The Partners.

Are those Timbers, which are Bolted to the Beames, and doe compasse the shoot in the Mast at the Deck: and are the strength that doe keepe up the Mast Steddy in the Stepp. And also that it should not Rowle-out the Ship-sides; There are Part∣ners at the second Deck, in the same nature, but the Missen hath but one paire of Partners: The Mast doth use to be wedged fast in these, from stirring or wagging; yet I have seene some Ships that would not saile well, unlesse the Mast were loose) and as they terme it, had leave to play in the Partners, but in a Storme it is dangerous to let the Mast have any play, for feare of wronging the Partners, which if they should give way, there is no remedie but to cutt the Mast by the Board.
