The Enclosure:-Examination of John Moore, aged 20 years; Dover, 16 June, 1603. Was born at St. Germans in Cornwall. His father being dead five years past and leaving him no maintenance, hath since employed himself at the sea in divers voyages. In July last went in a pinnace with Sir William Monson, and being in danger to be castaway by shipwreck off the coast of Spain, was by one Isack an Englishman carried into Barbary; thence by a Fleming brought to Flushing; thence he travelled by land to Antwerp, Brussels, Douai, Mons, St. Omer, and so to Calais, whence he was transported in a French bark amongst other passengers to Dover. Touching his religion, will not make answer till he come to some other place. Will not take the oath of his Majesty's supremacy.
