india_n which_o we_o presume_v will_v evince_v the_o complainant_n not_o only_o to_o be_v a_o very_a ill_a man_n but_o a_o great_a interloper_n and_o a_o great_a enemy_n to_o this_o kingdom_n in_o general_n and_o the_o premeditate_a contriver_n of_o the_o death_n of_o those_o english_a man_n who_o he_o and_o his_o accomplice_n have_v first_o inveigle_v into_o the_o king_n of_o syam_n service_n and_o afterward_o destroy_v in_o a_o time_n of_o truce_n by_o wicked_a art_n particularise_v in_o the_o annex_v proof_n when_o he_o observe_v they_o be_v resolve_v to_o return_v to_o their_o duty_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o public_a service_n of_o their_o own_o country_n by_o the_o annex_v proof_n we_o think_v it_o will_v likewise_o appear_v how_o little_a distinction_n he_o make_v between_o the_o king_n of_o syam_n estate_n and_o his_o own_o and_o how_o often_o he_o please_v to_o call_v ship_n and_o their_o whole_a lading_n sometime_o his_o own_o and_o sometime_o the_o same_o ship_n again_o the_o king_n of_o syam_n as_o will_v best_o serve_v his_o present_a design_n and_o therefore_o he_o may_v as_o well_o say_v he_o acquire_v three_o time_n the_o estate_n he_o claim_v as_o half_a of_o that_o he_o pretend_v to_o have_v have_v the_o annex_v proof_n we_o think_v do_v

to_o the_o great_a scandal_n and_o dishonour_n of_o the_o english_a nation_n english_a deserter_n be_v employ_v by_o he_o in_o those_o lawless_a and_o injurious_a attempt_n by_o the_o dutch_a law_n in_o india_n who_o be_v a_o nation_n as_o tenacious_a of_o their_o liberty_n as_o any_o people_n upon_o earth_n and_o by_o the_o law_n and_o practice_n of_o all_o other_o european_a nation_n there_o a_o deserter_n or_o interloper_n be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v confiscate_v but_o to_o suffer_v death_n although_o the_o english_a judicature_n in_o india_n have_v never_o proceed_v in_o such_o case_n further_o than_o according_a to_o their_o charter_n to_o condemn_v such_o interloper_n ship_n and_o good_n one_o half_a for_o the_o use_n of_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o other_o half_a to_o the_o
