_Answr._ No I never said any such Thing. MARK.[1]

_Quest._ Did you ever tell Phoebe or Phillis that the Week before
your master dyed, that you went over the Ferry to see Robbin to get
some more Poison, and that he came over the Ferry in another Boat and
so you mist each other and that he Robbin pretended to the Ferry-man
