A44078	Humble proposals for the relief, encouragement, security and happiness of the loyal, couragious seamen of England, in their lives and payment, in the service of our Most Gracious King William, and the defence of these nations humbly presented to the two most Honourable Houses, the Lords and Commons of England, in Parliament assembled / by a faithful subject of His Majesty, and servant to the Parliament and nation, and the seamen of England, in order for safety and security of all aforesaid, W. Hodges ; to which is added, a dialogue concerning the art of ticket-buying, in a discourse between Honesty, Poverty, Cruelty and Villany, concerning that mystery of iniquity, and ruin of the loyal seamen.

will_v be_v too_o short_a to_o expect_v a_o real_a blessing_n and_o comfortable_a encouragement_n as_o we_o may_v wish_v but_o that_o the_o seaman_n will_v be_v so_o much_o opprese_v and_o the_o ship_n ruin_v and_o spoil_a more_o and_o more_o until_o there_o be_v some_o outward_a reformation_n at_o least_o if_o not_o a_o true_a and_o sound_a reformation_n of_o life_n and_o manner_n and_o if_o the_o general_a instruction_n print_v and_o give_v to_o the_o captain_n and_o lieutenant_n of_o ship_n by_o the_o admiralty_n be_v mind_v aright_o it_o will_v mend_v many_o thing_n and_o therefore_o deserve_v to_o be_v inquire_v into_o in_o draw_v up_o the_o method_n of_o the_o well-government_n of_o our_o ship_n and_o man_n and_o the_o first_o paragraph_n of_o it_o be_v that_o god_n be_v due_o worship_v and_o that_o twice_o a_o day_n and_o all_o profaneness_n drunkenness_n swear_v and_o curse_v be_v discountenance_v and_o punish_v and_o the_o commander_n that_o allow_v it_o turn_v out_o and_o we_o shall_v meet_v the_o lord_n by_o repentance_n both_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n and_o cry_v to_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v meet_v we_o with_o his_o mercy_n that_o we_o may_v by_o righteousness_n be_v a_o exalt_a nation_n and_o not_o for_o our_o sin_n be_v a_o ruin_a people_n and_o therefore_o 59_o it_o be_v well_o if_o every_o ship_n in_o england_n that_o carry_v but_o ten_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o carry_v that_o excellent_a book_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n doctrine_n the_o book_n of_o homily_n to_o read_v 2_o homily_n every_o sunday_n and_o it_o have_v the_o 39_o article_n bind_v up_o with_o it_o that_o all_o seafaring_a man_n may_v see_v the_o excellent_a doctrine_n of_o the_o old_a church_n of_o england_n to_o be_v for_o sound_a piety_n and_o holiness_n and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o profaneness_n of_o this_o age_n that_o it_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o the_o fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n abhor_v and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o old_a of_o some_o that_o know_v not_o joseph_n so_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o great_a wickedness_n of_o this_o age_n that_o it_o be_v from_o such_o as_o know_v not_o god_n neither_o do_v they_o true_o know_v and_o believe_v and_o practice_n that_o true_a fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o it_o be_v well_o if_o the_o reverend_a bishop_n will_v consult_v the_o great_a need_n there_o be_v of_o such_o law_n as_o may_v in_o some_o measure_n at_o least_o bring_v man_n to_o as_o near_o a_o conformity_n to_o the_o substantial_a fundamental_a holiness_n sobriety_n charity_n justice_n and_o all_o christian_n fundamental_a duty_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n that_o be_v contain_v in_o so_o holy_a a_o doctrine_n 60._o and_o that_o every_o ship_n that_o do_v carry_v 120_o man_n or_o more_o do_v carry_v a_o able_a sober_a minister_n to_o instruct_v the_o seaman_n in_o their_o duty_n towards_o god_n and_o to_o reprove_v the_o vice_n of_o any_o one_o in_o the_o ship_n and_o by_o their_o doctrine_n and_o conversation_n to_o show_v to_o they_o that_o the_o fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v for_o the_o real_a service_n of_o god_n and_o holiness_n and_o against_o all_o sin_n and_o that_o they_o that_o profess_v the_o doctrine_n and_o live_v in_o wickedness_n be_v false_a pretender_n to_o so_o holy_a doctrine_n 61._o and_o therefore_o that_o excellent_a act_n against_o curse_v and_o swear_v if_o well_o execute_v will_v be_v a_o good_a beginning_n and_o a_o good_a help_n towards_o a_o moral_a reformation_n so_o if_o the_o great_a debauchery_n of_o this_o age_n can_v be_v suppress_v it_o will_v be_v a_o good_a help_n towards_o man_n come_n to_o consider_v of_o a_o future_a state_n and_o to_o think_v that_o whatever_o they_o be_v themselves_o at_o present_a yet_o mankind_n be_v create_v to_o live_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o to_o honour_v he_o and_o not_o to_o live_v like_o beast_n and_o worse_o than_o beast_n and_o the_o more_o excellent_a the_o fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o christianity_n be_v in_o any_o church_n or_o nation_n the_o great_a the_o condemnation_n of_o those_o must_v be_v that_o do_v sin_n against_o the_o light_n of_o the_o same_o and_o will_v not_o regard_v to_o walk_v according_a unto_o it_o and_o now_o have_v say_v this_o i_o will_v return_v again_o to_o another_o encouragement_n i_o think_v there_o be_v great_a need_n of_o although_o the_o seaman_n in_o all_o merchant_n ship_n that_o go_v well_o and_o come_v well_o in_o the_o merchant_n service_n pay_v something_o towards_o the_o same_o and_o that_o be_v 62._o that_o all_o fleet_n of_o merchant_n ship_n shall_v as_o much_o as_o possible_a keep_v company_n and_o stand_v by_o one_o the_o other_o except_o much_o overpower_v and_o for_o want_v of_o this_o there_o be_v 6_o or_o 7_o ship_n take_v out_o of_o 12_o in_o one_o fleet_n by_o 2_o privateer_n therefore_o those_o ship_n that_o will_v not_o fight_v the_o commander_n ought_v to_o be_v make_v public_a example_n 63._o and_o those_o that_o fight_v stout_o as_o brave_a englishman_n to_o be_v encourage_v and_o prefer_v 64._o and_o that_o those_o seaman_n that_o lose_v their_o life_n or_o limb_n in_o merchant_n ship_n shall_v be_v encourage_v and_o have_v bounty-mony_n as_o in_o his_o majesty_n service_n they_o that_o be_v wound_v or_o kill_v there_o have_v but_o now_o i_o will_v not_o be_v mistake_v to_o think_v that_o his_o majesty_n shall_v pay_v it_o although_o if_o a_o merchant_n ship_n be_v lose_v it_o may_v fall_v out_o that_o his_o majesty_n may_v lose_v 4000_o l_o custom_n and_o be_v it_o so_o they_o do_v fight_v and_o save_v the_o ship_n and_o good_n if_o there_o be_v 20_o kill_v and_o 10_o wound_v if_o his_o majesty_n pay_v each_o of_o they_o or_o their_o family_n 20_o l_o it_o be_v 200_o l_o and_o his_o majesty_n will_v save_v 3600_o l_o by_o the_o save_a the_o ship_n at_o last_o and_o the_o merchant_n it_o may_v be_v 30000_o l_o by_o the_o bargain_n also_o and_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v of_o great_a use_n to_o the_o king_n and_o to_o the_o merchant_n and_o to_o the_o nation_n in_o general_n to_o save_v our_o ship_n as_o much_o as_o possible_a and_o ruin_v our_o enemy_n as_o much_o as_o possible_a and_o encourage_v our_o seaman_n and_o master_n to_o fight_v to_o save_v the_o ship_n as_o much_o as_o possible_a but_o i_o have_v often_o wonder_v that_o any_o merchant_n shall_v be_v so_o barbarous_a or_o master_n so_o uncharitable_a as_o not_o to_o give_v the_o seman_n family_n one_o penny_n of_o eucouragement_n who_o lay_v down_o their_o life_n and_o save_v their_o ship_n and_o sometime_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o some_o that_o have_v be_v force_v to_o go_v to_o law_n for_o their_o wage_n after_o the_o ship_n be_v save_v and_o as_o i_o remember_v a_o customer_n of_o i_o be_v force_v to_o pay_v the_o chirurgeon_n 3_o or_o 4_o l_o to_o cure_v he_o of_o his_o wound_n now_o i_o do_v look_v on_o this_o as_o barbarous_a and_o i_o do_v say_v in_o this_o respect_n the_o service_n of_o his_o majesty_n be_v much_o better_a than_o the_o merchantman_n and_o will_v be_v in_o many_o other_o also_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o fault_n of_o officer_n and_o officer_n of_o divers_a sort_n but_o this_o by_o the_o way_n for_o i_o think_v we_o shall_v be_v the_o most_o happy_a people_n under_o the_o face_n of_o heaven_n if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o sin_n and_o folly_n and_o bribery_n and_o knavery_n and_o villainy_n of_o the_o age_n we_o live_v in_o whereby_o man_n be_v ruin_v and_o plague_v and_o afflict_a more_o than_o ever_o in_o several_a kind_n both_o in_o man_n of_o war_n and_o merchant_n ship_n and_o the_o king_n and_o country_n lose_v by_o the_o same_o at_o last_o many_o seaman_n serve_v as_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v other_o nation_n by_o be_v so_o much_o discourage_v in_o their_o own_o but_o i_o leave_v that_o and_o will_v to_o god_n that_o all_o will_v indeed_o leave_v it_o in_o good_a earnest_n and_o set_v themselves_o to_o study_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o his_o majesty_n and_o the_o common_a good_a of_o all_o these_o nation_n and_o in_o order_n to_o it_o i_o think_v this_o be_v one_o to_o encourage_v all_o seaman_n as_o much_o as_o possible_a to_o preserve_v our_o ship_n and_o one_o way_n be_v that_o as_o i_o say_v whoever_o lose_v their_o limb_n or_o life_n in_o defend_v a_o merchant_n ship_n shall_v have_v pension_n or_o bounty-mony_n and_o i_o suppose_v that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o law_n make_v that_o every_o one_o shall_v be_v so_o reward_v every_o seaman_n will_v be_v more_o willing_a to_o venture_v their_o life_n to_o save_v their_o ship_n and_o the_o very_a seaman_n in_o merchant_n ship_n
