from thence to goe to the everlasting prison remedilesse, 

 and so we were returned from the scaffold from whence 

 we came. Thomas Marks, & Thomas Ellis were called, 

 and had sentence to serve in the Galleys eight yeeres, 

 and Humphrey Roberts, and John Emery to serve Rvc 

 yeeres, & so were returned to the benches on the scaffold, 

 where we sate till foure of clocke in the afternoone. 

 Then we were led againe to the Inquisition house, from 

 whence we were brought. The next day in the morning 

 Bresinia the treasurer came thither to us, and delivered 

 to every one of us his sentence in writing. 1 with the 

 rest were sent to the Gallies, where we were chained 

 foure and foure together : every mans daily allowance 

 was 26. ounces of course blacke bisket and water, our 

 clothing for the whole yeere two shirts, two paire of 

 breeches of course canvas, a red coat of course cloth,

 S. Lucar, at sea, off the southermost Cape, we met an
