Manuscript, in a single hand, of answers in connection with the report of the committee appointed to inquire into the condition of the navy, dated 1618, and the reforms proposed by that committee. Issues discussed in the manuscript include the amounts of ammunition stored in the Tower; the alleged corruption of officers; whether the ordnance or the Navy has control of the making of ship carriages; and the relationship between merchants' and the king's prices for ordinance and shot. Several of the exceptions concern the role of the East India Company as it impinges on the role of the Navy.
