same be not laden, and to inquire diligently to know the owners
thereof, if you can, and what commodity the same is that is so
brought aboard to be laden; if you cannot know the owners of such

you shall make a just copy of that which is laden, reciting the
parcels, the marks and numbers of everything plainly, which you
shall likewise deliver to the said bookkeeper to the use aforesaid.

cockets and letters to the agent, and shall show him all such
letters as you have received of any person or persons privately or

received any privy letters to be delivered, you shall all that in
you lieth let the delivery of them at your arriving in Russia; and
also if you have, or do receive, or shall know any other that doth

or to be delivered there to any person or persons from any person or
